CVVP Latvia Scraper - NVA Employment Service Vacancies

What does CVVP Latvia Scraper do?

CVVP Latvia Scraper extracts job vacancies from CVVP (CV un Vakanču Portāls), the official job vacancy portal run by NVA (Nodarbinātības valsts aģentūra) — Latvia's national public employment service (PES). This actor collects job titles, employers, salary ranges, workplace addresses, and — optionally — the full job description text, salary type (hourly vs monthly), employment regime, workload, field of work, and the hiring contact's name, email, and phone, directly from the site's own JSON REST API. No login or cookies required.

Use it on the Apify platform to get structured Latvian labour-market data via API, schedule recurring scrapes, and integrate with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and Slack.

How to scrape Latvia job vacancy data

1. Go to the CVVP Latvia Scraper on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in the Apify Console.
3. Enter a Latvian-language job keyword (e.g. "pārdevējs", "vadītājs", "grāmatvedis") or leave it empty to browse all current active vacancies nationwide, newest first.
4. Set the maximum number of results you want.
5. Optionally toggle off "Fetch Full Description" if you only need the search-result summary (faster, fewer requests).
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

Why use CVVP Latvia Scraper?

• Recruitment and hiring — Monitor vacancies registered with Latvia's public employment service to understand hiring trends by region, occupation, and salary.
• Labor market analysis — Track which occupations and regions have the most open positions, which employers are hiring most actively, and how gross salary ranges compare across sectors.
• Lead generation — Every vacancy includes the employer name and, when enabled, a direct hiring-contact email and phone — a clean data source for B2B/recruitment outreach.
• Salary transparency data — CVVP publishes an explicit gross salary range (or single figure) for nearly every posting, parsed here into numeric salaryFrom/salaryTo fields — useful for compensation benchmarking research that most EU job boards don't expose.
• Academic and public-policy research — Gather structured Latvian labour-market data straight from the official employment service registry, including employment regime, workload, and field of work.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	String	No	Latvian-language job keyword (e.g. "pārdevējs", "vadītājs", "grāmatvedis"). Full-text matched against the vacancy title. Leave empty to browse all current active vacancies nationwide, newest first.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum number of job vacancies to scrape (default: 100, max: 15000).
fetchFullDescription	Boolean	No	Fetch the full job description text, salary type, employment regime, workload, field of work, language requirements, and hiring contact name/email/phone per vacancy (default: true, 1 extra request per job). Disable for faster, lighter runs — this only changes how complete each record is, not how many records you get.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. CVVP's job API has no anti-bot protection and isn't geo-locked, so Apify's automatic/free proxy pool is used by default — no residential proxy needed.

Output

Each result contains structured data about a single job vacancy. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Cost estimate

This actor calls CVVP's own JSON REST API directly rather than rendering pages in a browser, so it runs fast and cheap — roughly 0.2–0.5 compute units per 1,000 results with full description enabled (1 extra request per job), or about half that with fetchFullDescription off. At standard Apify pricing that's well under $0.30 per 1,000 job vacancies. As with any Apify actor, the run's usage cost only settles once the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading a mid-run/in-progress dataset understates the eventual cost.

Tips

• Use specific job keywords to get more relevant results and reduce run time.
• Leave searchQuery empty to pull the newest vacancies across all of Latvia.
• Turn off fetchFullDescription if you only need title/company/address/salary — it roughly halves the number of requests.
• Schedule recurring runs to track new vacancies daily or weekly.
• Combine with other Baltic/Nordic PES scrapers for full regional coverage of public-sector job registries.

Limitations

• The searchQuery filter matches only the vacancy title, not the full description — full-text search across the job description body is not available on this source.
• Location filtering by city/region is not exposed as an input — CVVP's own location filter resolves free text through an internal autocomplete/address-ID lookup rather than a plain query string; use the address output field to filter results client-side instead.
• Contact email/phone, salary type, and full description are only populated when fetchFullDescription is enabled, and even then some employers leave contact details or salary type blank.
• Data is scraped from the public CVVP website and may change without notice.

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape CVVP? Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted under EU law. This actor only accesses public job vacancies that require no login, via the same API the public search page uses.

How often is the data updated? The actor scrapes live data from CVVP each time it runs. Schedule it daily or weekly to track changes.

Who runs CVVP? CVVP (CV un Vakanču Portāls) is operated by NVA (Nodarbinātības valsts aģentūra), Latvia's state employment agency — the equivalent of Germany's Bundesagentur für Arbeit or France's Pôle emploi / France Travail.
