Pull job postings from Workopolis at scale — titles, employers, salaries, full descriptions, employment types, work settings, posted dates, and direct apply links for every job across Canada. Search by keyword and city, or paste a Workopolis search URL and scrape it exactly as you set it up on the site. Built for recruiters, job-market researchers, and job-search platforms who need fresh Canadian hiring data without copying postings one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Every job across Canada, province or city level — search "Toronto", "Vancouver", or a whole province like "Ontario", or leave the location empty to sweep the entire country.
• Up to 2,000 jobs per keyword, many keywords per run — run 50 keywords in a single invocation; results merge into one dataset and de-duplicate by job ID so the same posting never lands twice.
• 9 employment-type filters — Full-time, Part-time, Permanent, Contract, Fixed-term, Temporary, Internship/Co-op, Casual, and Freelance.
• 3 work-setting filters — On-site, Remote, or Hybrid, so you can isolate exactly the kind of role you track.
• 5 date-posted windows — Any time, last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 14 days, or last 30 days to catch only the freshest openings.
• Structured salary, not just free text — minimum, maximum, currency, and pay period pulled from each posting and formatted into a clean salary range.
• Full job descriptions in plain text, HTML, or both — choose the format per run, with listed benefits captured alongside the description.
• Direct apply links on every row — each job carries its canonical apply URL, so recruiters and candidates go straight to the source.
• One-click full-detail enrichment — turn on Fetch Full Job Details to pull the complete description, structured salary, work setting, and benefits from each job's own page.

Tips for Best Results

• Mirror an exact on-site search with a URL — set up the search you want on the Workopolis website, copy the address bar into startUrls, and the run reproduces it filter-for-filter, including any options not exposed as inputs here.
• Keep Fetch Full Job Details on for the richest data — it's the only way to get the complete description, structured salary, work setting, and benefits. Turn it off only when you need a fast, lightweight scan and the snippet is enough.
• Remote is the most efficient work-setting filter — Remote roles are isolated directly at search time, while On-site and Hybrid are matched as each job is read, so very specific On-site/Hybrid combinations may take a little longer to fill on markets where few jobs match.
• Run several keywords at once — list every title you track in searchQueries; they share one run and de-duplicate automatically, so a posting found by two keywords appears only once.
• Start small, then scale — try maxResults of 25–50 to confirm the data fits your needs, then raise it up to 2,000 per keyword for deep coverage.
• Pick the description format you'll actually use — choose Plain text for clean analysis, HTML to preserve formatting, or Both to keep every option open.
• Use the 24-hour window for daily monitoring — schedule a run with datePosted set to Last 24 hours to capture only brand-new postings each day.
