Collect Indian Job Market Data Without An Official Naukri API

Naukri.com does not offer a public job-listing API. This actor crawls Naukri's public search results and, optionally, individual job pages, then returns every listing as one flat, normalized row. It handles pagination automatically (via maxItems / maxPagesPerSearch) and fans out across every keyword × city combination you provide. Because Naukri is protected by Akamai Bot Manager, the actor uses Playwright-based, Akamai-friendly techniques and Apify's residential proxy — set the proxy country to IN (India) for the most reliable results.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
searchKeywords	string/array	Yes	—	Job titles, skills, or roles to search, e.g. "data analyst" or ["java developer", "devops"]
locations	string/array	No	["india"]	City/area to narrow search, e.g. "bangalore", ["mumbai","pune"]; india searches all of India
maxItems	number	No	50	Max results across all searches; max 1000
includeJobDetails	boolean	No	true	Open each job's detail page for the full description, recruiter name and extra fields
maxPagesPerSearch	number	No	5	Max result pages per keyword×city search; max 50
maxConcurrency	number	No	2	Concurrent page requests; max 5
proxy	object	No	Apify residential	Use Apify residential (recommend countryCode: "IN") or your own proxies

Example Input

{
  "searchKeywords": "data analyst",
  "locations": ["bangalore", "mumbai", "pune"],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Output

Each scraped job is one dataset record. Core fields (from search results) include title, company, location, salary (INR), experience, skills, postedDate, jobUrl; with includeJobDetails: true you also get the full description, recruiter name, vacancyCount, company rating/review counts and more. Records are honest about salary — many Naukri postings do not disclose pay, and that is reflected in the output as given by the source.

Example Output

{
  "title": "Data Analyst",
  "company": "Tata Consultancy Services",
  "location": "Bangalore / Bengaluru",
  "salary": "4-8 LPA",
  "experience": "2-5 Yrs",
  "skills": ["SQL", "Python", "Power BI", "Excel"],
  "postedDate": "5 days ago",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.naukri.com/job-details/...",
  "recruiter": "Priya Sharma"
}

Scheduling, Monitoring & Automation

Recommended for real value: run on a weekly schedule (or daily for hiring-velocity tracking) to monitor new postings, salary shifts and skills demand over time. Results are available via the Apify API, can be streamed with webhooks, and export directly to CSV/JSON/Excel for your spreadsheets, dashboards, or ATS/CRM.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the Naukri API?

Naukri.com has no public API for job listings. This actor delivers the same structured data by crawling the public site, and it solves the two things that make manual Naukri scraping hard: Akamai Bot Manager protection (handled via Playwright stealth) and rate/geo blocking (handled via India residential proxies). You get a clean, normalized India jobs dataset without maintaining a scraping stack.

What are the alternatives to this actor?

• Naukri alternatives on Apify include several community Naukri scrapers and the global LinkedIn Jobs Scraper and Indeed Job Scraper for broader job coverage.
• To extend Indian coverage you can combine this actor with a company-ratings source (the output already includes company rating/review counts).

How do I benchmark Indian salaries from Naukri data?

Aggregate the salary (INR) and experience fields by job title and city across a large run (e.g. maxItems: 1000) to build salary bands. Note many Indian employers do not disclose pay, so use disclosed ranges alongside skills and seniority as the salary signal.

How do I find in-demand skills in the Indian job market?

Run a high maxItems search across the skill keywords you care about (or broad role titles) and analyze the skills arrays to see which technologies appear most across active postings.

How do I bypass Naukri Akamai bot protection?

The actor handles Akamai automatically with Playwright-based stealth. Use Apify residential proxy with countryCode: "IN" for the most reliable results; non-India traffic is scored more harshly.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Extracts structured Indian job listings from Naukri.com and returns one record per job (title, company, location, salary INR, experience, skills, postedDate, jobUrl, optional full description + recruiter).

Minimal working input (searchKeywords is the only required field):

{ "searchKeywords": "data analyst", "maxItems": 50 }

Typical input (multi-city research):

{ "searchKeywords": ["java developer", "devops"], "locations": ["bangalore", "pune"], "maxItems": 500, "includeJobDetails": true }

Output fields: title, company, location, salary, experience, skills, postedDate, jobUrl (search level); plus description, recruiter, vacancyCount, company rating and review counts when includeJobDetails: true.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• searchKeywords is required — the actor will not run without it.
• maxItems caps the whole run (default 50, max 1000); leave unset for quick preview, raise for a full dataset. Each returned job is billed.
• locations defaults to ["india"] (all of India); pass specific cities for targeted data.
• includeJobDetails: true (default) opens each job's detail page — more accurate but slower/more requests; set false for fast bulk search summaries.
• Use Apify residential proxy with countryCode: "IN" for the most reliable results against Naukri's Akamai protection.
• Salary is often not disclosed by Indian employers on Naukri; treat salary as source-provided, not guaranteed.

Billing: pay-per-result at $0.005 per job (~$5 per 1,000 jobs), plus a small start event fee.
