Coverage

Google's Jobs widget is region-restricted (disabled in the EU since 2023). Supported regions:

EU countries (DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, etc.) are not supported — Google disabled the Jobs widget in the EEA after antitrust regulations.

FAQ

Q: Why does Google Jobs scraping need Brightdata? A: Google's Jobs vertical (udm=8) ships a different consent flow than regular search and frequently rejects datacenter IPs with a "before you continue" redirect. Brightdata Scraping Browser carries the CF / consent cookies needed to render the Jobs widget.

Q: My run returned 0 jobs but succeeded — why? A: Google occasionally serves a soft-consent redirect (page title becomes the URL itself, 0 cards render). The actor detects this and (1) reloads the page, (2) reconnects to Brightdata for a fresh exit IP, retrying up to 3 times. If it still fails after that, you weren't charged for the empty run.

Q: Can I scrape EU jobs? A: No — Google disabled the Jobs vertical in the EEA in 2023 due to antitrust action. The widget simply isn't there. If you set countryCode: "de" the actor will fail gracefully.

Q: How does maxItems > 500 actually find more? A: Google caps visible results per single filter slice to ~100. To unlock more, the actor automatically expands the search matrix by iterating over datePosted (today → 3days → week → month) and jobType filters, deduplicating by jobId. Costs scale with successful extractions, not slices attempted.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Real-time from Google's index. Jobs are typically posted to Google within hours of being added to the source job board (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.).

Q: Can I get the full apply URL on LinkedIn / Greenhouse without a Google redirect? A: Yes — applyOptions[].url is the canonical destination URL (we decode Google's redirect wrapper).

Notes & limits

• EU countries are not supported (Google disabled the widget there in 2023).
• Pagination ceiling: Google caps visible results to ~100 per filter slice. maxItems > 500 triggers matrix expansion automatically.
• jobId is sourced from Google's internal identifier when available; otherwise synthesized from title|company|location for cross-run dedup.
• Apply networks detected: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, BambooHR, plus direct company career pages.
• Empty runs ($0 charged) typically mean Google flagged the IP — re-running usually succeeds.
