JobsDB Scraper

What does JobsDB Scraper do?

JobsDB Scraper collects public job listings from JobsDB in Thailand and Hong Kong. Search by keyword and optional location, or provide a JobsDB search URL, then receive structured records with titles, companies, locations, classifications, work types, salaries, posting dates, descriptions, and direct job URLs.

Use the dataset for recruitment research, hiring intelligence, salary and role benchmarking, competitor monitoring, talent-market analysis, and job-alert workflows. Each result is saved to an Apify Dataset for preview, download, scheduled collection, or connection to another system.

Why use JobsDB Scraper?

• Thailand and Hong Kong coverage - Choose the Thailand or Hong Kong JobsDB market with the country input.
• Focused job searches - Search for roles such as software engineer, data analyst, accountant, or marketing manager, with an optional location filter.
• Recent-posting filters - Limit keyword searches to jobs posted in the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
• Recruitment-ready records - Compare employers, job classifications, work types, salary labels, locations, and posting dates.
• Description collection - Capture listing summaries and full descriptions when the source publishes them.
• Controlled result volume - Set a maximum result count and page limit for predictable runs.
• Repeatable workflows - Run the Actor on demand or schedule recurring collections for hiring reports and monitoring.
• Export-friendly data - Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or connect the dataset to webhooks and other Apify integrations.

How to scrape JobsDB data

1. Open JobsDB Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a keyword and optional location, or paste a public JobsDB search results URL into startUrl.
3. Select th for Thailand or hk for Hong Kong when using keyword and location search.
4. Choose a posting-date window and set results_wanted.
5. Start the Actor and review the dataset preview when the run finishes.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to your recruitment, reporting, or monitoring workflow.

When startUrl is provided, its search parameters and domain take precedence over the separate keyword, location, and country settings. Use a JobsDB search results URL rather than an individual job detail URL.

location	String	No	-	Optional city, region, or location filter, such as Bangkok.

Usage Examples

Basic keyword search

Collect up to 20 software engineering jobs from the Thailand JobsDB market:

{
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "country": "th",
  "results_wanted": 20
}

Location and recent-posting search

Find data analyst roles in Bangkok that were posted within the last 7 days:

{
  "keyword": "data analyst",
  "location": "Bangkok",
  "country": "th",
  "posted_date": "7d",
  "results_wanted": 40,
  "maxPagesPerList": 5
}

Pre-filtered JobsDB search URL

Reuse an existing Hong Kong JobsDB search page with its keyword and pagination settings:

{
  "startUrl": "https://hk.jobsdb.com/jobs?siteKey=HK-Main&keywords=project%20manager&page=1&pageSize=20",
  "results_wanted": 30
}

Thailand and Hong Kong URLs in one input

Provide multiple search URLs when you want to keep a reusable input format. The first non-empty URL in startUrls is used for the run:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://hk.jobsdb.com/jobs?siteKey=HK-Main&keywords=marketing",
    "https://th.jobsdb.com/jobs?siteKey=TH-Main&keywords=marketing"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 20
}

Proxy-assisted collection

Enable the Apify Proxy for repeated or higher-volume collection:

{
  "keyword": "accountant",
  "country": "hk",
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Tips for Best Results

• Test with a small limit - Start with 10 to 20 records before increasing the result count.
• Use specific keywords - Add a seniority level, skill, or role name to reduce unrelated results.
• Narrow the location - Use a city or region when you need a focused dataset.
• Choose the correct market - Set country to th or hk, or use a URL from the intended JobsDB domain.
• Use a full search URL for complex filters - A JobsDB URL can preserve search settings not represented by the simple inputs.
• Set a page cap - Use maxPagesPerList to keep scheduled runs within a predictable scope.
• Expect source-dependent fields - Salary, descriptions, classifications, and work arrangements can be missing when employers do not publish them.
• Review before automation - Check a test dataset before sending records to alerts, dashboards, or a recruiting database.
• Report changes - Public job listings can change. Use the Actor's Issues tab to report missing or unexpected data.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Apify Dataset and API - Preview records in Apify Console or retrieve them programmatically.
• Google Sheets - Review, filter, and report on job records in a spreadsheet.
• Airtable - Build a searchable hiring database with company, location, salary, and posting-date fields.
• Webhooks - Trigger downstream actions after a run completes.
• Make or Zapier - Send new job records to notifications, CRM systems, or internal tools.
