Job Bank Canada Scraper

Stop re-checking Job Bank by hand: get only the new jobs for your searches every morning — in a sheet, Slack or your own job board. Search Job Bank (Canada) by keyword, location or a pasted search URL and get every matching job as clean JSON with the salary split into min / max / interval; schedule it and each run marks which jobs are new since your last run.

Don't know which companies to watch? The Greenhouse Jobs Scraper searches 4,800 companies by job title — no company names needed — and reports exactly which matching roles are new or closed each run.

How "new since last run" works

The Actor remembers which jobs each search returned last time. A job it has not seen before is marked isNewSinceLastRun: true. If the whole search fits within Max jobs, the comparison is exact and jobs that disappeared come back as type: "closed" rows. If the search is bigger than Max jobs, a job only counts as new when it was also posted after your previous run — so an old job that merely moved into view is never reported as new.

Filters (title, location text, salary, remote) never change the comparison, so changing a filter never makes jobs look new.

What you get

Field
title, company	as listed
location, city, province	the place as listed (Kamloops (BC)), split into the city and the two-letter province code
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryInterval, salaryText	the pay as numbers (hour, week, month, year) and the text as shown ($18.50 to $20.00 hourly)
remote, workLocation	true for Remote, false for On site, null for Hybrid or not shown; workLocation keeps the label
postedOnJobBank, directApply, source, jobNumber	posted directly by the employer on Job Bank (or brought in from a partner site such as indeed.com or Talent.com, named in source), apply on Job Bank itself, and the job number shown
postedAt	the posting date (Job Bank shows the day, not the time)
description, employmentType, workHours, postalCode, expiresAt	from the job page when Include the full description is on: the job text, permanent or temporary and full or part time, hours per week, the workplace postal code, the closing date
isNewSinceLastRun	true / false, or null on the first run (unknown, not "old")
jobUrl	link to the job on Job Bank
search	which of your searches returned it

Contact names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never returned.

Input

Put one search per line in Searches (e.g. cook) and optionally a Location (e.g. Toronto). Location takes a Canadian city or province (Toronto, Alberta, BC); a city also brings jobs from the towns around it, as on Job Bank. Leave it empty for all of Canada. Job Bank shows the posting date without a time, and asks for one request every 5 seconds: a page of 25 jobs every 5 seconds, and job pages only when you turn on the full description. Many searches in one run are cheaper than one run each.

A search the site refuses comes back as an error row and the run carries on. When the job board itself is down or failing (HTTP 5xx or no answer), the error row says so and carries sourceDown: true, so you can tell it from a problem in this Actor; nothing is charged for what could not be read.

Get only the new jobs every morning (3 steps)

1. Open this Actor in Apify Console, fill in your searches, set What to return to Only jobs that are new since the last run, and click Save as a new task.
2. On the task, add a Schedule — for example daily at 07:00.
3. Open the task's Integrations tab and connect Slack, email, Google Sheets (or Zapier / Make / a webhook). Each morning you get only the new jobs.

You pay only for the new jobs plus $0.01 per run, so a quiet day costs about a cent. When you export by hand, pick the Jobs view: 13 tidy columns, title first, instead of every raw field.

Pricing

$0.90 per 1,000 jobs, plus $0.01 per run. Closed-job rows and errors are free. With Only jobs that are new since the last run, a daily schedule only pays for the new ones.

For AI agents

For a fast answer call with {"searches": ["cook"], "maxJobsPerSearch": 20, "includeDescription": false} — a few seconds. The defaults (up to 200 jobs with full descriptions) can take about a minute, which is longer than many agent tool timeouts. Each row has type: job, closed or error. isNewSinceLastRun: null means "no previous run to compare with".

Same filters on every site (10/2026): experience level (read from the title: intern → executive, returned as a seniority column) and employment type (the site's own words normalised into full-time / part-time / contract / temporary / internship, returned as employmentTypes). They only narrow what is returned — no extra requests, no extra cost.

Zero rows is never ambiguous. The run's status message says why, per search — e.g. "zzz": no results on the site, results found but all removed by your filters or nothing new since the last run — and the OUTPUT record in the run's key-value store has the same as JSON: perSearch[].status is ok, no-results, all-filtered, nothing-new or error, with listed, read, returned, new and closed. Set summaryRows: true to get it as free type: "summary" rows instead.

Same core columns on every northbell job scraper (15 job sites + 10 company-career-page scrapers), so you can stack them into one table: jobId, title, company, location, countryCode (ISO, job sites), remote (true / false / null), employmentType (the site's own words), postedAt, jobUrl, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryInterval, isNewSinceLastRun. Unknown is null, never a guess.
