## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

Extract public Indeed job listings without a login. Search by keyword and location, set how many jobs you want, and get clean structured rows back. Pagination is walked automatically up to the limit you set.

### What it does

- **Job search** by query and location. Returns title, company, company rating and review count, location (city, state, ZIP), salary (with parsed min, max, and period), job type, schedule, benefits, posting date, remote status, and the apply link.
- **Multiple searches** in one run. Pass a list of query and location pairs and they run in parallel.
- **Filters** for posting date, remote-only roles, and sort by relevance or date.

No account, no password, no API key. Give it a query and a location and it returns clean structured rows.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | What to search for (title, keyword, or company). |
| `location` | string | City, state, ZIP, or `Remote`. Empty searches the whole country. |
| `country` | string | Two-letter country code. Default `us`. |
| `searches` | array | Optional list of `{ "query": "...", "location": "..." }` pairs to run together. |
| `maxItemsPerSearch` | integer | Cap per search. Default 50. |
| `datePosted` | integer | Only jobs posted within this many days. 0 = no limit. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Restrict to remote roles. |
| `sort` | string | `relevance` or `date`. |
| `concurrency` | integer | Searches processed in parallel. Default 3. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 100,
  "datePosted": 7,
  "sort": "date"
}
```

Running several searches at once:

```json
{
  "searches": [
    { "query": "data analyst", "location": "Remote" },
    { "query": "product manager", "location": "New York, NY" }
  ],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 50
}
```

### Output

Each job row:

```json
{
  "type": "job",
  "id": "0a1b2c3d4e5f6789",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Co",
  "companyRating": 4.1,
  "companyReviewCount": 128,
  "location": "Austin, TX 78731",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "postalCode": "78731",
  "isRemote": false,
  "remoteType": "Hybrid work",
  "salary": {
    "text": "$120,000 - $160,000 a year",
    "min": 120000,
    "max": 160000,
    "period": "yearly",
    "currency": "USD"
  },
  "jobTypes": ["Full-time"],
  "schedule": [],
  "benefits": ["Health insurance", "401(k)", "Paid time off"],
  "description": "Build and maintain backend services...",
  "isSponsored": false,
  "isUrgentlyHiring": false,
  "isNew": true,
  "easyApply": true,
  "postedRelative": "3 days ago",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-14T00:00:00.000Z",
  "url": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=0a1b2c3d4e5f6789",
  "searchQuery": "software engineer",
  "searchLocation": "Austin, TX"
}
```

### Use cases

- Build a live feed of new postings for a role and market.
- Track hiring activity and salary ranges across companies.
- Power a job board, alerting tool, or recruiting research dashboard.

### Notes

- Ratings, review counts, and salaries reflect the values shown at scrape time.
- Salary `min`, `max`, and `period` are populated when a numeric range is available; otherwise only `text` is set.
- A residential proxy is strongly recommended and on by default for reliable results.
- `maxItemsPerSearch` walks as many pages as needed to reach your target.

To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

What to search for (job title, keyword, or company). Example: software engineer. Leave the location empty for a country-wide search.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, state, ZIP, or 'Remote'. Leave empty to search the whole country. Example: Austin, TX.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Country site to search. Two-letter code. Example: us, gb, ca, de, in, au.

## `searches` (type: `array`):

Run several query and location pairs in one go. Each entry is an object like {"query": "data analyst", "location": "New York"}. Entries may also set their own country, datePosted, remoteOnly, or sort, overriding the shared values above.

## `maxItemsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Cap on jobs returned per search. Pagination is walked across multiple pages until this is reached or results run out.

## `datePosted` (type: `integer`):

Only return jobs posted within this many days. 0 means no date limit.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

When on, restrict results to remote roles.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort results by relevance or by date.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many searches to process in parallel.

## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Residential proxy is strongly recommended and on by default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "country": "us",
  "searches": [],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 50,
  "datePosted": 0,
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "sort": "relevance",
  "concurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "searches": []
}' |
apify call goat255/indeed-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,goat255/indeed-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
