Nationale Vacaturebank Scraper - Dutch Jobs, Contact Person, Salary

Pull live Dutch vacancies from Nationale Vacaturebank, the Netherlands' largest private job board. Each record includes job title, employer, city and province with coordinates, contract type, weekly hours, education level, salary range in EUR, the full description (text, HTML and Markdown), the expiry date and the apply link. When the employer lists one, you also get the contact person (name and email), the employer website and the contact address. No login, no API key, no cookies to manage.

The sample is shortened. Real rows also carry description_full, description_html, description_md, city, street_address, contract_types, categories, industries, occupation, isco_code and the other fields from the table above.

Input

{
  "searchQueries": ["verpleegkundige", "software engineer"],
  "location": "Amsterdam",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "postedWithinDays": 7
}

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	-	Keywords in Dutch or English. Each runs as a separate search. Leave empty (with no searchUrls) to get the newest vacancies overall.
location	string	-	City filter (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, ...)
searchUrls	string[]	-	nationalevacaturebank.nl search URLs (the query and location parameters are used)
maxResults	integer	100 (20 when no keywords or URLs)	Total cap across all queries
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	100	Cap per keyword or URL. Set it below maxResults so every query gets rows.
sortBy	string	newest	newest (most recent first, right for scheduled scrapes) or distance (nearest to location)
postedWithinDays	number	-	Only jobs posted in the last N days. With newest the search stops at the first older job.
titleFilter	string	-	Comma-separated title terms (OR-match, case-insensitive). Rows that do not match are dropped before they are returned or charged.

Running with an empty input {} returns the 20 newest vacancies.

Jobs found by more than one keyword are returned once and attributed to the first keyword that found them.

Precision title filter

{
  "searchQueries": ["developer"],
  "titleFilter": "developer, engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Only jobs with "developer" or "engineer" in the title are returned.

Netherlands employment types

Nationale Vacaturebank uses Dutch contract terms, mapped to English in employment_type:

Dutch	English
Vast	permanent
Tijdelijk	temporary
Stage	internship
Freelance / ZZP	freelance
Uitzendkracht	temp_agency
Oproepkracht	on_call

The original Dutch values stay available in contract_types.

Speed and scale

A run of 100 jobs takes about a minute. A search returns up to 20 jobs per page and the platform lists thousands of vacancies per popular keyword, so use maxResults, maxResultsPerQuery and postedWithinDays to bound a run. For a daily scheduled run use sortBy: newest with postedWithinDays: 1.

Pricing

This actor uses Pay Per Event (PPE) billing:

Event	Price	Description
actor-start	$0.001	Charged once per run
job-serp-result	$0.003	Charged once per job returned

Every row includes the full description, contact person and company data.

Example cost: 1,000 jobs cost about $3.00 ($0.003 per job) plus $0.001 per run start.

Deprecation notes

• description is the same value as description_snippet. Both are emitted; description stays for backward compatibility.
• posted_at_datetime is the same value as posted_at (canonical name since 2026-09-29). Both are emitted.
• workplace_type is the same source as remote_option. Both are emitted.

Changes in version 1.5 (2026-09-29): every row includes the full description, contact person and company data, and every job is billed at a flat $0.003. The old inputs includeJobDetails, includeCompanyDetails and maxConcurrency are still accepted and ignored.

Changes in version 1.4 (2026-09-29): posted_at/posted_at_datetime now carry the exact publication timestamp instead of the date at 00:00:00Z. job_url and source_url now use the vacancy page link supplied by the platform (/vacature/{id}/{slug}), replacing the earlier /vacature/detail/{id} form. region now comes from the platform (previously a partial city lookup), and company_logo_url, workplace_type, salary_period and salary_text are filled where they were empty before.
