LinkedIn Jobs Scraper & API 💼

Extract LinkedIn job postings at scale — title, company, location, full description, seniority, employment type, job function, and industry — filtered by keyword, location, and date posted. Power your job board, track hiring trends, source candidates, or give your AI agents live job data. No login required.

Search by keyword and location (any city, region, or country resolves automatically), get back clean structured JSON. Run it as a one-off batch job, schedule it, or turn it into a real-time API your apps and AI agents can call.

🤖 Use it as a real-time API / AI agent tool

Enable Standby mode and the Actor stays warm, answering HTTP requests instantly — perfect for AI agents, RAG pipelines, and apps that need live job data:

💸 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Empty results aren't charged. You also pay Apify's standard platform usage for the run.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No — public job listings work with no login. Provide LinkedIn cookies only if you want to reach login-gated listings and additional fields.

Which locations are supported? Any location LinkedIn recognizes — cities, regions, metro areas, and countries all resolve automatically, so you can search Berlin, Greater London, Austin, Texas, or Canada.

How fresh are the results? Use posted_date = past_24_hrs or past_week for the newest listings, and order_by = posted_date to sort by most recent.

Can my AI agent call this automatically? Yes — run it in Standby mode and connect via the Apify MCP server. Agents get a typed, live job-search tool.

Is scraping LinkedIn legal? You are responsible for how you use scraped data. Scrape only publicly available information and comply with LinkedIn's terms and applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
