Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Scraper Scrape job listings from **Indeed across 10 countries** — no API key required. Supports keyword search, location, job type, date posted, salary, and remote filters. Returns full job descriptions, company ratings, and metadata. --- ### Why use this actor? | Feature | This actor | Typical alternatives | |---|---|---| | No API key needed | ✅ Works out of the box | ❌ Indeed's official API was deprecated in 2022 | | 10 country domains | ✅ US, UK, CA, AU, DE, FR, IN, SG, NZ, IE | ⚠️ Usually US-only | | Full job descriptions | ✅ Toggle on/off | ⚠️ Listing cards only | | Custom start URLs | ✅ Bring your own Indeed search URL | ❌ Fixed input only | | Salary filter | ✅ US minimum salary presets | ❌ Not available | | Remote filter | ✅ One toggle | ⚠️ Manual URL manipulation | --- ### What it scrapes **From search results (always):** - `jobId`, `jobUrl` - `title`, `company`, `location` - `salary` snippet - `postedText` (e.g. "Posted 2 days ago") - `isSponsored` **From job detail pages (when `scrapeJobDetails: true`):** - `descriptionText` — full plain-text job description - `descriptionHtml` — full HTML job description - `metaItems` — job type, shift, benefits, and other metadata tags - `companyRating` — star rating (e.g. `3.8`) - `reviewCount` — number of company reviews - `companyInfo` — company overview snippet --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `keywords` | string | — | Job title or skills (e.g. `"Software Engineer"`, `"Python"`) | | `location` | string | — | City or region (e.g. `"Toronto, ON"`, `"Remote"`) | | `country` | select | `us` | Indeed country domain — see supported countries below | | `maxJobs` | integer | `50` | Max listings to collect (up to 1000) | | `datePosted` | select | `any` | Any / Past 24h / Past 3 days / Past 7 days / Past 14 days | | `jobType` | select | `any` | Any / Full-time / Part-time / Contract / Temporary / Internship | | `salary` | select | `any` | US minimum salary filter: $30k+ / $50k+ / $70k+ / $100k+ | | `remoteOnly` | boolean | `false` | Show only remote jobs | | `scrapeJobDetails` | boolean | `true` | Visit each job page for full description and metadata | | `startUrls` | array | — | Skip keyword inputs and scrape a custom Indeed search URL directly | | `proxy` | object | — | Proxy configuration — residential proxies strongly recommended | #### Supported countries | Code | Domain | Country | |---|---|---| | `us` | indeed.com | United States | | `uk` | indeed.co.uk | United Kingdom | | `ca` | ca.indeed.com | Canada | | `au` | au.indeed.com | Australia | | `de` | de.indeed.com | Germany | | `fr` | fr.indeed.com | France | | `in` | indeed.co.in | India | | `sg` | indeed.com.sg | Singapore | | `nz` | nz.indeed.com | New Zealand | | `ie` | ie.indeed.com | Ireland | --- ### Example inputs **Standard job search:** ```json { "keywords": "Software Engineer", "location": "Toronto, ON", "country": "ca", "maxJobs": 50, "datePosted": "past_7d", "jobType": "full_time", "scrapeJobDetails": true, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` **Remote US jobs with salary filter:** ```json { "keywords": "Data Scientist", "location": "Remote", "country": "us", "maxJobs": 100, "salary": "100k", "remoteOnly": true, "scrapeJobDetails": true, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` **Quick scan (listings only, no detail pages):** ```json { "keywords": "Marketing Manager", "location": "London", "country": "uk", "maxJobs": 200, "scrapeJobDetails": false, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` **Custom start URL:** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=python+developer&l=New+York&radius=25" } ], "country": "us", "maxJobs": 30, "scrapeJobDetails": true, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` *** ### Example output ```json { "jobId": "4589bfaf10a22446", "jobUrl": "https://ca.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=4589bfaf10a22446", "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "company": "Shopify", "location": "Toronto, ON", "salary": "$120,000–$150,000 a year", "postedText": "Posted 3 days ago", "isSponsored": false, "descriptionText": "About the role\nWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer...", "metaItems": ["Full-time", "Health insurance", "Dental care", "Paid time off"], "companyRating": 4.1, "reviewCount": "2,847 reviews", "country": "ca", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-03T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` *** ### 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: ```json "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 # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Job title or skills to search for (e.g. 'Software Engineer', 'Data Analyst', 'Python'). ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, or country (e.g. 'Toronto, ON', 'New York', 'Remote'). Leave blank to search all locations. ## `country` (type: `string`): Indeed country domain to search. Determines which Indeed site is used. ## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job listings to scrape. ## `datePosted` (type: `string`): Filter jobs by how recently they were posted. ## `jobType` (type: `string`): Filter by employment type. ## `salary` (type: `string`): Minimum salary filter. Only applies when searching indeed.com (US). Ignored for other countries. ## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only remote jobs are returned. ## `scrapeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, visits each job page to get the full description, company rating, and metadata. Slower but more complete. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Provide direct Indeed search URLs to scrape instead of building from keyword/location inputs. Useful for advanced searches with custom filters. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Indeed blocks datacenter IPs — Apify Residential proxies are strongly recommended for reliable results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": "Software Engineer", "location": "Toronto, ON", "country": "us", "maxJobs": 50, "datePosted": "any", "jobType": "any", "salary": "any", "remoteOnly": false, "scrapeJobDetails": true, "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=python+developer&l=Remote" } ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
