FAQ

How many jobs can I get per search? Indeed gates anonymous access beyond roughly the first result page per query (~15–45 jobs including sponsored). To collect more, vary query, location, jobType, maxAgeDays and country across runs — this also yields broader, less-duplicated coverage.

Why should I use Residential proxies? Indeed is protected by Cloudflare and blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxies make requests look like real users and dramatically improve reliability.

Is the data fresh? Yes — every run fetches live pages directly from Indeed at run time.

Do I need an Indeed account or API key? No. The actor reads publicly visible job pages.

Is scraping Indeed legal? The actor collects only publicly available job postings. You are responsible for complying with Indeed's terms and applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Something broke — how fast is support? Report issues on the actor's Issues tab; fixes are typically shipped quickly.
