S1jobs.com Scraper

Extract every live vacancy from s1jobs.com, Scotland's largest job board — job title, full advert text, salary band, contract type, employer, skills, map coordinates, and the advert's own apply route — a recruiter email or the employer's application link. Search by keyword, town, sector, employer or salary from plain form fields, or paste s1jobs.com links and let the run do the rest. Built for Scottish recruitment agencies, UK labour-market analysts, job-aggregator and ATS teams, and lead-generation teams targeting actively hiring employers who need a clean, structured feed of Scottish vacancies without hand-crafting search URLs or paying an enrichment vendor to guess contact details.

Why This Scraper?

• Latitude and longitude on every job collected from a search, plus a UK postcode on every enriched one — 600 out of 600 on both counts in a live test run. Plot Scottish vacancies on a map, run travel-time or radius analysis, roll up by postcode district, and join to census geographies immediately. No separate geocoding pass, no per-address geocoding bill.
• A working apply route on 599 of 600 jobs in a live test run — either applyEmail, the address the advertiser actually put on the listing (427 of 600), or applyUrl, the employer's own application page on their careers site or ATS (172 of 600). Neither is a pattern guessed by a third-party enrichment service.
• All 40 s1jobs sectors, each verified live — Accountancy, Agriculture / Fishing / Forestry, Energy / Renewables, Tech / Digital / IT, Social Care / Social Services / Housing and 35 more. 74 filter values were tested against real result counts in total, with zero dead options.
• Up to 60 fields per job, including the complete advert text — the whole job description, not a truncated preview: salary band, specialisms, skill tags, employer accreditations, the employer's own profile blurb, and the employer's internal job reference on roughly five adverts in six.
• Six role highlights the board itself flags — apprenticeships, graduate-suitable roles, immediate start, public-sector roles, accredited employers, and listings that include a video.
• Five sort orders and eleven search radii — order by newest, best match, highest salary, lowest salary, or closest first; search a single town exactly, or fan out in steps from 5 up to 50 miles around it.
• Verified duplicate-free output — s1jobs republishes roughly 109 promoted listings on every page of results, and its own result pages overlap between pages. Duplicates are removed run-wide, so you never pay twice for the same vacancy. A 155-row test run returned 155 unique job IDs.
• Whole-board coverage of ~3,100+ live Scottish vacancies — leave every field blank for a full sweep, or narrow by employer name, annual salary band, permanent/contract/temporary, full or part time, direct employer vs recruitment agency, and four working arrangements including home working.
• No URL-crafting needed, but pasted links still work — mix s1jobs search pages and individual job pages in one list; pasted job links are always processed first so a broad search can never crowd them out of your result limit.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchKeyword	string	""	Word or phrase matched against job titles, employer names and descriptions, e.g. "HGV driver". Blank collects everything matching your filters.
location	string	""	Scottish town or city, e.g. "Glasgow", "Inverness". Blank searches all of Scotland.
distanceMiles	string	""	Search radius around the town: "0" (that town only) or "5" through "50" in 5-mile steps. Only applies when a town is set.
startUrls	array	[]	Paste s1jobs.com links — search/browse pages, individual job pages, or both mixed together. When set, the keyword, place and filters are ignored because each link carries its own. Search links return the full field set; single job pages carry a slightly smaller one, because s1jobs publishes expiryDate, county, workingLocation, durationMessage and the video flags only on its search pages.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
sectors	array	[]	Restrict to any of 40 sectors, e.g. "Healthcare / Pharmaceuticals". Picking several returns jobs from any of them.
jobTypes	array	[]	"Full" or "Part". Empty includes both.
contractTypes	array	[]	"Permanent", "Temporary", "Contract". Empty includes all.
workingLocations	array	[]	"Onsite working", "Hybrid working", "Remote working", "Home working". Jobs that state no arrangement are excluded when you pick a value.
advertiserType	string	""	"Employer" for direct employers only, "Agency" for recruitment agencies only.
companyName	string	""	Restrict to one employer, spelled exactly as it appears on s1jobs.
minSalary	integer	none	Minimum advertised annual salary in GBP, e.g. 30000. Jobs without a published salary are excluded.
maxSalary	integer	none	Maximum advertised annual salary in GBP, e.g. 50000. Jobs without a published salary are excluded.
roleFlags	array	[]	Any of apprenticeship, graduate, immediate_start, is_public_sector, has_accreditation, has_video. Picking several means a job must match all of them.

Results

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
sortBy	string	"newest"	"newest", "best", "salary" (highest first), "_salary" (lowest first), or "closest" (needs a town).
includeJobDetails	boolean	true	Opens each vacancy's own page to add the UK postcode, the apply route (applyEmail or applyUrl), the employer's job reference, the employer description and accreditations. Costs no extra per job. If s1jobs is unusually slow, a job that has not answered within two and a half minutes simply keeps its standard information — the job itself is never dropped.
maxResults	integer	100	Total jobs to collect. Set to 0 to collect everything that matches (capped at 20,000 per run as a safety limit).

Output

Every job is one flat row. Fields with no value are omitted from that row, so results stay compact. The example below shows the full shape; a real row carries either applyEmail or applyUrl depending on how that employer takes applications, never both.

Tips for Best Results

• Role highlights combine with AND, not OR. Ticking apprenticeship and graduate together returned just 3 jobs across the whole board. Pick one highlight at a time unless you deliberately want a razor-thin set.
• immediate_start filters correctly even though the matching output flag stays false. The board narrows the result set server-side but never sets the field, so use the role highlight to filter and ignore isImmediateStart when analysing rows.
• "Closest first" needs a town or city to measure from. Choose it without one and the run quietly switches to newest first and says so in the log — set location to get the ordering you actually wanted.
• For scheduled runs, pair "sortBy": "newest" with a small maxResults. s1jobs has no "posted in the last X hours" filter, so newest-first with a cap of 50–100 is the cheapest way to pick up only fresh vacancies on a daily schedule.
• maxResults is a floor, never a ceiling. Results arrive 20 at a time and the final page is kept whole, so a cap of 30 gives you 40 rows. You will never receive fewer than you asked for because of trimming.
• Salary filters silently drop every job without a published salary. A large share of Scottish adverts withhold pay, so run once without minSalary/maxSalary to see how much of your target market advertises it before you filter.
• Keep includeJobDetails on unless you are in a hurry. It is what adds the apply route, the UK postcode and the employer job reference — and it does not change what you are charged, because billing is per job either way.
• Build lead lists from applyEmail and applyUrl together. About seven adverts in ten publish a recruiter email and the other three send applicants to the employer's own site, so reading only applyEmail quietly drops a third of your reachable list. The split shifts with the sector you filter on.

Pricing

From $2.50 per 1,000 results — cheaper than the alternatives on the store, with real search fields instead of hand-built URLs. Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table shows the total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.30	$0.28	$0.27	$0.25
1,000	$3.00	$2.80	$2.65	$2.50
10,000	$30.00	$28.00	$26.50	$25.00
100,000	$300.00	$280.00	$265.00	$250.00

A "result" is one unique job row in your dataset — duplicates the board repeats across pages are removed before you are billed. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
