Indeed Job Scraper

What is Indeed Job Scraper?

Indeed Job Scraper gets you Indeed listings with the whole advert on each row for $0.08 per 1,000 jobs. That's the Free plan price, and it's all you pay. There's no second step or second charge to fetch descriptions: the text arrives with the listing.

Enter a job title and a place, pick one of 16 national Indeed sites, and run it. Four London searches returned 1,642 jobs in 12 to 18 seconds.

Three more things you'd want to know when comparing:

• You can tell a stated salary from a guess. Each pay figure is marked as the employer's own or Indeed's estimate, and you can ask for employer-stated pay only.
• A missing tag is never turned into "no". The full-time, part-time, contract and internship flags are empty when Indeed has no job-type tag for the job.
• Two links per job. One is Indeed's page for the job. The other is the employer's application page, where Indeed links out.

BonCross Verified means we tested this actor against the live site before release and kept the record:

• 22 of 22 live checks on its inputs and filters passed on 7 October 2026
• 5 markets run the same day, the US, Germany, Japan, France and India: 165 jobs, none empty

How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

Event	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
actor-start, per run	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001
search-run, per search the run starts	$0	$0	$0	$0
job-listed, per job row written	$0.00008	$0.000072	$0.000064	$0.00006

Enterprise plans pay the Business price.

$0.08 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan, $0.06 on Business. Proxy usage and platform usage are included, and the price is the same with the advert text on or off.

Four searches in London returning 1,642 jobs: $0.001 + 1,642 × $0.00008 = $0.13236 ($0.0995 on Business).

You aren't charged for a job that's filtered out before it's written, or for an error row.

At 200 jobs a run, the $5 of monthly credits on Apify's Free plan covers about 290 runs. That's about 59,000 jobs.

How to scrape Indeed jobs

1. Sign up for Apify. The free plan is enough to try this.
2. Open Indeed Job Scraper.
3. Type a job title or keyword and a location, then choose the Indeed country.
4. Set how many jobs you want per search, and for the run if you'd like a ceiling.
5. Press Start. A 25-job search took 4 seconds.
6. Download the results as Excel, CSV or JSON.

⬇️ Input

A keyword, a location, or both. The country defaults to the United Kingdom.

"Max rows per search" (default 200) caps each search. Set it to 0 to take everything Indeed offers, which is roughly 1,000 a search. "Max rows in total" (default 0, no ceiling) caps the run.

"More searches" takes extra keywords that share your location. Through the API, an entry can be an object with a keyword and location of its own, as in the third example.

Paralegal jobs in London

{
  "keyword": "paralegal",
  "location": "London",
  "country": "GB",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 200
}

Remote roles paying £40,000 or more, employer-stated salaries only

{
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "country": "GB",
  "onlyRemote": true,
  "onlyEmployerStatedPay": true,
  "minPay": 40000
}

Several searches in different cities

{
  "searches": [
    { "keyword": "paralegal", "location": "London" },
    { "keyword": "legal secretary", "location": "Manchester" }
  ],
  "country": "GB",
  "maxItems": 500
}

A smaller dataset with no advert text

{
  "keyword": "data analyst",
  "location": "New York",
  "country": "US",
  "includeDescription": false
}

The remaining settings are optional:

• Search area. "Search radius" (default 25) and its unit, miles or kilometres (miles by default).
• Filters. "Exclude expired listings" is on by default. "Only remote jobs", "Only employer-stated pay" and "Minimum pay" narrow further.
• What each row includes. "Include job description" (on by default) is the advert as plain text. "Include description HTML" (off by default) adds the advert with its formatting and makes rows a good deal bigger.

For developers

• Keys: keyword, location, country, searches, maxItemsPerSearch, maxItems, radius, radiusUnit (MILES or KILOMETERS), excludeExpired, onlyRemote, onlyEmployerStatedPay, minPay, includeDescription, includeDescriptionHtml, maxConcurrency, delayMs.
• Indeed returns up to 100 jobs a page and stops at roughly 1,000 per search.
• When your filters keep nothing (a pay floor no advert reaches, say), a search stops early: after 5 pages in a row with no job kept, or after about three times the pages the remaining row limit needs.
• maxConcurrency (default 4, from 1 to 32) is the number of parallel requests. delayMs (default 0, up to 500) pauses before each one.
• With both description outputs off, the advert text isn't downloaded at all, which is why those runs are several times faster.
• If Apify moves a run to another server part-way through, it resumes where it stopped. You won't get or pay for a job twice.

⬆️ Output

You get one row per job. The Overview view shows title, employer, location, salary and dates. The full record has the advert text, the structured address and the job attributes. If you switched on the HTML option, the advert is in descriptionHtml as well.

Column	Meaning
url	Indeed's own page for the job, so rows can be matched against Indeed
applyUrl	Where the employer takes applications, where Indeed links out
companyUrl, companySize, companyIndustry, companyLogo	The employer's Indeed profile, size band, industry and logo, where Indeed has them
companyIndustryCode	Indeed's own code for the industry, beside the readable name
postedAt, listedAt	When the employer published the job, and when it appeared on Indeed
isExpired	The job is closed
isFullTime, isPartTime, isContract, isInternship	From Indeed's job-type tags: empty when the job carries none, so a missing tag is never read as "no"
isRemote	True where Indeed tags the job remote, otherwise empty
paySource	EMPLOYER_PROVIDED for a stated salary, ESTIMATED for Indeed's own estimate
search	The search that found the job

How many Indeed jobs can you get, and how fast?

Run	Jobs returned	Time
Paralegal in London, 25 jobs	25	4 seconds
Three searches in London, up to 300 each	741	7-97 seconds
Six searches across five cities, up to 200 each	913	18-77 seconds
Sixteen searches, one page each	1,340	18-56 seconds
Four searches in London, up to 500 each	1,642	12-18 seconds
Three searches in London, up to 300 each, advert text off	742	2-4 seconds

Your searches run several at a time. Indeed's own response time swings a lot from hour to hour, which is why one run can take a few times longer at a busy moment. The ranges above show it.

On a 50-row run, the job key, title, links, location, city, region, country, both dates, the attributes, the advert text and the expired flag were on every row. The employer name was on 48, the job-type flags on 41 (the others had no job-type tag), salary on 22, company size on 26, postcode on 30 and employer industry on 11. All 22 salaries were employer-stated. With the advert text included, rows averaged 5 KB and adverts 3,588 characters.

What Indeed limits

• About 1,000 results per search. Indeed stops issuing more. Narrow your search, or add searches.
• No sorting. Indeed accepts a sort setting and ignores it, so you won't find one in the form.
• Salary only where there is one. It's present when the employer published it or Indeed estimated it, and the row says which.
• Employer industry and size are patchy. They're Indeed's own enrichment and many employers lack them.
• isRemote is true or empty, never false.
• applyUrl doesn't contain the job key. It's the employer's page. url is always Indeed's.
• A few adverts end in an ellipsis. They arrive shortened in Indeed's own data.
• A stray corrupted character is removed. A small number of adverts contain a character the employer's system had already broken before Indeed stored it.
• No applications. The actor reads jobs. It can't apply for them.

FAQ

Can I search outside the United Kingdom?

Set "Indeed country" to any of the 16 markets: GB, US, CA, IE, AU, NZ, DE, FR, NL, ES, IT, SE, PL, IN, SG or JP. Give a location in that country, in whatever form you'd type it into Indeed there.

How do I get more than 1,000 jobs for a role?

Break the search up. "Nurse" in ten cities is ten searches with ten ceilings. The search column on each row tells you which search found it.

Why is the salary empty on some jobs?

The employer didn't publish one and Indeed had no estimate. On our 50-row test, 22 jobs had a figure.

Why are there two links?

url is Indeed's page for the job, which lets you match rows against Indeed. applyUrl is where a candidate ends up when they apply.

Does turning the description off make it cheaper?

It makes the run faster and the dataset smaller. The number of jobs and the charges stay the same.

Do I need a proxy or an Indeed account?

You don't need an account, and the proxy usage is included in the price. There's nothing to set up.

Is scraping Indeed legal?

The actor reads job adverts that employers publish openly, without logging in. Collecting data that's published to everyone is generally lawful in the UK and the EU. Your use of it is your responsibility, UK GDPR included if a record identifies a person.

Pipelines, API and agents

At this price people tend to pull whole markets: a schedule per city or per role, with a webhook delivering each dataset to a warehouse, or the Google Sheets and Airbyte integrations doing it for you. Salary benchmarks should filter on paySource to keep stated figures only.

From code, call Apify's run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint for this actor and the rows come back in the response. apify-client is available for Python and JavaScript, and the API tab on the actor's page has the reference with your token filled in.

Connect an MCP-capable AI client to https://mcp.apify.com and the actor becomes a tool an agent can call, for example to collect this week's remote data analyst roles and compare the stated pay.
