gradireland Scraper

Extract graduate job listings from gradireland.com, Ireland's official national graduate careers platform. It's the go-to destination for graduate programmes, entry-level roles and internships at employers across Ireland — from GE HealthCare to Verizon to local Irish companies.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor talks to the same public search API the gradireland.com website itself uses, so it is fast and stable.

What this actor does

Given a search keyword, this actor collects every matching graduate job listing from gradireland.com and returns one row per position with:

• Job title
• Employer name
• Location
• Full job description (HTML stripped)
• Salary range in the listing's currency (where published)
• Whether applications are currently open
• Direct application link and canonical listing URL

Why use it

• Graduate recruitment tracking — monitor which employers are hiring graduates in Ireland by keyword, sector or role.
• Careers services and student tools — feed a live graduate-jobs dataset into a university careers portal or student app.
• Market research — see which sectors and companies are most active in the Irish graduate job market.
• Aggregators — combine with general Irish job boards for full market coverage of the graduate segment specifically.

How to scrape gradireland data

1. Open the actor and set a Search Query (for example engineering, finance, marketing or software). Leave it empty to pull all current graduate job listings.
2. Set Max Results to how many listings you want.
3. Leave the proxy on the default automatic setting and click Start.

The actor pages through the gradireland.com search service (up to 100 listings per request) until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of listings, then writes everything to the dataset. You can export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Keyword to search for. Leave empty for all current graduate jobs. Default: engineering.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return. Default: 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Default: automatic (no anti-bot on this site).

Example input

{
    "searchQuery": "finance",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }

Cost estimate

This actor uses a lightweight JSON API and no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. One request returns up to 100 listings, so even a large search costs only a handful of requests. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage. Usage is only charged after a run finishes with status SUCCEEDED — a failed or aborted run doesn't bill for partial results.

Limitations

• Salary is rarely published. Most listings on gradireland.com don't disclose a salary range — minSalary/maxSalary/currency will be null for those, which is the site's own data, not a scraping gap.
• applicationUrl often points to an external ATS (the employer's own careers site or an applicant tracking system), not back to gradireland.com — this is how the platform itself routes applications.
• Only listings tagged as "Graduate job" opportunity type are included; internships and other opportunity types on the same platform are out of scope for this actor.
