Indeed Scraper

Collect Indeed job listings by query, location, and filters — with optional full job descriptions.

Search Indeed the way you do in the browser and get the results back as clean, structured data. Paste ready-made Indeed search URLs or just type a query and location, apply date and sort filters, and export job title, company, location, salary, posting age, and an optional full job description to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

⚡ Quick start

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "New York",
  "maxItems": 10
}

🧩 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	no	—	Indeed search URLs to scrape (e.g. https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=software+engineer&l=New+York).
query	string	no	—	Job title or keywords. Used when no search URL is provided, or as a fallback.
location	string	no	—	Location to search in, e.g. New York or Remote.
datePosted	string	no	any	any, past-24h, past-3-days, past-week, or past-2-weeks.
sortBy	string	no	relevance	relevance or recent.
radius	integer	no	—	Distance from the location, in miles.
scrapeJobDetails	boolean	no	false	Open each job page to collect the full description. Slower and partly blocked by Indeed — see the FAQ.
maxItems	integer	no	10	Max jobs per search URL / query.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }	Proxy settings.

Provide either startUrls or a query / location — at least one is required.

📤 Output

Each dataset item is a single job listing. Every item carries the fields shown on the search results card. With scrapeJobDetails enabled, descriptionText and descriptionHtml are filled in as well — and stay null for any job whose page Indeed declined to serve, so no listing is ever dropped.

Fields

Field	Type	Description
jobKey	string	Indeed's unique identifier for the job.
title	string	Job title.
company	string	Hiring company name.
location	string	Job location.
salary	string	Salary text, when shown.
jobTypes	array	Employment types (e.g. Full-time).
postedAt	string	How recently the job was posted.
snippet	string	Short description preview from the search card.
isRemote	boolean	Whether the job is flagged remote.
jobUrl	string	Public Indeed job URL.
descriptionText	string	Full job description as plain text.
descriptionHtml	string	Full job description as HTML.

💡 Use cases

• Build and refresh a job board for a niche or region.
• Track hiring trends, salary ranges, and demand for specific roles.
• Feed structured job data into recruiting, sourcing, or market-research pipelines.
• Monitor competitors' open roles over time.

❓ FAQ

• Do I need a proxy? Yes. Indeed uses aggressive anti-bot protection; the Actor defaults to Apify residential proxies for reliable results.
• Can I scrape a specific search? Paste the Indeed search URL from your browser into startUrls and the Actor will reproduce it.
• Why is scrapeJobDetails off by default? Indeed protects individual job pages far more tightly than search pages, so a share of detail requests are refused however the Actor is proxied. With the option off, every run is fast and returns a complete list. Turn it on when you need descriptions and accept that some will come back empty — the listing itself is still returned.
• How many jobs can I get per search? The scraper paginates through Indeed's result pages until it reaches maxItems or runs out of results (Indeed typically exposes a few hundred per search). For very large needs, also run multiple narrower searches (by title, location, radius, or date) to widen coverage.
