Key features

• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any shine URL straight from your browser — single-listing pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Mix freely with keyword and IDs in the same run; results dedupe by ID.
• 🎯 Batch searches — pass ["term1", "term2"] for query, location, or city to batch multiple searches in one run — shared dedup state, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
• 📧 Email + phone extraction — best-effort regex extraction of contact emails and phone numbers from descriptions — emitted as extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] on every record.
• 🔗 URL + social-profile extraction — every record carries extractedUrls[] plus a structured socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok, github, xing } parsed from the description.
• 📦 Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification — each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired. Repost detection flags previously-expired listings that come back.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.
• 📝 Description format selection — pick a single description representation — text, html, or markdown — and the unused variants are dropped from each record. Halves payload size when your pipeline only consumes one format.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records (UNCHANGED + EXPIRED opt-in). Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.

What data can you extract from shine.com?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, jobKey, title, location, locations, salaryText, salaryMin, and salaryMax, and more), extended fields (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), apply information (applyUrl), and company metadata (company, clientCompany, companyId, and companyLogo). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords. Use JSON array for multi-query.
• country — Which shine.com market to search. (default: "IN")
• location — City, state, or region. Use JSON array for multi-location.
• startUrls — Direct search or job detail URLs.
• maxResults — Maximum total job listings to return (0 = unlimited). (default: 25)
• maxPages — Maximum result pages to fetch per search. (default: 5)
• experience — Filter by required years of experience.
• salaryBand — Filter by annual salary band (Indian Lakh brackets).
• experienceFrom — Keep only jobs whose required experience overlaps this minimum (in years). Precise range filter applied to each job's parsed experience — finer than the band selector above.
• experienceTo — Keep only jobs whose required experience overlaps this maximum (in years). Combine with Experience From for an exact range, e.g. 4 to 7 years.
• industryId — Advanced. Restrict results to a specific industry id (e.g. "18" for IT Services & Consulting).
• includeRecruiterContact — Add the recruiter's phone and email to each record where the listing provides them. Off by default — these are personal contact details, so enable only if you have a lawful basis to process them. (default: false)
• ...and 22 more parameters

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape shine.com?

Shine Job Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Per result: $0.00079 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.0084

• 100 results: $0.08
• 200 results: $0.16
• 500 results: $0.4

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.08	$0.00445	$0.08 (94%)	$0.13
15% — moderate broad query	$0.08	$0.01	$0.07 (84%)	$0.37
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.08	$0.02	$0.06 (70%)	$0.73

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $2.39. First month with incremental costs $0.21 / $0.44 / $0.78 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
