LinkedIn Jobs Scraper — Search & Full Descriptions

Search public LinkedIn jobs by keyword, location, workplace and posting age. Export descriptions, company links, job criteria and dates with deduplication and clear limits.

Quick start

Paste your targets into the input form and run. The example below fetches a small sample:

{
  "targets": [
    "software engineer"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxItemsPerTarget": 10,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "location": "United States",
  "includeDescriptions": true,
  "postedWithinDays": 30
}

The dataset supports JSON, CSV and Excel export. Use the API, schedules, Make, n8n or other Apify integrations to repeat the same collection. No external API key, browser cookies or login is required by this Actor.

Input and limits

Field	Meaning
targets	1–50 search queries. Each query is processed separately.
maxResults	Stops the run after this many unique matching results. Always set a sensible cap.
maxItemsPerTarget	Per source limit after filters. Apple search uses this per query/country, capped at 200.
maxPages	Caps pagination or sitemap traversal. Ignored for sources returning a single document (Greenhouse, Ashby, RSS, Apple search).
proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify proxy settings. On Apify, Google Search uses Google SERP proxies; Google News, LinkedIn and Apple reviews use residential proxies. Other collectors connect directly unless configured here. Proxy usage is included in the Actor price when the listing uses pure pay-per-event pricing.
location	Search location passed to LinkedIn, for example United States or London. Defaults to United States.
includeDescriptions	Fetch full job descriptions and job criteria before billing each row. Disable for faster list-only results.
postedWithinDays	Posting age filter passed to LinkedIn.
workplace	Optional source filter. Empty selects all workplace types.

Duplicate targets are processed once. Filters apply before result billing. Runs are bounded snapshots; limits can stop collection before the source is exhausted.

Output

Each result includes source, id, title, url and fetchedAt where applicable, plus source-specific fields. The Results view highlights title, company, location, department, employmentType, url, fetchedAt. JSON export retains every field, including nested arrays. Missing source values are null rather than estimated.

The free SUMMARY record in the default key-value store reports each target's result count and errors, HTTP requests, and whether the overall result or spending limit was reached. Errors are not inserted into the paid dataset. A run in which every source fails is marked failed; mixed success is reported explicitly in the summary.

Pricing

$3 per 1,000 delivered results ($0.003 each). No Actor start fee. Filtered rows, duplicates within the same context and source errors are not charged. Results are deduplicated within each run. Google Search preserves a URL appearing in distinct queries. Source requests and the default proxy costs are included in paid per-result pricing. Set Apify's maximum charge per run as an additional budget control.

Source coverage and limitations

Reads only LinkedIn guest-visible listings. No login, cookies or private recruiter data. LinkedIn can rate-limit or block cloud requests; blocked sources are reported as errors and no result is charged for a failed detail fetch. Search coverage is bounded and not guaranteed exhaustive. Salary text appears only when publicly displayed. No applicant data or applications are collected.

Public sources can change, throttle requests or return no matches. The Actor retries transient network failures up to twice, follows a bounded number of redirects, and rejects private-network targets. It does not bypass login or CAPTCHA challenges. Use data within the source's applicable terms and your intended permissions.
