ZipRecruiter Jobs Details Scraper

Overview

This Apify actor automates the extraction of detailed job posting data from ZipRecruiter.ie. It's built for developers, recruiters, and analysts who need to collect structured job information at scale, bypassing manual copying. The scraper handles individual job detail pages, not search result listings.

Key Features

• Automated Data Extraction: Pulls structured job details from provided URLs.
• Robust Error Handling: Includes configurable retry logic (max_retries_per_url) for failed requests.
• Proxy Support: Uses Apify Proxy, including residential proxies, to avoid detection and improve reliability. You can set the proxy country to match your target job market.
• Structured Output: Returns data in a consistent JSON format, ready for analysis or database integration.

How to Use

Configure the actor using a JSON input object. The core requirement is an array of specific ZipRecruiter.ie job detail page URLs.

Input/Output

Input Format

Provide a JSON configuration in the actor's input. Here's the structure:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  },
  "urls": [
    "https://www.ziprecruiter.ie/jobs/403037271-stores-operator-at-panelto-foods",
    "https://www.ziprecruiter.ie/jobs/search?q=a&l=Athlone%2C+County+Westmeath%2C+Ireland"
  ]
}

• max_retries_per_url: Number of retry attempts for each URL if the initial request fails.
• proxy: Configuration for Apify Proxy. Use RESIDENTIAL proxy groups and set the country code appropriately (e.g., "US", "IE").
• urls: Required. An array of direct URLs to ZipRecruiter.ie job detail pages.

Note: The scraper is designed for individual job detail pages. Search result page URLs (like the examples provided) may not yield the expected detailed output.

Output Format

The actor outputs a dataset containing structured job details for each successfully scraped URL. The exact field schema is available in the actor's documentation on Apify, but typically includes job title, company, location, description, and salary information.
