Jora Jobs Scraper (AU, NZ, SG & More)

Jora Jobs Scraper (AU, NZ, SG & More)

Scrape job listings from Jora — a job search engine covering Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia — by keyword and location, or by pasting a public Jora search URL. Get structured titles, companies, locations, salaries, job types, posting dates, and full job descriptions as clean JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Search any of Jora's six country sites by keyword, location, and posting date, or start from a Jora search URL — every job comes back with its full description text and HTML, salary and job-type when Jora shows one, and a stable job ID for deduplication.

What does Jora Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor extracts job postings from Jora, a job search engine used across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It reads Jora's own server-rendered search results for the fast-moving fields (salary, job type, posting date), then opens each job's page to pull the complete description, so you don't just get a truncated summary.

• 🌏 Six country sites — Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Singapore, selectable with one input field.
• 🔎 Keyword + location search — search any role or skill (software engineer, data analyst, warehouse) combined with a city or region, or leave both blank for an unfiltered feed.
• 🔗 Start URL mode — paste a public Jora search URL (with any filters you've already applied in the browser) and the Actor scrapes from there instead of rebuilding the search.
• 📅 Posting-date filter — restrict results to the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
• 💰 Salary and job type — parsed from Jora's own badges whenever the listing shows them (hourly, monthly, or annual, in each site's local currency).
• 📝 Full job descriptions — every result includes the complete description_text and description_html from the job's detail page, not just the search-result snippet.
• 🚦 Reliable by default — ships with a residential proxy preset, because Jora blocks Apify's default datacenter proxy outright.

How is this different from browsing Jora by hand?

Jora's search results page only shows a two- or three-bullet summary per job. This Actor pages through the search results, then opens each job individually to capture the real description, salary, and job type — and returns everything as structured data you can filter, sort, or pipe into another system, instead of copy-pasting from the browser.

Input parameters

Every field is optional. With no keyword, location, or start URL, the Actor scrapes Jora's default Australia feed.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrl	string	No	Empty	Public Jora search URL to use as the starting point.
keyword	string	No	Empty	Job title, skill, or phrase to search for when startUrl is empty. Leave blank for an unfiltered search.
location	string	No	Empty	City, region, or other location filter. Leave empty for a broader search.
country	string	No	Australia	Jora site to search when startUrl is empty: Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, or Singapore.
posted_date	string	No	anytime	Posting-date filter: anytime, 24h, 7d, or 30d.
results_wanted	integer	No	20	Maximum number of jobs to save, from 1 upward.
max_pages	integer	No	10	Maximum number of search result pages to process, from 1 upward.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Jora residential preset	Apify Proxy settings. Jora blocks Apify's default datacenter proxy, so residential routing ships preset.

How to scrape Jora jobs

1. Open the Jora Jobs Scraper on Apify and click Try for free.
2. Enter a keyword (e.g. data analyst) and a location (e.g. Sydney), or paste a full Jora search URL into Start URL.
3. Pick a country if you're not searching Australia, and optionally set a posted date filter.
4. Set Results wanted and Max pages — start small (e.g. 20 and 5) for a fast, cheap test run.
5. Leave the proxy on the Jora residential preset — Jora blocks Apify's default datacenter proxy.
6. Click Start, then download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Storage tab, or pull them from the API.

For recurring searches, schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly and feed new listings into a sheet, database, or alert.

How much does it cost to scrape Jora?

This Actor uses the pay-per-event model — you are charged per job saved to the dataset, with lower rates on paid Apify plans.

Plan	Price per job	Price per 1,000 jobs
Free	$0.00109	$1.09
Bronze	$0.00099	$0.99
Silver	$0.00089	$0.89
Gold	$0.00079	$0.79

Scraping 1,000 jobs on the Free plan costs about $1.09. Your monthly Apify platform credits typically cover several thousand jobs on top of that.

How it works

1. The Actor builds a Jora search URL from your keyword, location, country, and posted-date filter — or uses your Start URL directly.
2. It requests each search results page and parses every job card for title, company, location, salary, job type, posting date, sponsorship flag, and job ID.
3. It stops paginating once results_wanted is reached, max_pages is hit, or Jora returns no further new results.
4. For each collected job, it opens the job's own detail page to extract the complete description as both plain text and HTML.
5. Jobs are pushed to the dataset page by page, so partial results are available even on a long run.

Using the Actor via API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("parsebird/jora-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "data analyst",
    "country": "Singapore",
    "posted_date": "7d",
    "results_wanted": 50,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], "—", item.get("company"), "—", item.get("salary"))

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/jora-jobs-scraper').call({
    keyword: 'software engineer',
    location: 'Melbourne',
    results_wanted: 50,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

The Actor runs on the Apify platform, so you also get scheduling, a full REST API, webhooks, and native integrations with Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, and Slack. Results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.

Use cases

• Job market research — track how many roles for a given title are posted across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
• Recruiting and sourcing — pull fresh, structured listings for a role or region into an ATS or spreadsheet.
• Salary benchmarking — collect the salary lines Jora exposes across job types and locations.
• Competitor monitoring — watch a company's or industry's hiring activity over time with scheduled runs.
• Job aggregation — feed a niche job board or newsletter with structured Jora listings.

FAQ

Do I need a Jora account? No. The Actor reads only public job listings. You need an Apify account to run it.

Why is a residential proxy required? Jora is behind Cloudflare and blocks Apify's default datacenter proxy outright. The Actor ships with a residential proxy preset and automatically rotates sessions if one is blocked, so you don't need to configure anything.

Which countries does this Actor support? Australia (au.jora.com), New Zealand (nz.jora.com), Singapore (sg.jora.com), Hong Kong (hk.jora.com), Malaysia (my.jora.com), and Indonesia (id.jora.com).

Why is salary or job type empty for some jobs? Jora only shows a salary badge when the employer or listing source provided one, and only shows a job-type badge when it's stated. Both fields are null when Jora itself doesn't display them.

Can I use a Jora search URL I already built in my browser? Yes. Paste it into Start URL — the Actor keeps your filters and only adds pagination and the posted-date filter on top.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run this Actor daily or weekly and export new results automatically. Found a problem? Open an issue on the Issues tab.
