Tips for Best Results

URL Patterns

• Keyword only: https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/admin
• Keyword + location: https://www.jobsite.co.uk/jobs/nurse/in-london
• All URL formats are supported when using the startUrl field

Getting More Results

• Each page contains 25 jobs — set max_pages to control how many pages are visited
• Set results_wanted to your exact target count to avoid over-collection
• For large collections (500+), use residential proxies for stability
• Set max_pages high enough for your target count. Each page usually contains 25 listings

Start Small

• Test with results_wanted: 20 first to verify the search produces relevant results
• Use startUrl with an existing Jobsite search URL to apply any advanced filters

Frequently Asked Questions

What URL formats does the scraper support?

Any standard Jobsite.co.uk search URL works, including /jobs/keyword, /jobs/keyword/in-location, and URLs with page parameters.

Can I scrape without a keyword?

Yes — use startUrl with any Jobsite.co.uk URL, or omit both keyword and location to use the default search.

How many jobs can I collect?

Jobsite.co.uk can have thousands of results per search. Set results_wanted to your target and the scraper will paginate automatically.

Why are some fields missing from results?

Fields like salary, work_from_home, labels, and top_labels are only included when the job listing provides that information. Empty fields are excluded to keep the dataset clean, but valid boolean values such as false are preserved.

What if I get blocked?

Enable Apify Proxy with residential groups in proxyConfiguration for more reliable access.

How do I schedule regular runs?

Use Apify's Scheduler to run the actor on a recurring schedule — daily, weekly, or at any interval.
