DOU.ua Job Scraper

Extract IT job listings from jobs.dou.ua — Ukraine's largest tech job board — 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 Ukraine's tech market

A dedicated scraper for jobs.dou.ua, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Category, city and experience filters map directly to the source's own search.

📄 Complete job data

Job title, company, direct listing URL, publish date and a short teaser for every record. Turn on full details to add the complete job description in HTML, plain text and Markdown.

💶 Structured salary

Where the employer publishes a salary, it is parsed into minimum, maximum and currency (USD, EUR or UAH). Missing salaries are returned as null, never guessed.

🏢 Company context

Hiring company name, company page URL and — with full details on — the company's own profile blurb from the vacancy page.

🔁 Change tracking

Every record carries a changeStatus (NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED) and a contentHash, so scheduled runs show you exactly what changed since last time.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	"developer"	Keyword to filter by. Searches job title and description. Example: "Python", "senior QA".
category	string	(empty)	Job category, e.g. Python, QA, DevOps, Front End. Leave empty for all categories.
city	string	(empty)	City filter. Examples: "Київ", "Львів", "Харків", "Одеса". DOU has no dedicated remote filter — leave city empty and use the isRemote field in the results.

daysOld	integer	0	Only return listings posted within the last N days. 0 returns all listings.

maxItems	integer	5	Maximum number of listings to return. Set to 0 for no limit (scrapes all matching results).

1,000	~$1.50
10,000	~$15.00
100,000	~$150.00

Performance

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

Full details (fetchDetails: true) fetch one extra page per listing, so larger runs take longer.

---

Known limitations

• Salary is only returned when the employer publishes it — many listings carry null salary fields.
• The full job description and company profile blurb require fetchDetails: true; without it those fields are null.
• DOU has no server-side remote or date filter, so remote detection and daysOld are applied from the scraped data.
• Listings can be removed by the source at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

---

• Source: jobs.dou.ua — Ukraine IT job listings
• Push notifications: get new results delivered to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or any webhook the moment a scheduled run finds them
