Idealist Data Scraper

ScrapeIt acts as your custom Idealist data scraper, extracting jobs, internships, volunteer positions, events, and organization profiles directly from the source — with no scraping setup required on your end. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll deliver clean, ready-to-use data tailored to your goals.

We provide structured exports in your preferred format — CSV, Excel, or JSON — filtered by location, category, language, or cause area. Our team handles all the parsing, formatting, and delivery, so you can focus on insights — not infrastructure.

What You Can Pull from Idealist

Using our Idealist scraper, you'll access live job, internship, and volunteer listings submitted by nonprofits and social-impact groups globally. We extract key details from each posting: job title, description, organization name, cause area, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), location (on-site, remote, hybrid), education requirements, experience level, and compensation/benefits. This rich dataset reflects how opportunities are presented and categorized on the platform.

Deep Insights from Idealist Scraper

Deep Insights from Idealist Scraper

Beyond basic listings, the scraper can capture filters and structured metadata that make analysis meaningful. This includes cause areas and job functions (e.g., advocacy, data evaluation, program management), remote work settings (remote, hybrid, in-person), and listing duration. We also extract information on how long a listing stays live (typically 30 days for jobs and internships, volunteer listings vary) and the application method (Idealist’s Applicant Tracker or external email/website).

Test data ?"Data example" is a pre-generated dataset, usually not up-to-date, intended to showcase what parameters can be scraped, its format, final file structure, etc. It is refreshed once a quarter and provided "as-is". The cost is not subtracted from the first month's fee.

"Sample dataset" is a bespoke, freshly scraped subset comprising up to 10% of the anticipated data volume. It's fully customized to meet clients' requirements and formatting needs. The sample dataset is included in most plans, with its cost deducted from the first month's fee.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a custom data delivery service that helps you collect exactly the information you need — without coding, scraping tools, or integrations. We extract public data directly from target platforms like Idealist, clean it, structure it, and deliver it to you in the format that fits your workflow.

Our goal is simple: to give you fast, accurate access to high-value data, so you can focus on using it — not gathering it.

FAQ

Can I focus only on job data and skip volunteer listings?

Yes, we can extract just the job listings — filtered by type, location, or cause area.

How is your extractor different from scraping tools?

We use a dedicated extractor maintained by our team — no setup, no maintenance on your side.

Do you provide scraping services for other nonprofit sites?

Yes, ScrapeIt supports many platforms in the nonprofit and social good sector — not just Idealist.

Can I analyze which companies are hiring the most?

Absolutely. We can include organization names, number of listings, and other employer insights.

Is salary information included in the job listing data?

If it’s published on the listing, we extract salary details — including ranges and compensation notes.

How does it Work?

1. Make a request

You tell us which website(s) to scrape, what data to capture, how often to repeat etc.

2. Analysis

An expert analyzes the specs and proposes a lowest cost solution that fits your budget.

3. Work in progress

We configure, deploy and maintain jobs in our cloud to extract data with highest quality. Then we sample the data and send it to you for review.

4. You check the sample

If you are satisfied with the quality of the dataset sample, we finish the data collection and send you the final result.
