Title, company, location, salary, job types, benefits, remote flag, posted date and apply URL. Runs a real browser to beat Cloudflare; never charges for blocked or empty searches. - **URL**: https://apify.com/dami\_studio/indeed-jobs-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Dami's Studio](https://apify.com/dami_studio) (community) - **Categories:** Jobs, Integrations, Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $4.00 / 1,000 job returneds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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 Jobs Scraper Scrape job listings from **Indeed** (US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, India and more) by keyword and location. Indeed is behind Cloudflare, which is why HTTP scrapers get `Just a moment…` challenge pages. This actor runs a **real browser** with anti-detection, reads jobs straight from Indeed's own in-page data model, and rotates a fresh residential IP whenever a page is challenged — so it returns jobs or an honest `BLOCKED`, never silent-empty. ### Input | Field | Notes | |---|---| | `query` | Job title / keywords (required). | | `location` | City / state / "remote". **Leave blank to search the whole country.** | | `country` | us / uk / ca / de / fr / au / in / nl / es / it / ie. | | `maxItems` | Jobs to collect (paginates by 10s). | ### Output One row per job: `jobId`, `title`, `company`, `location`, `salary`, `jobTypes`, `benefits`, `remote`, `postedText`, `snippet`, `companyRating`, `companyReviewCount`, `url`. **Fields that can be `null`:** `salary` and `companyRating` (and `companyReviewCount`) are missing for many Indeed jobs — Indeed simply does not list pay or a rating on most cards, so expect these blank on a large share of results. `postedText` and `snippet` can also be null. Blocked, empty, and bad-input searches return a coded diagnostic row (`ok: false` with an `errorCode` of `BLOCKED`, `NO_RESULTS`, or `BAD_INPUT`) and **are never charged** — you only pay per genuine job row. #### Sample output row ```json { "ok": true, "jobId": "a1b2c3d4e5f6", "title": "Software Engineer", "company": "Acme Corp", "location": "London", "salary": null, "jobTypes": ["Full-time"], "benefits": ["Health insurance"], "remote": false, "postedText": "3 days ago", "snippet": "We are hiring a software engineer to ...", "companyRating": null, "companyReviewCount": null, "url": "https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=a1b2c3d4e5f6" } ```` ### Notes Uses a RESIDENTIAL proxy matched to the country (required for Cloudflare). Rotation means a run can take longer when IPs are challenged, but it gets through. The browser locale is always **en-US** regardless of the `country` you pick (this affects how relative dates like "3 days ago" are phrased, not which country's jobs you get). #### Troubleshooting - **Got far fewer jobs than `maxItems`?** That usually just means Indeed has few open postings matching your query/location that day — it is not an error. Try a broader query, a blank location, or a different country. - **Got a `BLOCKED` diagnostic row?** Indeed's Cloudflare blocked every IP rotation. Re-run — a fresh residential IP almost always gets through. Make sure your proxy is residential and in (or near) the target country. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): What to search for, e.g. "software engineer", "registered nurse", "data analyst". ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, or "remote", e.g. "New York", "London", "Remote". Leave blank to search the whole country. ## `country` (type: `string`): Which Indeed country site to search. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): How many job listings to collect (the scraper paginates in batches of 10). Note: salary and companyRating are often null on Indeed, and the browser locale is always en-US regardless of country. ## `notionConnector` (type: `string`): Optional. Write each job as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless. ## `notionParentId` (type: `string`): Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Indeed uses Cloudflare — RESIDENTIAL proxy in the target country is required. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "software engineer", "country": "us", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Scraped rows are stored in the default dataset (one row per result). Blocked/empty/error runs return a single uncharged diagnostic row instead. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "software engineer" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dami_studio/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
