Proxy recommendation

Indeed uses Cloudflare and aggressive bot detection. Datacenter proxies will be blocked on job detail pages. Apify Residential proxies are strongly recommended for reliable full-detail scraping.

For best results, match the proxy country to the Indeed domain you're scraping:

"proxy": {
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
  "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"
}

Use "US", "GB", "CA", "AU", "DE" etc. to match your country input.

Tips

• Use scrapeJobDetails: false for large runs (200+ jobs) to avoid rate limits — you still get title, company, location, salary, and job URL
• Use startUrls for advanced searches that aren't covered by the input filters (radius, company name, specific job categories)
• Date filter + job type — combining datePosted: "past_24h" with a job type is the fastest way to get fresh, relevant listings
• Salary filter is US only — for other countries, embed the salary range in your keyword (e.g. "python developer £60000")

---

Limitations

• Salary filter only works on indeed.com (US)
• Indeed may limit results to ~100 pages (~1000 jobs) per search query regardless of maxJobs
• Company ratings and review counts are not available for all listings
