What is JobsDB Job Scraper?

JobsDB Job Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts job listings from JobsDB — the leading job site in Thailand and Hong Kong, part of the SEEK network. It pulls structured data directly from JobsDB's own job-search results, including salaries, work types, classifications, company metadata, work arrangements (on-site/hybrid/remote), and listing tags.

Think of it as a JobsDB API alternative — there is no official public API for third parties, but this scraper delivers the same structured job data programmatically. It's built for recruitment analytics, salary benchmarking, and labor market research across Thailand and Hong Kong.

What can JobsDB Job Scraper do?

• 🔍 Keyword + location search — search any job title, skill, or phrase, scoped to a city/region or country-wide
• 🌏 Two country sites — switch between Thailand (th.jobsdb.com) and Hong Kong (hk.jobsdb.com) with a single country parameter
• 📅 Recency filtering — restrict results to jobs posted in the past 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days
• 🔗 Direct search URLs — paste any JobsDB search URL into startUrl to reuse filters already applied on the site
• 🏷️ Rich listing metadata — classifications, sub-classifications, work arrangements, bullet-point highlights, and urgency tags
• ⏱️ Scheduling & API access — run on autopilot with Apify Schedules and pull results via the Apify API or client libraries
• 📊 Multiple export formats — download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or RSS

How it works

1. The Actor resolves your country, keyword, and location into a JobsDB search request (or parses your startUrl directly, filling in the required site key if it's missing)
2. It pages through JobsDB's job-search results, 20 jobs per page, up to maxPagesPerList or until the requested number of jobs is reached
3. If posted_date is set, JobsDB's own recency filter narrows results server-side before pagination even starts
4. Every job is pushed to the dataset as it's collected, so partial results are available even if a run is stopped early

How to use via API — Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("parsebird/jobsdb-job-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "data analyst",
    "location": "Bangkok",
    "country": "th",
    "posted_date": "7d",
    "maxJobs": 40,
})

for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{job['title']} at {job['company']} — {job['location']} — {job.get('salary') or 'N/A'}")

How to use via API — JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/jobsdb-job-scraper').call({
    keyword: 'data analyst',
    location: 'Bangkok',
    country: 'th',
    posted_date: '7d',
    maxJobs: 40,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(job => {
    console.log(`${job.title} at ${job.company} — ${job.location} — ${job.salary || 'N/A'}`);
});

FAQ

What's the difference between results_wanted and maxJobs? They do the same thing — maxJobs is kept as a compatible alias for users migrating input JSON from other JobsDB scrapers. If both are set, the Actor uses whichever value is higher.

Does collectDetails fetch full job description pages? No. JobsDB's search results already include everything this Actor outputs per job (including the teaser text in description_text), so no extra detail-page requests are made. The toggle is kept for input compatibility with existing workflows; description_html is a reserved field and always returns null.

Does posted_date filter jobs on JobsDB's own server, or after the fact? On JobsDB's server — posted_date maps to JobsDB's native recency filter, so filtered runs are faster and cheaper since only matching jobs are ever fetched.

Can I use my own search URLs? Yes. Paste a JobsDB search URL into startUrl (e.g. https://hk.jobsdb.com/jobs?siteKey=HK-Main&keywords=project+manager) and the Actor will use it directly, ignoring keyword, location, and country.

What happens if a search returns no jobs? The Actor finishes successfully with an empty dataset and logs a warning — this isn't treated as an error.

Why is salary sometimes an empty string? Not every JobsDB employer publishes a salary range. An empty salary means the source listing didn't provide one.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run daily, weekly, or at any interval, and combine with posted_date to track only new postings.

Can I access the data via API? Yes. Use the Apify API or the official Python and JavaScript client libraries to run the Actor and retrieve results programmatically.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML, and RSS. Download directly from the Apify Console or via the API.

Is there a free trial? Yes. New Apify users get free platform credit to try JobsDB Job Scraper before committing to a paid plan.
