It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ### MyJobMag Jobs Scraper **MyJobMag Jobs Scraper** extracts job listings from [MyJobMag](https://www.myjobmag.com/jobs) in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

[MyJobMag](https://www.myjobmag.com) is a job board with separate sites for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. When we checked in October 2026, MyJobMag's search listed **34,390 jobs in Nigeria**, **33,492 in South Africa**, and **12,035 in Kenya**. **MyJobMag Jobs Scraper** turns MyJobMag job listings into a dataset. Pick a country, add a keyword or filters, and run. It's a simple **MyJobMag API alternative**: you don't need an account, an API key, or any code. - 🌍 **Five countries.** Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and the UK, each on its own MyJobMag site. - 🔎 **Search and filters.** Keyword, location, job field, and education, combined the same way as on MyJobMag. - 🧠 **Smart filter matching.** Each country uses its own names for fields and qualifications. Type "IT" or "Bachelor" and the Actor picks the matching MyJobMag value, like "ICT / Computer" or "BA/BSc/HND". - 🛑 **No silent misses.** MyJobMag ignores filter values it doesn't know and shows all jobs instead. The Actor stops and lists the valid values, so you never pay for unfiltered results. - 📄 **Full job details.** Opens every job to get the description, qualification, experience, job type, salary range when listed, and closing date. - ✉️ **How to apply.** The application instructions plus the email addresses and links found in them. - 📅 **Scheduling and monitoring.** Run daily with [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to collect new jobs as they're posted. - 🔌 **API and integrations.** Use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), or send jobs to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack, or webhooks with [Apify integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations). ### What data can you extract from MyJobMag? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` / `listingTitle` / `pageHeader` | Job title, the title shown in search results, and the page heading | | `companyName` / `companyUrl` / `brandLogo` | Hiring company, its MyJobMag page, and logo | | `employmentType` | Full Time, Part Time, Contract, Internship, and others | | `educationRequired` / `experienceRequired` / `experienceMonths` | Qualification and experience, as listed | | `location` / `city` | State, region, or city | | `jobField` / `industry` | MyJobMag job field and company industry | | `salaryRange` | Salary, when the employer lists it | | `datePosted` / `deadline` / `validThrough` | Posting date and closing date | | `summary` / `description` | Short summary from the search results and the full description as plain text | | `companyDescription` | About the company | | `applicationMethod` / `applicationEmails` / `applicationLinks` | How to apply, with the email addresses and links in it | | `sourceUrl` / `vacancyIndex` / `vacancyCount` | Job page, and the job's position when one page lists several vacancies | | `country` / `countryName` / `scrapedAt` | Site the job came from, and when it was collected | Some fields are only filled when the job lists them, like salary, deadline, and city. ### How to scrape MyJobMag jobs 1. Open [MyJobMag Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper) on Apify Store and click **Try for free**. 2. Pick a **Country**. 3. Enter a **Keyword**, like `accountant` or `software engineer`, or leave it empty for the newest jobs. 4. Optionally add a **Location**, **Job field**, or **Education** filter. 5. Set **Max result pages** and **Max jobs**. 6. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish. 7. Download the jobs as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the **Output** tab, or read them with the API. ### How much does it cost to scrape MyJobMag? MyJobMag Jobs Scraper uses **pay-per-event** pricing. You pay for each job saved to the dataset. Compute costs are included in the event price. | Event | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | |-------|------|--------|--------|------| | `job-scraped` (per job) | $0.00099 | $0.00089 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 | | Per 1,000 jobs | **$0.99** | **$0.89** | **$0.79** | **$0.79** | For example, 100 jobs cost about $0.10 on the Free plan, and 1,000 jobs cost $0.99. You can set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console, and the Actor stops when it's reached. ### Input See the [Input tab](https://apify.com/parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper/input-schema) for the full form. | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `country` | string | No | `NG` | `NG` Nigeria, `GH` Ghana, `KE` Kenya, `ZA` South Africa, `UK` United Kingdom | | `keyword` | string | No | — | Job title, skill, or company.

Find your token in [Apify Console → Settings → Integrations](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). **Python** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={ "country": "KE", "keyword": "accountant", "location": "Nairobi", "maxResults": 200, }) for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(job["title"], job["companyName"], job["applicationEmails"]) ``` **JavaScript** ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper').call({ country: 'ZA', field: 'Banking', maxResults: 100, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((job) => console.log(job.title, job.location, job.datePosted)); ``` You can also start runs over plain HTTP from the [API tab](https://apify.com/parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper/api), or connect the Actor to AI agents through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). ### Use cases - **Job alerts and aggregators.** Collect new jobs daily and feed them to your own job site, newsletter, or Telegram or WhatsApp channel. - **Recruitment research.** See which companies are hiring for a role, in which locations, and what they ask for. - **Labour market analysis.** Track demand by job field, qualification, and experience level in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. - **Lead generation.** Find companies that are actively hiring, with their application emails and websites. - **Salary research.** Collect salary ranges where employers publish them. ### How it works 1. The Actor opens the MyJobMag site for your country and checks your location, field, and education against that site's own values. 2. It reads the search result pages and opens each job page for the full details. 3. In October 2026, MyJobMag's search returned no results on the Ghana and UK sites, even though both sites list jobs. There the Actor reads MyJobMag's category pages instead and matches your keyword and other filters against each job. Only matching jobs are saved and charged. 4. Each job is saved once per run. ### FAQ **Do I need a MyJobMag account?** No. The Actor only reads public job pages that anyone can open. **Why did my run stop with "is not a location"?** MyJobMag only filters by the locations, fields, and qualifications in its own lists, and silently shows all jobs for anything else. To avoid charging you for unfiltered jobs, the Actor stops and lists the valid values. For example, Nigeria uses states like `Lagos` and `Rivers`, so a neighbourhood like `Ikeja` isn't accepted. **How many jobs can I get?** Up to every job MyJobMag shows for your search. Set **Max result pages** and **Max jobs** to `0` for no limit. In our October 2026 test, 1,000 Nigerian jobs took about a minute and a half. **How does keyword search work in Ghana and the UK?** Because MyJobMag's own search returned nothing on those two sites in our October 2026 tests, the Actor checks each job title and summary for your keyword instead. The scan stops at **Max result pages**, so raise it to look through more jobs. **Why are some fields empty?** Employers don't always list a salary, deadline, or experience. Some older job pages also have less structured data, so `experienceMonths` and `validThrough` can be empty. **Can I schedule runs or export to Google Sheets?** Yes. Use [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) for recurring runs and [integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations) for Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack, and webhooks. **Something is missing or broken?** Open an issue on the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/parsebird/myjobmag-jobs-scraper/issues). Feedback and feature requests are welcome there too. ### Is it legal to scrape MyJobMag? The Actor collects only public job listings that MyJobMag shows to every visitor. It doesn't log in or access any account data. Job posts can include names, email addresses, and phone numbers of recruiters, so follow data protection laws like Nigeria's NDPA, Ghana's Data Protection Act, Kenya's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA, and the UK GDPR when you store or contact them.

Leave empty to get the newest jobs. ## `location` (type: `string`): State, region, or city as listed on MyJobMag for that country, like "Lagos", "Accra", "Nairobi", "Gauteng" or "London". The run stops and lists valid values if MyJobMag doesn't have it. ## `field` (type: `string`): Job field, like "ICT / Computer", "Banking" or "Medical / Healthcare". Short forms like "IT", "HR" or "engineering" are matched to MyJobMag's field names. ## `education` (type: `string`): Qualification, like "BA/BSc/HND", "Bachelors", "Masters", "OND" or "PhD". Each country uses its own names; common words like "Bachelor" are matched for you. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many search result pages (about 18 jobs each). Set 0 for no limit. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Stop after saving this many jobs. Set 0 for no limit. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): MyJobMag works without a proxy.
