What NIJobs Scraper can do

60+ fields per job. A stable schema, so the output drops straight into any pipeline whether or not detail enrichment ran.
Full descriptions. Job description in both HTML and plain text, plus employment type, industry, work type, contract type, exact GPS and the full postal address.
Company data on every record. Hiring company name, profile URL and logo, plus sponsored, highlighted and work-from-home flags.
Two ways in. Build a search from keywords, location and filters, or paste results-page links directly.
Filters and sorting. Four sort orders, a posted-within filter, a radius, and a minimum-salary filter by year, day or hour.
Incremental mode. Return only new, updated and reappeared jobs on recurring runs, with one clear Max items cap.

Supported input fields
Input	What it controls
`mode`string · required	search = build searches from keywords + location + filters. url = paste one or more nijobs results-page URLs. Choices: search, url
`keywords`array	Job titles or keywords to search, e.g. Software Developer, Accountant, Nurse. Each keyword runs its own search. Only applies when mode = search.
`location`string	Optional town, city or county in Northern Ireland to narrow the search, e.g. Belfast, Londonderry, County Antrim. Leave empty to search all of Northern Ireland. Only applies when mode = search.
`radius`integer	Widen a location search to jobs within this many miles. Values snap to the nearest of 5, 10, 20 or 30 miles (maximum 30). Only applies when mode = search and a location is set.
`postedWithin`string	Only return jobs posted within this many days. Only applies when mode = search. Choices: any, 1, 3, 7, 14
`minSalary`integer	Only return jobs at or above this salary. Read together with Salary period (annual / daily / hourly). Only applies when mode = search.
`salaryPeriod`string	Which salary rate the Minimum salary value refers to. Only applies when mode = search and Minimum salary is set. Choices: annual, daily, hourly

More input fields
Input	What it controls
`sortBy`string	Result ordering. Only applies when mode = search. Choices: relevance, date, salary-desc, salary-asc
`urls`array	Paste one or more nijobs results-page URLs (e.g. https://www.nijobs.com/jobs/software-developer/in-belfast). Multi-URL supported. The keyword/location/filter fields above are ignored in this mode. Left untouched, URL mode scrapes one example of each supported URL shape.
`fetchDetails`boolean	Fetch each job page to add the full job description, geo coordinates, full postal address, employment type, industry, work type / contract type, validity window and the apply URL. Adds one request per job. Leave on for the richest output.
`maxPages`integer	Optional safety stop on how many result pages to read per keyword/URL. This does NOT cap the run: leave it empty for unlimited pages and the run is bounded solely by Max items. Set a value only if you also want a per-search page ceiling.
`maxItems`integer	The run's single hard cap: maximum total jobs across all searches. Defaults to 20 (also when the field is omitted through the API). Set 0 for unlimited. This is the only default limit; Max pages is unlimited by default and defers to this.
`resumeFromRunId`string	Paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a large pull without returning or charging for jobs already collected there. For recurring monitoring of the same search, use Incremental changes below instead.
`stateKey`string	Incremental mode only. Optional name for this campaign's saved baseline. Leave empty to derive it from the search settings, so each distinct search keeps its own baseline.
`emitUnchanged`boolean	Incremental mode only. Also return (and bill as normal rows) jobs whose values did not change.
`emitExpired`boolean	Incremental mode only. Return an EXPIRED row for jobs no longer found (billed like any returned row). Only after a complete scan: a Max items or Max pages cut, a pasted URL that starts at page 2 or later, an early stop or a failed page disables it.
`mcpConnectors`array	Optionally send the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations, then select it here. The connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (title + key fields), not the full JSON; the complete record stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion (https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), Linear (https://mcp.linear.app/sse), Airtable (https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp), Apify (https://mcp.apify.com).
`notionParentPageUrl`string	URL (or id) of the Notion page under which item pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors.
`maxNotifyListings`integer	Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

Questions about this actor

What data does NIJobs Scraper return?

The documented output for NIJobs Scraper includes id, title, company, location, salary, type, work type and posted. Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.

How much does NIJobs Scraper cost?

It costs $1.80 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.00 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.

Does the output include employer reviews or ratings?

No. nijobs.com does not publish company reviews or star ratings anywhere on the public site, so those fields always come back empty. If you need employer reputation data, look for a source that actually publishes it.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

Two different situations both fail the run rather than report a false result. In url mode, if none of the pasted links are recognisable nijobs.com results pages, the run fails immediately, before any request is sent, because that is a problem with the input, not a search result. Separately, if every request to nijobs.com is refused, the run fails with a connection message instead of claiming the search was empty. A genuinely empty search, where the site was reached but nothing matched, still succeeds with an empty dataset and a status message saying nothing matched.

Can I search outside Northern Ireland?

No. nijobs.com only covers Northern Ireland. Leave Location empty to search the whole region, or narrow it to a town or county.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
