💰 Pricing

You pay $1.00 per 1,000 jobs saved ($0.001 per job), with no start fee, plus a small amount of platform usage (compute and proxy traffic), which is not included in the job price. Example: 1,000 jobs ≈ $1.00 in total ($1.00 for the jobs + about $0.006 platform usage, measured on our test runs); 100 jobs ≈ $0.10. Failed links, jobs that are no longer online and rows you filter out are not charged. Set a maximum total charge on the run and the scraper stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Nationale Vacaturebank? The scraper only reads job ads that anyone can see without logging in. Contact persons are named in the ads by the employers and agencies themselves. If you store or contact people, follow the GDPR and Dutch marketing rules.

Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy? No account and no cookies. The default datacenter proxy reaches the site fine; if its exits are refused before any job is found, the run switches to Dutch residential exits by itself.

How many jobs can I get? As many as the site lists. One search shows at most 10,000 jobs; set Maximum jobs to 0 and bigger searches are split by province, job category and contract type automatically, with duplicates removed. The site's order shifts slightly between pages, so the scraper re-reads pages when jobs slipped past: in our tests full searches returned 99.9% or more of the total the site reports (for example 18,903 of 18,910 jobs in Zuid-Holland).

Why are some fields empty? Employers fill in different parts of the ad. In our test samples about half of the jobs had a salary, about three in four a contact email and only a few a phone number or logo. Empty means the ad does not show it.

Can I get only new jobs every day? Yes: schedule the scraper with Posted within: last 24 hours and send the results to your tools through the API, webhooks or integrations. contentHash changes when an ad's content changes.

Can I use it through the API? Yes. Start runs and read results with the Scrapely API or client libraries; every field above is in the JSON.

⚠️ Limits

• Only public job ads; nothing behind a login (saved searches, applications, CVs).
• A single search on the site returns at most 10,000 jobs; the automatic split covers bigger searches, and jobs that match several categories are saved once.
• The site's order is not fully stable between pages; a handful of jobs in a very large export (about 0.1% in our tests) can still be missed.
• Runs larger than 500 jobs are read newest first unless you choose another order.
• employmentType is derived from the hours and contract type; the site does not publish a separate full-time/part-time field.
• Descriptions are in the language of the ad (almost always Dutch).
