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. 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, 26 Oct 2026: data analyst in Bangalore and Pune with 2 years of experience, posted in the last 3 days, gave 20 jobs from the first few pages (98 others were older, elsewhere or for another experience band, and were not charged). 50 python jobs with descriptions take about a minute.

Scheduling & automation

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"
}

Save it as a task and add a daily schedule. 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. Every run writes a RUN-SUMMARY record with found, new, filtered, skipped and charged counts. The task's Integrations tab sends results to Google Sheets, Slack, email or a webhook.

How much does it cost to scrape Shine?

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	50 jobs	$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

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.
• 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.

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.
