💰 Pricing

You pay $1.25 per 1,000 jobs ($0.00125 per job), with or without full details. There is no start fee. Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top at cost and is very small for this actor: a 1,000-job run used less than $0.01 in our tests.

• 100 jobs ≈ $0.13
• 1,000 jobs ≈ $1.25
• 10,000 jobs ≈ $12.51

Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap; the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape CV-Library? The actor reads publicly listed jobs that anyone can see without an account. You are responsible for how you use the data, including any personal data such as recruiter names, under the GDPR and CV-Library's terms.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. No account is needed. The actor uses UK residential exits by default because they are the most reliable for CV-Library, and the site's answers are small, so proxy traffic costs fractions of a cent. If the proxy is refused, the actor switches to the other proxy pool and then to a hosted browser by itself.

How many results can I get? As many as the site lists. CV-Library serves at most 10,000 results per search, so for bigger pulls split the search by location, keyword or filters; the run tells you when a search hit that ceiling.

Why is a field empty? Advertisers do not always fill everything: many jobs hide the salary, some have no applicant count, and region-wide jobs have no coordinates. The contact name, contract length and full description come only with Include full job details on.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it daily (sorted by most recent), and read results through the API or send them to your tools with integrations and webhooks.

Coming from another CV-Library scraper? Inputs named query and maxResults are accepted too, and the output uses familiar field names such as title, company, salaryText, annualSalaryMin and postedAt.

⚠️ Limits

• At most 10,000 results per search (a site limit).
• No recruiter phone numbers or emails: CV-Library does not publish them in listings.
• Part-time is not a separate filter on the site's search, so it is not offered; part-time jobs show it in contractType.
• No change tracking between runs; schedule runs and compare jobIds if you need it.
