Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Portugal

A dedicated Portuguese scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (EUR) are tuned for emprego.sapo.pt.

📄 Complete job data

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

💶 Salary data

Salary information parsed from the listing where the employer publishes it, in EUR. Missing salaries are returned as null, never guessed.

🏢 Company details

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

📍 Precise location

City, region and country plus latitude/longitude for mapping and radius 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: emprego.sapo.pt — Portugal job listings
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
