Google Jobs API: Listings with Salaries & Every Apply Link

A Google Jobs API and scraper: job listings from every job board Google for Jobs indexes, for any search: title, company, location, source, posting age, job type, salary, benefits, every "Apply on ..." link, Google's job highlights (qualifications, responsibilities, benefits) and the full description. Search the way you would on Google: "registered nurse jobs in Chicago".

• Complete jobs, not just cards. Each job comes with its full description and all of its apply options (often 5-8 sites: the employer, LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor ...).
• More than Google's first 10. Google shows 10 jobs per search page. Ask for more and the actor also runs your search with Google's own filter phrasings ("in the last 3 days", "part time", "contract", "entry level" ...) and merges the unique jobs: typically 40-60 per search, up to about 90 with the wider filters. Every job says which search found it.
• Reliable. Tested on Apify: the first page answered for 80 of 82 varied searches (with up to 3 tries each), and a 15-search run at 50 jobs each returned 661 unique jobs with no failed search.
• Pay per job: $0.003. Searches that fail or find nothing are never charged, and a job found by two searches is delivered and charged once.

Use cases

• Niche job boards and job aggregators. Fill a board for one role, city or industry from every source Google for Jobs covers, with the employer's own apply link where Google lists it.
• Recruiting and sales research. See who is hiring for a role in a region, and through which job sites.
• Salary research. Salary ranges where the posting or Google shows one (not every job has one).
• Labor-market tracking. Schedule the same searches weekly and count new postings by title, company and job type.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
queries	array	[]	One search per line: software engineer jobs in Austin, data analyst remote, barista. "jobs" is added when missing. Empty = a free format example.
location	string	none	Added to every search that does not mention it: Denver, CO.
maxJobsPerQuery	integer	30	1-100. Above 10, the filter fan-out described above is used.
widerSearch	boolean	false	Also merge Google's "remote", "internship" and "no degree" filters (more jobs, but they can fall outside your location or seniority).
country	string	us	Google country code (gl).
language	string	en	Google interface language (hl). The filter fan-out works in English only; other languages get the first 10 jobs per search.
includeDescription	boolean	true	Turn off for smaller datasets.

}

• matchedSearch is the exact search that found the job (your search, or your search plus a filter phrase).
• postedAgo, jobType, salary and tags are what Google shows on the job: not every job has a salary. tags holds the other chips, such as benefits or "No Degree Mentioned".
• applyOptions[].url is Google's link to the site (it redirects there when opened). direct: true marks the employer's own site.
• highlights is Google's summary of the posting; description is the full text as Google has it.
• A search with no jobs gives one record with status: "no-results"; a search that could not be completed gives status: "failed" and an error. Neither is charged.

Event	Price	When it is charged

Limits, stated plainly

• Google returns 10 jobs per search page and loads the rest only inside a browser as you scroll. This actor does not drive a browser; it widens your search with Google's own filters instead. For very broad searches ("jobs in New York") that is fewer jobs than scrolling Google by hand would show. Splitting a search by title or neighborhood finds more.
• Google search pages through Apify's Google proxy are slow: about 30 seconds for 10 jobs and about 3 minutes for 50 (the filtered searches run three at a time). Several searches run in parallel.
• Apply links point to Google's redirect, not straight to the job site.
• Public data only: no login, no personal data.

Privacy

Only your search terms are sent to Google. Results are stored only in your run's dataset. The actor runs with limited permissions and reads nothing else in your account.
