Shine Jobs Scraper | Shine.com India Jobs API with Salaries

Shine Jobs Scraper is a pay-per-result Apify Actor that returns job listings from Shine.com, HT Media's job board for jobs across India, as JSON, CSV or Excel. Search by keyword and city. Each row has the full job description (text and HTML), the salary range (as shown and as numbers), experience range, skills, industry, job function, employment type, cities, posting date and expiry date. It is for job aggregators and job-alert apps, recruiters and staffing agencies, salary and labour-market analysts and B2B lead generation. Price: $0.80 per 1,000 jobs, plus $0.001 per run. You need no login, cookies or browser. On 26 October 2026 Shine listed 17,500 open jobs for python, 23,800 jobs in Bangalore and 2,860 in Kochi.

$0.0008 per job, description included, plus $0.001 per run. Apify's free plan ($5 credit every month) covers about 6,000 jobs with full descriptions. It is built for schedules. Results are read newest first, and with Only new jobs since the last run a daily run returns, and charges for, only the jobs you have not received before.

Live check, 30 Oct 2026: the default run (50 newest python jobs with descriptions) took 23 seconds on the Apify platform and cost $0.04 plus the $0.001 start fee.

You are	What this Actor gives you

Salary and labour-market analysts	Salary ranges by role, city, experience and industry, with dates for trend lines; many Shine employers state a range (19 of 50 on the 30 Oct 2026 default run).
B2B sales and lead generation	Companies with many open roles in a function are buying tools and services for it.
AI agents (MCP)	Ask Claude or ChatGPT "data analyst jobs in Pune posted this week with salary" and let it call this Actor through Apify's MCP server.

Ready-to-run examples: accountant jobs in Mumbai posted this week and data analyst jobs for freshers, posted this week.

Recipe: new accountant and finance jobs in two cities, every morning

{
    "searchTerms": ["accountant", "financial analyst"],
    "cities": ["Mumbai", "Pune"],
    "postedWithinDays": 2,
    "maxJobsPerSearch": 0,
    "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true,
    "stateName": "finance-jobs-daily"
}

1. Paste the input, click Save as task, then Schedules → Create schedule → Daily (for example 0 8 * * *, 08:00 IST) and add the task.
2. Each later run delivers only jobs that were not delivered before, and skipped jobs are not charged. The memory is a key-value store named shine-jobs-state in your own Apify account, one record per stateName.
3. Every run writes a RUN-SUMMARY record with found, new, filtered, skipped and charged counts, so a webhook consumer can decide what to do without opening the dataset.

Where the results go

• CSV or Excel download: the run's Output tab, or https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<datasetId>/items?format=csv for a direct file link.
• Google Sheets: the task's Integrations tab has an Apify Google Sheets integration that appends every run's rows to a sheet.
• Slack, email, webhook: a message per run, or a webhook to your backend when the run finishes.
• Make, Zapier, n8n: use the Apify module/node with the task id, or call the synchronous endpoint above.
• Ready-made GitHub Actions template: india-job-alerts runs this Actor (and our IIMJobs, Hirist, Foundit, Instahyre, Apna and Unstop scrapers) every morning from your own GitHub repository and posts the new jobs to a GitHub issue, Slack, Telegram or Discord, with a CSV history.

How much does it cost to scrape Shine.com?

Event	Price	When it is charged
Job	$0.0008	Each job saved to your dataset, description included
Actor start	$0.001	Once per run

That is $0.80 per 1,000 jobs. Jobs skipped by only-new mode, skipJobIds, de-duplication or your city, experience and date filters are never charged. Scale plans pay 15% less and Business plans 30% less. If Shine refuses direct requests, the Actor continues through Apify's anti-bot proxy at no extra charge per job.

How teams use it	Volume	Cost
Quick look: 50 python jobs with descriptions (measured 30 Oct 2026)	50 jobs, 23 seconds	$0.041
500 newest data analyst jobs	500 jobs	$0.40
Daily feed: 3 keywords × 2 cities, only new	about 40 new jobs a day	about $1 a month

Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month: about 6,000 jobs with descriptions, enough for a trial and several small daily feeds.

Tips

• Shine's keyword search is broad. data analyst also matches related titles, so use experienceYears, cities and postedWithinDays to narrow it.
• Turn off includeDescription for a fast list (titles, companies, cities, experience, salary text, skills). It needs one request per 20 jobs instead of one per job.
• For salary benchmarking, filter on non-null salaryMin; on the 30 Oct 2026 default run 19 of 50 python jobs showed a range.
• Set a maximum cost per run on the task. The Actor stops cleanly at the limit and says so in the status message.

FAQ

Is there an official Shine API?

Not a public one. This Actor reads Shine's public search and job pages, which robots.txt allows, and exposes them as a REST API with schedules, webhooks and only-new runs. Compared with an in-house scraper you get no maintenance, no proxies and pay-per-job pricing.

How much does it cost to scrape Shine.com?

$0.0008 per job with its description plus $0.001 per run, so 100 jobs cost about $0.08 and a 40-jobs-a-day feed about $1 a month.

Is it legal to scrape Shine.com?

The Actor only reads listings that Shine shows to anyone without a login, on pages its robots.txt allows, and it does not extract recruiter names, phone numbers or e-mail fields. Public job data is generally collected for aggregation, research and recruiting; you remain responsible for complying with Shine's terms of use and the data-protection law that applies to you.

Can I export Shine jobs to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every run's dataset downloads as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML, and the task's Integrations tab appends rows to a Google Sheet after each run.

Does it include recruiter contact details?

No. Some Shine scrapers sell recruiter e-mails and phone numbers; this Actor deliberately leaves personal contact fields out and returns the job, employer, salary and description data only.

Why do some jobs have no salary numbers?

The employer chose "Not Disclosed". salaryText then says so.

Do I need a proxy?

No. If Shine starts refusing direct requests, the Actor switches to Apify's anti-bot proxy by itself.
