Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Bulgaria

A dedicated Bulgarian tech scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (BGN) are tuned for dev.bg.

📄 Complete job data

Full job title and description (HTML and Markdown), direct listing URL and publish date for every record.

🏷️ Tech stack & taxonomy

Structured tech-stack tags, job categories, seniority level and work mode (hybrid, on-site, fully-remote) parsed from dev.bg's own taxonomy.

🏢 Company details

Hiring company name plus the profile details the source publishes, such as logo and company page.

🔁 Repost & change detection

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

Known limitations

• dev.bg does not publish salary data in its listings, so this scraper does not return salary fields.
• Company name and profile URL require fetchDetails: true (one extra request per job); they are null in listing-only mode.
• 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: dev.bg — Bulgaria job listings
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
