This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## Naukrigulf Jobs Scraper
Scrape job listings from **Naukrigulf.com** — the Gulf edition of Info Edge's Naukri, the leading job board for jobseekers and recruiters across the **UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait**, and the wider Gulf region.
### Features
- **Search by keyword and location** — enter any job title, skill, or role (e.g. `accountant`, `sales executive`, `civil engineer`) and filter by city (e.g. `Dubai`, `Abu Dhabi`, `Riyadh`) or leave blank for all-Gulf results.
- **Multiple keywords** — supply a list; each keyword is scraped independently in sequence.
- **Paginated results** — configure how many pages to fetch per keyword.
- **Rich structured output** — every job record includes: job ID, designation, location, company (name + ID), experience range, vacancies, direct job URL, latest posted date, keyword tags, and (when available) a full HTML job description.
- **Deduplicated by design** — every job is counted and charged once per run, even if the source lists it on more than one result page.
- **No login required** — uses Naukrigulf's public-facing search API; no Naukrigulf account needed.
- **Pay per job delivered** — PPE pricing, you only pay for actual results.
### How to Use
1. Open the actor in Apify Store and click **Try for free**.
2. Set `searchKeywords` — a list of job titles or skills (e.g. `["accountant", "sales executive"]`).
3. Set `location` — city filter (e.g. `Dubai`, `Abu Dhabi`, `Riyadh`). Leave as `dubai` (default) or clear it for broader Gulf-region results.
4. Adjust `maxItems` and `maxPages` to control output volume.
5. Leave the proxy on the default **Apify RESIDENTIAL** group with **country AE (UAE)** — this is required for reliable access to Naukrigulf.
6. Click **Start** and collect results from the **Dataset** tab.
### Input Example
```json
{
"searchKeywords": ["accountant", "sales executive"],
"location": "dubai",
"maxItems": 100,
"maxPages": 5,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true,
"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
"apifyProxyCountry": "AE"
}
}
````
### Output Example
Each item in the dataset looks like this:
```json
{
"job_id": "100726001097",
"designation": "GP Dermatologist",
"location": "Dubai - United Arab Emirates (UAE)",
"job_info": "Diagnose and treat skin conditions, perform dermatological procedures, and develop treatment plans; requires a Medical Degree and residency in Dermatology.",
"description": "- Diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of skin conditions...
",
"experience": { "min": 4, "max": 8 },
"company": { "name": "Talent Shark HR Consultancy L.L.C", "id": "208463", "url": null },
"jd_url": "https://www.naukrigulf.com/gp-dermatologist-jobs-in-dubai-uae-...",
"latest_posted_date": "1783828800",
"vacancies": 1,
"keywords": "Skin Specialist,Dermatologist,Skin Doctor,Dermatology",
"keyword_query": "accountant",
"scraped_at": "2026-07-20T05:54:02Z"
}
```
### Pricing
This actor uses **pay-per-event (PPE)** billing: you are charged per job listing delivered to the dataset.
- **$9.00 per 1,000 jobs** (i.e., $0.009 per job).
- Example: scraping 200 accountant jobs in Dubai = ~$1.80.
- Example: scraping 2,000 jobs across 5 keywords in Riyadh = ~$18.00.
- Compute costs (Apify platform usage, proxy) are charged separately on your Apify account.
### Use Cases
- **Talent market research** — track which companies are hiring, for what roles, and how many vacancies are open in a given Gulf city.
- **Recruitment lead generation** — find employers actively hiring in your target market or industry.
- **Salary and demand benchmarking** — aggregate role/experience-range data across thousands of live postings.
- **Competitive intelligence** — monitor competitor hiring activity across UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Gulf.
- **Job-board aggregation** — feed Gulf-region listings into your own job-search product or dashboard.
### FAQ
**Does it require a Naukrigulf account?**
No. The scraper uses Naukrigulf's public-facing search API. No login, no account, no credentials needed from you.
**Which countries does it cover?**
Naukrigulf covers the Gulf region — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait. Set `location` to a specific city, or leave it broad for wider results.
**Why is `description` sometimes empty?**
Description is fetched from a separate per-job detail page after the initial search. On rare occasions the detail fetch fails for an individual listing (network hiccup, listing removed) — the core fields (designation, location, company, experience, vacancies) are always preserved regardless.
**Can I get duplicate jobs?**
No. The actor deduplicates by job ID across pages and keywords within a single run, so you're never charged twice for the same listing.
**Is this legal?**
This actor scrapes **publicly visible job listings** only — the same data any anonymous visitor sees on Naukrigulf.com. No authentication is required, no private data is accessed. Use of this data is subject to Naukrigulf's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. The actor is intended for research, analysis, and legitimate business intelligence purposes.
**What proxy group should I use?**
Keep the default: Apify **RESIDENTIAL** group with **country AE (UAE)**. Naukrigulf only lets UAE-based residential IPs through reliably to the public search API, so this is the configuration the actor is built and tested for. Proxy costs are billed to your Apify account at Apify's standard rates.
### More scrapers from our toolkit
Building a data pipeline? These actors pair well with this one — each runs on your own Apify account with the same pay-per-result pricing, no subscription:
- [Naukri Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/bovi/naukri-jobs-scraper)
- [Seek Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/bovi/seek-jobs-scraper)

- [Workable Job Scraper](https://apify.com/bovi/workable-job-scraper)
Chain any of them together from the **Integrations** tab (the *Run succeeded* trigger) to build a multi-step workflow — one actor's output feeds the next.
