What does FlexJobs Jobs Scraper do?

FlexJobs hand-screens listings for remote, hybrid, freelance, and part-time roles across 50+ career categories. There is no public FlexJobs API — this scraper reads the site's own job-search results instead, so you get the same jobs you would see on flexjobs.com, as structured data. For every keyword, location, and country combination it extracts:

• 🏷️ Job identity — title, location(s), remote type (100% remote, hybrid, or option for remote), and a direct flexjobs.com/publicjobs/... link.
• 💰 Pay and terms — salary range as shown on the site, plus parsed salary_min / salary_max / currency / period, schedule (full-time, part-time, flexible), employment category (employee vs. freelance), and career level.
• 📋 Context — a short role summary, listed benefits, education requirements, travel requirement, and the FlexJobs categories the job is filed under.
• 📅 Dates — when the job was posted and when the listing expires.

The scraper accepts the same inputs as a normal FlexJobs search — keyword, location, country, job type, employer, and "date posted" window — and paginates automatically, 50 jobs per page.

Note on employer names: FlexJobs shows the hiring company only to logged-in members. For public search results the company_name field is usually empty. Every other field (title, salary, location, schedule, remote type, link) is available.

What data can you extract from FlexJobs?

Field	Description
job_title	Role title as published on FlexJobs
company_name	Employer name (usually empty — FlexJobs hides this from non-members)
location	City / state / region, or Remote / US National where stated
posted_via	Always FlexJobs
salary	Pay range string exactly as shown, e.g. 120,000.00 - 150,000.00 USD Annually
salary_min / salary_max	Numeric salary bounds parsed from the range
salary_currency / salary_period	e.g. USD, yearly / hourly
date	Posting date (YYYY-MM-DD)
job_type	Full-time, Part-time, or Contract, when stated
schedule	Raw FlexJobs schedule label(s)
remote_option	100% Remote Work, Hybrid Remote Work, or Option for Remote Work
career_level	Entry-Level, Experienced, Manager, etc.
job_benefits	List of benefits mentioned in the listing
categories	FlexJobs career categories the job is filed under
education_levels	Education requirements, when stated
URL	Direct link to the public job listing
job_id / slug	Stable identifiers for deduplication and monitoring
posted_at / expire_at	Full ISO timestamps

Not every FlexJobs listing includes every field — salary, exact date, and job type vary by posting — so handle optional fields gracefully in your integration.

How to scrape FlexJobs

1. Open the Input tab of the FlexJobs Jobs Scraper.
2. Enter a search keyword — a job title or skill such as Product Manager or data analyst.
3. Optionally set a location (New York, NY), a country (usa), a job type, an employer, and a "date posted" window.
4. Set Pages to fetch — start with 1–3 pages (50 jobs each) to keep the first run fast and cheap.
5. Click Start. Results stream into the dataset as they are scraped.
6. Export from the Storage tab, or pull the data via API, or connect an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks).

To run FlexJobs scraping on a schedule (daily, hourly, weekly), use Apify's Schedules feature and point it at this actor.

How much does it cost to scrape FlexJobs?

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing:

Plan	Price per 1,000 jobs
Free	$0.99
Bronze	$0.89
Silver	$0.89
Gold	$0.79

One event is charged per job saved to the dataset. Scraping 3 pages (~150 jobs) costs about $0.15 on the Free plan. Your Apify platform usage (compute + proxy) is billed separately according to your plan; the UNBLOCKER proxy required for FlexJobs is the main platform cost, so keep pagesToFetch to what you actually need.

Use cases

• 📊 Remote job-market research — track how many remote/hybrid roles exist for a skill, and how pay ranges shift over time.
• 🧭 Recruiting and sourcing — monitor new listings in a category and location every day.
• 💵 Salary benchmarking — aggregate salary_min / salary_max by role, seniority, and remote type.
• 🔁 Job-board aggregation — feed FlexJobs listings into your own job search product alongside other sources.
• 🔔 Alerting — schedule the actor with datePosted: "today" and push new jobs to Slack or email.

How it works

1. The actor loads a FlexJobs search results page for your keyword, location, and country through Apify's UNBLOCKER proxy (FlexJobs is protected by Akamai Bot Manager).
2. It reads the listing data embedded in the page and maps each job to a structured record.
3. It follows pagination up to pagesToFetch, deduplicating jobs by ID across pages.
4. datePosted and jobType are applied as filters; jobs outside the window or type are skipped.
5. Each job is pushed to the dataset and one job-scraped event is charged.

FAQ

Do I need a FlexJobs account or subscription? No. The scraper reads public FlexJobs search results. A FlexJobs membership is only needed to see employer names and apply directly on flexjobs.com.

Why is company_name empty? FlexJobs deliberately hides the hiring company from non-members on public search results. The scraper returns every other field. If you need the employer, open the job URL while logged in to FlexJobs.

How many jobs can I get per search? FlexJobs returns 50 jobs per page and often hundreds of pages per query. Set pagesToFetch to control how deep to go.

Can I filter by "posted today" or "this week"? Yes — use datePosted (today, 3days, week, month). Jobs older than the window are skipped.

Can I scrape a specific FlexJobs category or remote level? Use a keyword that matches the category (e.g. accounting, customer service) plus the jobType filter. Remote level is returned in remote_option for every job.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify Schedules for recurring runs, and integrations or webhooks to route new jobs into your tools.

Something looks wrong or a field is missing. Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run ID — happy to fix it.

Is it legal to scrape FlexJobs?

Scraping publicly available data is legal in most jurisdictions, and this actor only reads pages that any visitor can load without logging in. It does not bypass authentication and does not collect personal data about individuals. You are responsible for how you use the scraped data — review FlexJobs' Terms of Use and consult Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping before large-scale or commercial use.
