How does the Cutshort jobs scraper work?

1. Add skills or roles and (optionally) cities.
2. For each skill × city, the actor reads Cutshort's listing (e.g. cutshort.io/jobs/python-jobs-in-pune), 50 jobs per page, newest first, about one request per second.
3. It pages through results until maxItems jobs in total, maxPages pages, or the end of the listing.
4. With includeDetails, it also opens each job page (cutshort.io/job/...).
5. Without skills, it reads Cutshort's jobs sitemap and opens each job page.

How do I choose which Cutshort jobs to scrape?

Field	Description	Example
skills	Skills or roles, names or Cutshort slugs or listing URLs; empty = all jobs	["python", "React.js"]
cities	Cities (optional), or remote	["bangalore", "pune"]
maxItems	Max jobs in total, across all searches	500
startPage	First listing page per search (50 jobs each)	1
maxPages	Listing pages per search; 0 = all	2
includeDetails	Open each job page for the full description and more	true
monitorMode	Only new, updated and removed jobs since the last run with the same search	true
proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify Proxy (not needed normally)	{ "useApifyProxy": true }

• Skill names: Cutshort has a listing per skill or role. Names are converted to its slugs (React.js → reactjs, Data Science → datascience). If a name is not found, the run log says so: open cutshort.io/jobs, find the listing and paste its URL or slug (e.g. machine-learning-ml-jobs).
• Cities: Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi (Delhi, NCR, Gurgaon and Noida), Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Chandigarh, Coimbatore and Bhubaneswar have listings, plus remote.

• salaryMin/salaryMax are yearly amounts (2000000 = ₹20 lakh a year), also for internships that Cutshort shows per month (salaryText keeps the shown form, e.g. ₹15000 - ₹18000 / mo). null when not given.
• workMode is onsite, remote or remoteOrOnsite; locations is empty for remote-only jobs.
• Agency jobs have hiringForClient: true, the client in companyName and the agency in recruiterName.
• With includeDetails (and in all-jobs mode) each job also has description (plain text), validThrough, employmentTypes, category, tags, postalCode and jobValid.
• In monitor mode each job has changeType: new, updated or removed. Removed jobs carry only jobId, headline, companyName and url.

How much does it cost to scrape Cutshort jobs?

Pay-per-event, only for jobs written to your dataset:

Event	Price	When
Job	$0.0015	Every job (or monitor-mode change) in the dataset
Job details	$0.001	Only when the job page is fetched (includeDetails, or all-jobs mode)

That's $1.50 per 1,000 jobs, or $2.50 per 1,000 with details. The default input (20 Python jobs in Bangalore) costs $0.03. In monitor mode unchanged jobs are free. If you set a maximum cost per run, the actor stops cleanly when it reaches it.

How do I monitor Cutshort for new, updated and removed jobs?

Turn on monitorMode and run the actor on an Apify schedule (e.g. daily; save the input as a task and schedule the task).

• The first run is a baseline and returns every job as new. Set maxItems high enough to cover all jobs of your searches.
• Later runs return only changes: new jobs, updated jobs (title, company, salary, experience, skills, locations, work mode or description changed) and removed jobs (no longer listed). Unchanged jobs are skipped and not billed. maxItems counts new and updated jobs; removed jobs don't count.
• Removed jobs are checked only when every search was read to the end (no maxPages, startPage 1, maxItems not reached). Otherwise the next complete run reports them.
• In all-jobs mode (no skills) you get new and removed jobs from the sitemap.
• State lives in your account in the key-value store cutshort-jobs-state, one record per set of searches. Changing the skills or cities starts a new baseline. It remembers the latest 50,000 jobs.

Cutshort jobs scraper FAQ

Is this an official Cutshort API? No. It reads public job listings and job pages that cutshort.io shows to logged-out visitors, and respects its robots.txt (no /view/j/, /vj/, ?job_listing, ?free_text or /apply/ pages).

Why are some jobs outside my city? Multi-city jobs are listed in each of their cities. Filter on locations if you need exact matches.

Why do all-jobs runs include older jobs? The sitemap lists every open job, including some posted long ago that are still marked open. Sort or filter on postedAt.

Do I need a proxy? No. cutshort.io answers Apify's servers directly. You can still enable Apify Proxy; the actor then switches IP automatically if a request is blocked.

Can I use it through the API or with AI agents? Yes. Call it through the Apify API, the Apify MCP server or any Apify integration.
