Bayt Scraper: Middle East jobs with salaries, companies and full descriptions

Bayt Scraper collects job listings from bayt.com, the largest job board of the Middle East and North Africa, without an account, cookies or a browser. Search by keyword in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and eight more countries, narrow it down by city, date, career level, contract and employer type, or paste any bayt.com search link. Each job comes back as one clean row: title, company with size and industry, city and country, contract, experience, education, salary range when the employer publishes it, skills, preferred candidate profile, posted and closing dates, and the full description in text and HTML.

It is used for salary and hiring research in the Gulf, for job aggregators and alert services, for recruitment agencies watching which companies are hiring, and for labor market dashboards across the GCC and North Africa.

At a glance

What	Price
Job delivered	US$ 1.00 per 1,000 jobs (US$ 0.001 each)
Run start	US$ 0.005 per run

• 500 accountant jobs in the UAE with full details = US$ 0.505.
• Error rows, duplicates and jobs skipped by onlyNew are never charged. maxItems is a hard cap, and a spending limit set on the run stops it cleanly with everything delivered so far.
• Runs on the Apify datacenter proxy, which bayt.com accepts. No residential proxy cost in the normal case.

Quick start

{
  "searchQueries": ["accountant"],
  "country": "uae",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Sales jobs in two Saudi cities, full time, posted in the last 30 days:

{
  "searchQueries": ["sales"],
  "country": "saudi-arabia",
  "cities": ["Riyadh", "Jeddah"],
  "postedWithin": "30d",
  "employmentTypes": ["Full time"],
  "maxItems": 200
}

A search link copied from the site, used as it is (every filter in the link is kept):

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.bayt.com/en/qatar/jobs/civil-engineer-jobs/"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Single job pages work too: paste links like https://www.bayt.com/en/uae/jobs/<job-title>-<id>/.

Input

Field	What it does
searchQueries	Job titles or keywords, one per line. Each keyword is one search. Empty with no links = every job of the country (or city).
country	UAE by default. Also Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Pakistan, India, or international for all countries at once.
cities	Optional cities inside the country, such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha or Cairo. Each city is searched for every keyword.
postedWithin	any, 24h, 7d or 30d, the site's own "Date posted" filter.
careerLevels	Student/Internship, Fresh graduate, Entry level, Mid career, Management, Director/Head, Senior executive.
employmentTypes	Full time, Part time, Contractor, Freelance, Internship, Temporary.

remoteOnly	Only jobs marked as work from home.
easyApplyOnly	Only jobs that take applications directly on bayt.com.
startUrls	bayt.com search links (with any filter set on the site) or single job links.
includeDetails	On by default: opens each job page for description, skills, salary, education, preferred candidate, company size and industry. Off: faster, search card fields only.
maxItems	Cap for the whole run, across all searches (default 50; 0 = no cap).
onlyNew	Remembers what earlier runs of the same search delivered and returns only new jobs. Built for schedules.
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter proxy by default.

Several values inside one filter add up (OR), and different filters narrow each other (AND), exactly like on the site.

Company names keep the language the employer used (Arabic names stay in Arabic). Job texts come in English when bayt.com offers the English version.

Errors you may see

Error rows have type: "error", an errorCode and a plain message. They are never charged.

errorCode	Meaning	What to do
INVALID_INPUT	A filter value is not one of the allowed options	Use the options listed in the input form
INVALID_URL	The link is not a bayt.com search or job link	Copy the link from the address bar on bayt.com
NO_RESULTS	bayt.com has no job for that search and filters	Use fewer filters, another country or a broader keyword
NOT_FOUND	A job link is no longer online	Jobs close; search again for current ones
BLOCKED	bayt.com refused every attempt for a search	Run again in a few minutes
UNEXPECTED	Anything else; the run still ends cleanly	Run again; if it repeats, open an issue with the run link

Integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedule a daily run with onlyNew on in Apify schedules to get only the jobs posted since the last run, for alerts or a hiring tracker.
• Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read the dataset from the Apify API.
• Connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier or Google Sheets through Apify integrations, for example to post new Dubai jobs to Slack.
• AI agents: call it as a tool through the Apify MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, for example "list 100 data analyst jobs in Riyadh posted this week and summarize the salary ranges".

FAQ

Do I need a bayt.com account? No. The Actor reads the same public pages any visitor sees.

How many jobs can I get? As many as bayt.com lists for the search. A broad search such as all jobs in the UAE has thousands; the site shows 30 per page and the Actor walks the pages until the end or until maxItems.

How fast is it? About 50 jobs with full details in 10 to 15 seconds in our tests. With includeDetails off it is several times faster, since one page brings 30 jobs.

Why is the salary empty on some jobs? Many employers in the region do not publish a salary. When bayt.com shows a range, it is in salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod.

Can I search in Arabic? Yes, Arabic keywords work. Results come from the English version of the site.

Is personal data included? No. The Actor returns job and company data only. No recruiter names, and e-mail addresses or phone numbers written inside job texts are replaced with [contact removed].

What does onlyNew remember? Job ids per search (keyword, country, city and filters), stored in a key-value store in your own Apify account. Change any filter and it counts as a new search.

Limitations

• The site shows up to about 10,000 jobs for one search; split very broad searches by city or filter.
• companySize, companyIndustry, education, openings and salary only exist when the employer fills them in.
• Jobs that bayt.com collects from other sources (isAggregated: true) have no company page and fewer details.
• cities must be spelled as on bayt.com in English (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Al Khobar...).

Changelog

• 16 Oct 2026: first version. Keyword, country, city, date, career level, contract, employer type, remote and Easy Apply filters; search and job links; full details with salary, skills and preferred candidate; onlyNew for schedules; free error rows.
