Indeed Jobs Scraper

Scrape Indeed job listings with salaries, company ratings, full descriptions, and remote-work information. This Indeed scraper returns parsed salary minimums and maximums with currency and period, job type, remote work model, company rating and review count, posting date, benefits, and the direct apply link.

No Indeed API key, no login, and no headless browser. Results land in a structured dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or pull straight from the Apify API.

What is Indeed Jobs Scraper?

Indeed Jobs Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts job listings with salaries and company data from Indeed and returns them as clean, structured records. Salary parsing is the differentiator. Indeed publishes salary as free text in many formats; this Actor resolves it into salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryType, and salaryCurrency so the numbers are usable without a cleanup pass.

Results	Approximate cost
1,000	$3.00

What can you build with Indeed data?

Run salary benchmarking for a role and market

Parsed salary bands across hundreds of postings give a far more current picture than an annual compensation survey, and you can slice it by city, seniority, or remote status.

Build a recruiting or sourcing pipeline

Track which companies are hiring for which roles, and how long postings stay open — a strong signal of hiring urgency and of teams that are growing.

Generate leads for recruitment agencies

Companies posting many roles in one function are the clearest prospects for staffing services.

Research labour-market trends

Posting volume by title, location, and remote model over time is a genuine leading indicator of sector demand.

Feed a job board or aggregator

Descriptions, salaries, locations, and apply links come back structured enough to populate a job board directly.

Indeed scraping tips and limits

• Use saveOnlyUniqueItems to avoid paying for the same posting twice — Indeed repeats listings heavily across search pages.
• fromage is the key to cheap incremental runs. Set it to 1 for a daily job and you only pay for new postings.
• Indeed runs country-specific domains. Set country correctly or you will silently get the wrong market.
• Indeed sits behind Cloudflare. Keep the default proxy configuration rather than switching to datacenter IPs.

Integrations and automation

Run Indeed Jobs Scraper on a schedule to keep a Indeed dataset fresh, or trigger it from your own stack through the Apify API and the official JavaScript and Python clients. Native integrations push results into Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, Zapier, Make, GitHub, or any webhook endpoint. The Actor also works as an MCP tool, so an AI agent can call it directly.

Frequently asked questions

Does it return salary data?

Yes, and it parses it. Where Indeed publishes salary, you get salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryType, and salaryCurrency as structured values, plus the original text in salary. Not every posting discloses pay.

Can I scrape Indeed outside the United States?

Yes. Set country to the market you want and the Actor targets that Indeed domain.

Do I need a Indeed API key?

No. Indeed Jobs Scraper reads publicly available Indeed pages and endpoints directly, so there is no key to obtain, no OAuth app to register, and no account to connect.

Can I export Indeed data to CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every run stores results in an Apify dataset that exports to JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML with one click, and the Google Sheets integration writes rows straight into a spreadsheet.

Can I run Indeed Jobs Scraper on a schedule?

Yes. Apify schedules run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or on any cron expression, and webhooks can notify your systems the moment a run finishes.

Is it legal to scrape Indeed?

Scraping publicly available data is broadly lawful in the US and EU, but the answer depends on what you collect and how you use it. This Actor is built to gather public job posting information Indeed publishes publicly. Personal data carries extra obligations under GDPR and CCPA. Read Apify's guide on whether web scraping is legal and take your own legal advice for your use case.
