ZipRecruiter Ireland Jobs Scraper

ZipRecruiter Ireland Jobs Scraper

Scrape ZipRecruiter Ireland job listings by keyword, location, or direct URL, up to a million per run. Every listing returns title, company, salary, location, and posting date. Optionally open each job to collect full description, requirements, benefits, and structured metadata. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

ZipRecruiter Ireland lists thousands of open roles across Dublin, Cork, Galway, and every county, but manually copying listings is slow and the official API is not built for bulk market research. This Actor reads the public search pages directly, applies your filters for keyword, location, and workplace type, and returns every matching job in one consistent schema. It can also open each job detail page to pull the full description, requirements, benefits, and hidden JSON-LD metadata that search results leave out.

What it does

This Actor collects ZipRecruiter Ireland job listings from keyword searches, location-based queries, or direct URLs and returns each one as a flat row, with an optional detail pass that adds full description, requirements, benefits, and structured metadata.

• 🔍 Keyword and location search: enter a job title like 'backend' or 'nurse' and a location like 'Dublin, Ireland' to scrape exactly what a candidate would see.
• 📋 Direct URL input: paste any ZipRecruiter Ireland search URL with filters already applied and scrape those exact results.
• 📄 Full detail extraction: toggle includeDetails to open each listing and collect the full job description, requirements, benefits, apply URL, and JSON-LD metadata.
• 🏢 Workplace filter: restrict results to on-site roles only with the built-in workplace filter.
• 📊 Sort control: choose between best match and newest-first ordering to match your research workflow.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your keyword and location combination returns results on the live ZipRecruiter Ireland site first. If you are using startUrls, make sure the URL is a valid search results page and not a single job listing. Also verify that your maxItems is set high enough.

The run is taking a long time.

When 'Include Details' is turned on, the Actor opens every job listing page individually, which adds time. Reduce your maxItems, narrow your search filters, or turn off detail extraction if you only need the search result summary fields.

Some job listings are missing salary information.

Not every ZipRecruiter Ireland listing includes a salary. The Actor collects whatever salary data is present on the page. If a listing does not show a salary range, that field will be empty in your dataset.

I pasted a URL but the Actor used my keyword search instead.

The startUrls field and the keyword/location search fields are mutually exclusive. Clear the keyword and location fields when you want to use startUrls, or clear startUrls when you want to use the search filters.

The location filter is not returning jobs in my target city.

Try using the exact location string that works on the ZipRecruiter Ireland website, such as 'Dublin, Ireland' or 'Cork, Ireland'. For more precision, provide latitude and longitude coordinates along with a distance value in kilometres.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Does this scraper work for ZipRecruiter Ireland only, or other countries too?	This Actor is built for the ZipRecruiter Ireland domain (ziprecruiter.ie). It reads Irish search results, locations, and listings. For US, UK, or other markets you need a scraper that targets those specific domains.
Can I get the full job description and salary?	Yes. Turn on the 'Include Details' option and the Actor will open each job listing page to collect the full description, requirements, benefits, salary information when present, and structured JSON-LD metadata.
How do I filter by location?	Use the 'Location' field to enter a city, county, or region such as 'Dublin, Ireland' or 'Cork, Ireland'. You can also provide latitude and longitude coordinates with a distance radius in kilometres for precise geographic filtering.
What is the maximum number of jobs I can scrape?	You can set the 'Maximum job listings' input up to 1,000,000 per run. You can also set a per-URL cap with 'Max Items Per Start URL' to control how many listings come from each search.
Can I paste a URL with filters already applied?	Yes. Paste any ZipRecruiter Ireland search URL into the 'startUrls' field and the Actor will scrape exactly those filtered results. This is mutually exclusive with the keyword and location search fields.
Does this scraper handle pagination automatically?	Yes. The Actor follows the 'next page' links on ZipRecruiter Ireland search results and keeps collecting until it hits your maximum items limit or runs out of listings.
What output formats are supported?	You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform, or push the data to an external service via an API integration.
Can I filter for remote or on-site jobs only?	The Actor includes a workplace filter that currently supports 'On Site' only, matching the public filter available on ZipRecruiter Ireland search results.
How do I sort results by newest jobs first?	Set the 'Sort By' input to 'Newest' and the Actor will request results ordered by publication date instead of the default best-match relevance order.
Can I keep only jobs that require an external application?	Yes. Turn on the 'External Apply Only' toggle and the Actor will filter out any listing that uses a direct ZipRecruiter apply flow, keeping only jobs that send candidates to an external site.
