Jobberman Scraper: jobs in Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda

Scrape Jobberman (Nigeria) and BrighterMonday (Kenya and Uganda), which run on one job platform, from the sites' full listing sitemaps: title, employer, place, contract type, level, months of experience, education, industry, job function, pay when the page shows it (NGN, KES), full description, posted date and end date. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

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

What you get

• Every live listing, not 160. The list pages that the sites' robots.txt allows stop at page 10 (160 jobs), and keyword search is disallowed. This Actor reads the 27 job-function sitemaps instead (about 4,000 live listings on Jobberman on 18 Oct 2026).
• Free filters before any page is read: words of the job title (matched on each listing's address), "Posted within" (from the sitemap's change date) and a choice of job functions. Only jobs that pass cost anything.
• Pay only when shown: "Confidential" gives no figure and extra.salaryConfidential; a shown range comes with its currency and MONTH, and extra.salaryNegotiable when the page says "Negotiable".
• The real place from the page header ("Lagos", "Ibadan & Oyo State", "Remote (Work From Home)"), not the site's structured address, which is wrong (it gives "Nigeria" as the town).
• Level ("Mid level") with months of experience, education, industry, direct apply, immediate start, featured and anonymous-employer flags, and the site of each row in extra.site.

Good to know

• Every row needs its job page (about 0.6 MB), so there is no list-only mode; 1,000 jobs take about 25 minutes.
• Words are matched on the listing's address (for example android-developer-vdk95k), so a title shortened in the address can be missed. "Place contains" and contract types are checked on the job page: jobs they drop are not saved and not charged.
• Jobs come newest changed first (the sitemap's change date), which is close to, but not the same as, the posting date.
• BrighterMonday Uganda runs on the same platform but was not test-run when the Actor was built. Tanzania is a different site and is not covered.
• Not given: apply link (applying needs an account; extra.directApply says whether the site handles it), skills, postal code, company page. Names of the site's own staff in the page data are never read.

Who uses it

• Recruiters and HR firms in Nigeria and Kenya: new jobs by function and place every day.
• Pay research: posted monthly pay in NGN and KES by function and level.

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~jobberman-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sites":["jobberman"],"functions":["software-data"],"maxJobs":20}'

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