CharityJob Scraper

Scrape job listings from CharityJob (charityjob.co.uk) — the UK's largest dedicated nonprofit and charity-sector jobs board.

Why use this actor?

Charities, recruitment agencies, and sector researchers track hiring trends and salary benchmarks across the UK nonprofit sector. CharityJob lists thousands of roles across fundraising, communications, operations, and services — but the site has no public API. This actor extracts complete, structured listings (title, organisation, location, salary, work mode, posted date) directly from the search results, saving hours of manual browsing.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
startUrls	Array	No	CharityJob.co.uk job search or listing pages
searchQuery	String	No	Search for jobs by keyword (e.g., fundraising, communications, finance manager)
location	String	No	Filter by city or region (e.g., London, Manchester, Bristol)
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum results to return (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings (datacenter proxies work fine — no bot-wall)

Each result contains:

location	String	"London"
workMode	String	"Hybrid", "On-site", or "Remote"

4. Set the maximum number of results.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.

Tips

• No proxy tier required — CharityJob serves plain server-rendered HTML with no bot protection, so the default Apify proxy is enough.
• Start with keyword-filtered listing pages like https://www.charityjob.co.uk/jobs?keywords=fundraising for a focused pull.
• Leave searchQuery and location empty to pull the full unfiltered listing feed — the actor defaults to /jobs and paginates automatically.
• Keep maxResults reasonable (100–500) to balance speed and cost on large runs.

Features

• No login required — scrapes publicly available data from CharityJob.co.uk without needing credentials or cookies.
• Structured output — results are returned as clean JSON objects, ready for processing.
• Pagination handling — automatically follows the site's rel="next" link across multiple result pages.
• Salary parsing — splits free-text salary ranges into numeric salaryMin/salaryMax fields for filtering and analysis.
• Proxy support — configurable proxy settings if you need geo-targeting or extra reliability at scale.
• Scheduled runs — run on a schedule to keep your dataset up to date automatically.

Cost estimate

This actor uses plain HTTP requests (no browser rendering), which keeps compute usage low: roughly 1 compute unit per 100–200 results. At standard Apify pricing, that's approximately $0.02–$0.05 per 100 jobs.

Limitations

• Salary data is only available when employers choose to disclose it.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice if CharityJob updates its page layout.
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
