They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Indeed Public Jobs Scraper Search public Indeed job listings by position, location, or URL. The Actor does not log in, use candidate or employer accounts, or access private data. Indeed protects its public pages against non-browser HTTP clients. This Actor uses browser-level TLS and header impersonation with session-sticky proxy support, automatically rotating to a fresh residential session when a proxy tunnel fails. It visits each public job-detail page to return the full description, without logging into Indeed or solving CAPTCHAs. ### Input Use the reference Actor fields `position`, `maxItemsPerSearch`, `country`, `location`, `parseCompanyDetails`, `saveOnlyUniqueItems`, and `followApplyRedirects`, or provide public Indeed search URLs in `startUrls`. The legacy aliases `maxItems` and `maxPages` are also accepted. ### Output Each row exposes the reference Indeed fields (`positionName`, `salary`, `jobType`, `company`, `companyIndeedUrl`, `location`, `rating`, `reviewsCount`, `externalApplyLink`, `url`, `id`, `postedAt`, `postingDateParsed`, `description`, and company/error fields) plus shared provenance fields. Add an `APIFY_API_TOKEN` repository secret. The GitHub Actions workflow runs tests and publishes the Actor on pushes to `main` or `master`. # Actor input Schema ## `position` (type: `string`): Job title, skill, or keyword to search on Indeed. ## `maxItemsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Maximum job listings to return for each search. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code used to select the Indeed site. ## `location` (type: `string`): City, region, or other location filter. ## `parseCompanyDetails` (type: `boolean`): Whether to collect additional public company details when available. ## `saveOnlyUniqueItems` (type: `boolean`): Whether to deduplicate jobs by listing ID. ## `followApplyRedirects` (type: `boolean`): Whether to follow external application redirects. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Indeed search, company jobs, or detail URLs. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum Indeed result pages to request. ## `requestDelaySecs` (type: `number`): Seconds to wait between Indeed page requests. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy configuration for requests. ## Actor input object example ```json { "position": "", "maxItemsPerSearch": 100, "country": "US", "location": "", "parseCompanyDetails": false, "saveOnlyUniqueItems": true, "followApplyRedirects": false, "startUrls": [], "maxPages": 5, "requestDelaySecs": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crabwalker/indeed-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
