France Travail Scraper - French Job Listings

What does France Travail Scraper do?

France Travail Scraper extracts job listings from France Travail (formerly Pole Emploi), France's official national employment agency. The platform aggregates 700,000+ active job offers across all industries and regions in France, making it the single largest source of French employment data.

This Actor scrapes structured job data including titles, companies, salaries, locations, contract types, required skills, experience levels, and full descriptions. Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, proxy rotation, and integrations with tools like Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, and webhooks.

No login, cookies, or API keys required. The scraper works with publicly available job listings only.

Why use France Travail Scraper?

• Labor market research: Analyze job demand across French regions, industries, and skill sets
• Salary benchmarking: Compare salary ranges by role, location, and experience level
• Recruitment intelligence: Track which companies are hiring, what skills they need, and where
• Academic research: Study employment trends, regional disparities, and sector dynamics
• Job aggregation: Feed French job listings into your own job board or career platform
• Skills gap analysis: Identify which competencies employers demand most frequently

France Travail is a government platform, so data tends to be well-structured, comprehensive, and covers the full French labor market including positions that never appear on commercial job boards.
