AppliTrack Scraper: US school district (K-12) jobs

Scrape the AppliTrack job portals (Frontline Recruiting and Hiring) of the US school districts and consortia you name: every open posting with title, district (the member district on consortium portals, with its website), school or building, position type and subcategory, posting date, closing date when it is a date, date available, pay when the district states it, the district's own extra fields and the full description. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

USD 0.49 per 1,000 jobs. No login, no browser.

What you get

• A whole district in one request, with full descriptions: the portal's job list already holds the text of every posting, so there are no job-page requests. 6 postings or 582 cost one request.
• Consortium portals: a consortium (for example greatercincinnati with 582 postings from many districts, or eup) gives the member district as company, with its website.
• Filters on the district's own fields: words in the title, category, school and, optionally, the description; Position Type categories; schools or member districts.
• Closing date only when it is a date: of 350 closing dates seen on 7 portals, 221 were words ("Until Filled", "None", "N/A"...). Those stay in extra.closingDateText.
• Pay only from the district's own words: a pay field, or a pay word in front of a dollar amount in the description ("Starting Pay $18.00/hr"). Stipends and bonuses are not taken, and the period is given only when it is written.

Which districts

There is no public list of AppliTrack districts, so you give the portal names. The short name is in the address https://www.applitrack.com/<district>/onlineapp/default.aspx; many districts link to it from their own Employment page. These answered with postings on 17 Oct 2026:

Portal	District	Postings
fcasd	Fox Chapel Area School District, PA	6
frhsd	Freehold Regional High School District, NJ	64
bns	Bettendorf Community School District, IA	28
centralreg	Central Regional School District, NJ	11
isd221	Emmett Independent School District 221, ID	9
eup	Eastern Upper Peninsula consortium, MI	64
greatercincinnati	Greater Cincinnati School Application Consortium, OH	582

A name that does not exist is reported in the run summary as "no district with this name".

Good to know

• Most postings have no pay: few districts write a pay word before a dollar amount (1 of 20 Freehold rows and 3 of 6 Fox Chapel rows in our test). "Salary - $100,000" gets no period, because none is written.
• Not given: employment type (full or part time is not a field), city, state and postal code (only the school or building name; the country is US), remote, experience, skills, an apply link (applying uses the portal's own form; jobUrl opens the posting) and a company logo.
• Districts leave postings open for a long time (postings dated 2024 and 2025 are still listed); use "Posted within (days)" to keep recent ones.
• Postings shown only to internal applicants are not public and are not read. Contact name, e-mail and phone fields are never read.
• A big consortium answer (4.6 MB for 582 postings) took 12 seconds; a single district takes a few seconds.

Who uses it

• Education staffing and substitute agencies: new postings in the districts they serve, every morning.
• K-12 hiring research: openings by position type, school and district over time.

Output: one row per job

Every Actor in this family writes the same columns, so you can merge boards in one sheet or database.

title, company	Job title and hiring company (as the board shows them)

remote, workplaceType	true/false and remote, hybrid or onsite, only when the board says so
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod, salaryText	Salary range as numbers, ISO currency, HOUR/DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR; empty when the board gives none (never guessed)

extra	A few fields only this board has

Contact email addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are removed: this Actor never collects recruiters' personal contact details.

Job alerts: only new jobs, sent where you work

1. Switch on Only new jobs since the last run and schedule the Actor (daily, hourly). It remembers the jobs it has already delivered for the same searches and filters, in a key-value store on your own account (named job-boards-seen-
2. Paste a Slack or Discord webhook (or a Zapier or Make webhook, which can email you) into Send new jobs to. After each run that found new jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links. Free: the message is never billed.

Apify's own integrations (Google Sheets, email, webhooks) work too.

Pricing

Pay per job saved: USD 0.49 per 1,000 jobs (USD 0.00049 a job), plus USD 0.002 per run start. No monthly rental, no charge for jobs skipped as duplicates, already seen or filtered out. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops just before it, keeping everything saved so far.

Use it through the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/usefulapi~applitrack-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"districts":["frhsd"],"maxJobs":20}'

Python: ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN").actor("usefulapi/applitrack-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={...}), then read the dataset items.

Good to know

• Polite by design: one request at a time per site with a pause between requests, and the site's robots.txt is followed. Runs read public job pages only: no login, no candidate profiles or CVs.
• What a run summary tells you: the OUTPUT record has jobs saved per search, jobs skipped (duplicates, seen before, too old) and why a run stopped early, if it did.
• Is it legal? The Actor reads job ads that the board publishes openly, the same pages a job seeker sees. You are responsible for how you use the data (for example, the board's terms and data protection rules in your country).
• Found a problem? Open an issue on the Issues tab: we answer quickly.
