Each collected item is a separate row. input identifies the submitted value and result_type identifies the selected mode. All returned fields appear in one table; columns that do not apply to a mode can be empty.

A complete JSON result is shown for every collection mode below, in the same order as the input examples. Each example includes every field for its mode; text and lists are not shortened. Values are representative and can change.

Canada Job Bank jobs scraper — complete JSON result

{
  "result_type": "job_search",
  "input": "IT",
  "status": "success",
  "job_id": "50255123",
  "title": "infrastructure architect - information technology (IT)",
  "company": "Titan power Ltd.",
  "location": "Location Markham (ON)",
  "salary_text": "Salary $65.00 to $68.00 hourly (to be negotiated)",
  "date_posted": "September 09, 2026",
  "source": "Job Bank Job number: 3666257",
  "work_arrangement": "On site",
  "url": "https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/jobsearch/jobposting/50255123?source=searchresults"
}

Images, tags and other lists stay with their parent result instead of creating extra rows. Invalid or unavailable inputs, inputs with no results, and requests that fail after all retries produce a row with status: failed. At most one failed row is saved per input; it includes error_code and error_message explaining the outcome. A normal end of pagination after collected results does not add a failed row.

Canada Job Bank scraping use cases 🎯

Hiring activity monitoring

Run repeat collections of Canada Job Bank listings and compare vacancy titles and original links over time to identify newly advertised roles and changes in hiring activity.

Advertised compensation research

Compare the compensation published in Canada Job Bank records. Keep the original salary text, units and available pay-period context when preparing recruitment or labour-market reports.

Location-based market mapping

Group the returned Canada Job Bank records by their published location or workplace information to study where employers advertise opportunities and concentrate recruitment activity.

Recruitment data products

Use the exported public Job Bank search listings as input to spreadsheets, recruitment dashboards or employer research databases, preserving original links so analysts can review the source.

Repeatable employer research

Revisit a fixed list of public Canada Job Bank sources and compare newly returned information with earlier exports to maintain a research dataset for Canadian vacancy intelligence.

Pricing and saved-result behavior 💰

See the Actor's Pricing tab for the active pricing model and current rate. Store settings may change, so this README does not claim a fixed cost.

Under dataset-item pricing:

• Each collected item saved in the dataset is one result.
• Images, tags and other values attached to that item do not create additional rows.
• Automatic retry attempts do not create extra dataset rows.
• A saved failed row is also one billable dataset item, including invalid inputs, unavailable items, no results, or exhausted retries. At most one failed row is saved per input, including when some results were already collected.
• maxResults caps all saved rows for each input, including its failed row. Repeated copies of the same input are processed once. More inputs or a higher limit can produce more saved results.

Canada Job Bank scraper API and integrations 🔌

Replace $ACTOR_ID with the ID shown in the Actor API tab and $APIFY_TOKEN with your token.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"job_search","query":"software","location":"Toronto, ON","maxResults":10}'

Use schedules for recurring collection, webhooks for completion notifications, and Apify integrations for Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage, a CRM or your own application.

Reliability, retries, and public-data limits ⚠️

Temporary connection errors, timeouts and access restrictions are retried automatically, up to five attempts. Invalid inputs save a failed row without an HTTP request; confirmed unavailable items save a failed row without unnecessary retries. Exhausted retries also save a failed row. Results already collected remain available if a later request fails, and normal pagination completion adds no error row. Collection also stops after two consecutive fully processed pages add no new results, even if the website provides another cursor. Required detail lookups are completed before checking a page; new results reset the counter, and independent reply branches are checked separately. Failures while initializing the Actor, saving data or scheduling requests stop the run instead of being reported as a failed website result.

Search is keyword-based. Location filters and separate full job-detail extraction are not included.

Canada Job Bank controls which information is publicly available. Removed, private or restricted items may be unavailable, and optional values can be null or empty. A run can still fail if the results cannot be saved.

Frequently asked questions ❓

Does it require an account on Canada Job Bank?

No. You do not need to provide an account, password or login cookies. Only publicly available information is collected.

How does maxResults work?

It limits the number of saved results separately for every input. The minimum is 1. With maxResults set to 10, each input returns at most 10 available results.

Which inputs and filters does this Actor support?

Search is keyword-based. Location filters and separate full job-detail extraction are not included.

Can I use the results for vacancy monitoring?

Yes. Keep the original job identifiers and links when comparing repeat Canada Job Bank exports. Availability describes what the site returns at the time of collection.

Why are some fields empty?

The website may not publish that value, or the field may belong to a different collection mode. Missing values remain null or empty instead of being guessed.

Can I export the results to a spreadsheet?

Yes. Download CSV, Excel or JSON from the Apify dataset. All returned fields are included in the same results table.
