APEC Scraper — French Executive (Cadre) Job Offers

Scrape executive and managerial job offers from APEC (Association pour l'emploi des cadres), France's dedicated job board for cadres and professionals. Search by keyword, location, and contract type, then export clean structured data with salaries, skills, and full descriptions. No login, no cookies.

Why use this actor?

APEC is where French companies post their higher-skilled roles — management, engineering, finance, IT, sales, and consulting. If you build a jobs aggregator, run salary benchmarks, track hiring demand by sector, or feed a recruitment CRM, this actor turns the APEC search into a structured feed you can query on a schedule.

It reads APEC's own JSON search API directly, so results are fast and complete: every offer already carries its title, hiring company, location, salary range, contract type, and publication date. Turn on full descriptions and each row also gets the complete job text, the required profile, the company description, and the listed skills.

How to scrape APEC data

1. Open the actor and set a Search Query in French — for example chef de projet, développeur, comptable, or commercial.
2. Optionally set a Location (city, department name, or postal-code prefix such as Paris, Lyon, 75, or 69) and a Contract Type (CDI, CDD, Interim, Freelance, Alternance).
3. Set Max Results to the number of offers you want.
4. Leave Fetch Full Descriptions on for the complete job text and skills, or turn it off for faster listing-only results.
5. Keep the French residential proxy prefill and click Start.
6. When the run finishes, export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull it from the Apify API.

The actor paginates through the APEC search results automatically until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of matching offers.

Salary parsing

APEC publishes salaries as free text (for example "35 - 45 k€ brut annuel" or "A partir de 40 k€ brut annuel"). The actor keeps the original text in salary and also parses it into salaryMin, salaryMax, and salaryPeriod where possible, converting k€ figures into full euro amounts.

Cost estimate

The search returns 100 offers per request, so listing-only runs are cheap. With Fetch Full Descriptions on, the actor makes one extra request per offer for the detail record (full description, profile, company description, skills, positions, application URL), which takes about 2-4 seconds each: 100 offers with details take roughly 5 minutes. Turn off fetchDetails when you only need titles, companies, locations, salaries, and links.

You pay the pay-per-result fee for each offer in the dataset. A run's usage cost only settles after the run SUCCEEDS.

Limitations / known issues

• Executive roles only. APEC covers cadre and professional roles. It is not a general job board — use it alongside a France Travail scraper for full-market coverage.
• Location filter is text-based. The location input matches against each offer's location text (city and department). It is not a radius search, so Paris will not automatically include the wider Île-de-France region.
• postalCode is often empty. APEC's listing gives the city and 2-digit department, not always a full 5-digit postal code, so department is more reliably populated than postalCode.
• applicationUrl is present only for external applications. Offers that are applied to through APEC's own system leave this field empty; use url in that case.
• APEC uses DataDome bot protection on its search and offer-detail APIs. The actor tries French residential proxies first and switches to an unblocking service for the rest of the run when APEC answers with a challenge, so you do not need to configure anything.
• A search with no matches succeeds with 0 results and a status message saying so. A run only fails when APEC could not be reached at all.
