EURES Cross-Border job search in n8n
Search EURES's cross-border EEA job vacancy index by keyword, country, region, sector, contract type, education level and more, or fetch full detail - salary, benefits, contacts - for specific vacancy IDs.

Each row comes back with title, employer name, countries, position schedule codes and 3 more. A Google Sheets append is included and stays off until you add your sheet.

Questions people ask
How do I import this workflow into n8n?

Do I need an Apify account?
Yes. The workflow calls the EURES Cross-Border Job Search & Vacancy Lookup Actor through the Apify API with your own token, and each run is billed to your Apify account. The Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.

With the starter input (maxItems = 25) a first run costs about $0.42 on the Apify Free plan: $0.40 to start the run at 4 GB of memory and $0.02 for the results, plus platform usage. The Actor's Store page shows the current price.
Can I change what it collects?
