FinnNO Job Scraper

What does Finn.no Jobs Scraper do?

Finn.no Jobs Scraper is a FINN.no jobs scraper that collects structured job listings from Norway's largest online marketplace for jobs. Run it with a keyword and optional location, or provide one or more FINN.no job search URLs. The dataset includes job titles, companies, locations, employment details, dates, salary information when available, full descriptions, keywords, and direct listing URLs.

The Actor is useful for recruiters, staffing agencies, job market researchers, hiring teams, and job board operators. Export the results for analysis, lead generation, candidate sourcing, job aggregation, or scheduled monitoring.

Why use Finn.no Jobs Scraper?

• Build a structured Norwegian jobs dataset - Collect consistent records instead of copying listings manually from search pages.
• Search by role and location - Find relevant openings with queries such as utvikler, data engineer, or analytiker, then narrow results to a city or region.
• Capture useful hiring details - Get employer names, industries, job functions, employment types, deadlines, positions, salary data, and description text when published.
• Support recruitment intelligence - Compare active hiring demand, identify companies recruiting for specific skills, and track changes across repeated runs.
• Create job aggregation workflows - Send fresh FINN.no listings to an internal portal, newsletter, spreadsheet, or downstream application.
• Run on demand or on a schedule - Use Apify scheduling, dataset exports, webhooks, and API access to fit the Actor into an existing workflow.

How to scrape FINN.no job data

1. Open Finn.no Jobs Scraper on Apify.
2. Enter a keyword and optional location, or add one or more FINN.no job search URLs in startUrls.
3. Set results_wanted and, if needed, max_pages.
4. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another supported format, or connect the run to an integration.

When startUrls contains valid FINN.no job search URLs, those searches are used directly. Use keyword and location when you want the Actor to create the search from simple form inputs. A URL should point to a FINN.no job search page, not an individual job advertisement.

Usage Examples

Basic Keyword Search

Collect up to 20 developer jobs in Oslo using the simple search inputs:

{
  "keyword": "utvikler",
  "location": "Oslo",
  "results_wanted": 20
}

Start From a FINN.no Search URL

Reuse a saved FINN.no search page when it already contains the filters you need:

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.finn.no/job/search?q=ingenior&location=1.20001.20061"
    }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 50
}

Multiple Searches in One Run

Collect results for several roles or regions and save up to 100 unique listings:

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.finn.no/job/search?q=utvikler&location=1.20001.20061"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.finn.no/job/search?q=analytiker&location=1.20001.20012"
    }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 20

Tips for Best Results

• Use focused search terms - Start with a role such as utvikler, analytiker, sykepleier, or data engineer.
• Add a location - Location filtering reduces unrelated results and supports regional analysis.
• Test with a small limit - Use results_wanted: 20 before collecting a larger dataset.
• Reuse stable search URLs - Save FINN.no URLs containing the filters you want to repeat.
• Allow enough pages - Increase max_pages when the target exceeds one search page.
• Review optional fields - Salary, coordinates, deadlines, and summaries may be absent from source listings.
• Schedule repeat runs - Daily or weekly runs can monitor new listings and deadlines.
• Report source changes - Public job pages and fields can change. Use the Actor's Issues tab if output quality changes unexpectedly.
