SimplyHired Jobs Scraper — US Job Listings

What does this actor do

SimplyHired Jobs Scraper collects publicly available job listings from simplyhired.com. It searches SimplyHired using the job title, keywords, and location you provide, then returns structured job listing data such as titles, companies, locations, descriptions, salaries, and application links.

The actor is intended for research, recruitment workflows, job market analysis, salary studies, and other use cases involving publicly listed US employment opportunities. Results are returned as individual dataset items, with one item representing a job listing found on SimplyHired.

Only publicly accessible listing information is collected. Use the actor in accordance with SimplyHired’s terms, applicable laws, and the rights of the websites and data subjects involved.

Input

The actor accepts a JSON input object with the following fields:

• search: Search terms used to find jobs, such as software engineer, registered nurse, or data analyst.
• location: US city, state, ZIP code, or other location text used to filter results.
• maxItems: Maximum number of job listings to return.
• proxyConfiguration: Optional Apify Proxy configuration used for requests.

Example input:

{
  "search": "software engineer",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "maxItems": 50
}

The maxItems value controls the maximum number of records saved to the dataset. If proxy settings are provided, they are used according to the actor’s Apify input configuration.

Output example

Each dataset item contains the scraped fields available for a SimplyHired job listing. A representative result looks like this:

{
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "Example Technology, Inc.",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "salary": "$140,000 - $180,000 a year",
  "jobType": "Full-time",
  "description": "Design, build, test, and maintain software applications and services. Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver reliable solutions.",
  "url": "https://www.simplyhired.com/job/example-job-id",
  "datePosted": "2 days ago",
  "source": "SimplyHired"
}

Fields may be absent or empty when the corresponding information is not published in the listing. Salary, employment type, posting date, and description formats depend on the source listing. The url field identifies the SimplyHired page for the job.
