Work.ua Scraper

Extract job listings from Work.ua — Ukraine's #1 job board with over 50,000 active vacancies. Search by keyword, city, and date range. Returns structured job data including title, company, salary, location, skills, and full description. No API key required.

Why use this scraper?

• Full-text search across 800,000+ job listings by keyword and city
• Structured salary data — parsed min/max values in UAH, with salary type (fixed, bonus, etc.)
• Skills extraction — tagged skills listed per vacancy
• Repost detection — cross-run deduplication via a 90-day ID cache prevents counting the same vacancy twice
• Date filtering — limit results to the last 1, 7, 14, or 30 days
• Verified company badge — flag vacancies from Work.ua-verified employers

Known limitations

• Work.ua uses a mobile JSON API — no browser or proxy required; this keeps costs minimal
• Salary is not displayed for all vacancies; the salaryRaw field will be null when not shown
• Phone numbers in job descriptions are partially masked by Work.ua behind a login wall
• The Ukrainian language is used in most field values (location, employment type, etc.)
• Run time scales linearly with maxItems when fetchDescription: true

---
