✨ Why this scraper?

• Fast without shortcuts
  About 1,000 jobs with full details in under a minute, with no browser and no proxy.

• Every filter, not just a keyword box
  Work model, contract, area, salary band and date are real inputs, not something you have to build into a URL by hand.

• Numbers you can sort by
  Salaries are parsed from Brazilian formatting into numbers, and "A combinar" is flagged instead of mixed in.

• Honest about what Catho shows
  Confidential companies stay confidential (company is empty and confidentialCompany is true). The work model is only filled in when you filter by it, because that's the only time Catho tells you.

• Search
  By one or more keywords, in one or more states or cities, or across all of Brazil.

• Filters Catho itself offers
  Work model, contract type, professional area (78), salary band, salary shown only, posting date, and sort order.

• Apify platform
  Schedule runs, get only new jobs, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

scrapers_lat also sells optional AI add-ons (summary, skills, salary estimate, translation) and a remote/home-office flag on every row. Catho has no structured work-model field on job pages, so this actor tags workModel from Catho's own filter instead of guessing from the description.

❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a Catho Jobs API? Do I need an API key?

Catho Jobs has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Catho Jobs API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP: claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/catho-scraper"

Why do I get only 10 jobs?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

A location was skipped

Use a state code ("SP") or "City - UF" ("Campinas - SP"). If every location you gave is unrecognizable, the run stops with 0 results instead of searching all of Brazil.

Some jobs show another city than the one I searched

Those jobs are open in several cities (additionalCities); Catho lists them under each one. Every location is in locations.

Is this an official Catho Jobs tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with Catho Jobs. It reads only data Catho Jobs publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Catho Jobs's terms and the laws that apply to you.
