Rigzone Jobs Scraper: oil, gas and energy jobs

Scrape Rigzone, the job board for the oil, gas and energy industry, by keyword, location, category, employment type, experience and company. Every job comes with the title, employer, location, years of experience, Rigzone skills, posted date and job URL. With full job details on (the default) you also get the full description, employment type, education, postal code, coordinates and the employer's own requisition ID. No login, no cookies, no Rigzone account.

What you get

Job	Title, job URL, posted date (with time when details are on), closing date when the posting has a real one
Employer	Company name, logo, Featured Employer flag
Location	Location as shown, city, state, postal code, country, latitude and longitude
Requirements	Years of experience, education, Rigzone skills / job functions (e.g. "Drilling Engineering", "MWD / LWD")
Employment	Full time, contractor, part time, rotational
Description	The full description as text and HTML, and the listing extract
Reference	The employer's own job / requisition ID (e.g. Baker Hughes R168912)

How to use it

1. Enter one or more keywords, e.g. drilling engineer, offshore, HSE, subsea.
2. Optionally enter a location such as Houston, Aberdeen, Norway or Abu Dhabi (add more under More locations), and a radius. Leave it empty to search worldwide.
3. Optionally narrow by category, employment type, minimum years of experience, companies or skill, set Max jobs, and run.

Each keyword is searched in each location (and for each company). Max jobs is the total for the run, shared fairly between your searches.

Input examples

Drilling jobs around Houston:

{
  "keywords": ["drilling"],
  "location": "Houston",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Every open job at two employers, listing data only (cheaper and faster):

{
  "companies": ["Baker Hughes", "Halliburton"],
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Rotational contractor jobs in Health, Safety & Environment with 5+ years of experience:

{
  "category": "11",
  "employmentType": "6",
  "minExperience": 5,
  "maxItems": 50
}

You can also paste Rigzone search URLs (https://www.rigzone.com/oil/jobs/search/?sk=…, filters in the URL are kept) or job URLs (https://www.rigzone.com/oil/jobs/postings/1292940_…) into Rigzone URLs.

FAQ

Do I need a Rigzone account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public job search and job pages any visitor sees. It never logs in and never applies to jobs (Rigzone's Apply button needs an account, so no apply link is collected).

How many jobs can I get? Everything Rigzone lists for your search. Set Max jobs to 0 to get all of it (Rigzone has around 2,500 open jobs in total).

How fast is it? About 20 jobs every 3 seconds with listing data only, and about 1 job a second with full details.

Why are there no jobs for my location? Rigzone returns nothing for a place it doesn't know. Try a city, state or country name, e.g. Aberdeen or Norway, and a bigger radius. Only the search is charged, not jobs.

Which companies can I filter by? Any company name as Rigzone shows it, e.g. Baker Hughes, Halliburton, SBM Offshore, NES Fircroft. Each company is searched separately.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If Rigzone refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay per job saved, a small amount per job with full details, per search, and a small fee per run. See the Pricing tab.

Is it legal to scrape Rigzone? This Actor only collects publicly available data: job postings that anyone can see on Rigzone without an account, such as the job title, employer, location, requirements and description. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Job postings describe roles, not people; the scraper never collects recruiter contact names and masks personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers in descriptions. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as Rigzone's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages Rigzone shows to any visitor without logging in. It never logs in, never applies to jobs, never opens CVs or member profiles, and follows Rigzone's robots.txt.
