FINN.no Job Scraper

Pull job listings from FINN.no — Norway's dominant classifieds and job marketplace — at scale, with employer names, locations down to the county (fylke), salaries, application deadlines, contact persons, and full Norwegian job descriptions in one clean row per posting. Filter by 16 counties, 13 occupation categories, employment type, contract type, remote work, sector, and work language. Built for Norwegian recruiters, HR-tech platforms, labor-market analysts, and relocation services who need structured finn.no/job data without copy-pasting ads one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• All 16 Norwegian counties (fylke) — from Oslo and Akershus to Troms, Finnmark, and Svalbard, target one region or sweep the whole country in a single run.
• 13 occupation categories (yrkeskategori) — narrow to Nursing, Healthcare staff, Engineering, Skilled trades, Teaching, Childcare, Logistics, Management, and more without crafting search links by hand.
• Six precision filters in one actor — full-time vs. part-time, four contract types (permanent, temporary, engagement, seasonal), partial or fully remote, private vs. public sector, work language (Norwegian or English), and management-roles-only.
• Norwegian-language job descriptions, deadlines, and contacts — opt-in detail enrichment returns each ad's full description (text and HTML), application deadline, street address, and named contact person with title.
• Structured salary and open-position counts — captures the listed salary text and positions (how many seats the employer is hiring for) straight from the source ad.
• "Posted today" and newest-first sorting — surface fresh listings the moment they hit finn.no, or sort by relevance for broad market sweeps.
• Up to ~2,500 jobs per search — paginates to FINN.no's own ceiling; combine county and occupation facets to push total coverage far beyond that.
• Direct FINN.no URL replay — paste any filtered finn.no/job search you built in the browser and the scraper honors those exact filters, with automatic de-duplication across overlapping keyword searches.

Tips for Best Results

• Break the ~2,500-per-search ceiling by faceting — FINN.no caps any single search at roughly 2,500 ads. Split a broad keyword across counties or occupation categories and merge the runs to collect far more.
• Turn on fetchJobDetails for deadlines and contacts — application deadlines, full descriptions, street addresses, and named contact persons only appear when detail enrichment is enabled. It's off by default for fast scans, so flip it on whenever you need that richer data.
• Replay browser searches with startUrls — dial in the exact filters you want on finn.no, copy the URL, and paste it. The scraper honors every filter baked into the URL, which is handy for niche facets not exposed as inputs.
• Use sortBy: "published" with postedToday for daily monitors — newest-first ordering plus the "posted today" filter gives you a clean feed of fresh listings for alerting workflows.
• Target English-language roles for international hiring — set workLanguage to english to surface jobs aimed at non-Norwegian speakers, ideal for relocation and global-talent use cases.
• Combine sector and managerRole for executive search — public or private sector plus management-roles-only narrows straight to leadership openings.
• Run multiple keywords in one go — searchQueries accepts up to 50 terms; results merge and de-duplicate automatically, so synonyms like "utvikler" and "developer" won't double-count.
