Pricing & limits

Pay-per-event. Mark api_call as the primary event in Console > Publication > Monetization (required for Store quality / monetization readiness).

Event	When
api_call (primary)	Per real job written to your dataset. Free-plan sample / upgrade-hint rows are not billed.
platform-usage	Small top-up that tracks the run's actual Apify platform cost ($0.001 per event, 1.2x markup).

You can cap spend per run with Apify's actorMaxPaidDatasetItems setting.

• Free Apify plan: a short sample of real results; further rows show an upgrade hint. Free users only use monthly free credit.
• Paid plans: full results up to max_results.

Programmatic usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('caprolok/indeed-jobs-scraper').call({
    keyword: 'software engineer',
    location: 'US',
    job_posted_in: '7 days',
    max_results: 50,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("caprolok/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "software engineer",
    "location": "GB",
    "job_posted_in": "7 days",
    "max_results": 50,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Use this actor from AI agents via the Apify MCP server (stdio or https://mcp.apify.com with your Apify token). Input and output schemas are published with the actor so agents can call it with typed arguments.

Integrations

Works with Make, Zapier, Airbyte, Slack, Google Sheets, GitHub, cloud storage, webhooks, and anything that can call the Apify API.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	What to try
Zero results	Broaden the keyword, clear job_posted_in, or try another country.
Thin salary fields	Many listings omit pay text; try a broader keyword or another country.
Unexpected country mix	Set location to the ISO-2 country you want.
Locale language titles	Use local keywords (e.g. Softwareentwickler for DE).
Too broad	Set Advanced filters: title, company, city, remote, or exclude words.
