FlexJobs Scraper

FlexJobs Scraper

Scrape FlexJobs job listings by keyword, category, remote level, schedule, or location. Get every posting as a clean row with title, company, location, and remote details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

FlexJobs hides its listings behind a paywall and has no public API. This Actor reads the public job search results directly, applies your filters as it goes, and returns each match in one fixed schema. You get the same data a subscriber sees, without the subscription.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Your filters may be too restrictive. Try removing the location or category filter, or use a more general keyword. Also check that your keyword is spelled correctly.

The scraper stops before reaching maxItems.

This usually means there are no more matching listings on FlexJobs. Try broadening your filters or increasing the maxItems value.

I get an error about invalid input.

Make sure remoteLevel and jobSchedule are set to one of the allowed values from the dropdown. For keyword, category, and location, use plain text without special characters.

The output is missing some fields.

Some listings may not have all fields populated. The Actor returns whatever data is available on the public page. Check the sample output to see the full schema.

The scraper is slow.

FlexJobs may rate-limit requests. Try reducing maxItems or running the Actor during off-peak hours. You can also increase the timeout in Apify settings.
