Bayt.com Jobs Scraper

Extract job listings — with the complete job description — from Bayt.com, the largest job site in the Middle East. Search by keyword and city across 25 countries (or search all of them at once), or look up specific jobs directly.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key. Point it at a keyword and run.
• 25 countries from one actor, plus an "International" option that searches all of them at once — the data comes back in the same shape every time.
• Full job ads, not just cards. Every row can carry the complete description, the exact salary range, employer identity and logo, posting and expiry dates, experience and education requirements.
• Listing-card fields for free, even without fetching the full ad: an AI-written summary, salary text, career level, years of experience, and the posting date as both a relative label ("22 hours ago") and an exact timestamp.
• Direct job lookup. Already have job URLs or IDs? Feed them in and skip search entirely — useful for re-checking whether a role is still open.
• Stable JSON for pipelines. Every input always produces at least one row, including a labelled row when something goes wrong, so joins downstream never silently lose records. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

How it works

1. You choose a country and give it search keywords (and optionally a city), or a list of job URLs.
2. The actor runs each keyword as its own search and pages through the results until it hits your item cap or the listings run out.
3. If full descriptions are enabled, it then fetches the complete ad for every job it found.
4. Each job is written to the dataset as one row, together with a summary row per search telling you how many matches the site reported.

Retries and back-off are handled for you. There are no scrapers or blocks to babysit.

Input

{
  "country": "uae",
  "keywords": ["accountant"],
  "location": "Dubai",
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 100,
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 4
}

Field	Type	Description
country	string	Country to search, e.g. uae, saudi-arabia, egypt — or international to search all countries at once. Default uae.
keywords	array	One search per entry. Leave empty to browse everything in the country.
location	string	Optional city filter, e.g. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh. Has no effect when country is international.
jobUrls	array	Scrape specific ads directly — a full job URL or a bare numeric job ID. Can be combined with a keyword search.
maxItemsPerQuery	integer	Stop each search after this many jobs. 0 = unlimited. Default 100.
includeJobDetails	boolean	Fetch the full description for every result. Turn off for a fast listing-only crawl. Default true.
remoteOnly	boolean	Only return remote-work listings. Default false.
maxConcurrency	integer	Requests in flight at once. Default 4.
proxyConfiguration	object	Residential by default and recommended — the site is noticeably stricter with shared platform IPs than with an ordinary connection.

SEARCH_SUMMARY

{
  "_input": "uae | keyword='accountant' | location='Dubai'",
  "recordType": "SEARCH_SUMMARY",
  "country": "uae",
  "countryName": "United Arab Emirates",
  "totalCount": 160,
  "returnedCount": 8,
  "pagesFetched": 1,
  "locationApplied": true,
  "requestParams": { "page": "1" }
}

Field	Type	Description
totalCount	integer	How many matches the site reports for this search.
returnedCount	integer	How many jobs this run actually collected.
pagesFetched	integer	How many result pages were read.
locationApplied	boolean	Whether your location was actually used. Always false when country is international — pick a specific country to filter by city.

ERROR

One row per input that could not be processed, so nothing disappears silently: _error is one of invalid_input, not_found, detail_fetch_failed, fetch_failed, unexpected_shape, upstream_error, and _errorDetail explains it in plain text.

Notes and limits

• totalCount is approximate. The site states it in a sentence, not a structured field, so treat it as a headline figure — returnedCount is the number to trust for what this run actually collected.
• Location only works within a specific country. Set country to a real country and check locationApplied on the summary row to confirm your city filter was used.
• Speed. Listing-only runs are fast (30 jobs per request). Turning on full descriptions adds one request per job — raise maxConcurrency for large runs, and lower it if the log starts showing retries.
• Residential proxy is used by default and is the reliable setting — the site is noticeably stricter with shared platform IPs than with an ordinary connection, and Residential is what recovers from that automatically. Only turn it off if you know what you're doing.
