DEV.BG Bulgarian IT Jobs Scraper

DEV.BG Bulgarian IT Jobs Scraper

Scrape Bulgarian IT job listings from DEV.BG by keyword or category, up to a million per run. Each job comes with its title, company, location, and full description. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

DEV.BG is Bulgaria's leading tech job board, but browsing it manually means missing new postings and losing hours to copy-paste. This Actor reads the public job listings directly, filtered by keyword or role category, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It is built for recruiters, analysts, and job seekers who need fresh Bulgarian IT job data without the official API's limits.

What it does

• 🔍 Keyword search: free-text query like python, java, or react, or leave empty for all jobs.
• 🗂️ Category filter: pick from 16 role categories, from Backend Development to Game Development.
• 📦 Bulk collection: set maxItems up to 1,000,000 to pull the whole board in one run.
• 📄 Flat output: every job is one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Make sure your searchQuery is spelled correctly and your category filter is not too narrow. Try leaving both empty to see all jobs.

Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?

The Actor stops when it has collected all available listings. If the board has fewer jobs than maxItems, you will get everything that exists.

Why are some job descriptions missing?

Some listings may have truncated or hidden descriptions on the public board. The Actor returns whatever text is visible without login.

Can I filter by remote work?

Remote work is not a separate filter in this version. Use the keyword search to look for terms like remote or hybrid in the job title.

Why is the run slow?

Large maxItems values mean more pages to fetch. Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters to speed up the run.
