MyJobMag, Jobberman, BrighterMonday & Careers24 Jobs Scraper

Scrape job postings from MyJobMag, Jobberman, BrighterMonday and Careers24, 8 African job boards in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda, into one format. You get title, company, location, salary, job type, posting and closing dates, and the full description. Filter by keyword and date, and on a schedule get only the jobs that are new since your last run.

Price: $1.50 per 1,000 jobs (+ $1.00 per 1,000 if you want full job details). There is no start fee, and boards that fail cost nothing.

What does Africa Jobs Scraper do?

It reads the public job listings of these boards (the same pages anyone can open without an account) and returns one row per job in a single unified schema:

Board	Country	Board id
MyJobMag	Nigeria	myjobmag-ng
MyJobMag	Kenya	myjobmag-ke
MyJobMag	South Africa	myjobmag-za
Jobberman	Nigeria	jobberman-ng
Jobberman	Ghana	jobberman-gh
BrighterMonday	Kenya	brightermonday-ke
BrighterMonday	Uganda	brightermonday-ug
Careers24	South Africa	careers24-za

For every job you get:

• Job: title, company, location, job type (full time, contract, internship...), work mode (onsite / remote / hybrid), job function and industry
• Salary: the text shown on the board (e.g. NGN 150,000 - 250,000, Market Related) plus parsed salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod (MONTH / YEAR)
• Dates: postedDate and closing date (validThrough) as YYYY-MM-DD
• Requirements (with details): education, experience level, years of experience
• Full description as clean plain text, with bullet points kept
• Job URL, apply URL, company page and logo, plus featured and easyApply flags

What makes it different

• One schema across 8 boards: no need to stitch four different scrapers together.
• Grouped MyJobMag posts handled: "Jobs at Company X" cards with 10+ positions become one row per position.
• Structured data first: dates, salary ranges and requirements come from the boards' own schema.org JobPosting data, not from guessing in the HTML.
• Duplicate removal across boards: the same job posted on MyJobMag and Jobberman is returned once, and you are not charged for the duplicate.
• "Only new jobs" mode for schedules: the scraper remembers what it already gave you (for 120 days) and returns only new postings.
• Privacy by default: e-mail addresses and phone numbers of recruiters are removed from all text. Rows where this happened have contactsRedacted: true.

Use cases

• Job aggregators and job alert apps: feed fresh Nigerian, Kenyan, South African, Ghanaian and Ugandan jobs into your site or WhatsApp/Telegram alert bot every day.
• Recruiters and staffing agencies: see who is hiring for which roles, in which city, and at what salary.
• Labour-market and salary research: track demand by job function, industry, location and salary range across 5 countries.
• HR-tech and AI products: build datasets for job classification, salary prediction or skills extraction.
• Sales prospecting: build a list of companies with open roles in a city or industry, then research them from the company name and job page (no personal contact data is collected).

    "detailsFetched": true,

}

Which fields are filled depends on what each board publishes. Jobberman and BrighterMonday show salary ranges on most jobs, MyJobMag shows experience in years and education, and Careers24 shows salary as text (e.g. "Market Related"). Missing values are null, never invented.

If a board cannot be reached, you get a free row with type: "error" and an errorCode (BOARD_FAILED, NO_RESULTS, INVALID_INPUT) instead of a failed run.

The dataset has ready-made views in Apify Console: Overview, Full details and Status & errors. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store shows pages, jobs and skipped duplicates per board.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you only pay for the jobs you get. Platform usage is included.

Event	Price	When it is charged
job	$0.0015 per job ($1.50 / 1,000)	Each job saved to the dataset
job-details	$0.001 per job ($1.00 / 1,000)	Only when Include full job details is on and the job page was read successfully
Errors, duplicates, already-seen jobs	Free

Examples:

Job	Cost
20 jobs from each of the 8 boards with details (160 jobs)	160 × $0.0025 = $0.40
1,000 jobs, listing data only	$1.50
1,000 jobs with full details	$2.50

There is no start fee. Set Max cost per run in the run options and the scraper stops cleanly when your budget is reached.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents can call this Actor through the Apify MCP server as openharvest/africa-jobs-scraper. It is a good fit for questions such as "Which companies in Lagos are hiring accountants this week and what do they pay?" Example input an agent can send:

{
    "boards": ["jobberman-ng", "myjobmag-ng"],
    "keyword": "accountant",
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "maxJobsPerBoard": 25,
    "includeDetails": false
}

Use includeDetails: false for quick, cheap overviews, and true when the agent needs the full description or the closing date.

FAQ

Do I need an account on these job boards? No. The scraper reads only public job listings that anyone can open without logging in.

How many jobs can I get? MyJobMag and Careers24 can be paged through deeply. For Jobberman and BrighterMonday the scraper follows the pages that the sites allow robots to visit: the newest about 160 jobs per board, then the same lists by job function, industry, location and job type. That covers most of the open jobs on each board. Use maxJobsPerBoard: 0 for no limit.

How fresh is the data? Live: every run reads the boards at that moment. For a daily feed, schedule the Actor with onlyNewJobs: true and postedWithinDays: 3.

Why are some jobs older than my date filter? They are not: postedWithinDays removes them. Without the filter, MyJobMag sometimes pins old posts to the top of a list, and those are returned as they are shown.

How does the keyword filter work? All words must appear in the job title or job function (accountant matches "Senior Accountant"). On Careers24 the site's own search is used.

Why is location just the country on some BrighterMonday jobs? That is how the employer posted it. We do not guess a city.

Do you return recruiters' e-mails or phone numbers? No. E-mail addresses and phone numbers are removed from all text fields (contactsRedacted shows where this happened). To apply, use applyUrl.

Is Pnet or MyJobMag Ghana supported? Not yet. MyJobMag Ghana has posted almost no new jobs since 2024, so Ghana is covered through Jobberman Ghana. Tell us in the Issues tab if you need another board.

Is it legal to scrape these job boards?

This Actor only collects publicly available job advertisements that the boards publish on the open web without login. It follows the sites' robots.txt page limits, sends requests at a moderate rate, and removes personal contact details of recruiters. Job ads may still contain copyrighted text and company information, so make sure your use complies with applicable laws (e.g. Nigeria's NDPA, Kenya's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA, GDPR) and with the boards' terms. Do not use the data for spam or unsolicited messages. If you are unsure, consult a lawyer.
