## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## Indeed Jobs Scraper
Extract job postings from Indeed at scale — by keyword, location, and country. Powered by Indeed's own mobile GraphQL API, so it returns **complete, structured data with full job descriptions in a single request** — no browser, no login wall, no page-1 limit.
### Features
- ✅ **Unlimited pagination** — cursor-based, ~100 jobs per API call (no "page 2 requires login" wall)
- ✅ **15 country sites** — US, Germany, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, India, Pakistan, UAE, Singapore
- ✅ **Full job description** included on every record (HTML + clean plain text)
- ✅ **Rich data** — structured salary (min/max/unit/currency), company website & domain, industry, size, revenue, logo, geo-coordinates, skills/attributes, occupations
- ✅ **Search filters** — location + radius, posted-within-days
- ✅ **Duplicate-free** — deduplicated by Indeed job key
- ✅ **Fast & cheap** — pure API calls, no headless browser
### Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `country` | select | `us` | Indeed country site |
| `keyword` | string | `software engineer` | Job title, skill, or company |
| `location` | string | — | City, state, or postal code; empty = country-wide |
| `radius` | integer | `25` | Search radius (km/miles by country); used with location |
| `postedWithinDays` | integer | `0` | Only jobs from the last N days (0 = all time) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Total number of records to scrape |
| `proxyConfig` | proxy | Residential | Residential proxies recommended to avoid rate limits |
#### Example input

{
"country": "us",
"keyword": "software engineer",

}
```
### Use cases
- **Recruiting & sourcing** — monitor open roles by market, skill, and company
- **Lead generation** — company domains + websites for outreach

- Some fields (industry, revenue, website) are only present when Indeed has them on the employer's profile.
- Export as CSV, Excel, or JSON from the dataset tab, or via the Apify API.

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"proxyConfig": {
"useApifyProxy": true,
"apifyProxyGroups": [

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("claygenius/best-cheapest-indeed-job-scrapper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

"useApifyProxy": True,
"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
} }
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("claygenius/best-cheapest-indeed-job-scrapper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
