CWJobs Jobs Scraper

🚀 CWJobs Jobs Scraper

Extract IT and tech job listings from CWJobs.co.uk, the UK's specialist board for technology jobs. The CWJobs Jobs Scraper turns any keyword, location or CWJobs search URL into structured job data: title, company, location, posting and expiry dates, the salary or day rate as advertised plus a parsed min/max and pay period, and optionally the full job description and employer profile.

✨ Features

• 💼 Complete job data: title, company, location and postcode, posting date, expiry date, labels (Featured, New), snippet and job URL for every result.
• 💷 Salaries you can filter on: the employer's salary text (£450 - £550 per day Outside IR35, £60,000 - £70,000 per annum) plus salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod (year, month, week, day, hour).
• 📝 Full descriptions: turn on details to get the whole job ad as clean text, contract type (permanent, contract, freelance), employment type, industry and the employer's address, size and sector.
• 🔍 Search or paste URLs: use keyword + location, or paste any CWJobs search page with its filters (radius, salary or day rate, job type), a company's jobs page, or single job URLs. A pasted page 3 starts at page 3.
• 🆕 New jobs only: schedule the scraper and receive only the jobs posted since the previous run.
• 📚 No page limit: export thousands of jobs from one search; every job is saved once, even across overlapping searches.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Describe the search – enter a job title or keyword and a UK town, city, county or postcode, or paste CWJobs URLs.
2. Choose the depth – keep it fast with listings only, or enable Scrape full job details for descriptions and employer profiles.
3. Run the scraper – download the jobs as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API. Enable Only new jobs since the last run on a schedule to build a job alert feed.

⚙️ Input

Field	Description
Job title or keyword	What to search for, e.g. java developer, devops engineer, data engineer.
Location	Town, city, county or postcode in the UK, e.g. London, Manchester, SW1A. Empty = all UK.
Date posted	Any time, last 24 hours, 3, 7 or 14 days.
Sort by	Relevance or newest first.
CWJobs URLs	Optional. Search pages, company jobs pages or single job URLs. Replaces the fields above.
Scrape full job details	Adds the full description, contract type, structured salary and employer profile.
Only new jobs since the last run	For schedules: outputs only jobs posted since the previous run of the same search.
Max results	Maximum number of jobs to save (default 50).

💰 How much does it cost to scrape CWJobs?

Pay only for the jobs you get, with no monthly fee:

Event	Price	When it's charged
Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run
Job listing	$0.0015 ($1.50 per 1,000)	For every job saved from search results
Job details	$0.004 ($4 per 1,000)	Instead of the listing, for every job saved with full details

For example, 1,000 jobs cost about $1.50, or $4 with full details. A scheduled run that finds no new jobs saves nothing and costs only the start fee. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the scraper stops when it reaches it.

ℹ️ Good to Know

• Salary numbers are read from the employer's own text. "Competitive" or "Unspecified" keeps salaryText and leaves the numbers empty; "Up to £50,000" fills only salaryMax.
• CWJobs shares its job database with Totaljobs: most results link to the job's page on totaljobs.com, and sourceSite names the board the job was posted on. The scraper returns exactly what a CWJobs search shows, each job once.
• Jobs removed between the search and the detail visit are skipped and not charged. The run's status message explains any shortfall.
• This scraper covers cwjobs.co.uk (United Kingdom).

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape CWJobs? The scraper collects only publicly visible job ads. You are responsible for using the data lawfully (e.g. UK GDPR) and for respecting the site's terms.

Can I use the site's own filters? Yes. Set the filters on cwjobs.co.uk (radius, salary or day rate, job type, date posted), copy the URL of the results page and paste it into CWJobs URLs.
