When to use this Actor

• You need a ZipRecruiter scraper / ZipRecruiter jobs scraper that returns structured JSON

• You want to scrape ZipRecruiter with Python, Node.js, or MCP and export a dataset
• You run a daily monitor and only want new job IDs billed

When not to use this Actor

• Non-US job portals — this Actor covers ziprecruiter.com (US). Country white-labels are a different stack
• Guaranteed emails or phones — public listings rarely include direct contacts

• Employer reviews — use Glassdoor Scraper for ratings and interviews

Key Features

• Start URL parsing — paste ZipRecruiter jobs-search URLs; query filters map automatically
• ZipRecruiter filters — employment type, freshness, radius, salary floor/ceiling, remote, Quick Apply
• Structured salary — USD min/max plus period (hour / year / month) from JobPosting JSON-LD
• Full descriptions — schema.org JobPosting on each detail page (benefits, SOC category, dates, logo)
• Camoufox + US residential — ZipRecruiter Cloudflare blocks datacenter and non-US IPs
• Monitor mode — named Key-Value store of seen job IDs; later scheduled runs emit only new jobs
• Deduplicated job IDs across pages, keywords, and multi-city runs (ZipRecruiter renders each card twice)
• MCP / AI ready — call from assistants via Apify MCP

FAQ

Is this an official ZipRecruiter API?
No. ZipRecruiter’s partner API is for posting jobs, not public search. This Actor reads public jobs-search pages and schema.org JobPosting JSON-LD — a practical ZipRecruiter API alternative for pipelines.

Do I need a proxy?
Yes — US residential. ZipRecruiter Cloudflare blocks datacenter IPs and geo-redirects many non-US connections (including to ziprecruiter.de, which is a different site).

Can I paste a ZipRecruiter search URL?
Yes — startUrls accepts jobs-search links. Filters such as days, radius, refine_by_salary, and refine_by_employment map automatically.

Do I need a ZipRecruiter account?
No — public listing and job pages only.

How do I get the full job description?
It is on by default (includeJobDescription: true). Each job page is opened and JobPosting JSON-LD is parsed (description, salary, benefits, dates). Turn it off for faster listing-only runs (title, company, location, URL).

Why is each job returned only once if the page shows ~40 cards?
ZipRecruiter renders every job twice (list pane + detail pane). The scraper deduplicates by jid.

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.

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

How many jobs per search?
ZipRecruiter paginates 20 unique jobs per page. Use extra locations / searchKeywords or start URLs to cover more. There is no 500-item hard cap beyond maxItems / maxPages.
