🍁 Eluta.ca Job Scraper

Scrape job listings from Eluta.ca, the Canadian job search engine that indexes jobs directly from employer career sites. Search by keyword and location with the site's own filters, or paste search, employer and job URLs, and get every job with its salary range, location, posting date, employer details and, by default, the full description. No login, no browser: 1,000 jobs with full details in about 1.5 minutes, for $1.25 per 1,000 jobs.

✨ Why use Eluta.ca Job Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast: 20 detailed jobs in about 10 seconds, 1,000 detailed jobs in about 95 seconds.
• 🧾 Complete job data: full description as text, HTML and Markdown, posting and apply-by dates, employment type, industry, the employer's website, description, head-office address and coordinates.
• 💰 Clean salaries: "$80,000 - $120,000" or "$23/hr" becomes salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryType (ANNUAL, HOURLY...), ready for analysis.
• 🔗 Real apply links: every job has an apply link, and an option resolves it to the employer's own posting (Workday, Lever, SmartRecruiters, careers pages...).
• 🔎 All the site's filters: sort by date, radius, remote work, minimum salary, job type (full-time, part-time, entry-level, internships, seasonal), Canada's Top Employers lists and categories, plus date and keyword filters on top.
• 🛡️ Reliable: Eluta.ca blocks addresses that load many pages quickly. The scraper spreads requests over many proxy addresses and retries refused pages on fresh ones, so runs finish with full results.

🎯 Use cases

• 📊 Salary research: compare pay for a role in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal.
• 🧲 Recruitment and lead generation: find employers hiring for a profession, with their website and head-office address.
• 🏆 Employer branding research: list the open jobs of Canada's Top 100 Employers or a regional top-employer list.
• 🔔 Job alerts: schedule a daily run sorted by date with "Posted from: 24 hours" and push new jobs to Slack, email or a spreadsheet.
• 🤖 Job boards and AI pipelines: feed full descriptions in Markdown into your own search, matching or classification.

💰 Pricing

You pay $1.25 per 1,000 jobs ($0.00125 per job), full details included, with no start fee. Jobs left out by your date or keyword filters are not charged.

Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top and is small: a 1,000-job run with full details used about $0.03 in our tests. So 1,000 detailed jobs cost about $1.28 in total, and a 20-job run about $0.03.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Eluta.ca? The scraper reads public job listings that anyone can see without an account. Check Eluta.ca's terms and the laws that apply to you, especially if you store personal data found in descriptions.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. No account or cookies are needed, and the built-in proxy is used by default. Eluta.ca limits how many pages one address may load, so keep the proxy on.

How many jobs can I get? As many as you want across several searches. Eluta.ca itself shows at most 10,000 jobs per search, so split very broad searches by search term, location or filter; the run says so when a search reaches that ceiling.

Why is a field empty? Employers decide what they publish. Salary, industry, apply-by date and the employer address are missing on some jobs, and job pages that Eluta.ca no longer serves are saved with the search-result data only (detailFetched: false).

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule daily runs sorted by date with "Posted from" set to 24 hours, and start runs or read results through the API or integrations.

Is it faster without details? Yes. Turn off "Include full job details" to read 10 jobs per page request instead of one page per job; the price stays the same.

⚠️ Limits

• Eluta.ca shows at most 10,000 jobs (1,000 pages) per search.
• postedAt is the posting time in Toronto time, as the site gives it. Without job details, date filters use the "indexed ... ago" time from the search results, which is rounded.
• The minimum salary filter works in the site's steps ($40,000 to $140,000 in $20,000 steps) and keeps only jobs that state a salary.
• Category values must match the site's category names (for example Computing - Software & Web Development).
• Sponsored jobs shown above the results are not included; only the regular results are.
