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

Claude / Codex skill to describe and setup this actor: SKILL.md

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

What EURES jobs data does this scraper extract?

Published postings follow nomad-agent-job-row-v1. The shared fields carry source identity, title and company, parsed locations, dates, the complete plain-text body when available, source markup when usable, and work type. Unavailable scalar facts are null; no parsed location is []. Source-only facts appear in versioned custom.data only when mapped there. See the Output example section for the exact dataset fields and diagnostic rows.

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.
postedWithin	string	7d	Keep only jobs published inside this window. Use any for no date filter, or a duration — 1h, 24h, 3d, 2w, 6m. Jobs the source published no date for are kept rather than dropped. Filtered server-side by the EURES API, which offers day, week and month rungs; a finer window is cut client-side after fetching. Replaces publishedWithin, still accepted for existing integrations.
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.
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.

Output example

Every row follows nomad-agent-job-row-v1, the one shape shared by all of this fleet's job Actors. A row carries every field; null means the source did not publish that fact, and locations: [] means no usable location was parsed from the posting. Nothing is guessed.

Field	Meaning
schemaVersion	Always "nomad-agent-job-row-v1".
recordType	"posting" for a job, "diagnostic" for a row reporting something about the run itself.
source	Which job source the posting came from, from the collector registry's vocabulary — not the Actor name.
id	Stable identifier for the posting within source.
url	Canonical public URL of the posting on the source site.
title	Job title exactly as the source publishes it, untruncated.
company	Employer name as published.
locations	Sorted ISO country codes from the EURES locationMap, for example ["DE", "FR"].
postedAt	When the source published the posting, ISO-8601 UTC (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
deadline	Closing date for applications as an ISO-8601 calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD).
description	The complete posting body as plain text — never truncated, never summarised.
descriptionHtml	The posting body as the source's own markup, preserving lists, headings and links.
workType	Working arrangement: "remote", "hybrid" or "onsite".
custom	Facts only this source publishes, as {"schemaId", "data"}.

Deprecated fields

This Actor is on a paid integration contract, so the fields it published before this shape are still emitted alongside the ones above during a transition window, unchanged:

contractType employerSector employerWebsite euresFlag jobCategories languages lastModifiedAt numberOfPosts snippet workingTime

They will be removed once the integrations reading them have moved. Nothing above changes when they go.

A run also emits diagnostic rows — recordType: "diagnostic" with a warnings array — when it has something to report, such as a source returning nothing. They are never billed and are easy to filter out on recordType.

Integrations

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Console, pull it over the Apify API (e.g. run-sync-get-dataset-items for a single blocking call), wire it into Make/Zapier/n8n, or call it as a tool from AI agents via the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.005 per Actor start and $0.003 per job returned. 100 jobs ≈ $0.305. No subscription, no rental — you pay only for what you fetch.

Use cases

• Pan-EU job boards and relocation services
• Cross-border labour-market research
• Job-alert bots for EU-wide searches
• Feeding matching engines with EU-wide supply

How this EURES scraper compares

	This Actor	Typical alternatives
Data source	Official EURES public REST API — no headless browser, so runs finish in seconds	HTML scraping or browser automation

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 or month — the narrowest of those that contains your postedWithin window (default: 7d), with the exact cut applied after fetching. 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 postedWithin.

Does it return salary data? The EURES public jv-search API exposes no structured salary field. Where an employer states pay in the posting body, it remains in description. The shared flat row has no salary column, and the Actor does not guess 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.
