Indeed Jobs Scraper

Collect structured job listing data from Indeed using direct search URLs or keyword-based searches. Paste the same links you use on the site — keywords, location, country, and filters — or build searches in the input form, and receive clean JSON records in your Apify dataset.

Use it for job market research, recruitment pipelines, competitive hiring analysis, salary benchmarking, and lead generation — without copying listings manually from search results.

What you get

Each saved row is one job listing, organized into clear sections:

Section	What it contains
Identity	Job ID, title, reference number, language, and links to the Indeed posting
company	Employer name, industry, size, rating, review count, logo, and profile link when Indeed publishes them
location	Formatted location plus city, region, state, country, postal code, and coordinates when available
salary	Display text, min/max range, currency, pay period, and whether the figure is estimated
Job details	Job types, shifts, skills, occupations, benefits, remote/hybrid/in-person flags
Hiring signals	Urgently hiring, high-volume hiring, apply counts, sponsored and new-job flags
Application	Apply URL (external employer site or Indeed apply flow when shown)
Description	Plain-text summary, full description, and HTML description when available
Timeline	Posted, listed-on-Indeed, and expiration dates
inputUrl	The search URL or keyword-built search that produced this job

Results stream to the dataset as jobs are collected, so you can preview progress before the run finishes.

Quick start on Apify

1. Open the Actor in the Apify Console.
2. Choose one or both input modes:
   • Indeed search URLs — paste links copied from Indeed after setting filters in your browser, or
   • Keyword searches — enter job title/keywords, country, and optional location (or enable remote jobs).
3. Set Maximum jobs (default 10) — this limit applies per search URL or keyword search.
4. For keyword searches only, adjust Sort jobs by and Date posted under search filters.
5. Click Start and open the Dataset tab when the run finishes.

How to get a search URL: Run a job search on Indeed (set keywords, location, country site, and any filters), then copy the URL from your browser address bar.

Example input (direct URL):

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://ca.indeed.com/jobs?q=full+stack+developer&l=Toronto%2C+ON&sort=date"
    }
  ],
  "maxJobs": 25
}

Example input (keyword search):

{
  "keywordSearches": [
    {
      "keywords": "software engineer",
      "country": "us",
      "location": "San Francisco, CA",
      "remoteJobs": false
    }
  ],
  "sort": "date",
  "datePosted": "7",
  "maxJobs": 50
}

---

Input parameters

Provide at least one Indeed search URL or one keyword search.

Indeed search URLs

Type	List of URLs
Format	Indeed job search pages (indeed.com/jobs?... or country sites such as ca.indeed.com/jobs?...)
Tip	Copy the URL directly from your browser after configuring filters on the site

URLs are processed exactly as provided — existing query parameters, filters, and sort order in the link are preserved. Search filters in the input form (sort, date posted) do not modify direct URLs.

Invalid or malformed URLs are skipped with a warning; other URLs in the same run can still succeed.

Keyword searches

Type	List of search rows
Required fields	Job title or keywords, Country
Optional fields	Location (city, region, state/province, or postal code)
Remote jobs	When enabled, searches for remote roles in the selected country and ignores the location field

Supported countries include United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, India, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

Sort jobs by

Type	Select
Options	Date (default), Relevance
Applies to	Keyword searches only

Date posted

Type	Select
Options	All dates (default), Last 24 hours, Last 3 days, Last 7 days, Last 14 days
Applies to	Keyword searches only

Maximum jobs

Type	Integer
Range	1 – 10,000
Default	10

Controls how many unique jobs are collected per search URL or keyword search. With multiple searches, total results can be up to this value multiplied by the number of searches.

For example, 3 searches with a limit of 50 can yield up to 150 jobs.

---

What you will see during a run

The run log is written for end users — progress messages describe collection activity only.

Typical messages:

• Starting scrape for N search URL(s) in parallel, up to M job(s) each.
• Collected 25 job(s). (after each search completes)
• Finished. Saved N job listing(s) to the dataset.

If a search returns no jobs or cannot be processed, you will see a warning for that search; other searches in the same run can still succeed.

On the Apify free plan, you may also see a short notice when free-tier limits apply (see Free plan limits).

Output overview

Dataset structure

• Results are saved to a single Apify dataset
• Each row is one job object with nested sections (company, location, salary, etc.)
• Use inputUrl on each row to see which search produced it

Field presence varies by listing: not every job includes salary, full description, employer ratings, or apply links to external sites. Empty arrays ([]) or null mean no data was published for that job — not necessarily an error.

If optional fields could not be retrieved for a job, check scrapeErrors for user-safe labels.

Combining direct URLs and keyword searches

You can use both input modes in a single run.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://ca.indeed.com/jobs?q=data+analyst&l=Vancouver%2C+BC&sort=date"
    }
  ],
  "keywordSearches": [
    {
      "keywords": "machine learning engineer",
      "country": "ca",
      "location": "Toronto, ON",
      "remoteJobs": false
    },
    {
      "keywords": "product manager",
      "country": "us",
      "remoteJobs": true
    }
  ],
  "sort": "date",
  "datePosted": "3",
  "maxJobs": 25
}

• Each search URL and keyword search is processed independently, up to Maximum jobs each
• The same job may appear more than once if it matches multiple searches
• Use inputUrl on each row to see which search produced it
• If one search fails or returns no results, others can still complete

---

Free plan limits

On the Apify free plan, the Actor may automatically apply:

Limit	Value
Direct search URLs per run	2 (only the first URLs in your list)
Keyword searches per run	2 (only the first searches in your list)
Maximum jobs per search	20

Paid Apify plans can use the full input without these caps. If limits apply, the run log will include a short notice.

---

Data quality and limitations

Public job listing data
The Actor reads the same job data shown on Indeed search results and job detail pages. It does not access private employer accounts or unpublished listings.

Coverage varies by listing and country
Salary, benefits, skills, employer ratings, and apply links are not always published. Some fields may be null or empty even when the job is live on Indeed.

Direct URLs vs keyword searches
Filters in the input form (sort, date posted) apply only to keyword searches. Direct URLs keep whatever filters are already in the link.

Active listings change
Jobs are posted, updated, filled, and removed on the live site. Re-run on a schedule to track changes over time.

Apply links
applyUrl points to the application destination when Indeed exposes it — either on Indeed or on an external employer site. Some listings only link to the Indeed job page.

Compliance
You are responsible for using collected data in line with applicable laws and Indeed's terms of service.

---

Tips for best results

1. Copy URLs from the site — Use real Indeed search URLs after setting keywords, location, and filters in the browser.
2. Use keyword searches for quick setup — Enter title, country, and location without building URLs manually.
3. Start with a small maxJobs — Test your search with 10–20 jobs before large exports.
4. Use multiple searches for coverage — Run separate keyword or URL searches in one job to compare roles, cities, or countries.
5. Filter in the dataset — Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, then filter on title, company.name, location.formatted, salary.display, or remote.
6. Schedule recurring runs — Use Apify schedules to monitor new postings or track hiring trends over time.
7. Join on inputUrl — When combining results from multiple searches, keep the search URL to avoid confusion.
8. Deduplicate on id — The same job can appear in multiple searches; use the Indeed job id to deduplicate if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my search URL skipped?
The URL may not be a valid Indeed job search page, or it could not be processed in that run. Check the run log for warnings.

Why do sort and date posted not affect my direct URL?
Direct URLs are scraped exactly as provided. Use Keyword searches if you want to control sort and date posted from the input form.

Why is salary null?
Many employers do not publish salary on Indeed. When a range is shown on the site, it appears in salary.display and structured min/max fields when available.

Why is description empty but summary has text?
The search snippet may be available even when the full job page could not be loaded. Check scrapeErrors.jobDetails for context.

Why are company rating and website null?
Employer profile fields depend on what Indeed publishes for that employer on the job listing. Not every company has a full Indeed profile.

What does remote: true mean?
The listing is marked as a remote role on Indeed. Hybrid and in-person roles use workLocationType instead.

Will the same job appear twice?
Yes, if you use multiple search URLs or keyword searches that both return the same listing. Deduplicate using id if needed.

Can I scrape a single job by URL?
This Actor is built for search URLs and keyword searches. Use a search that returns the jobs you need, or include a direct search URL filtered to your target role and location.

Which Indeed country sites are supported?
Keyword searches support 32 countries listed in the input form. Direct URLs work on any Indeed country site that uses standard /jobs search pages.
