Q: Can I extract a specific job? A: Yes — use detail mode with detailSource: urls and paste the job link or numeric ID.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No jobs returned in detail mode

• Increase maxResults, or remove a very narrow city filter
• For urls mode, confirm the link contains a numeric job ID

Keyword search returns an error

• Keyword search depends on a region-restricted portal endpoint that may be temporarily unavailable; use Job details mode for the most reliable, full-coverage results

Fewer jobs than requested

• The portal may have fewer live matches than your maxResults; the run still succeeds with what's available

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
