Platsbanken Scraper: Sweden Jobs & Hiring Companies

Get every open job ad in Sweden from Platsbanken, the official job board of the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen), through its open JobSearch API. About 40,000 live ads at any time, from public employers, staffing agencies and private companies, in one clean row per ad with English labels.

No personal data. Contact persons, recruiter names, emails and phone numbers are never returned, also when they are written inside the ad text. Sole traders (enskild firma), whose organisation number is the owner's personal ID number, are anonymised: no name, number, street address or logo, and the location is rounded to about 1 km. Safer for GDPR when you store, enrich or resell the data.

What you can do

• Job feeds by place and field: all IT jobs in Västra Götaland, all nursing jobs in Uppsala, every warehouse job in Göteborg published in the last 7 days.
• Hiring companies (B2B leads): switch Output to Hiring companies and get one row per employer that is hiring right now: organisation number, website, number of open ads and vacancies, occupations, municipalities and latest ad. Perfect for staffing agencies, recruitment software, HR and benefits sales.
• No 2,000 cap: the official API stops at 2,000 results per search. This Actor goes on automatically by splitting the search by publication date, so you can export all 40,000 ads.
• English labels: occupation field, county, employment type, duration, working hours and salary type in English, next to the original Swedish.
• Alerts: Only new since the last run remembers what you already received for the same search. Schedule it daily and you never pay twice for the same ad or company.
• Filters: search text, occupation field, occupation group or name (taxonomy IDs), county, municipality, employer organisation number, remote-friendly, no experience required, published in the last N days.

Fields

Ad ID and link, title, employer name, workplace, organisation number and website, sole trader flag, occupation, group and field (with English field), taxonomy ID, county, municipality, city, postcode, street, coordinates, workplace model, employment type, duration, working hours, scope (%), salary type and description, vacancies, experience, driving licence, own car, required and preferred skills and languages, education, publication date, deadline, apply link and reference, ad text, personal data flag and source.

personalDataRemoved is true when the Actor removed something personal from that ad (most often the contact persons).

Pricing

Pay per result: you pay for each ad (or company) delivered, nothing for ads already seen in alert mode.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Each ad or company returned	$0.002 ($2 per 1,000)

Limits

• Only ads that are open right now: closed ads leave the API.
• Names inside the ad text are removed with rules (known contact persons, "contact X", "X, 070..."). The rules are strict, but free text can always contain a case they miss.
• Sole traders without an organisation number are detected by their name format; a few may remain as plain company names.
• The Hiring companies list is built from the ads read (up to Maximum ads scanned).

Does it collect personal data?
