Indeed Job Scraper - Job Listings, Salaries and Company Data

The Indeed Job Scraper collects job listings from Indeed with job title, company, location, salary, job type, experience level, skills, description, benefits, remote model and company details. Search by keyword and location across Indeed country domains and export clean job-market data.

Use it for job-market research, salary benchmarking, hiring-intelligence dashboards, recruiting pipelines, competitor hiring analysis and AI job-matching workflows. The Actor prefers Indeed's mobile GraphQL API and falls back to public search pages if needed, so it can return structured data without manually browsing each result.

Main Use Cases for Indeed Job Data

• Job market research - measure demand for roles, skills and experience levels in a city or country.
• Salary benchmarking - collect advertised salary ranges and compare them across companies and locations.
• Recruiting and sourcing - build job feeds with title, company, location, skills and application URLs.
• Competitor hiring analysis - track which companies are hiring for which roles and where.
• Skills and trend analysis - aggregate skills, jobType, experienceLevel and remoteModel.
• Job board and alert products - power search experiences, alerts and recommendation engines.
• AI career assistants - give an LLM structured job records for matching, summarization and gap analysis.

How It Works

Provide a search query and location. The Actor calls Indeed's mobile-app GraphQL backend with cursor pagination, maps each job into a flat record and writes it to the dataset. If the API path is unavailable, it falls back to public Indeed search pages and parses the embedded job data.

The primary API path returns up to 100 jobs per page. Indeed repeats some listings across cursor pages, so the Actor may fetch extra pages to reach maxItems without returning duplicates. country selects the Indeed domain, such as com, co.uk, ca, de, fr, au or in.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	What it does
searchQuery	string	Yes	software engineer	Job title or keyword to search for.
location	string	No	New York, NY	City, state, region or Remote.
country	string	No	com	Indeed country domain suffix: com, ca, co.uk, de, fr, au, in and similar.
maxItems	integer	No	50	Maximum job records, from 1 to 1,000.
maxPages	integer	No	5	Maximum search pages, from 1 to 100. Each page can return up to 100 jobs.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Apify Proxy enabled	Proxy settings. Indeed blocks many datacenter IPs, so Apify Proxy is recommended.

searchQuery is the only required field. The Actor may fetch up to 50% extra pages beyond maxPages to compensate for duplicate listings and reach maxItems. The run stops as soon as the item cap is reached.

Output

The dataset contains 23 fields per job.

Field	Type	Description
jk	string	Indeed job key. Useful for deduplication.
jobTitle	string	Job title.
company	string	Hiring company name.
companyUrl	string	Company profile URL on Indeed.
companyWebsite	string	Company website when available.
companyLogo	string	Company logo URL.
companyIndustry	string	Company industry when published.
companySize	string	Company size band, such as 10,000+.
companyDescription	string	Company description when available.
companyAddresses	string	Company address information.
applyUrl	string	Application or original job URL.
location	string	Job location.
salary	string	Advertised salary text, for example $207,000 - $300,000 a year.
jobType	string	Employment type, such as Full-time or Contract.
experienceLevel	string	Experience level, such as Senior level.
skills	string[]	Skills extracted from the listing.
jobDescription	string	Full or partial job description.
postedDate	string	Publication date or relative age as provided by Indeed.
companyRating	number	Indeed company rating when available.
benefits	string[]	Benefits mentioned in the listing.
remoteModel	string	Remote, hybrid or on-site model when provided.
url	string	Canonical Indeed job URL.
dateScraped	string	UTC ISO 8601 collection timestamp.

Salary is captured as text because Indeed often publishes ranges, periods and currency in a single string. Parse it before using it in numeric comparisons. skills, benefits and remoteModel may be empty or null when the listing does not provide them.

Pricing

Pricing uses pay-per-event billing: a small start event per run plus one result event per job written.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD	PLATINUM	DIAMOND
Actor start, per run	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005
Job result	$0.00009	$0.00009	$0.000085	$0.00008	$0.00008	$0.00008

That is $0.08-$0.09 per 1,000 jobs. Free users receive the first 10 jobs as a preview. Paid runs can request up to 1,000 jobs.

FAQ

Does Indeed have an official public API?

This Actor uses the mobile-app GraphQL path first and public search pages as a fallback. It does not require an Indeed employer account or a developer API key from you.

Why is salary a string?

Indeed publishes salary as a human-readable range with currency and period. The Actor preserves that text so no precision or context is lost. Parse it into a numeric range in your own pipeline.

What does country change?

It selects the Indeed country domain and affects the jobs returned, currency context and localized listing data. Use the suffix, such as com or co.uk, not a full URL.

Why do some jobs have no skills or benefits?

Not every listing includes structured skills or benefits. The Actor returns empty arrays or nulls when the source does not provide them.

Are duplicate jobs removed?

The Actor tracks jobs across cursor pages and stops when the item cap is reached. Indeed can still repeat listings across searches; use jk to deduplicate across datasets.

How many jobs can one run collect?

Paid runs support up to 1,000 jobs, controlled by maxItems. Free users receive the first 10 jobs as a preview.

For AI Agents and LLM Apps

The Actor is callable through the Apify MCP server and the Apify API. It returns flat job records with company, salary, skills and application links.

Minimal input

{
  "searchQuery": "software engineer",

• skills and benefits are arrays and may be empty.
• jobDescription can contain HTML entities from the source.
• postedDate may be relative, such as 2 days ago, rather than an ISO date.
• maxItems is capped at 1,000; maxPages is capped at 100.
• searchQuery is required.
