Integration examples

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/hirist-jobs-scraper').call({
  position: 'Python developer',
  location: 'Bangalore',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token)
run = client.actor("crawloop/hirist-jobs-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "position": "Python developer",
        "location": "Bangalore",
        "maxItems": 50,
    }
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("title"), item.get("employer"), item.get("url"))

cURL

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~hirist-jobs-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"position":"Python developer","location":"Bangalore","maxItems":50}'

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call crawloop/hirist-jobs-scraper.

Example prompts:

• "Run Hirist Jobs Scraper for Python developer in Bangalore, max 50, and return title, employer, salaryNote, skills, url as JSON"
• "Scrape Hirist AI/ML jobs in Hyderabad posted in the last 7 days and list top hiring employers with AmbitionBox ratings"
• "Pull Hirist Java backend openings in Bangalore and Pune, then run Naukri Jobs Scraper for the same role to compare CTC bands"
• "Monitor Hirist Python developer jobs in Bangalore daily and return only new job IDs"

Suite next step

Hirist is the India tech-only board (structured skills + recruiter cards). For the same role on India’s largest general board (often richer CTC + AmbitionBox coverage), run Naukri Jobs Scraper next. For Monster India / Foundit volume, continue with Foundit Jobs Scraper. For employer reviews and interview intel, use Glassdoor Scraper.

FAQ

Is this an official Hirist API?
No. It calls the same public search JSON the website uses (gladiator.hirist.tech/job/search and /job/category) and returns structured dataset rows — a practical Hirist API alternative for pipelines.

Can I paste a Hirist search URL?
Yes — startUrls accepts keyword pages (/k/python-jobs), category pages (/c/ai-ml-jobs), job detail URLs (/j/...-{id}), and query filters such as loc, minexp, maxexp, and posting.

Does Hirist require login?
No for public search results and listing cards. Personalized “my job feed” is not used.

Do I need a residential proxy?
Usually not. Hirist’s job API is unauthenticated and worked over datacenter connections in testing. A proxyConfiguration input is still available if you scale up and start seeing blocks.

Is salary always present?
No. Many posters hide LPA. salaryConfidential: true flags those rows. Numeric INR / LPA fields appear only when the employer published a band — never as a fake zero.

What does includeJobDescription add?
One extra HTML request per job. Listing cards already include title, skills, salary, recruiter, apply count, and AmbitionBox. Leave it off for fast sweeps.

What is monitor mode?
With monitorMode: true, seen job IDs are stored in a named Key-Value store. The first run is the baseline (all matches are new). Later scheduled runs push and charge only IDs not seen before.

Can I export JSON, CSV, or Excel?
Yes — every run writes a dataset you can download as JSON / CSV / Excel, or pull with the Apify API, Python/Node clients, or MCP.

Python / Node.js / MCP?
Yes — use the Apify client examples above or Apify MCP prompts.

How many jobs per search?
Hirist paginates 50 jobs per page. Use extra searchKeywords or start URLs to cover more queries; multiple cities are combined in one loc filter.
