India Jobs API - JobsIndex by Aspen Tech Labs

Access India's job market at scale through the JobsIndex API. This Actor delivers clean, structured job posting data covering 330,000+ active jobs in India, including 280,000 sourced directly from employer career sites and ATS platforms. The remaining jobs come from recruitment agencies.

Coverage spans 7,200+ tracked employers, from large multinational and Indian companies such as Accenture, Infosys, Amazon, Marriott, American Express, Novartis, and Visa to small and medium-sized businesses across the country.

The leading job categories are information technology, business services, sales, and engineering, followed by retail, with additional coverage across marketing, administrative support, HR, and more. Each record includes standardized fields such as job title, company, location, description, employment type, category, posting date, and application URL. The dataset is updated daily.

Use this Actor as an organic backfill layer for job boards, as ground truth for job-candidate matching models, or as a signal source for labor market research and tracking which employers are actively hiring or expanding in India. Narrow results by role, company, category, location, salary, posting age, employment type, remote status, or seniority. Run it on demand or schedule daily runs.

Advanced Job Filtering

what supports plain text, boolean logic, exact phrases, and field-targeted search.

what = engineer OR manager
what = @title engineer
what = @(title,description) (python AND developer)

Structured job filters such as title, company_name, category, or sub_category can override or narrow overlapping terms in what.

Location Filtering

The country is fixed to India. Narrow results with the structured region, city, postal_code, and metro_area fields.

Salary Filter Format

Use NUMBER[UNIT] or NUMBER[UNIT]-NUMBER[UNIT]. Supported units are h, d, w, m, and y.

Examples: 500h, 50000m, 500000y-1500000y.

Limits and Pagination

This Actor uses the JobsIndex jobs API. Results are paginated with page and size.

Parameter	Default	Min	Max
page	0	0	Depends on size and the item cap
size	5	1	100

Invalid page or size values can return 400 Invalid page or size parameters.

Item Caps

Query shape	Max items	Effective max size	Over-size behavior
No company filter	1000	100	Validation error; not silently capped
Company filter plus another filter	20	20	Silent cap with capping metadata
Company filter only	5	5	Silent cap with capping metadata

A company filter means company_name or company_domain.

When capping applies, response metadata includes size_requested and size_capped_by. The value is "company" for the 5-item cap or "company|keywords" for the 20-item cap. These fields are absent from uncapped responses.

No-company-filter requests are not silently capped. Requests beyond the 1000-item retrieval window can return 400 Item limit reached. Maximum of 1000 items can be retrieved.

Free-Text Query Limits

The optional user-facing what query is subject to JobsIndex free-text limits:

Limit	Value	Error behavior
Raw URL length before decoding	700 characters	400 parameter exceeds 700 characters
Decoded text length	500 characters	400 MATCH input exceeds length limit
Combined operator characters: ?, +, pipe, @	20	400 Too many MATCH operators
Unsafe SQL-like keywords	blocked	400 Unsafe MATCH expression

Field Validation

Invalid filter values can return 400 Invalid value for parameter: <name>. Common validation examples include malformed company domains, invalid dates or relative posted values, invalid salary format, unsupported location formats, or overly long field values.
