Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Ukraine

A dedicated Ukrainian scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Search, locations and currency (UAH) are tuned for work.ua.

📄 Complete job data

Full job title and description (text, HTML and Markdown), direct listing URL and publish date for every record.

💶 Salary data

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

🏢 Company & location

Hiring company name, logo, company page, VIP/anonymous flags, plus structured location with street and geolocation (latitude/longitude) where available.

🏷️ Rich work.ua flags

Per-listing signals such as student-, veteran-, disability- and retiree-friendly, hybrid work, military-deferment eligibility, and above-market salary.

♻️ Incremental change tracking

Turn on incremental mode to tag every job NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED with first- and last-seen timestamps, and receive only changed listings on scheduled runs.

🤖 LLM-ready output

Compact mode returns core fields only, and you can pick a single description format (text, HTML or Markdown) or truncate it — ideal for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

🔎 Precise filtering

Filter by keyword include/exclude, date range, category, and minimum salary.

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: work.ua — Ukraine job listings
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
