Eluta.ca Job Scraper — Canadian Jobs, Salaries & Apply URLs

What does Eluta.ca Job Scraper do?

Turn any Eluta.ca search into clean, structured Canadian job data — title, company, location, salary and the direct employer apply link — in one run.

Scrape job listings from Eluta.ca, the search engine behind Canada's Top 100 Employers, by keyword, city and province. Every job comes back as a structured record: title, company, structured location (city / province), a first-class remote flag, parsed salary (min / max / currency / period), the direct employer apply URL and the full job description — plus dozens more fields. Run it no-code in the visual editor or via the API, export to JSON, CSV, Excel or feed it straight to an AI agent, and schedule it with incremental monitoring so a daily feed only ever costs you the jobs that actually changed.

Why this scraper

• ⚡ Fast & low-cost — pulls about 10 jobs per page request, so large runs stay cheap.
• 🧾 Rich, typed records — 35+ structured fields per job, not raw HTML.
• ♻️ Cheap to monitor — incremental mode re-scrapes only what changed (see below).
• 🔔 Notifications built in — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook.
• 🤖 AI- & API-ready — compact output, MCP-friendly, one-click integrations.

📚 What data can you extract from Eluta.ca?

• Job & employer — title, company, employerElutaUrl, url, id, source.
• Location — location, city, province, countryCode, isRemote.
• Salary — salaryRaw, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod.
• Posting details — employmentType, isSponsored, postedAtRaw, postedAt, resultRank, searchKeyword.
• Apply & source — applyUrl (direct employer link), sourceDomain, sourceCountry.
• Description (with Fetch full details) — descriptionSnippet, description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, descriptionLength.
• Contacts (with Extract contacts) — emails, phones, socialProfiles parsed from the description.
• Change tracking (with incremental mode) — changeType, isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt, contentHash, detailFetched, scrapedAt.

Every field is present in standard mode (missing values are null); compact mode returns the core fields only (title, company, location, salary, apply URL), for lean AI/MCP payloads.

✨ Key features

• 🔎 Search or URL scraping — run a keyword search with optional city/province, or paste Eluta.ca search and job-page URLs.
• 🍁 Built for Canada — structured city, province and countryCode, plus a first-class isRemote boolean parsed straight from the listing.
• 💰 Parsed salary — the raw salary text and structured salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency (CAD) and salaryPeriod (year / hour), so you can sort and filter on pay.
• 🔗 Direct employer apply URL — resolves the real destination on the employer's own careers site, not just the Eluta redirect, so leads and applications land where they should.
• 🧠 Full job descriptions — the complete posting as plain text, HTML and Markdown, with an always-on short snippet for previews.
• 🎚️ Powerful filters — city, province/territory, include/exclude keyword filters, a posted date range (fromDate / toDate), max age in days or minutes, and a result cap — keyword filtering runs before any detail fetch, so it stays cheap.
• 📇 Contact extraction — optionally pull emails, phone numbers and social-profile links out of each job description.
• ♻️ Incremental monitoring — schedule it and get only what changed (NEW / UPDATED / EXPIRED); unchanged jobs are skipped before their detail page is ever fetched.
• 🔁 Repost detection — the same job re-posted under a new ID is flagged (isRepost), and can be dropped entirely with Skip reposts.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook (n8n / Make / Zapier), with an optional changes-only filter.
• 🤖 AI-ready — compact and drop-empty output modes keep payloads small for LLMs and MCP.

♻️ How to monitor Eluta.ca with incremental mode

Schedule the actor and turn on incremental mode: each run compares against the last and emits only NEW / UPDATED / EXPIRED jobs — unchanged listings are skipped before their detail page is fetched, so a daily watch costs a fraction of a full re-scrape.

Daily churn	of 1,000 tracked	billable records	you save
5 %	1,000	50	95 %
15 %	1,000	150	85 %
30 %	1,000	300	70 %

The first run seeds the baseline and bills in full; every run after that bills only the delta.

🔔 How to set up Eluta.ca alerts

Get pinged the moment a matching record appears. Fill in only the channels you want:

Channel	What to configure
✈️ Telegram	telegramToken (from @BotFather) + telegramChatId
💬 Slack	slackWebhookUrl (Incoming Webhook URL)
🎮 Discord	discordWebhookUrl (channel webhook URL)
🪝 Webhook	webhookUrl receives structured JSON — ideal for n8n / Make / Zapier

Credentials are secret inputs — encrypted at rest, masked in the UI and never written to the run log. Every channel fires independently, so a broken channel can't stop the scrape or the others. Pair incremental mode with notify only about changes to hear only about genuinely new records, with no duplicates across runs.

💡 What can you do with Eluta.ca data?

• Recruiting & sourcing — build a live board of open Canadian roles with employer names and direct apply links.
• Salary benchmarking — aggregate salaryMin/salaryMax by role, city and province to price your offers.
• Job-market & hiring research — track which companies are hiring, where, and for what across Canada.
• Job board & aggregator feeds — enrich your own site or app with clean, structured Canadian listings.
• Daily vacancy monitoring — schedule with incremental mode + notifications for a live change feed.
• AI agents & pipelines — compact output plugs straight into LLM / MCP workflows.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Eluta.ca?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event model: a small fee when a run starts, plus a per-record fee. See the Actor's Pricing tab for the current numbers — they're rendered live, so this page never goes stale.

Two things cut your bill further:

• Site-side filters — records you filtered out are never fetched and never billed.
• Incremental mode — after the baseline run you pay only for what actually changed.

Daily churn	of 1,000 tracked	billable records	you save
5 %	1,000	50	95 %
15 %	1,000	150	85 %
30 %	1,000	300	70 %

🔌 Integrations & export

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or an HTML table, or pull from the REST API and the JavaScript / Python clients. Runs on a schedule, connects to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier and n8n, and works as an MCP tool for AI agents — compact mode keeps token usage small.

---

🔗 Using the API

Run this Actor from your own code. Example with the Apify Python client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("corvuslab/eluta-scraper").call(run_input={
        "query": "example",
        "maxResults": 50,
    })

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

It also works with the JavaScript/TypeScript client, the Apify CLI and the REST API.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy or login? No — it runs out of the box with a working default configuration, which you can adjust under Advanced.

Which locations does it cover? All of Canada — search by city, or restrict to any province or territory. Leave both empty to search the whole country.

Do I get salaries? Yes, when the employer publishes them — as raw text and as structured salaryMin / salaryMax / salaryCurrency / salaryPeriod. Jobs without a posted salary return null.

Can I get the real employer apply link? Yes — with Fetch full details, applyUrl resolves to the employer's own careers page, not just the Eluta redirect.

Can I get only new jobs on a schedule? Yes — turn on incremental mode and schedule it; each run emits only what changed and can notify your channel. Add Notify only on changes to keep those alerts to genuinely new/updated jobs.

Can I filter the results? Yes — narrow by city/province, a posted date range (fromDate / toDate) or max age (days or minutes), and keep or drop jobs with include/exclude keyword filters. Keyword filters run on the listing before any detail fetch, so they don't cost you extra.

Can I get recruiter emails or phone numbers? Turn on Extract contacts and the actor parses emails, phones and socialProfiles out of each fetched description. Most postings link to an applicant-tracking system rather than listing a contact, so these are often empty.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, or via the API.

Is it good for AI agents? Yes — enable compact mode; the output is MCP-friendly.

How many jobs can I get? As many as the search returns — set maxResults (0 = unlimited).

Is scraping this legal? The actor collects only publicly available data. You are responsible for how you use it, including any personal data and GDPR-style obligations.
