Jora Jobs Scraper

Scrapes job listings from Jora across five Asia-Pacific markets: Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.

Architecture: JSON-HTML hybrid — job card metadata extracted from server-side embedded JSON attributes (data-jd-payload, data-impression-*), full descriptions fetched from the lightweight /job/description/{id} panel endpoint (6–16 KB vs 90 KB full page). No proxy required. No browser.

Pricing: $0.89 / 1,000 results

Technical notes

• Custom proxy used — Jora blocks Apify's shared datacenter IPs. The actor uses the BUYPROXIES94952 custom US proxy pool (27 IPs) to reliably bypass this.
• No browser — pure got + cheerio. No Playwright.
• JSON-HTML hybrid — SERP card data comes from embedded data-jd-payload JSON attributes (stable, no CSS dependency). Full descriptions fetched from /job/description/{id} panel endpoint.
• Domain change (May 2026) — Jora migrated from www.jora.com.au to au.jora.com subdomain pattern across all markets.
• Panel endpoint — GET /job/description/{jobId}?sp=serp&sponsored=false&cp=1&sr=1 — no authentication, no tk token required, returns 6–16 KB HTML fragment with full description, work arrangement, company rating, and apply type.
• abstractType field — Jora uses AI (extended_llm) to rewrite some job descriptions. The abstractType field lets you distinguish original employer copy from AI-rewritten content.
• Deduplication — Job IDs tracked in-memory via Set; each listing pushed once per run.
• Rate limiting — 600 ms between SERP pages, 300 ms between panel fetches. 3-retry backoff on 429/5xx.
