Indeed Job Scraper

What does Indeed Job Scraper do?

Indeed Job Scraper extracts job listings directly from Indeed's GraphQL API — the same endpoint the Indeed mobile app uses. It parses salary ranges into structured min/max/currency/period fields, pulls full job descriptions, and enriches each listing with company data (industry, employee count, revenue, logo).

Why use this Actor?

• Structured salary parsing — salary text is broken into salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, and salary_period (hour/day/week/month/year), so you can filter and compare offers programmatically
• Rich company data — each listing includes company logo, industry, employee count range, revenue range, and a brief description
• Full job descriptions — both HTML and a 500-character snippet, so you can do keyword matching without downloading the full page
• Multi-country support — search Indeed across us, uk, ca, de, and more
• Deduplication — jobs are deduplicated by ID across queries and locations

How to use

1. Enter one or more search queries (e.g. "software engineer", "data scientist")
2. Optionally add locations (e.g. "New York", "San Francisco") — leave empty for worldwide
3. Set max jobs per query-location combination
4. Choose your country domain and sort order
5. Click Start and download results
