Instahyre Jobs Scraper: India Tech Jobs & Employers

Instahyre Jobs Scraper exports job listings from Instahyre (instahyre.com), India's tech hiring platform, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. It reads the same public job search data the Instahyre website loads, no login needed:

• ✅ Jobs by skill, city and experience: any skills (Python, Java, React, AWS, ...), cities (Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Work From Home, ...) and years of experience.
• ✅ Job function, company size and job type: e.g. Backend Development or Data Science / Machine Learning, small, medium or large employers, full-time jobs or internships.
• ✅ Employer data on every job: company name, tagline, founded year, headcount and logo.
• ✅ Monitor mode: flags each job as new, updated or removed since the previous run. Unchanged jobs are skipped and not billed.
• ✅ Fast, light and polite: plain JSON requests, one at a time, no browser. Pay only for jobs written to your dataset.

How does the Instahyre jobs scraper work?

1. Set skills and any other filters.
2. The actor calls Instahyre's public job search API, 35 jobs per page, about one request per second.
3. It pages through results until maxItems jobs, or the end of the results.
4. You get one dataset item per job, in Instahyre's ranking order.

Input

Field	Description	Example
skills	Skills; a job matches any of them. Empty = all jobs	["Python", "Django"]
locations	Cities; a job matches any of them. Empty = all of India	["Bangalore", "Pune"]
years	Years of experience the job is open to (0 = freshers)	3
jobFunctions	Instahyre job functions, by name	["DevOps / Cloud"]
companySize	any, small, medium or large	"large"
jobType	any, full-time or internship	"internship"
maxItems	Max jobs to output (in monitor mode: new, updated and removed jobs)	500
monitorMode	Flag jobs as new, updated or removed since the previous run	true
proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify Proxy (not needed normally)	{ "useApifyProxy": true }

• Locations accept common spellings: Bengaluru = Bangalore, Gurugram = Gurgaon, Remote = Work From Home. A multi-city job matches if any of its cities does.
• Job functions use Instahyre's names, e.g. Backend Development, Frontend Development, Full-Stack Development, Mobile Development, Data Science / Machine Learning, Data Engineering / DWH / ETL, DevOps / Cloud, Software Testing / QA / SDET, Product Management, Engineering Management, UX / Visual Design.
• Instahyre serves at most 10,000 results per search. Narrow the filters to go deeper.

What data do you get for each Instahyre job?

{
  "jobId": "439850",
  "title": "Python Engineer",
  "keywords": ["API", "FastAPI", "Python", "REST"],
  "locations": ["Bangalore"],
  "jobUrl": "https://www.instahyre.com/job-439850-python-engineer-at-nineleaps-2-bangalore/",
  "employerId": "5003",
  "employerName": "Nineleaps",
  "employerTagline": "We build high performance solutions",
  "employerFoundedYear": 2014,
  "employerHeadcount": 200,
  "employerLogoUrl": "https://media.instahyre.com/images/profile/base/employer/5003/dcac758458/nineleaps.webp",
  "changeType": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-16T13:20:28.220Z"
}

• keywords are the skills the employer tagged on the job.
• employerHeadcount is Instahyre's size bucket (the lower bound: 200 means 200+ employees).
• changeType is new, updated or removed in monitor mode, otherwise null.
• No job descriptions, salaries or recruiter contacts: Instahyre shows those only on its job pages and to signed-in candidates.

How much does it cost to scrape Instahyre jobs?

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

Event	Price
Job	$0.0015

That's $1.50 per 1,000 jobs. In monitor mode, unchanged jobs are skipped and free. If you set a maximum cost per run, the actor stops cleanly when it reaches it.

How do I monitor Instahyre for new and changed 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: every job is new.
• Later runs output only jobs that are new, updated (title, skills, locations or employer changed) or removed (no longer in the results). Unchanged jobs are skipped and not charged.
• Removed jobs come with their latest data when Instahyre still has it.
• Removals are detected only when a run reads every result. Set maxItems above the number of changes you expect; a run that stops early checks removals on a later run.
• State lives in your account in the key-value store instahyre-jobs-state, one record per set of filters. Changing the filters starts a new baseline. It remembers 50,000 jobs.
• Add a Slack, email or webhook integration to the task to get alerts.

Instahyre jobs scraper FAQ

Is this an official Instahyre API? No. It reads the public job search results instahyre.com shows to logged-out visitors, and respects instahyre.com's robots.txt.

Why no job descriptions? Instahyre's job pages are behind a bot challenge. This actor reads only the open search API, so it stays fast and cheap.

Do I need a proxy? No. The Instahyre 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.
