Foundit Jobs Scraper: India Jobs, Salary & Skills

Foundit Jobs Scraper exports job listings from Foundit (foundit.in, formerly Monster India) as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. It reads the same public search data the foundit.in website loads, no login needed:

• ✅ Jobs by keyword and city: any query (python developer, data analyst, sales manager, ...) in any city (Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, ...), or everywhere.
• ✅ Experience and salary: years of experience range, yearly salary range with currency (INR, plus SGD, AED, ... for Gulf and Southeast Asia jobs) when the recruiter discloses it.
• ✅ Job details: title, company, locations, key skills, employment and job type, industries, functions, posted and updated dates, applicant count, job URL and description snippet (full description optional).
• ✅ Newest first: sort by date and turn on monitoring mode to get only jobs you haven't seen.
• ✅ Deduplicated across searches, so a job that matches two searches is returned (and billed) once.
• ✅ Fast, light and polite: plain JSON requests, one at a time, no browser. Pay only for jobs written to your dataset.

Who uses Foundit job data?

• Recruiters and staffing agencies: see which companies are hiring for a skill in a city right now, with experience and pay.
• Sales and lead generation: companies hiring many engineers or sales staff are growing and buying; reach them first.
• Job seekers and job boards: build your own feed or alerts for Indian jobs with salary and skills.
• HR and market analysts: benchmark salaries and in-demand skills by role, city and experience level.
• AI agents: give an LLM live Indian job listings through the Apify API or MCP server.

How does the Foundit jobs scraper work?

1. Add search queries and (optionally) locations.
2. The actor calls Foundit's public search API for each query × location, 20 jobs per page, about one request per second.
3. It pages through results until maxItems jobs in total, or the end of the results.
4. You get one dataset item per job, newest first (or in Foundit's relevance order).

How do I choose which Foundit jobs to scrape?

Field	Description	Example
queries	Search keywords. Each query is searched in every location	["java developer", "SAP"]
locations	City or country filters (optional), or Remote	["Bangalore", "Pune"]
sortBy	date (recently posted or refreshed first) or relevance	"date"
maxItems	Max jobs in total, across all searches	500
includeDescription	Add the full job description (plain text)	true
onlyNew	Monitoring: only jobs not returned by an earlier run with the same searches	true
proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify Proxy (not needed normally)	{ "useApifyProxy": true }

• Queries only: all locations (India, plus the Gulf and Southeast Asia jobs Foundit lists). Locations only: all jobs in the city.
• Locations work like the foundit.in location box: Bangalore and Bengaluru both match "Bengaluru / Bangalore". Use one city per entry.

• salaryMin/salaryMax are yearly amounts in salaryCurrency (1300000 = ₹13 lakh a year). null when the salary is hidden, confidential or not disclosed.
• experienceMin/experienceMax are years; 0–0 usually means freshers (or not stated).
• companyName is null when the recruiter lists the job as a confidential company.
• applyUrl is set when the job is applied for on an external site; otherwise apply on jobUrl.
• description (plain text) is added only with includeDescription: true.

How much does it cost to scrape Foundit jobs?

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

Event	Price
Job	$0.002

That's $2 per 1,000 jobs. The default input (20 python developer jobs in Bangalore) costs $0.04. If you set a maximum cost per run, the actor stops cleanly when it reaches it.

Tips for scraping Foundit jobs

• Daily new jobs: use sortBy: "date" with onlyNew, schedule it daily and send new jobs to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook with Apify integrations.
• Hiring leads: run a skill across several cities, then group by companyName to see who is hiring the most.
• Salary benchmarks: filter on salaryCurrency: "INR" and aggregate salaryMin/salaryMax by query, city or experience.
• Skills demand: count skills across thousands of jobs for a role to see what employers ask for.

How do I monitor Foundit for new jobs?

Turn on onlyNew 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 jobs as usual. Later runs return, and charge for, only jobs (by jobId) not returned before. Skipped jobs are never charged.
• Keep sortBy: "date" so new jobs come first; maxItems counts only new jobs.
• State lives in your account in the key-value store foundit-jobs-state, one record per set of searches (queries × locations). Changing them starts a new baseline. It remembers the latest 50,000 jobs.
• Add a Slack, email or webhook integration to the task to get new-job alerts.

Foundit jobs scraper FAQ

Is this an official Foundit API? No. It reads the public search results foundit.in shows to logged-out visitors, and respects foundit.in's robots.txt.

Why are some jobs outside my city? Foundit matches multi-city jobs and nearby or related locations. Filter on locations if you need exact matches.

Why do I see Singapore or UAE jobs? Foundit also lists Gulf and Southeast Asia jobs. Add a location such as India or a city to restrict results.

Do I need a proxy? No. The Foundit API 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.
