ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper - US and Canada Job Listings API With Detail Enrichment

ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper is a US and Canada job listings API that extracts structured ZipRecruiter postings with keyword, location, distance, remote, posted-date, and job-type filters. It returns normalized ZipRecruiter job records with title, company, location, salary range, currency, pay interval, description, posting date, employment type, remote signal, and source URL. This actor supports United States and Canada because the ZipRecruiter coverage is focused on those markets. Use location text such as city, state, province, metro area, or remote-related location strings to narrow the search. Up to 10,000 job records can be requested per run, with Tiered Pay-Per-Event Pricing and no monthly minimum.

Why Choose This API

ZipRecruiter Data With Search Filters And Detail Enrichment

Structured job records Get one normalized dataset item per job posting with consistent fields for title, company, location, salary, job description, posting date, and source URL. This makes the output ready for dashboards, databases, CRMs, and AI pipelines.

Platform-specific extraction This actor focuses on ZipRecruiter only. Inputs and documentation are scoped to what the platform coverage supports, avoiding unsupported filters.

Salary and compensation signals When the source exposes salary data, the actor maps salary minimum, maximum, currency, and interval into structured fields. The currency input can normalize salary values for easier cross-market comparison.

Location and remote intelligence Use country and location inputs to target the right market. Output includes the platform location text, and remote signals are mapped when the source data exposes or implies remote work.

Scalable Apify workflow Results are stored in the default dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or consumed with the Apify REST API and client SDKs.

Transparent pricing Tiered pay-per-event pricing: $0.01 per Actor start plus result pricing from $0.00410 on FREE to $0.00369 on GOLD, PLATINUM, and DIAMOND plans.

Step 2: Configure and Run the Actor

Open Actor Input

Set the parameters, then click Start. For broad market scans, use a general keyword and a country-level location. For precise sourcing, use a role title plus a city or metro area.

Step 3: Download Your Data

Input Parameters

Required Configuration Fields

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
keyword	string	Yes	Job title, skill, company, or search keyword	"Full Stack Engineer"
country	select	Yes	Supported country	"United States"
max_results	integer	Yes	Maximum job records to extract, from 1 to 10,000	100
remote_only	boolean	No	Restrict results to remote listings	false
distance	integer	No	Search radius in miles around the location	50
location	string	No	City, state, province, or region	"Los Angeles, CA"
posted_since	datepicker	No	Relative or absolute posting date filter	"30 days"
job_type	select	No	Employment type filter	"fulltime"
currency	select	No	Target currency for salary normalization	"USD"

Example Input Configuration

{
  "keyword": "Full Stack Engineer",
  "country": "United States",
  "location": "Los Angeles, CA",
  "max_results": 100,
  "remote_only": false,
  "distance": 50,
  "posted_since": "30 days",
  "job_type": "fulltime",
  "currency": "USD"
}

Date Format Options

When posted_since is available for this actor, it accepts relative values such as 1 day, 7 days, 2 weeks, 3 months, or an absolute date such as 2026-05-01. If the parameter is not present in the input schema, the platform does not consistently expose a reliable date filter and the actor relies on source ordering or source-provided posted-date fields.

Location Formatting Best Practices

• Use city and region names when you need local results, such as New York, Bengaluru, or Toronto.
• Use broader country-level searches when you want maximum coverage for a keyword.
• For remote searches, use the dedicated remote_only parameter only when the actor exposes it. Otherwise, remote status is returned as an output signal when available.
• Keep keywords specific enough to avoid unrelated aggregator matches, but broad enough to return enough results for analysis.

Supported Countries for Job Scraping

This actor supports United States and Canada because the ZipRecruiter coverage is focused on those markets. Use location text such as city, state, province, metro area, or remote-related location strings to narrow the search.

Country-Aware Platform Routing

This is a single-platform actor. It does not search other job boards. If you need automatic routing across multiple sources, use All Jobs Scraper.

Output Data Schema

Structured Job Listing Data Fields

Each extracted ZipRecruiter job is stored as one dataset item. Field availability depends on what the source listing exposes, but the actor maps source data into a consistent job schema.

Job Metadata Fields

Field	Description
platform	Source platform label, usually ZipRecruiter
platform_url	ZipRecruiter job URL
title	Job position title
company_name	Hiring company name
company_url	Company URL when exposed
location	Job location text
posted_date	Date posted
description	Full job description when detail page data is accessible
job_type	Employment type
is_remote	Remote-work signal
salary_minimum	Minimum salary when available
salary_maximum	Maximum salary when available
salary_currency	Salary currency
salary_period	Salary interval such as yearly or hourly

Employment Details

Employment fields can include job_type, is_remote, experience, experience_range, job_level, job_function, requirements, skills, and screening_questions when the platform exposes those values. Empty fields usually mean the source listing did not publish that value.

Salary Information

Salary fields include salary_minimum, salary_maximum, salary_currency, and salary_period. Salary extraction is source-dependent. Many job boards do not require employers to publish salary ranges, so salary fields can be empty for otherwise valid jobs.

Company Data

Company fields can include company_name, company_url, company_logo, company_website, company_industry, company_rating, review_count, and related metadata when the platform returns those values. The actor avoids fabricating unavailable company data.

Example JSON Output

{
  "platform": "ZipRecruiter",
  "platform_url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.com/c/example/Job/example",
  "title": "Full Stack Engineer",
  "company_name": "Example Software",
  "location": "Los Angeles, CA",
  "posted_date": "2026-05-20",

FAQ

How do I scrape ZipRecruiter jobs with this actor?

Open the actor input page, set keyword, country, and max_results, add optional supported filters, and run the actor. Results are saved in the default Apify dataset.

What is included in each ZipRecruiter job record?

Typical records include title, company, location, platform URL, description, posting date, salary fields, remote signal, job type, and platform-specific metadata when available.

How many jobs can I extract per run?

The input schema allows up to 10,000 requested results. Actual output depends on source availability, keyword breadth, selected location, available result volume, and source availability.

Which countries are supported?

This actor supports United States and Canada because the ZipRecruiter coverage is focused on those markets. Use location text such as city, state, province, metro area, or remote-related location strings to narrow the search.

How fresh is the data?

The actor fetches live source results at run time. When a date filter is supported, use posted_since to target recent listings. Otherwise, use source-provided posted-date output fields for freshness analysis.

Why are some salary fields empty?

Salary fields are populated only when the source listing publishes salary information. Many employers do not include salary ranges in every job post.

Why are some company fields empty?

Company metadata depends on what the source returns for a listing. The actor maps available values and leaves unavailable fields empty instead of fabricating data.

Can I integrate this with Make, N8N, Zapier, or my own backend?

Yes. Use Apify integrations, automation modules, or dataset export URLs to send results into your workflow.

What if no jobs are found?

Try a broader keyword, remove narrow location filters, increase max_results, or use a country-level search. Some platforms may have limited inventory for niche keywords.

Is this compatible with AI frameworks?

Yes. The JSON output can be used with LangChain, vector databases, custom ranking systems, enrichment workflows, and internal recruitment agents.
