How to Scrape JustRemote with MrScraper

Scraping JustRemote might seem complex, but with MrScraper, it’s as simple as following a few steps:

Step 1: Create a scraper

To scrape data from a website, we must first create a scraper for the scraping process. Choose the type standard, fill out the name with anything you want, then fill out the Default entry URLs with the URL of a website containing the data you want to scrape. In this example, we’re going to scrape JustRemote.

Step 2: Create scraping workflows

Next, we need to create scraping workflows for the scraper. Before creating a workflow, you need to know the selector of the container that contains the data you want to scrape.

To find the selector, you can use your browser’s Devtools Inspect Element on the website you want to scrape and click the Elements tab to view the HTML elements of the page.

To find the correct selector, you need to find the element that contains the data you want for each of the items. In the image below we can see that the container element for a job item is “.new-job-item__JobItemWrapper-sc-1qa4r36-0”.

After finding the container selector, let’s go back to the MrScraper appand then create a workflow in the Workflow tab.

Create a new workflow by clicking the Add step button then choose Scrape data. Fill the name with anything you want, then choose Collection for the type, and then choose All matches for the quantity to scrape all the data on the page with the same selector. For the selector, choose the CSS type then fill the parent selector with the selector we got which is “.new-job-item__JobItemWrapper-sc-1qa4r36-0”.

Next, we need to determine the data fields we want to scrape from each of the movies. In this example, we are going to scrape the name, url, and the image url.

Same as the parent selector, we need to find the selector for each of the data fields. Add a collection item for each of the data fields.

1. title: .new-job-item__JobTitle-sc-1qa4r36-8. Choose the type Text.
2. company: .new-job-item__JobItemCompany-sc-1qa4r36-4. Choose the type Text.
3. type: .new-job-item__Tag-sc-1qa4r36-10. Choose the type Text.
4. url: a. Choose the type Attribute, fill the attribute with href.

Choose the First match quantity for every field.

Save the workflow then we’re ready to run the scraper.

Step 3: Run the scraper

After creating the workflows, next, we just need to run the scraper by clicking the Run scraper button on the top right.

Now we wait for the scraping process to complete, which can take from 10 seconds to more than a minute based on the complexity of the workflows and the amount of data scraped.

Step 4: View the result

Finally, after the scraping process is complete, you can view the result of the scraped data. You can also copy or export the data by downloading the extracted data in JSON or CSV format.
