What does Jobat Scraper do?

Jobat Scraper extracts job listings from Jobat.be, Belgium's second-largest job board with over 85,000 daily visitors. It collects job titles, companies, salaries, locations, contract types, sectors, and full descriptions. The scraper supports both Dutch and French versions of the site. No login or cookies required.

Use it on the Apify platform to get structured job data via API, schedule recurring scrapes, and integrate with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and Slack.

Data fields

Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately 0.5 compute units per 1,000 results. With the Apify free tier you can run smaller scrapes at no cost. For larger runs, expect roughly $0.25 per 1,000 job listings at standard Apify pricing.

Tips

• Use specific search queries to get more relevant results and reduce unnecessary page loads.
• Set maxResults to a reasonable number to control cost and run time.
• Residential proxies are recommended since Jobat.be uses Cloudflare protection.
• Schedule recurring runs to track new job postings daily or weekly.
• Combine with other Belgian job board scrapers (VDAB, StepStone, Indeed) for comprehensive market coverage.

Limitations

• Salary data is not available for all listings -- many Belgian employers do not publish salary ranges.
• Some job detail fields may be empty depending on how the employer filled in the listing.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.

Integrations

• Google Sheets -- Export job listings directly to a spreadsheet for easy filtering and sharing.
• Slack -- Get notified when new jobs matching your criteria appear.
• Zapier / Make -- Build workflows that react to new job postings in real time.
