# Changelog of Indeed Jobs Scraper (`chronometrica/indeed-jobs-scraper`) Actor - **URL**: https://apify.com/chronometrica/indeed-jobs-scraper/changelog.md - **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/chronometrica/indeed-jobs-scraper.md ## Changelog ### 2026-06-24 - Public Surface Alignment #### Changed - Aligned the public example input, Store metadata, and schema presentation with the current README and first-run defaults. - Documented optional apply-link resolution status fields in the dataset schema. - Kept Actor metadata focused on buyer-facing fields. ### 2026-06-22 - Input Form Clarity Pass #### Changed - Reorganized the top input form section around Country, Keywords, optional Location, and the shared saved-job cap. - Clarified that Location narrows the keyword search inside the selected country. - Rewrote form help text in simpler language and moved keyword-balancing into quality controls. - Moved employer and salary filters into the Filters section. - Kept page depth with Filters, moved enrichment toggles into Quality controls, and renamed the remaining advanced request pacing section to Run tuning. - Removed hidden runtime keyword and location fallbacks so API behavior matches the blank form state. ### 2026-06-22 - Country Coverage Expansion #### Added - Expanded the supported Indeed country options in the input form. - Added currency detection support for the expanded country set. ### 2026-06-22 - Input Form Example Update #### Changed - Updated the keyword example values shown in the input form. - Made the keyword field required in the input schema while keeping location blank and optional for country-wide searches. ### 2026-06-22 - Duplicate-Free Jobs Positioning Pass #### Changed - Updated Store SEO metadata, README positioning, pricing copy, FAQ, and input form microcopy to make unique saved job listings and duplicate-skip accounting clearer. - Kept the public Actor title, slug, input keys, output schema, dataset schema, pricing, and runtime behavior unchanged. ### 2026-06-22 - Store Ranking And Quality Score Pass #### Changed - Added SEO title, SEO description, and a second Store category for clearer Indeed salary, description, benefits, skills, and job-listing search intent. - Reduced default run size and search depth so first runs and automated Store health checks complete faster while larger production runs remain supported. - Expanded the README with long-tail use-case sections, API positioning, FAQ entries, and related job-scraper links. ### 2026-06-21 - Actor Slug Keyword Match #### Changed - Renamed the public Actor technical slug from `chronometrica/indeed-scraper` to `chronometrica/indeed-jobs-scraper` to match the primary Store search keyword. - Kept the existing Actor ID, title, pricing, README, schemas, and build continuity while changing the URL slug. - Published this changelog through the Actor definition so it appears in the Apify Actor information surface. #### Verified - Deployed build `1.1.3` under the new slug and confirmed a one-item smoke run saved an Indeed job. - Deployed a follow-up metadata-only build with the official changelog included in the active Actor source. - Confirmed the old `chronometrica/indeed-scraper` slug no longer resolves. ### 2026-06-21 - Store README Template Pass #### Changed - Reworked the public README into Apify's approved Store-style Q\&A structure, starting with what the Actor does, what data it extracts, why to scrape Indeed, how to use it, pricing guidance, input, output, tips, legal notes, and support. - Made the README more faithful to approved Apify examples by adding template-style phrasing, emoji data tables, an API section, pricing examples, and arrow-labeled input/output sections. - Updated the Actor card description under the title to match the new Store positioning. - Removed the duplicate README H1 so Apify can use the Actor title as the page H1. ### 2026-06-20 - Dataset Presentation Schema #### Added - Added a curated default dataset schema so saved job listings open in a cleaner table view with buyer-facing columns, labels, and link formatting. ### 2026-06-20 - Trust And Filter Pass #### Added - Added run-summary trust fields for requested max items, candidate rows seen, company/date/salary exclusions, stop reason, resolved country, and source site. - Added dataset fields for description HTML/status, salary source, live-search verification status, resolved country, and source site. - Added company exclusion, pay-period, and minimum-salary filters. - Added conservative salary extraction from description text when structured salary data is missing. #### Changed - Reworked the public Actor title, description, and README around full description fields, source provenance, and auditable run summaries. - Simplified the public Actor title to `Indeed Scraper` while keeping job-specific proof in the description and README. - Applied new filters immediately after each discovery page is parsed, before duplicate handling, apply-link resolution, and dataset writes. - Enforced posted-within filtering after discovery when the source cannot combine freshness with remote-only or job-type filters. - Added a reason-aware `statusMessage` to run summaries and no-result logs. - Clarified public form help text around saved result caps, skipped rows, strict salary filters, and search depth. - Documented `OUTPUT.input` as the normalized run-input provenance record. - Updated the README example to use the schema-valid posted-within value. #### Fixed - Fixed minimum-salary filtering for rows that only have `salaryMin`. ### 2026-06-20 - Advanced Controls #### Added - Added form toggles for balanced keyword coverage, unique saved rows, final apply URL resolution, and company profile fields. - Added optional final apply URL output fields when apply-link resolution is enabled. - Added optional company profile output fields when company details are enabled. #### Changed - Kept unique saved rows on by default while allowing duplicate appearances for keyword overlap and ranking research. - Kept existing `searchDistribution` JSON/API inputs compatible while replacing the public dropdown with a simpler keyword-coverage toggle. - Raised the default max pages per search to 5 so the 500-row default can be reached for a single keyword/location search. - Polished public form labels and descriptions around keyword input, result volume, uniqueness, search depth, apply URLs, and company profile fields. ### 2026-06-20 - Output Surface Hardening #### Changed - Removed the declared dataset schema from the public Actor definition. - Kept saved dataset rows and run summaries focused on buyer-facing fields. - Replaced the exhaustive README field list with a category-level output description and representative example. ### 2026-06-20 - Public Store Copy Cleanup #### Changed - Replaced the Actor README with user-facing Store copy focused on search inputs, use cases, output fields, and example data. - Updated the Actor card description for clearer search and buyer intent. - Kept public Actor documentation focused on buyer-facing workflows. ### 2026-06-20 - Public Form Simplification #### Changed - Simplified the visible input form around job keyword, country, location, result limit, and common job filters. - Moved infrastructure-oriented controls out of the public form. - Reordered the Search section so Country appears before Location. ### 2026-06-20 - Input And Output Improvements #### Changed - Added structured output fields for job, company, location, salary, benefits, skills, apply URL, job URL, and scrape metadata. - Improved support for common JSON/API parameter aliases used by job scraping workflows. - Hardened input normalization for string booleans, case-insensitive sorting, hyphenated job types, and invalid values. #### Fixed - Improved remote-job normalization by trusting source remote indicators before applying text heuristics. ### 2026-06-20 - Indeed Jobs Scraper MVP #### Added - Added keyword, country, location, date posted, radius, sort, job type, remote, result limit, and pagination controls. - Added normalized dataset output suitable for analytics, recruiting workflows, job boards, and automation. - Added input, output, and dataset schemas for the Apify Console and API.
