Bayt.com Jobs Scraper

Pull job postings from Bayt.com — the Middle East's largest job board — across 11 country markets, in English or Arabic, with full descriptions, application deadlines, exact posting timestamps, and direct apply links. Every filter is applied by Bayt before results come back, so a narrower search is a cheaper search. Built for recruiters, talent-acquisition teams, job-market analysts, and HR-tech platforms who need fresh Gulf hiring data without maintaining a fragile in-house pipeline.

Why This Scraper?

• 11 country markets, down to the city — United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, plus an "International & worldwide" surface that spans them all. Narrow to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Cairo or Doha, with or without a keyword.
• Genuine Arabic coverage, not an English mirror — switch the language to Arabic and jobs come back as clean Arabic text with identical field coverage, surfacing local-language postings an English-only search never reaches.
• Five filters plus a sort order, all applied at the source — date posted (past 24 hours / 7 days / 30 days), career level, employment type, work-from-home and Easy Apply are handled by Bayt itself, and you choose whether results come back Most relevant or Most recent. Filtering cuts your bill instead of inflating it: a 254-job search drops to 14 jobs with the 24-hour filter, 29 with work-from-home, 9 with Easy Apply.
• 38 typed fields per job — 14 from the results page plus 19 more from the posting's own page (full description in HTML and plain text, application deadline, employment type, exact address, vacancy count, job category), plus 5 run-metadata fields stamped on every row.
• Exact posting timestamps, not "28 days ago" — every row carries a true ISO 8601 postedAt next to the human-readable relative date, so you can sort, diff, and de-duplicate reliably across daily runs.
• Up to 10,000 jobs per search — reaches Bayt's own per-search ceiling with clean pagination and job-ID de-duplication, so a long run never ends in repeated rows.
• Native and syndicated postings are labelled — each job tells you whether it was posted directly on Bayt or aggregated from another board, and whether you can apply in one click on Bayt or get redirected to an external careers site.
• Search links and job links in the same run — paste Bayt search URLs and individual job URLs together; both are collected, merged, and de-duplicated into one dataset.
• From $0.80 per 1,000 jobs — flat pay-per-result, no monthly rental, no per-contact surcharges, and nothing billed for rows you filtered out.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchKeyword	string	"software engineer"	Job title or keyword to search for (e.g. "accountant", "nurse", "sales manager"). Leave blank to collect every job in the selected country.
country	string	"uae"	Which Bayt.com country site to search: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, or International & worldwide.
city	string	""	Narrow the search to a single city (e.g. "Dubai", "Abu Dhabi", "Riyadh", "Cairo", "Doha"). Leave blank to search the whole country.
startUrls	array	[]	Paste Bayt.com job-search links or individual job links. Each link is collected as its own task and results are merged and de-duplicated. When you use this, the keyword, country and city above are ignored — the link already carries its own search.
language	string	"en"	Which language version of Bayt.com to read: English or Arabic (العربية). Arabic returns the same jobs with Arabic page content where the employer provided it.

Filters

All of these are applied by Bayt.com itself before results are returned, so narrowing here genuinely lowers how many jobs you pay for. Leave any of them blank to skip that filter.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
datePosted	string	—	Only collect jobs posted within this window: Past 24 hours, Past 7 days, or Past 30 days.
careerLevel	string	—	Only collect jobs advertised at this career level: Entry Level, Mid Career, Management, or Senior Executive. Most employers leave this blank on Bayt, so this filter can return very few jobs.
employmentType	string	—	Only collect Full time or Part time roles. Many employers leave this blank on Bayt, so this filter can return far fewer jobs than the unfiltered search.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Only collect jobs Bayt flags as remote / work from home.
easyApplyOnly	boolean	false	Only collect jobs you can apply to directly on Bayt.com, skipping listings that redirect to an external careers site.
sortBy	string	"r"	How Bayt orders the results before they are collected: Most relevant or Most recent.

Output Detail & Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
fetchJobDetails	boolean	true	Open each job to collect the complete description, application deadline, employment type, career level, company ID and exact address. Turn this off for a faster, lighter run that keeps only the summary shown in the search results. On very large runs a small number of jobs may skip the full details; those rows still arrive with everything from the search results page, and the run reports exactly how many.
maxResults	integer	50	Hard cap on how many jobs to collect. Set to 0 to collect everything that matches. Results arrive in pages of 30 and the run always keeps the whole page it is on, so the number you receive rounds up to the next multiple of 30 — ask for 1 and you get 30, ask for 50 and you get 60. Set a multiple of 30 for an exact count.

Output

Each record is one job posting with 38 typed fields:

Job Basics

Field	Type	Description

title	string	Job title as advertised.
url	string	Direct link to the job page on Bayt.com.
summary	string | null	Short snippet shown on the search results card.

Company

Field	Type	Description
companyName	string	Hiring company, or "Confidential Company" when the employer stays anonymous.
companyId	string | null	Bayt's internal company identifier. Published on most directly-posted jobs and a small share of syndicated ones. It is a different identifier from the number inside companyUrl — the two usually do not match, so join on companyUrl if you need the profile page.
companyUrl	string | null	Link to the employer's Bayt company profile. Published on directly-posted jobs; syndicated postings rarely carry one.
logoUrl	string | null	Company logo image URL.

Location & Work Setting

Field	Type	Description
city	string | null	City shown on the search results card.
country	string | null	Country shown on the search results card.
addressLocality	string | null	City as declared by the employer on the job page.
addressRegion	string | null	Region or emirate as declared by the employer.

totalJobOpenings	integer | null	Number of vacancies for this posting. Published on native postings only.

Description, Level & Pay

Field	Type	Description
description	string | null	Full job description with the employer's original HTML formatting.
descriptionText	string | null	Same description as clean plain text, ready for analysis or search indexing.
careerLevel	string | null	Entry Level, Mid Career, Management or Senior Executive. Optional — around 10% of employers fill it in.
salaryMin	number | null	Lower bound of the published salary range. Optional — Gulf employers rarely publish pay, so expect this on only a small share of rows.
salaryMax	number | null	Upper bound of the published salary range. Optional, same low publication rate.
salaryCurrency	string | null	Currency of the published range (e.g. AED, SAR). Optional.
salaryPeriod	string | null	Period the range refers to, e.g. monthly or yearly. Optional.

Run Metadata

Field	Type	Description

Detail fields (description through salaryPeriod, plus companyId, the address fields, validThrough, directApply, totalJobOpenings and jobLocationType) are populated only when fetchJobDetails is on. With it off, those columns stay empty and the run finishes several times faster.

Tips for Best Results

• Run daily monitoring with the 24-hour window — set datePosted to Past 24 hours and sortBy to Most recent, then schedule the run each morning. You get only what appeared since yesterday, so cost stays flat as the market grows.
• Split a big search by city to beat the 10,000-job ceiling — Bayt never serves more than about 10,000 jobs for a single search. A nationwide query that hits the ceiling can be reproduced in full by running it once per major city (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah…) and merging the results.
• Search in Arabic to find postings English misses — many regional employers advertise only in Arabic. Setting language to Arabic with an Arabic keyword returns a different pool of jobs, not a translation of the same one.
• Go wide with "International & worldwide" — it is by far the largest surface and pulls from every country at once. Use it for broad market studies, then re-run per country when you need clean geographic segmentation.
• Be careful with careerLevel and employmentType — most Bayt employers leave both blank, so these filters can cut a healthy result set down to a handful of jobs. Collect unfiltered and segment afterwards when you need volume.
• Turn off fetchJobDetails for reconnaissance runs — the search card alone gives you title, company, city, exact posting time, Easy Apply status and the job link. Switch details back on once you know which searches are worth the full description.
• Tune your search in the browser, then paste the link — anything you can filter on Bayt.com's own site can be dropped straight into startUrls, and you can mix search pages and individual job pages in the same run.

Pricing

From $0.80 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-job, below the usual Middle East job-data rates, with no per-contact surcharges. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.095	$0.090	$0.085	$0.080
1,000	$0.95	$0.90	$0.85	$0.80
