Why this scraper?

🏛️ France's largest job database — 961,000+ listings

France Travail is the French government's national employment agency. Every employer posting a job vacancy in France is required to register it here — giving you the most complete picture of the French labour market.

🔍 ROME code targeting

Filter by France's official occupational classification (ROME). Instead of guessing keywords, target an entire profession: all software developers (M1861), all nurses (J1303), all accountants (M1607). No other scraper on Apify supports this.

📍 Precise city + GPS radius search

Enter a city name and radius in km. The scraper resolves the city via the French government's geo API, then filters each listing by exact GPS coordinates — not just department. Lyon + 30km returns only listings physically within 30km.

🔄 Incremental mode

changedOnly: true emits only listings that are new or changed since your last run. Run daily and receive only the delta — no reprocessing of 961k records. Ideal for ATS feeds, alerting pipelines, and monitoring workflows.

📅 Server-side recency filter

publieeDepuis applies a date filter at the API level (1/3/7/14/31 days), reducing pages scanned before any post-processing. For daily feeds of new listings this cuts compute cost by 95%+ versus scanning the full index.

💰 Structured salary data

Three salary formats: salaryMin/salaryMax/salaryPeriod (structured numbers), salaryText (human-readable label), and salaryBenefits (bonus, profit sharing, transport). Salary comments auto-parsed for listings where the employer used free text.

🏷️ ROME codes + skills + formations in output

Every listing includes ROME occupational code, required competences, required formation level, languages, and driving licences — structured arrays, not just a text blob.

⚙️ No API key required

Runs without any third-party credentials. Uses France Travail's public search API.

Scheduling for daily feeds

France Travail receives tens of thousands of new listings every day. For monitoring pipelines:

1. Set publieeDepuis: 1 — filters at the API level to yesterday's listings only.
2. Set sortBy: date — most recent first.
3. Set skipReposts: true or changedOnly: true — skip anything seen in a prior run.
4. Schedule via Apify Schedules at your preferred cadence (daily, hourly).

This pattern scans only ~8,000–15,000 listings instead of 961,000 — dramatically lower compute and PPE cost.
