What it does.

Platsbanken has the ads that employers publish with Arbetsförmedlingen and many ads collected from employers' own career sites, around 40 000 open ads on a normal weekday. The tool searches them through the open JobTech JobSearch API. Filter by keyword, county, municipality, occupation field, employment type, remote work and publication date. One search returns at most 2 000 ads, so split larger searches by county or occupation field.

Contact persons, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are removed from the output, and when the employer is a private person the employer name and organisation number are left empty. Most ads are written in Swedish. A run with empty input returns the 50 newest ads in Platsbanken, and the sample below is such a run on 3 October 2026.

}

What a run costs

A run with the default input returns the 50 newest ads, which is 0.15 USD; the run on 3 October 2026 shown above took about 4 seconds. maxResults caps every run, ads skipped by onlyNew are not charged, and platform usage is included in the price.

Run it on a schedule.

  1. Ask for new rows only

    Set onlyNew to true. The actor remembers what it has already delivered for the same input, in a named key-value store in your own Apify account (nightwave-state-sweden-job-ads-platsbanken).
  2. Add a schedule

    Add the actor to a schedule in Apify Console, for example with the cron expression 0 7 * * * for 07:00 every day.
  3. Get what is new

    The first run returns everything in the selection. After that, each run returns and charges only what is new. A run with nothing new finishes with 0 rows and costs nothing.

Source and license.

The data comes from the public JobSearch API run by JobTech at Arbetsförmedlingen, the Swedish Public Employment Service. No API key is needed. Names of counties, municipalities, occupations and employment types come from the JobTech Taxonomy. The ad texts are written by the employers, who are responsible for them. The tool is not affiliated with Arbetsförmedlingen or JobTech.

The API states that the ads are licensed under CC0 1.0, and Arbetsförmedlingen publishes them as open data that anyone may use and share for any purpose (data.arbetsformedlingen.se). CC0 does not require attribution, but every row carries source and license so you can show where the data comes from.
