Job Postings Scraper — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee

Scrape live job postings straight from company career boards — via each ATS provider's stable, public JSON API. Not LinkedIn HTML that breaks every month. One unified schema across all five providers.

Built for: recruiting intelligence, hiring-signal lead generation ("who is hiring SDRs right now?"), job aggregators, market/comp research.

Why this scraper

LinkedIn and Indeed scrapers are the lowest-rated job actors on the store — they fight anti-bot walls and silently miss records, apply URLs, and fields. This actor goes to the source: the ATS boards companies actually publish to. Those JSON endpoints are versioned public APIs that have been stable for years.

• Five ATS providers, one schema. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee.
• Apply URL always included — it's the canonical posting URL from the ATS itself.
• Compensation captured where published (Lever salary ranges, Ashby compensation tiers).
• No proxies needed, no anti-bot roulette — near-100% success rate by construction.
• Per-board run summary (RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store) tells you exactly which boards succeeded, how many jobs each returned, and any errors. No silent failures.
• robots.txt respected. SmartRecruiters is intentionally not supported — its robots.txt blocks all crawlers except LinkedInBot, so we leave it alone.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
boardUrls	array	—	Career board URLs, one per company (see formats below). Shorthand provider:company also works.
includeDescription	boolean	true	Full plain-text description per posting.
maxJobsPerBoard	integer	500	Safety cap per company.

Supported URL formats:

https://boards.greenhouse.io/<company>      or  greenhouse:<company>
https://jobs.lever.co/<company>             or  lever:<company>
https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/<company>          or  ashby:<company>
https://apply.workable.com/<company>        or  workable:<company>
https://<company>.recruitee.com             or  recruitee:<company>

{
    "boardUrls": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab", "lever:spotify", "ashby:openai"],
    "includeDescription": true
}

Output schema

One dataset item per job posting:

{
    "source": "lever",
    "company": "spotify",
    "companyName": null,
    "id": "5c2a4bb4-cb46-4c39-...",
    "title": "Backend Engineer, Podcast Platform",
    "url": "https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/5c2a4bb4-...",
    "location": "Stockholm, Sweden",
    "secondaryLocations": ["London, UK"],
    "remote": false,
    "department": "Engineering",
    "team": "Podcast Mission",
    "employmentType": "Full-time",
    "compensation": "90000-120000 EUR per-year-salary",
    "publishedAt": "2026-06-12T09:31:00.000Z",
    "updatedAt": null,
    "description": "Spotify is looking for ... (plain text)",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-04T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields that a provider does not publish are null — never guessed. remote is true/false when the ATS states it, null when unknown.

Pricing

Pay per result. 1 result = 1 job posting.

Jobs	Cost at $1.00 / 1,000
1,000	$1.00
25,000	$25.00
100,000	$100.00

Compare: LinkedIn job actors run $29.99/month rental plus usage — and miss apply URLs.

Finding boards to scrape

Any company careers page that redirects to boards.greenhouse.io/..., jobs.lever.co/..., jobs.ashbyhq.com/..., apply.workable.com/... or *.recruitee.com works. Paste the URL as-is.

Compliance & fair use

These are public, unauthenticated JSON APIs that the providers publish precisely so postings can be syndicated. No login walls, no rate-limit evasion — requests are throttled to one per domain per second and retried politely on transient failures.

Why no SmartRecruiters or LinkedIn/Indeed. SmartRecruiters' robots.txt disallows every crawler except LinkedInBot from the entire site — so we don't scrape it. LinkedIn and Indeed are excluded by design; see the FAQ.

Using from API / MCP / AI agents

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<ACTOR_ID>/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "boardUrls": ["greenhouse:gitlab"], "includeDescription": false }'

Works out of the box with the Apify MCP server — the input schema is fully described, so AI agents can call it as a tool ("get all open jobs at company X").

FAQ

A board returned zero jobs — why? Check RUN_SUMMARY in the run's key-value store: either the company slug is wrong (typo, renamed board) or the board is empty. The error string is recorded per board.

Can you add Indeed/LinkedIn? No — by design. This actor only uses stable ATS APIs; that is why it doesn't break.

Another ATS you need? Open an issue — adding a provider with a public board API typically ships within a week (as long as its robots.txt allows it).

What about SmartRecruiters? Not supported. Its robots.txt disallows every crawler except LinkedInBot. We won't spoof a user agent to get around that.
