FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you unblock access to job listing websites?

While scraping public job listings is legal, most major boards deploy bot detection that blocks naive HTTP clients. Scrapfly handles fingerprint spoofing, proxy rotation, and challenge solving transparently so your scraper sees clean HTML without maintaining any bypass infrastructure yourself.

Is web scraping job listing websites legal?

Yes - scraping publicly visible data is generally legal in most jurisdictions. Extra care is warranted when collecting PII or copyrighted material, which may have different rules depending on the country. Only scrape data that is publicly accessible without logging in. For a deeper overview see our web scraping laws article.

What is a Web Scraping API?

A Web Scraping API is a hosted service that abstracts away the engineering challenges of large-scale data collection - proxy management, browser rendering, anti-bot bypass, and rate limiting. You send a URL and receive clean HTML or extracted data back. Scrapfly is one such service, letting your team focus on what to do with the data rather than how to retrieve it.

How can I access the Scrapfly Web Scraping API?

The API is accessible from any HTTP client - curl, httpie, or any language's HTTP library. For first-class support Scrapfly provides Python and TypeScript SDKs.

Are proxies enough to scrape job data?

No. Modern job boards fingerprint browsers at the TLS, HTTP/2, and JavaScript layers. A plain proxy only changes your IP - it does nothing to fix the hundreds of other detection signals. Effective bypass requires coherent fingerprints at every layer, which is what Scrapfly manages on your behalf.

What types of job data can be scraped?

Publicly visible job posting pages typically contain job title, company name, location, salary range or band, required skills, seniority level, application count, and posting date. Company profile pages on review sites add employee count, funding stage, and aggregate ratings. Only scrape data that is accessible without authentication.

How do I extract structured data from scraped job pages?

Modern job sites often embed data in JavaScript-rendered markup, making CSS selectors brittle when layouts change. Scrapfly's Extraction API uses an AI engine to pull structured fields from raw HTML using a plain-language prompt or a JSON schema. The output is stable even when the site redesigns its layout.
