EURAXESS Jobs Scraper — EU Research Positions

Fetch open research positions — PhD, postdoc, fellowship and faculty — from EURAXESS, the EU's official researcher mobility portal.

What EURAXESS jobs data does this scraper extract?

Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting:

Field	Meaning
id	Stable source-side identifier (EURAXESS node id)
title	Job title as posted
company	Hiring institution / organisation
location	City + country where stated, else country only
country	Posting country (EURAXESS highlight label)
url	Direct link to the posting
postedAt	Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD), null if not stated
field	Research discipline tag(s), e.g. "Medical sciences » Health sciences"; multiple tags joined with ; , null if untagged
deadline	Application deadline as an ISO 8601 timestamp, null if the posting has none
snippet	Short description excerpt

How to scrape EURAXESS jobs with this Actor

1. Click Try for free / Run — no login to the target site, no cookies, no proxies to configure.
2. Adjust the input (keyword, filters, maxItems) or keep the defaults.
3. Run it and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it over the API.

Run it from your own code:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("nomad-agent/euraxess-scraper").call(run_input={"maxItems": 50})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], "—", item["company"], item["url"])

Or a single HTTP call that runs the Actor and returns items in one response:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nomad-agent~euraxess-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
keyword	string	""	Free-text search across job titles and descriptions (e.g. "machine learning", "postdoc biology"). Leave empty to return all current job offers.
countryFilter	string	""	Optional case-insensitive substring match on the posting country, applied client-side. E.g. "germany", "france", "spain".
postedSince	integer	0	Only return job offers posted within this many days (client-side, applied after fetch). 0 = no freshness filter.
maxItems	integer	100	Maximum number of job offers to return. Each returned job is a billed result. 0 = no limit (the source exposes roughly 500 current offers per query).
requestTimeoutSecs	integer	30	(Advanced) How many seconds to wait for the EURAXESS website to answer before giving up on that page.
cacheTtlSeconds	integer	1800	(Advanced) Reuse a page already fetched from EURAXESS for this many seconds instead of downloading it again on a quick re-run. 0 disables caching.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape EURAXESS jobs? This Actor reads only publicly available job postings — data any visitor can see without logging in. No personal data behind authentication is touched. Review the target site's terms and your local regulations for your specific use case.

Do I need an account on the target site? No. Postings are fetched from public pages/APIs — no login, cookies or session tokens.

How fresh is the data? Every run fetches live listings. Results are cached for cacheTtlSeconds (default 30 min, set 0 to always hit the source live).

How many jobs can I get? maxItems caps the run (set 0 where supported for no cap). Most sources paginate from newest to oldest.
