Notes
VDAB operates in Dutch. Search keywords and location names should be in Dutch for best results (e.g. Gent not Ghent, Antwerpen not Antwerp). Use province to narrow results to a specific Belgian province.

Run it on a schedule
This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.
- Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
- Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
- Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.
Set it once and it runs on its own.
