What it does

The actor searches Catho (catho.com.br) for each of your keywords or search URLs, paginates through the results, and writes one normalized record per job to the run's dataset. Each record carries the job title, hiring company (and whether it is confidential), city and state, number of vacancies, salary text, benefits count, employment type, remote flag, posted date and a normalized datePosted. With enrichDetails on, the actor opens each job's detail page to add the contract type, state, posted date and a description excerpt. Missing source values are returned as null.

Catho serves its pages behind Akamai bot protection, so this actor routes requests through country-matched Brazil residential proxies with a real browser TLS fingerprint. Optional AI add-ons (withJdSummary, withSkills, withSalaryEstimate, withTranslate) add an English summary, structured skills and seniority, a market salary estimate, and an English translation per job. They are paid add-ons, charged only when they return usable output.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns ten developer jobs with full details.

{
  "keywords": ["desenvolvedor"],
  "enrichDetails": true,
  "maxJobs": 10
}

Each keyword or URL runs as a separate search and is paginated. Add more keywords to widen the run. Turn enrichDetails off for a faster run that keeps listing fields only.

Example output record

Real record from a live run (input {"keywords":["desenvolvedor"],"maxJobs":10,"enrichDetails":true}). AI add-ons were off, so the AI fields are null; the description is trimmed with an ellipsis:

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~catho-brasil-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["analista financeiro"],"enrichDetails":true,"maxJobs":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~catho-brasil-jobs-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["desenvolvedor","home office"],"maxJobs":200}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/catho-brasil-jobs-scraper \
  --input '{"keywords":["analista de rh"],"maxJobs":50}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per job record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• AI add-ons are billed separately. withJdSummary, withSkills, withSalaryEstimate and withTranslate each charge only when they return usable output, and are available to paying users.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxJobs.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Can I search several keywords in one run? Yes. Add each keyword to keywords. You can also paste full Catho search URLs, and combine keywords and URLs.

How do I get remote jobs? Use a keyword like home office, or check the remote field in the output.

A run returned 0 records. Why? The keyword may have no live results, or Akamai briefly blocked the exit IP. The actor retries with fresh Brazil residential IPs; try again or broaden the keyword. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why are the AI fields null? They only populate when you enable the matching add-on (withJdSummary, withSkills, withSalaryEstimate, withTranslate). Otherwise they stay null.

Is this an official Catho tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Catho. It reads only data that is publicly available on Catho listings. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms and applicable data-protection law (LGPD).
