Cutshort Jobs Scraper

Extract Cutshort job listings for India tech and startup jobs — salaries in lakhs, required skills, experience range, remote type and full descriptions — into a clean structured dataset, no account and no official API needed.

Main Use Cases

• Salary benchmarking for India tech roles — compare salary ranges (parsed to numeric lakhs) across companies, cities and skills.
• Startup jobs pipeline for recruiters — monitor new tech & startup job postings from India's curated hiring platform (4M+ developers).
• Hiring-signal & recruitment research — track which companies are hiring, for which roles and skills, over time.
• Skills-demand analysis — see required skills and experience ranges per job category (e.g. video editing, remote, design).
• AI & agent-friendly job datasets — structured JSON job records ready for RAG pipelines, LLM apps and recruitment tech.

How It Works

This Cutshort scraper reads Cutshort's own internal JSON API (the same backend the website renders) plus the public job sitemap it exposes to search engines (~43,000 job URLs). Category/tag listing pages are paginated automatically at 50 jobs per request, and each job's full structured record — salary, skills, experience, location, description — is returned as clean JSON. No browser, no anti-bot headaches, and ~10x lower compute cost than a browser-based scraper.

Build India Tech Job Databases Without an Official API Alternative

Cutshort's official developer API (developers.cutshort.io) is aimed at employers searching candidate profiles. It does not expose the public job-listing dataset this actor reads. If you need job listings — title, company, salary range, skills, experience, remote type, posted date and description — without an official API alternative, this actor extracts exactly that surface from the public sitemap and listing pages.

Track Startup Jobs & Salary Benchmarks Across Indian Tech

Turn Cutshort into a salary-benchmarking and hiring-signal feed:

• Salary benchmarking — each job record includes salaryRange as a raw string and salaryMinLakhs / salaryMaxLakhs as parsed numeric bounds for analysis.
• Company intelligence — company, companyStage (e.g. Funded, Profitable), companyFounded.
• Hiring signals — postedDate, roleTypes, remoteType, experienceLabel let you track who is hiring, and when.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
startUrls	array	No	https://cutshort.io/jobs/video-editing-jobs	Cutshort job URLs to scrape. Supports individual job pages (/job/...) and category/tag listing pages (/jobs/...) with automatic pagination. Clear this field to auto-discover all live jobs from the Cutshort sitemap.
maxItems	integer	No	100	Maximum number of jobs to scrape (max 50,000). Free users are capped at 10 items per run.
proxy	object	No	off	Standard Apify proxy picker. Off by default — Cutshort's API works without a proxy.

Scrape Category & Tag Listings With Automatic Pagination

Paste any Cutshort listing URL into startUrls and the actor pages through every job in that category automatically — 50 jobs per request against the listing API. Examples: https://cutshort.io/jobs/remote-jobs (remote jobs) or https://cutshort.io/jobs/video-editing-jobs (245+ video editing jobs). Each listing request returns full job objects with no per-job round trip.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official Cutshort API?

Cutshort's official API (developers.cutshort.io) targets employers searching candidate profiles — it does not provide the public job-listing data this actor extracts, and it requires an account and API key. This actor reads the public sitemap and Cutshort's internal JSON API, so you get structured job listings with no account, no API key and no per-job browser rendering.

What are alternatives to this actor / Cutshort jobs data?

• Other Cutshort scrapers on Apify: thirdwatch/cutshort-jobs-scraper, getascraper/cutshort-scraper, themineworks/cutshort-jobs-scraper.
• Broad Indian job-board data: Indeed, Naukri and Monster scrapers (search the Store for "jobs India").
• Cutshort's own candidate-search API for employer-side recruiting workflows.

How can I scrape India tech jobs with salary data?

Use startUrls with a category listing (e.g. https://cutshort.io/jobs/video-editing-jobs) or clear it for the full sitemap, then analyze salaryMinLakhs / salaryMaxLakhs and experienceLabel per role. See the tasks on this actor page for ready-made "salary benchmarking" and "hiring feed" configurations.

What is the best way to monitor startup hiring trends?

Schedule this actor daily via Apify's scheduler and diff postedDate between runs — you get a clean hiring-signal timeline of companies, roles, skills and salary ranges across India's startup ecosystem.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

• Purpose: returns one structured job record per Cutshort tech/startup job listing (identity, company, salary in lakhs, skills, experience, location, description).
• Minimal input:

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://cutshort.io/jobs/video-editing-jobs" }], "maxItems": 100 }

• Variant input — full market snapshot (sitemap discovery):

{ "startUrls": [], "maxItems": 1000 }

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Empty startUrls triggers automatic discovery of all live jobs from the public sitemap (~43,000 URLs); a non-empty startUrls restricts scraping to those pages/URLs.
• maxItems is the hard cap — leave unset/100 for a bounded run; free-tier accounts are limited to 10 items.
• Only job listings are scraped — never candidate profiles, company reviews, or apply flows (not exposed by the API).
• Description is returned in both descriptionHtml and descriptionText.
• Billing: pay-per-result — $0.0015 per job record stored in the default dataset.
