🇪🇺 EURES European Jobs Scraper — 2M+ Jobs, 31 Countries

Search 2M+ live vacancies on EURES, the European Commission's official job-mobility portal covering 31 European countries (EU + EEA + Switzerland), via its public jv-search REST API.

• No login, no cookies, no proxies — reads the official public API directly
• Server-side filters — keyword, country/NUTS region, contract type, working time, education, experience, posting age
• Clean, flat JSON — employer, apply URL, posted date, ESCO occupation categories
• Delta mode — scheduled runs emit only postings not seen before, so job-alert pipelines pay only for new results

What EURES jobs data does this scraper extract?

Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting:

Field	Meaning
id	Stable source-side identifier
title	Job title as posted
company	Hiring company / organisation (null if EURES doesn't disclose one)
country	ISO country code(s) the vacancy is located in (e.g. "DE", or "DE, FR" for multi-country postings). EURES exposes country + NUTS-region codes, not free-text city names, so this is code data, not a street address
location	Deprecated alias of country — identical value, kept for backward compatibility. New integrations should read country
url	Direct link to the posting on the EURES portal
postedAt	Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD), or null if EURES didn't supply a valid creation date
lastModifiedAt	Date the posting was last updated (YYYY-MM-DD), or null
contractType	Contract type code, e.g. directhire (permanent), temporary, internship, apprenticeship, seasonal, selfemployed… (null if unspecified)
workingTime	Working-time codes, e.g. ["fulltime"], ["parttime"], ["flextime"] (null if unspecified)
jobCategories	ESCO occupation URIs the vacancy is classified under (null if unclassified)
languages	ISO 639-1 codes the vacancy is advertised in, e.g. ["en", "fr"] (null if none)
numberOfPosts	How many positions this vacancy is hiring for (null if not stated)
euresFlag	true when flagged as a cross-border / EURES-network opportunity
employerWebsite	Employer website URL when disclosed (often null — EURES rarely populates it)
employerSector	NACE economic-sector codes for the employer (often null)
snippet	Short plain-text description excerpt (HTML stripped)
source	Always "eures"

How to scrape EURES 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/eures-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~eures-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
keywords	array	(built-in seeds)	One or more search terms. The scraper fans one API call per keyword and deduplicates results. Leave empty to use a built-in set of professional role seeds.
locationCodes	array	(all EU)	Restrict results to specific EU countries or NUTS regions. Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g. "de", "es", "fr") or NUTS codes. Leave empty to search all EU member states.
publishedWithin	string (day|week|month)	week	Only fetch vacancies EURES marks as posted within this window (filtered server-side by the EURES API). week matches this Actor's previous fixed behaviour.
contractType	array (multi-select)	(all)	Server-side filter: keep only vacancies offering one of these contract types (directhire, temporary, temporarytohire, contracttohire, contract, apprenticeship, internship, seasonal, selfemployed, oncall, volunteer, recruitmentreserve).
workingTime	array (multi-select)	(all)	Server-side filter: keep only vacancies with one of these working-time patterns (fulltime, parttime, flextime).
educationLevel	array (multi-select)	(all)	Server-side filter: keep only vacancies requiring one of these education levels (basic, medium, tertiary, bachelor, master, doctoral).
experienceLevel	array (multi-select)	(all)	Server-side filter: keep only vacancies requiring one of these experience bands (none_required, up_to_1_year, between_1_and_2_years, between_2_and_5_years, more_than_5_years).
titleExclude	array of strings	[]	Skip listings whose title contains any of these case-insensitive terms.
companyExclude	array of strings	[]	Skip listings whose company name contains any of these case-insensitive terms.
onlyNewSinceLastRun	boolean	false	Delta / incremental mode: remember every vacancy id returned on previous runs and emit only postings not seen before. Ideal for scheduled runs / job-alert bots — you pay only for genuinely new vacancies. State persists in a named key-value store across runs.
maxItems	integer	50 (max 5000)	Maximum number of vacancies to return across all keyword queries. Combined with deduplication, this is a hard cap on pushed records. Each result returned is billed — see Pricing below.
timeoutSeconds (Advanced)	integer	20	How long to wait for a reply from the EURES API before giving up on that request, in seconds.
cacheTtlSeconds (Advanced)	integer	1800	Reuse a search's results for this many seconds instead of asking EURES again, so quick repeat runs are faster and cheaper. Set 0 to always fetch fresh results.

How this EURES scraper compares

Delta mode	✅ onlyNewSinceLastRun remembers past results across runs — scheduled alerts pay only for new postings	❌ every run re-bills the same postings
Server-side filters	Contract type (12 values), working time, education, experience, country/NUTS region, posting age — filtered by EURES itself, so you're never billed for records you'd discard	usually keyword + country only
Login / cookies / proxies	None needed	often required
Failure handling	Fail-open: bounded retries with backoff; unexpected errors end the run SUCCEEDED with an uncharged diagnostic row, so scheduled pipelines never break	hard failures

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape EURES 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, filtered server-side by EURES to postings from the last day/week/month via the publishedWithin input (default: last week). Within that, 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 (default 50, maximum 5000). Results are sorted by keyword-match relevance, not strictly newest-first. For very large pulls, add more keywords so the fan-out reaches distinct postings, and raise the run's timeout if needed.

Can I filter by contract type, hours or education? Yes — contractType, workingTime, educationLevel and experienceLevel are applied server-side by EURES itself, so filtered runs fetch (and bill) only matching vacancies. Combine them with keywords, locationCodes and publishedWithin.

Can I fetch only new jobs on a schedule? Set onlyNewSinceLastRun: true. The Actor remembers vacancy ids across runs in a named key-value store and emits only postings it hasn't seen before — perfect for daily job-alert bots, and you only pay for genuinely new vacancies.

Does it return salary data? The EURES public jv-search API returns no structured salary field — verified directly against the live response, which carries no salary/compensation attribute on the vacancy or employer object. Where an employer states pay, it appears only inside the free-text snippet/description. This Actor deliberately emits no salary field rather than an always-empty or guessed one.

Is scraping EURES allowed? EURES data comes from its public API. Per the portal's terms it is intended for personal / link-back use — review the EURES terms for your use case.

How reliable are the runs? The Actor is built fail-open: transient EURES/API hiccups are retried with backoff, and any unexpected error ends the run SUCCEEDED with a single uncharged diagnostic row rather than a hard failure — so scheduled pipelines never break on a blip and you are never billed for a non-result.

Something broken or missing? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab — it is monitored and reliability fixes ship fast.
