CV.ee Scraper - Estonian Job Board Extractor

What does CV.ee Scraper do?

CV.ee Scraper extracts job listings from cv.ee, Estonia's #2 general job board, run by Alma Career. The scraper searches for jobs by keyword and location, then returns structured data including job titles, companies, salaries, locations, job types, categories, and full descriptions.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, proxy rotation, webhook integrations, and monitoring out of the box. No login or cookies required — all data is extracted from publicly available job listings.

Why use CV.ee Scraper?

• Market research: Analyze the Estonian job market by sector, salary ranges, and demand for specific skills.
• Recruitment intelligence: Monitor competitor hiring patterns across Estonia.
• Salary benchmarking: Collect salary data from thousands of Estonian job postings in EUR.
• Job aggregation: Feed Estonian job listings into your own job board or aggregator platform.
• Academic research: Study employment trends, skill demand, and labor market dynamics in Estonia.
• Lead generation: Identify actively hiring companies in Estonia for B2B outreach.

This is a sibling to cvkeskus-scraper (Estonia's #1 board) — the two together cover the majority of Estonian job-listing volume. cv.ee is a distinct site under a different owner (Alma Career, also behind CV.lv and CV-Online across the Baltics), with its own listings, not a mirror of cvkeskus.ee.

How to scrape CV.ee data

1. Go to the CV.ee Scraper page on Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the Actor in Apify Console.
3. Enter your search keyword (e.g. "müüja", "arendaja", or English terms like "accountant").
4. Optionally set a location (Tallinn, Tartu, Harjumaa, etc.).
5. Set the maximum number of results you want.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow via API.

That's it — no coding required. The scraper handles pagination, proxy rotation, and data extraction automatically.

Data fields

Field	Description
jobTitle	Job position title
company	Hiring company name
location	Job location — full address, town/county, or "Kaugtöö" for fully remote roles
salaryFrom / salaryTo	Salary range if disclosed by the employer (numbers, not strings) — null when not disclosed. Most Estonian listings do not publish a salary.
salaryPeriod	MONTHLY or HOURLY rate basis, when disclosed
currency	EUR when a salary is disclosed, empty string otherwise
jobType	Employment type(s), e.g. FULL_TIME, PART_TIME (with includeDetails)
category	Job category/field(s), e.g. SALES, INFORMATION_TECHNOLOGY (with includeDetails)
remoteWork	true/false/null — whether the role offers remote work
postedDate	Publication date of the listing (ISO 8601 date)
expiryDate	Expiration date of the listing (ISO 8601 date)
jobDescription	Full job description text (with includeDetails enabled). Empty when the employer published the posting as an image/flyer instead of text — a real minority of cv.ee listings do this, and there is no text to extract.
url	Direct link to the job listing
sourceId	cv.ee internal vacancy ID
scrapedAt	ISO 8601 timestamp of data collection

How much does it cost to scrape CV.ee?

This actor is priced per result plus a small per-run start fee (Pay-Per-Event), not per compute-unit — see the Pricing tab on the Store page for the exact current rate. It calls a lightweight JSON API for the listing pages and, when includeDetails is on, one additional page fetch per job for salary/description — so cost scales roughly linearly with maxResults, doubling with details on versus off. Disable includeDetails for a faster, cheaper listing-only run when you only need title, company, location and dates.

Your run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run, or a run that fails or is aborted, will undercount or show no charge for the events it would have produced.

Tips and advanced options

• Use Estonian keywords for broader results. Many listings are in Estonian only (e.g. "müüja" for salesperson, "raamatupidaja" for accountant, "arendaja" for developer).
• Enable includeDetails (default: on) to get full job descriptions, salary, job type, category and remote-work flag. Disable for faster runs when you only need basic listing data.
• Set maxResults to control costs. Start small (5–10) to verify the output, then scale up.
• Location filtering supports Estonian counties and towns: Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, Narva, Rakvere, Viljandi, Kuressaare, Haapsalu, and all 15 counties (Harjumaa, Tartumaa, Ida-Virumaa, Pärnumaa, Lääne-Virumaa, Viljandimaa, Raplamaa, Võrumaa, Valgamaa, Jõgevamaa, Järvamaa, Läänemaa, Hiiumaa, Saaremaa, Põlvamaa).
• Schedule runs to track new listings daily or weekly using Apify's built-in scheduler.
• Combine with cvkeskus-scraper to build a comprehensive Estonian job-market dataset covering both major boards.
