It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Instahyre Jobs Scraper | India Tech Jobs API with Full Descriptions **Instahyre Jobs Scraper** is a pay-per-result Apify Actor that returns [Instahyre](https://www.instahyre.com/) job listings (the hiring platform Indian product companies and startups use for engineering, data, product and design roles) as JSON, CSV or Excel. It is for tech recruiters and staffing agencies, job aggregators, B2B sales teams that track startup hiring, workforce analysts and job-alert builders. Each row has the full job description (HTML and plain text), experience range, skills, job functions, posting date and the company profile (headcount, founding year, tagline, website, logo); filters cover skill or role, city, experience, company and company size. Price: $0.80 per 1,000 jobs with the description included, plus $0.001 per run; no login, cookies, proxy or browser. On 21 October 2026 Instahyre listed 12,743 open tech jobs, 6,764 of them in Bangalore and 1,095 work from home; `python` matched 4,300. **$0.80 per 1,000 jobs, full description included**, plus $0.001 per run. No login, cookies, proxy or browser: the Actor reads the JSON API behind the Instahyre website and the public job pages. Apify's free plan ($5 credit every month) covers about **6,000 jobs with full descriptions**. Built for schedules: switch on **Only new jobs since the last run** and a daily run returns, and charges for, only the jobs you have not received before. Jobs you already have can also be passed in `skipJobIds`. > Live check, 21 Oct 2026: `python` matched **4,300** open Instahyre jobs (2,600 in Bangalore), `react` 1,600, `data science` 8,000 (title and skill-tag matching is broad), `devops` work-from-home 134. A 50-job run with descriptions takes well under a minute on the Apify platform and costs $0.04 plus the $0.001 start fee. ### Who buys Instahyre data, and what for | You are | What this Actor gives you | |---|---| | **Tech recruiters and staffing agencies** | A daily list of new openings by skill, city, experience band and company size, with the hiring company's headcount and founding year, so you know which startups and product companies are hiring right now. | | **Job aggregators and HR-tech products** | Instahyre as a source with stable job IDs (`dedupKey`), full JD text, de-duplication across keywords and runs, and an API you can call on a schedule. Same conventions as the IIMJobs, Hirist and Foundit Actors by the same publisher. | | **B2B sales and lead generation** | A company hiring five backend engineers is buying cloud, tooling and services. Each row carries the company name, size, tagline, website and logo. | | **Workforce and market analysts** | Demand by skill, city, experience band and company size over time; share of remote roles; which skills large companies ask for versus startups. | | **Candidates and job-alert builders** | Your own alert for `golang` jobs at small companies in Bangalore, delivered to a sheet, Slack or email the moment they appear. | | **AI agents (MCP)** | Ask Claude or ChatGPT "new Python jobs in Hyderabad at startups posted this week" and let it call this Actor through Apify's MCP server. | ### Quick start (about a minute) 1. Click **Try for free**. The form is pre-filled with `python`. 2. Optionally add skills or roles (`react`, `data science`, `product management`), cities (`Bangalore`, `Hyderabad`, `Work From Home`), a company size and **Posted within (days)** = `30`. 3. Click **Start**. 50 jobs with full descriptions take well under a minute and cost **$0.04**. 4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or save the input as a task, tick **Only new jobs since the last run** and **schedule it daily** to get a fresh feed in Google Sheets, a webhook, Make, Zapier or n8n. **From code** (returns the jobs in one call): ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/data_daemon~instahyre-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"queries": ["python"], "locations": ["Bangalore"], "companySizes": ["small", "medium"], "maxJobs": 100}' ``` **From an AI assistant:** add the MCP connector `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=data_daemon/instahyre-jobs-scraper` in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code. Need other India boards too? [IIMJobs Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/data_daemon/iimjobs-jobs-scraper), [Hirist.tech Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/data_daemon/hirist-jobs-scraper) and [Foundit Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/data_daemon/foundit-jobs-scraper) by the same publisher use the same `queries` / `locations` / `onlyNewSinceLastRun` / `skipJobIds` / `RUN-SUMMARY` conventions, so one pipeline handles all four boards. ### Input ```json { "queries": ["python", "golang"], "locations": ["Bangalore", "Work From Home"], "companySizes": ["small", "medium"], "minExperience": 2, "maxExperience": 6, "postedWithinDays": 30, "includeDescription": true, "maxJobsPerQuery": 50 } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `queries` | array | Skills or roles, one Instahyre search per item, matched against job titles and skill tags (`python`, `react`, `data science`, `java developer`). A job found by two keywords is saved and charged once. Required; `skills`, `query`, `keywords` and `search` are accepted as aliases. | | `locations` | array | Optional cities as Instahyre lists them: `Bangalore`, `Mumbai`, `Delhi`, `Gurgaon`, `Noida`, `Hyderabad`, `Chennai`, `Pune`, `Kolkata`, `Ahmedabad`, `Work From Home`; regions (`South India`) and about 300 smaller cities also work. Several cities = any of them. Applied by the site. `Bengaluru`, `Gurugram`, `Bombay`, `New Delhi` and `Remote` are mapped; an unknown name is ignored and reported in the status message. | | `companySizes` | array | Any of `small` (under 100 employees), `medium` (100-1,000), `large` (over 1,000). Applied by the site. | | `companies` | array | Only jobs posted by these companies (`Amazon`, `Deutsche Telekom Digital Labs`). With an empty keyword list this watches everything a company posts. | | `jobType` | string | `all` (default), `full-time` or `internship`. | | `experienceYears` | integer | Instahyre's own filter: jobs open to a candidate with exactly this many years. Applied by the site, so nothing outside it is fetched. | | `minExperience` / `maxExperience` | integer | Experience band in years (0-30), overlap semantics: a 3-6 year job matches `minExperience: 5`. Read from each job page; jobs that state no range are kept. | | `postedWithinDays` | integer | Only jobs posted in the last N days (1-365). Instahyre keeps jobs open for months and its search has no date filter, so the Actor reads the posting date from each job page and leaves out older jobs without charging; in only-new mode those are remembered too, so later runs do not re-check them. | | `includeDescription` | boolean | Fetch the public job page for each job (default `true`, one extra request per job, same price): full description, posting date, experience range, employment type, job functions and company website. Off = listing fields only (title, company profile, cities, skills, URL), about three times as fast. | | `maxJobsPerQuery` | integer | Stop a keyword after this many new jobs (default 50). The site serves 35 jobs per page, so 1,000 jobs are about 29 search requests. | | `maxJobs` | integer | Hard cap on saved jobs for the whole run (0 = no cap). | | `onlyNewSinceLastRun` | boolean | Deliver only jobs that an earlier run with the same `stateName` has not delivered; skipped jobs are not charged (default `false`). | | `stateName` | string | Name of this saved search's memory for `onlyNewSinceLastRun`. Derived from the keywords, cities and filters when empty. Use a new name to start over. | | `skipJobIds` | array | Job `id`s you already have, as an array of strings or numbers. Skipped before any page fetch and never charged. Large arrays are fine. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional (Advanced). Instahyre answers Apify's datacenter IPs directly, so none is needed. | Bad input never fails the run: unknown fields are ignored with a warning, a reversed experience range is swapped, an unknown city is dropped and named in the status message, a keyword with no matches ends with `Saved 0 jobs`, and an empty keyword list with a city, company or size filter still searches that filter. ### Output One record per job.
