Overview
Fantastic Jobs Job Listing Scraper
Scrape job listings from any Fantastic Jobs page, from a single search to a million postings per run. Every listing returns the job title, company, location, description, and URL. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Fantastic Jobs aggregates postings from thousands of company career sites, but browsing them manually means you miss the full picture.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your Start URL is a valid Fantastic Jobs page that currently displays job listings. If the page has no listings or uses a different URL structure, the scraper will return an empty dataset. Try the default homepage URL first to verify the Actor is working.
The scraper is only returning 10 items.
Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 items per run as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and increase the Max Items input to collect more listings.
Some fields are empty in my results.
Not every job listing on Fantastic Jobs contains all data fields. If a company's original posting omitted a description or location, that field will be empty in your dataset. This reflects the source data, not a scraper error.
The run is taking a very long time.
Large Max Items values will naturally take longer to complete. Reduce the Max Items input for faster runs, or ensure your Start URL points to a specific, filtered search rather than a broad category page.
I get an error when using a custom URL.
Ensure the URL is a full, valid Fantastic Jobs link starting with https://fantastic.jobs. The scraper expects the standard Fantastic Jobs page structure. A URL from a different domain will cause an error.
