Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for the Middle East & Gulf

Ten country portals (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, plus International). Search, filters and multi-currency salary parsing are tuned for Bayt.com.

📄 Complete job data

Job title, company, location, apply URL and posting date on every record. Turn on full details for the complete description in HTML, plain text and Markdown, plus skills and requirements.

💶 Structured salary

Minimum, maximum, currency (AED, SAR, KWD, QAR and more) and pay period, parsed from the listing where the employer publishes it. Missing salaries return null, never guessed.

🏢 Company & requirement fields

Company name, size, industry and profile link, plus the requirement fields the source publishes — career level, years of experience, and preferred nationality/gender where stated.

🔁 Incremental feeds

A persistent 90-day deduplication store means scheduled runs can skip jobs seen in previous runs (skipReposts) and every record is flagged with isRepost.

💰 Pricing

$0.75 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.07
1,000	~$0.75
10,000	~$7.50
100,000	~$75.00

Turning on fetchDetails adds a small premium per enriched job (an extra page fetch per listing). Leave it off for the lowest cost.

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the base rate further, down to $0.45 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the Max results cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

---

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 results	under 1 minute
1,000 results	2–4 minutes
10,000 results	20–35 minutes

Detail fetches add roughly one extra request per job, so runs with fetchDetails: true take longer.

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — most listings carry null salary fields.
• Requirement fields (years of experience, preferred nationality/gender, career level) are only present when the employer states them, so they are null on many listings.
• Company details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Results follow Bayt.com's own listing order; use Max age (days) to restrict to recent postings for scheduled feeds.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

---

Technical details

• Source: bayt.com — Middle East and Gulf region job listings across ten country portals
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
