BestJobs Scraper: Romanian jobs with posted salaries

Scrape BestJobs.eu, a Romanian job board, by keyword, town, job domain or remote: title, employer, town, posted salary with its currency and period, full or part time, remote or hybrid, career level, spoken languages with their level, vacancies, views, applications received, the employer's own apply link when there is one, and the full description. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

USD 0.79 per 1,000 jobs. No login, no browser.

What you get

• Posted salary and the site's estimate kept apart. When an employer keeps the salary confidential, BestJobs shows its own estimate instead ("Salarii pe poziții similare", "Estimare"). The estimate never goes into the salary fields: it stays as text in extra.salaryEstimate, and extra.salaryConfidential marks the hidden salaries. In our 20-job test, 10 jobs had a posted salary, 8 only the estimate and 2 neither.
• Currency and period from the job page: "4500 - 6500 €/luna" is 4,500 to 6,500 EUR per MONTH. The list card prints the numbers without currency or period, and with job pages off they are left that way, never guessed.
• Exact keyword match (optional). BestJobs matches keywords loosely ("python" also returns remote jobs that only share other words). Switch it on to save only jobs whose title or description contains every word; the others are not saved and not charged.
• Fields from the job page: spoken languages with level, vacancies, views, applications received, remote or hybrid, the minimum-education line.
• BestJobs' own filters as input: keyword, town, one of 24 job domains, remote only, or pasted search URLs.

Input examples

{ "keywords": ["contabil"], "location": "Cluj-Napoca", "maxJobs": 200 }

Remote Python jobs that really name Python, new ones only (daily schedule):

{ "keywords": ["python"], "remoteOnly": true, "exactKeywordMatch": true, "onlyNewJobs": true }

Good to know

• No posting date. BestJobs prints no posting or end date, so datePosted and validThrough stay empty and "Posted within (days)" cannot filter this board. To get only fresh jobs, schedule the Actor with "Only new jobs" on: it remembers the jobs already delivered.
• Results come in BestJobs' own order, not by date, and the order seems to depend partly on where the request comes from.
• Job pages are about 0.4 MB each, so 1,000 jobs with full details take about 25 minutes. A list-only run reads one page per 24 jobs and has no description, currency or period.
• A job domain cannot be combined with keywords (the site reads the domain as a keyword); a town and a domain can.
• Confidential employers have no company name (4 of 20 jobs in our test). Not given: posting and end dates, postal code, category, company page. The skills and benefits fields were empty on every job we read.

Who uses it

• Recruiters and staffing firms in Romania: new jobs by role and town every day, with the number of applications as a sign of competition.
• Pay research: salaries that employers posted, in EUR or RON, without the site's estimates mixed in.

Output: one row per job

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

Field	What it holds
jobId	The board's own job id
title, company	Job title and hiring company (as the board shows them)
companyUrl, companyLogoUrl	Company page and logo on the board, when given
location, city, region, postalCode, country	Location as shown, and its parts; country is an ISO code (FR, DE, US...)
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)
employmentType, employmentTypeText	FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, TEMPORARY, INTERN, APPRENTICE, CONTRACTOR, FREELANCE..., and the board's own wording
experienceLevel, category, skills	When the board gives them
datePosted, validThrough	ISO 8601 dates
descriptionText, descriptionHtml	Full description as plain text and as HTML
applyUrl, jobUrl	Where to apply, and the job's page on the board
sourceBoard, searchLabel, scrapedAt	Which board, which of your searches found it, when
duplicateKey	The same key for the same ad posted on several boards (or reposted): title without (m/w/d) or H/F tags, company without legal form, city, country. Use it to merge results from several of our board Actors
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 0.79 per 1,000 jobs (USD 0.00079 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~bestjobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["python"],"maxJobs":20}'

Python: ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN").actor("usefulapi/bestjobs-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.
