Important Notes

Proxy Requirements

⚠️ This Actor requires residential proxies to work properly. Indeed has anti-scraping measures in place, and datacenter proxies will likely be blocked. Make sure you have residential proxies configured in your Apify account.

Rate Limiting

Be mindful of Indeed's rate limits. Scraping too aggressively may result in temporary IP blocks. It's recommended to:

• Start with smaller batches (maxJobs: 20-50)
• Use appropriate delays between requests
• Monitor your success rate

Data Accuracy

Job listings on Indeed are constantly updated. The data you scrape reflects the state of listings at the time of scraping and may change shortly after.

Use Cases

• Job Market Research: Analyze trends in job postings, salaries, and required skills
• Competitive Analysis: Monitor competitor hiring patterns
• Job Aggregation: Build your own job board or aggregator
• Career Planning: Track job opportunities in your field
• Recruitment: Find potential candidates or opportunities

Pricing

This Actor costs $10.00/month plus Apify platform usage fees. The monthly rental fee is charged in addition to compute units used during runs.
