Eluta.ca Scraper

Scrapes Canadian job listings from Eluta.ca and returns clean, structured records ready for ATS automation, AI scoring, resume matching, or a personal job feed.

For each posting you get the full job description (markdown / HTML / text), the direct employer apply URL (Workday, Greenhouse, Rippling, Deloitte's portal, etc.), and structured fields including salary when published, employment type, remote/hybrid/onsite signal, employer URL, and city/province/country. Built-in 90-day repost memory means cron jobs only pay for genuinely new postings.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	required	Job-title keywords. One paginated fetch per query.
location	string	""	City (e.g. "Toronto").
province	enum	""	Two-letter province code (ON, BC, QC …).
daysOld	integer	none	Only return jobs posted within N days.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	100	Stop after N results per query.
fetchFullDescription	bool	true	Visit each detail page to extract the full ~5k-char description and structured fields. Turn off for cheaper listing-only mode.
resolveApplyUrl	bool	true	Resolve Eluta's redirect to the real employer ATS URL.
skipReposts	bool	false	Skip jobs returned by any run in the last 90 days. Use for daily/weekly cron jobs.
useApifyProxy	bool	false	Route through Apify Proxy. Requires proxy access on your plan.
maxConcurrency	integer	3	Maximum parallel HTTP requests.

  "isRepost": false,
  "originalFirstSeen": null,
  "contentHash": "b99af4ba832dec6d",
  "source": "eluta.ca",
  "countryCode": "CA",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-14T00:02:31.725Z"
}

Use id (Eluta's stable guid) for primary deduplication and contentHash to detect when an employer edits a posting.

salary, validThrough, companyUrl, and industry are populated when the employer provides them on Eluta (typically via schema.org JSON-LD); otherwise null. remoteType is ONSITE / HYBRID / REMOTE / UNKNOWN based on a conservative heuristic over the description text.

Examples

Daily cron feed of new software roles in Toronto:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Software Developer", "Full-stack Developer"],
  "location": "Toronto",
  "province": "ON",
  "daysOld": 1,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
  "skipReposts": true
}

One-shot bulk scrape with full details:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Data Scientist"],
  "province": "ON",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 500,
  "fetchFullDescription": true,
  "resolveApplyUrl": true
}

Cheap listings-only sweep (no detail-page fetches):

{
  "searchQueries": ["Marketing Manager"],
  "location": "Vancouver",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 200,
  "fetchFullDescription": false
}

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

Event	Price	Notes
actor-start	$0.00005	Once per run.
result-listing	$0.00099	Per listing when fetchFullDescription: false.
result-full	$0.00199	Per enriched record (full description + applyUrl + structured fields).

Indicative cost: $1.99 per 1,000 enriched jobs, $0.99 per 1,000 listings-only.

Notes

• One LIST page = 10 listings (Eluta's pagination is fixed).
• Pagination stops at maxResultsPerQuery or when a result older than daysOld is found.
• descriptionSnippet is the ~500-char Eluta RSS snippet; descriptionText is the full extracted description (typical ~5,000 chars).
• For research and personal job-search use. Respect Eluta's terms of service.
