ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper

Pull structured job listings from ZipRecruiter (ziprecruiter.com) at scale: title, company, company logo, salary, location, employment type, benefits, posted date, apply URL, and full descriptions. Drive it two ways: a point-and-click search builder (keywords + location + filters) or paste any ziprecruiter.com search or job URL straight from your browser. Results page forward automatically, and you pay per result, with no monthly subscription.

Why this scraper

• Up to 50 fields per job, including parsed salary (min, max, period), structured location (city, state, county), employment type, benefits, company logo, and an apply URL.
• Rich data on every result without opening detail pages: the search results already carry company, salary, location, employment type, benefits, and a description snippet, so most feeds run fast and cheap.
• Optional detail mode adds the full HTML description, structured street address, industry, valid-through date, verified salary, and any contact email or phone the employer pasted into the description (when present) when you need the long form.
• Two input modes: build a search from keywords and filters, or paste finished ziprecruiter.com URLs (multiple supported, each pages forward on its own).
• Filters for date posted, employment type, remote-only, minimum salary, and search radius.
• Forward pagination with total-count detection and de-duplication by job id.
• Pay per result. No flat monthly fee, so a 50-listing run costs cents, not a subscription.

Employment-type filtering

ZipRecruiter treats the employment-type filter loosely: it narrows the search but also backfills the results with related jobs, so a part-time search can still surface some full-time roles. This scraper passes your choice to the search AND screens the results so the output favors your requested type. Jobs whose type ZipRecruiter does not label are kept rather than dropped, which keeps results flowing in thin markets. If you need an exact match only, post-filter the employmentTypes field in your downstream pipeline.

Plan requirement

ZipRecruiter accepts US residential traffic. The default proxy is Apify Residential pinned to the US, available on the Apify Starter plan and higher. The free plan does not include residential proxy access; free-plan users can uncheck "Use Apify proxy" and paste their own US residential proxy URLs in the proxy field. Datacenter exit IPs are rejected, so a US residential route is the reliable choice for steady runs.
