Jora Australia Job Scraper — Search Australian Jobs in Seconds

Extract job listings, salaries, company names, and full descriptions from Jora Australia — a job search engine aggregating hundreds of thousands of Australian job ads.

Note: Jora closed its New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia sites in September 2026 (they now answer HTTP 410). Only Australia is still operating, so the Actor supports au only and stops with a clear error for the closed markets.

Features

• Australia-wide — search any city, suburb, or state on au.jora.com
• Keyword + location search — find jobs by title, skill, or company name in any city or region
• Direct URL scraping — paste any Jora search or job page URL
• Salary extraction — captures salary ranges when disclosed (AUD)
• Job type detection — Full time, Part time, Contract, Casual, Temporary, Internship
• Full descriptions — optional detail mode extracts complete job descriptions with HTML formatting
• Automatic pagination — scrapes across multiple result pages until your limit is reached
• Cloudflare-aware — detects Cloudflare challenges, rotates sessions and backs off before retrying

Use Cases

• Job market research — analyze hiring trends, in-demand skills, and salary ranges across Australia
• Salary benchmarking — compare compensation for the same role across Australian cities and states
• Recruitment intelligence — monitor competitor hiring and new job openings
• Career exploration — find opportunities matching specific skills and locations
• Remote work tracking — identify companies offering flexible work arrangements
• Regional comparison — compare job markets between Australian states and cities

Tips

• Start with default mode — it's much faster and gives you all the key data. Use extractDetails: true only when you need the full description text.
• Paste filtered Jora URLs into startUrls to reuse filters set on the website (salary, job type, listed date).
• Set maxItems to control costs and run time. Each result page contains about 15 jobs.
• Keep Apify Proxy enabled — Jora is behind Cloudflare and blocks direct traffic from cloud servers. With the default Apify Proxy the Actor starts on datacenter IPs and moves any request Cloudflare keeps blocking to Australian residential IPs.

Integrate via API

The scraped data can be downloaded in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS format via the Apify API.
