Disclaimer

This actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with Jobs.ch or JobCloud. All collected information comes from publicly available listings. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the collected data complies with applicable laws and regulations.

Is Web Scraping Legal?

Collecting information that is already public is generally legal. There is no single law that bans all forms of web scraping. The limits are the usual ones: do not break into accounts, do not take private or confidential data, and be careful with personal data and copyrighted works. A site's terms can also restrict how you access it. Facts such as a public name, price, or rating are not the same thing as republishing someone's article or photo.

This actor collects information from public pages. It does not log in and it does not bypass access controls.
