France Travail Scraper

What does France Travail Scraper do?

France Travail Scraper collects public job listings from France Travail, the French national employment agency formerly known as Pôle emploi. Search by keyword, location, and contract type, or provide a prepared France Travail search URL. The Actor returns structured job records with titles, employers, locations, contract details, salaries, descriptions, skills, experience requirements, and direct offer URLs.

Use the dataset for French labor market research, recruitment and sourcing, salary benchmarking, job board aggregation, career services, academic research, and recurring monitoring of new opportunities. Enable detail collection when you need the fullest record, or disable it for a faster listing-only dataset containing the information available in search results.

Why use France Travail Scraper?

• French job market coverage - Collect public offers from France Travail across cities, departments, regions, and employment sectors.
• Flexible search - Start with a keyword such as développeur web, add a location such as Paris, and optionally narrow the results by contract type.
• Detailed job records - Capture salary information, work schedule, experience, education, skills, languages, sector, employer details, and descriptions when published.
• Fast listing-only runs - Set collectDetails to false when you only need titles, employers, locations, dates, contract labels, and offer URLs.
• Controlled collection size - Set results_wanted and max_pages to control how many results the run processes.
• Automation-ready output - Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, schedule repeat runs, send webhooks, or read the dataset through the Apify API.

How to scrape France Travail jobs

1. Open France Travail Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a job keyword, location, and optional contract type, or paste a France Travail search URL into startUrl.
3. Choose whether to collect detail-page information with collectDetails.
4. Set results_wanted and max_pages for the size and scope of the run.
5. Start the Actor and review the dataset preview.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to a spreadsheet, webhook, API, or other workflow.

For generated searches, the Actor uses a 10-kilometer search radius around the supplied location. To reuse a search with filters already configured on France Travail, use startUrl. When startUrl is provided, it is used as the starting search and keyword, location, and contract inputs are not added to it.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default or prefill	Description
startUrl	String	No	None	A specific public France Travail search URL. Use this when the search page already contains the filters you need.
keyword	String	No	admin prefilled	Job title, skill, or phrase, such as développeur, comptable, or assistant administratif.
location	String	No	None	City, department, or location filter, such as Paris, Lyon, or 75 - Paris.
contractType	String	No	None	Contract filter, such as CDI, CDD, or Intérim.
collectDetails	Boolean	No	true	Visit each collected offer for additional job, employer, compensation, and requirement fields. Set to false for faster listing-only collection.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of job records to save. Must be at least 1.
max_pages	Integer	No	10	Maximum number of France Travail result pages to process. The Actor stops earlier when it reaches results_wanted or no more results are returned.

All inputs are optional. The Apify Console pre-fills keyword with admin, while the runtime also accepts an empty keyword for a broader search. The default result limit is 20. A supplied startUrl is useful for preserving the exact search filters selected on the France Travail website.

Output Data

Each successful job offer is saved as a separate dataset item. Empty or null values are omitted by default.

Field group	Main fields	Typical use
Identity	offer_id, job_title, url	Deduplication, linking, and job aggregation.
Employer	company, employer_name, employer_website, contact_email, contact_phone	Employer research and recruitment workflows.

Tips for best results

• Start with a focused query - Test one role and a small results_wanted value before collecting a larger dataset.
• Use French job terms - France Travail listings are primarily in French, so try variations such as développeur logiciel, assistant de direction, or technicien maintenance.
• Add a location for regional research - A city or department helps narrow the result set. Generated searches use a 10-kilometer radius.
• Use the contract filter carefully - Enter the contract label used by France Travail, such as CDI, CDD, or Intérim.
• Enable detail collection for enrichment - collectDetails: true is the default and is appropriate when you need salary, requirements, skills, and descriptions.
• Disable details for rapid discovery - Use collectDetails: false when titles, locations, dates, and offer URLs are enough.
• Balance limits and pages - Increase max_pages when requesting many results, but keep it close to the expected result volume for shorter runs.
• Review optional fields - Employers do not publish salary, contact details, education, or every requirement on every offer.
• Check recurring runs - Job offers can be added, updated, or removed. Review scheduled datasets and report source changes through the Actor Issues tab.

Integrations and export formats

• Google Sheets - Export job records for sorting, review, and team collaboration.
• Airtable - Create a searchable database of French job offers and employers.
• Webhooks - Notify another service when a run finishes or new results are available.
• Make or Zapier - Send matching offers to alerts, email, spreadsheets, or internal workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search France Travail by keyword and location?

Yes. Set keyword and location to create a search from the Actor inputs. The generated search uses a 10-kilometer radius around the location.

Can I use a France Travail search URL?

Yes. Set startUrl to a public France Travail search URL. This is useful when you want to preserve filters configured on the website. When it is provided, the URL is used as the search source instead of the generated keyword, location, and contract query.

Does the Actor collect full job descriptions?

Yes, when collectDetails is enabled and the source offer publishes a description. The dataset includes plain text and, when available, formatted HTML. Set collectDetails to false when you only need search-result information.

How many job offers can I collect?

The Actor collects up to the positive number set in results_wanted, subject to the matching offers available and the max_pages limit. Results are deduplicated by France Travail offer ID during a run.

Why are salary, contact, or skills fields missing?

Those fields are missing when France Travail or the employer does not publish them, or when detail collection is disabled. Empty values are omitted from the dataset by default.

Does the output include French and English fields?

The field names are in English, while many source values, descriptions, contract labels, and qualifications are in French because they come from France Travail listings.

Can I run the Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run it hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval, then connect the dataset to a webhook, spreadsheet, API, or reporting workflow.

Can I export France Travail data to CSV or Excel?

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

Is collecting France Travail job data legal?

Public job data collection may be lawful in some situations, but the rules depend on your jurisdiction and use case. You are responsible for complying with France Travail's terms, applicable privacy and data-protection requirements, access restrictions, and any laws that apply to your workflow.
