Career Site Job Listing API

What does Career Site Job Listing API do?

Career Site Job Listing API is a multi-platform career site job scraper for collecting public job listings from employer career boards powered by major applicant tracking systems. Add one or more career board URLs in startUrls, and the Actor detects the supported platform and returns clean job records with titles, companies, locations, descriptions, dates, application links, and source metadata.

Use it to build recruiting datasets, monitor competitor hiring, research labor markets, create job alerts, or feed structured job data into another application. Results are saved to an Apify dataset and can be downloaded or connected to downstream workflows.

Why use Career Site Job Listing API?

• One input format for many platforms - Collect jobs from multiple ATS providers in the same run.
• Company-specific hiring data - Start with the public career board URL for the employer you want to monitor.
• Useful normalized records - Compare job titles, locations, departments, employment types, dates, and links across different sources.
• Flexible collection limits - Control the maximum number of jobs and the page safety cap for each run.
• Duplicate-safe datasets - Repeated records are removed before they are saved.
• Automation-ready output - Use Apify schedules, webhooks, API access, and dataset exports for recurring workflows.

What data can you extract from employer career sites?

The Actor keeps non-empty fields from each public listing. Availability depends on what the employer publishes on its career board.

Field	Type	Description
job_id	String	Platform job identifier when available.
title	String	Job title.
company	String	Employer, tenant, or organization name.
location	String	Human-readable location from the listing.
city	String	City when available.
state	String	State, province, or region when available.
country	String	Country when available.
department	String	Department or function.
team	String	Team name when published.
job_type	String	Employment or contract type.
workplace_type	String	Remote, hybrid, on-site, or another workplace label when available.
remote	Boolean	Remote indicator when the source provides a clear value.
remote_type	String	Remote or workplace text when it cannot be represented as a Boolean.
date_posted	String	Posting date when available.
updated_at	String	Updated date when available.
url	String	Public job detail URL.
apply_url	String	Application URL.
description	String	Job description text when available.
platform	String	Detected ATS platform key, such as lever or workday.
source_host	String	Hostname of the public source URL.
scraped_at	String	ISO timestamp for the collection time.

Some Workday listings can also include fields such as job_family and salary when those values are published by the employer.

How to use Career Site Job Listing API

1. Open the Actor on Apify Store.
2. Add one or more supported employer career board URLs to startUrls.
3. Set results_wanted and max_pages for the size of the collection.
4. Add optional proxy settings when needed.
5. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
6. Export the results or connect the dataset to your recruiting, research, or alerting workflow.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	Array	No	["https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"]	One or more public career board URLs from supported ATS platforms.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of job records to save across the run.
max_pages	Integer	No	5	Safety cap on the number of API pages to fetch.
allow_html_detail_fallback	Boolean	No	false	Fetches public detail pages only for BreezyHR, iCIMS, and Taleo when listing data may lack descriptions.

Usage Examples

Basic single-board collection

Collect up to 20 public listings from one Lever career board:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 20
}

Multiple employer boards

Collect from several supported ATS platforms in one run and allow more pagination:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify",
    "https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb",
    "https://careers-example.icims.com/jobs/search"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 60,
  "max_pages": 8
}

Larger collection with a page cap

Increase the result limit and page safety cap for a broader collection:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://sony.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/SonyCareers"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 10
}

Detail fallback for selected platforms

Request public detail-page enrichment when BreezyHR, iCIMS, or Taleo listing data does not include a description:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://careers-example.icims.com/jobs/search"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 30,
  "allow_html_detail_fallback": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Tips for Best Results

• Use the canonical board URL - Start with the ATS-hosted career board instead of a redirect-heavy company careers page.
• Test with a small limit - Begin with results_wanted: 20 and increase the limit after reviewing the dataset.
• Increase pages gradually - Raise max_pages for larger collections, especially when the board has many listings.
• Check source availability - Missing salary, department, location, or date values usually mean the employer did not publish them.
• Keep scheduled runs consistent - Reuse the same URLs and filters when comparing hiring activity over time.
• Use proxy settings for scale - Configure Apify Proxy for larger or recurring collections when the target requires it.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review job datasets, assign research tasks, and share hiring reports.
• Airtable - Create a searchable recruiting or competitor-monitoring database.
• Slack - Send alerts when a scheduled run completes.
• Webhooks - Forward completed-run events to your own systems.
• Make or Zapier - Connect new job records to no-code workflows.
• API - Read datasets programmatically from an application or data pipeline.

Apify datasets can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect jobs from more than one ATS platform in one run?

Yes. Add multiple public career board URLs to startUrls. The Actor identifies each supported platform and combines the resulting records up to results_wanted.

Can I collect from one career board?

Yes. Add one URL as the only item in the startUrls array.

Why are some fields missing?

Some employers do not publish every job attribute. The Actor removes empty values, so a record may omit salary, team, department, dates, or detailed location when the source does not provide them.

Are duplicate listings removed?

Yes. Records are normalized and deduplicated using available platform identifiers, URLs, titles, and company values before they are saved.

Can I run the Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval for recurring hiring monitoring.

Can I export the results to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets support JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other export formats.

Is it legal to collect public job listings?

Public data collection may be subject to website terms, applicable laws, privacy requirements, and access restrictions. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully and respecting each source's rules.
