Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does IrishJobs Scraper do? **IrishJobs Scraper** extracts job listings from [IrishJobs.ie](https://www.irishjobs.ie), Ireland's leading job board with thousands of live vacancies across every sector. Give it a keyword and (optionally) a location, and it returns structured data for every matching job: title, company, salary (when disclosed), location, description snippet, posting date, expiry date, and a direct link to the advert. It reads the site's own server-rendered search data, so there is no login, no cookies, and no browser automation required. Run it on the Apify platform to get Irish job market data via API, schedule recurring scrapes, and pipe results into tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Airtable, and Slack. ### How to scrape IrishJobs data 1. Go to the IrishJobs Scraper on the Apify Store. 2. Click **Try for free** to open the actor in the Apify Console. 3. Enter a search query (e.g. "accountant", "software developer", "nurse", "project manager"). 4. Optionally enter an Irish location (e.g. "dublin", "cork", "galway", "limerick"). Leave it empty to search all of Ireland. 5. Set the maximum number of results you want (default: 100). 6. Leave the proxy configuration on IE residential (the default) for the most reliable results. 7. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish. 8. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab, or pull it via the Apify API. ### Why use IrishJobs Scraper? - **Irish salary benchmarking** — where employers disclose a salary, compare pay across roles, sectors, and cities, and track how compensation shifts over time. - **Recruitment intelligence** — see which companies are hiring, for what roles, and where. Spot hiring trends before your competitors do. - **Labour market analysis** — understand demand across sectors and counties. Which areas have the most vacancies? Which roles are in shortest supply? - **Lead generation** — find employers and recruitment agencies actively hiring to target with B2B services, tools, or staffing solutions. - **Job aggregation** — feed structured Irish listings into your own job board, career site, or candidate-alert system. - **Academic and policy research** — clean, structured data for labour economics, skills-gap studies, and workforce reports. ### About IrishJobs.ie IrishJobs.ie is one of Ireland's oldest and best-known recruitment platforms, now part of the StepStone group. It aggregates vacancies from thousands of employers and recruitment agencies across every sector — technology, healthcare, finance, accountancy, engineering, retail, hospitality, and more. Key characteristics: - **Coverage**: Nationwide Ireland, from Dublin to regional towns and counties, plus remote roles. - **Sectors**: All major industries, from Accountancy and IT to Nursing, Construction, and Sales. - **Salary data**: Many adverts show "Not Disclosed"; where a figure is given it appears as a range with a pay period (e.g. "€35,000 - €75,000 per annum"). - **Work patterns**: Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and permanent roles. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | No | Job keyword to search for. Defaults to `accountant` if empty. | | `location` | string | No | Irish location to filter by (e.g. `dublin`). Leave empty to search all of Ireland. | | `maxResults` | integer | No | Maximum number of listings to scrape. Default `100`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Apify proxy settings. Defaults to IE residential. | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "software developer", "location": "dublin", "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IE" } } ```` ### Output Each job listing is a flat JSON object with the following fields: | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `jobId` | number | `107583589` | | `jobTitle` | string | `Software Developer` | | `company` | string | `eir business talent` | | `companyUrl` | string | `https://www.irishjobs.ie/jobs/eir-business-talent?cmpId=1242855&cmp=1` | | `companyLogo` | string | `https://www.irishjobs.ie/CompanyLogos/8e3dda14-...png` | | `location` | string | `Dublin, County Dublin` | | `salary` | string | `€84,000 - €96,000 per annum` | | `remoteOption` | string | `null` | | `skills` | array | `null` | | `descriptionSnippet` | string | `eir business talent is currently seeking applicants for Software Developer...` | | `sponsored` | boolean | `false` | | `publishedDate` | string | `2026-06-24T15:01:06.343Z` | | `expiryDate` | string | `2026-07-24T22:00:00Z` | | `url` | string | `https://www.irishjobs.ie/job/software-developer/eir-business-talent-job107583589` | | `scrapedAt` | string | `2026-07-09T21:32:54.779Z` | #### Example output ```json { "jobId": 107583589, "jobTitle": "Software Developer", "company": "eir business talent", "companyUrl": "https://www.irishjobs.ie/jobs/eir-business-talent?cmpId=1242855&cmp=1", "companyLogo": "https://www.irishjobs.ie/CompanyLogos/8e3dda14-1cff-43e6-98af-17c04712ac71.png", "location": "Dublin, County Dublin", "salary": null, "remoteOption": null, "skills": null, "descriptionSnippet": "eir business talent is currently seeking applicants for Software Developer for our client based in Dublin. We require a software developer to join our dynamic team.", "sponsored": false, "publishedDate": "2026-06-24T15:01:06.343Z", "expiryDate": "2026-07-24T22:00:00Z", "url": "https://www.irishjobs.ie/job/software-developer/eir-business-talent-job107583589", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-09T21:32:54.779Z" } ``` ### Cost estimate This actor is billed on Apify's Pay Per Result model. The site's search returns 25 jobs per page, so scraping is fast and lightweight — a typical run of a few hundred listings finishes in well under a minute of compute. You pay per job returned plus a small per-run start fee, so a run that returns 500 jobs costs roughly the price of 500 results. Check the actor's pricing tab for the exact current rate. ### Limitations and known issues - **Search results only** — the actor reads the listing data embedded in the search pages (title, company, salary, location, snippet, dates, links). It does not open each advert to pull the full job description body. The `descriptionSnippet` field gives you the summary shown on the results page. - **Salary as advertised** — many Irish listings show "Not Disclosed", in which case the `salary` field is `null`. Where a figure is given, it is exactly what the employer entered (a range with a pay period). - **Sponsored jobs** — a small number of sponsored listings repeat across pages. The actor deduplicates by `jobId`, so you never get the same job twice. - **Ireland focus** — IrishJobs.ie is an Irish job board. Use IE residential proxies (the default) for the most reliable results. - **Result ceiling** — deep result sets are paginated; very large `maxResults` values will walk many pages. Keep `maxResults` reasonable for the query you actually need. ### Related scrapers - **Reed Scraper** — the UK's largest job board, with salary ranges and sectors. - **NoFluffJobs Scraper** — European tech jobs with mandatory salary ranges. - Browse the Studio AMBA profile on the Apify Store for more European job and marketplace scrapers. ### FAQ **Do I need an IrishJobs account or API key?** No. This actor reads the public search results. There is no login, no cookies, and no API key required. **Can I filter by salary, contract type, or county?** The current version filters by keyword and location. Salary, location, and posting date are returned on every result so you can filter them yourself after scraping. **Is scraping IrishJobs legal?** This actor collects publicly available job listing data. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site's terms and applicable law. Do not use it to send unsolicited communications in breach of regulations. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Job keyword to search for (e.g. 'accountant', 'software developer', 'nurse', 'project manager').
