Jobs.lu Scraper

Extract job listings from Jobs.lu, one of Luxembourg's two main commercial job boards. Luxembourg's labour market is unusually international — the country runs on cross-border commuters from France, Belgium, and Germany, and jobs.lu carries postings for all of it, in French, German, and English on the same site.

This Actor pulls job titles, employers, locations, employment types, salaries (when disclosed), posting dates, and full descriptions by reading the site's search results and job detail pages directly. No login, no cookies, no browser automation — jobs.lu is server-rendered HTML with no anti-bot protection, so runs are fast and stable.

What does Jobs.lu Scraper do?

Give it a keyword (French works best — the board is mostly French-language, e.g. comptable, commercial, informaticien) and, optionally, a location. The Actor searches jobs.lu, paginates through the results, visits each job's detail page for the full description and metadata, and returns clean, structured records you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — or pull through the Apify API into your own systems.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, monitoring, proxy rotation, and integrations (webhooks, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets) out of the box.

Why use Jobs.lu Scraper?

• A genuinely international job market. Luxembourg has one of the highest shares of cross-border and foreign workers in Europe — jobs.lu reflects that with postings in French, German, and English, and a real minority of roles based just across the border in France, Belgium, or Germany.
• Labour-market research. Track hiring demand by sector, employer, or location in a small, dense, high-income economy.
• Recruitment and sourcing. Build lead lists of Luxembourg employers actively hiring for a role.
• Salary benchmarking. Salaries are disclosed on a meaningful share of postings — useful for compensation research in a market where pay tends to run higher than neighbouring countries.
• Job aggregators. Feed a niche job site, newsletter, or Luxembourg-focused product with fresh, structured listings.
• No anti-bot headaches. The site is plain server-rendered HTML with no CAPTCHA or bot-detection layer, so runs are reliable.

How to scrape Jobs.lu data

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter a Search Query (e.g., comptable, commercial, chauffeur, informaticien). French terms return the most results — the board is mostly French-language.
3. Optionally set a Location (e.g., Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Wiltz) to narrow results to that area.
4. Set Max Results to control how many listings you want.
5. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

That's it. You can also schedule the Actor to run daily and be notified of new listings.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Keyword to search for. Defaults to comptable. French terms return the most results.
location	string	City or area (e.g., Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette). Leave empty to search all locations.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return (default 100).
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. Jobs.lu has no anti-bot protection, so Apify datacenter proxies work well.

Example input

{
  "searchQuery": "comptable",
  "location": "Luxembourg",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }

How much does it cost to scrape Jobs.lu?

The Actor reads plain server-rendered HTML pages (one listing request per 40 results, plus one detail-page request per job), so runs are cheap and predictable. A run of 100 results makes roughly 100 detail-page requests plus a handful of listing pages, and typically finishes in well under a minute. Pricing is pay per result on the Apify Store — check the pricing box on the Actor page for the current cost estimate per result.

Note on usage cost: a run's usage cost only settles once the run's status reaches SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run, or right after the actor finishes but before the run status updates, will undercount cost. Wait for SUCCEEDED before relying on the reported cost.

Limitations

• The board is mostly French-language; German and English postings exist but are a minority. Search with French keywords for the widest coverage.
• Salary is disclosed on only a fraction of postings — treat salaryRaw: null as "not disclosed," not as "no salary."
• language and locationParsed.country are detected/parsed from the page text, not exposed as structured fields by the source, so edge cases (rare non-EU location names, heavily bilingual titles) can occasionally be misclassified.
• Employment type reflects whatever combination of "Contract Type" and "Hours" the recruiter selected — Luxembourg commercial job boards skew heavily toward permanent, full-time roles.

Tips and advanced options

• Combine query + location. Both are matched as free text against jobs.lu's own search, so searchQuery: "comptable" + location: "Esch-sur-Alzette" narrows results the same way typing both into the site's search box would.
• Cross-border roles. Search without a location to catch postings based just across the border in France, Belgium, or Germany, then filter on locationParsed.country after the run.
• Fresh listings only. Sort is newest-first by default — schedule the Actor daily and de-duplicate downstream by jobId to build a rolling feed of new postings.
• Deduplication. Results are de-duplicated by job id within a run.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping Jobs.lu legal? This Actor reads publicly available job listing pages that jobs.lu serves to any visitor without a login. Use the data responsibly and in line with applicable terms and data-protection law. You are responsible for how you use the extracted data.

Do I need an account or API key? No. The Actor handles access for you. No login or cookies are required.

Why is salaryRaw null on most jobs? Most Luxembourg employers don't disclose salary in the posting itself. The Actor only fills salaryRaw when jobs.lu shows a specific figure or range.

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with your input and the run link. Custom fields or a tailored version can also be arranged.
