Extract job listings from cv.lv at scale, in a clean, consistent structure ready for analysis, job boards, recruiting tools and market research. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Latvia

A dedicated Latvian scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (EUR) are tuned for cv.lv.

📄 Complete job data

Full job title and description, direct listing URL and publish date for every record.

📍 Location fields

Structured location data for every listing, ready for filtering and analysis.

🔁 Repost & change detection

Every record carries isRepost and changeStatus, so daily feeds return genuinely new jobs instead of reposted duplicates.

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — many listings carry null salary fields.
• Company details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

Technical details

• Source: cv.lv — Latvia job listings
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
