Pricing

Cost: $3 per 1,000 job listings

Cost Examples

Listings	Cost
50	$0.15
100	$0.30
500	$1.50
1,000	$3.00
5,000	$15.00

Estimate Your Costs:

• Small research (50 listings) = ~$0.15
• Medium analysis (200 listings across 2-3 searches) = ~$0.60
• Large dataset (1,000 listings) = $3.00
• Competitive analysis (5,000 listings monthly) = $15.00

Note: Proxy costs (if using Apify Proxy) are charged separately. Default configuration uses Apify's datacenter proxy to bypass Indeed's bot detection.

Tips

1. Start with narrow searches - Use specific keywords and location to get relevant results faster. Avoid very common terms like "仕事" which may return broad results.

2. Use location filtering - Combining keyword + location dramatically reduces execution time and improves relevance. For example, "エンジニア" + "東京都" is faster than "エンジニア" alone.

3. Set realistic maxResults - Indeed typically shows 10 results per page. Requesting 500 listings may require 50+ page loads. Start with 50-100 for testing.

4. Schedule recurring runs - Set up scheduled runs (daily/weekly) to monitor new job postings and track trends over time.

5. Export and analyze - Use Apify's built-in export to Google Sheets, Excel, or Webhooks to process data in your BI tools.

6. Respect rate limits - The actor includes 3+ second delays between requests per robots.txt compliance. Do not modify crawler concurrency settings.

7. Update your searches - Job market changes seasonally. Refresh your searches quarterly to capture new trends and salary ranges.

8. Combine filters strategically - Filter by employment type if you only want full-time roles (正社員) to avoid part-time/contract noise.

Integrations

Troubleshooting

Q: No results returned

• Verify your keyword is in Japanese (e.g., エンジニア, not "engineer")
• Check if location exists (e.g., 東京都, 大阪府)
• Increase maxResults or remove filters to broaden search

Q: Actor runs but returns empty dataset

• Indeed may have blocked your IP. Try using Apify Proxy (default)
• Some days have fewer listings. Try different keywords or locations
• Check actor logs for errors or blocked requests

Q: Slow execution

• maxResults = 500 requires ~50 page loads (slow by design to avoid blocking)
• Start with smaller batches (50-100) for testing
• Run multiple searches in parallel using Apify Workflows

Q: Salary data missing

• Not all postings include salary ranges. This is normal for Japan job market.
• Filter results post-run to only include jobs with salary data
