Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use 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 ## Multi Job Board Scraper - Indeed, Google Jobs, LinkedIn & More **Scrape job listings from Indeed, Google Jobs, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor by keyword and location. Export clean, deduplicated job data with companies, salaries, posting dates, descriptions, and URLs.** Search once across multiple job boards and get one structured dataset. Use it to find software engineer jobs, remote data jobs, AI/ML roles, product manager openings, nurse jobs, marketing jobs, and other hiring-market data across major job boards. --- ### What it does - Searches one or many keywords across your chosen job boards and locations. - Returns **one clean row per job**: title, company, location, board, job type, remote flag, **normalized salary**, posting date, and URL. - **Deduplicates across boards** so the same job posted to Indeed *and* LinkedIn appears once. - Filters by remote, job type, posting recency, and location. Default boards are **Indeed + Google Jobs**, which are the most reliable for typical runs. The Actor uses Apify Proxy by default when no proxy configuration is provided, because job boards often block plain datacenter traffic. ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor are supported but more variable; residential proxy works best for them. --- ### Who it's for - **Recruiters & sourcers** — pull fresh openings across boards into one sheet. - **Job seekers & job-board builders** — aggregate listings programmatically. - **Labor-market researchers** — track roles, salaries, and hiring trends. - **ATS / HR-tech** — feed live postings into your pipeline. --- ### Popular searches and use cases Use this Actor for focused job-search and market-research workflows such as: - **Software engineer jobs in New York** — collect engineering roles from Indeed, Google Jobs, and optional extra boards with salary and company details. - **Remote data engineer jobs** — find remote data engineering openings across major job boards. - **Remote AI and machine learning jobs** — search AI engineer, ML engineer, and machine learning engineer roles in one run. - **Product manager jobs in London** — gather UK product roles with normalized job records. - **Digital marketing jobs in the USA** — track SEO specialist, content marketing, and digital marketing manager openings. - **Nurse jobs in California** — collect registered nurse, RN, and nurse practitioner jobs by location. - **Recruiter sourcing lists** — build structured lead lists of current hiring companies by role, location, and board. You can save any configuration as an Apify task for repeated runs, scheduled job monitoring, or API integrations. --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchTerm` | string | — | Job title / keyword (e.g. "software engineer") | | `searchTerms` | array | — | Run several searches in one go | | `location` | string | — | City, state, or country (e.g. "New York, NY") | | `jobBoards` | array | `[indeed, google]` | Boards to scrape | | `maxResultsPerSite` | integer | `50` | Results per board per term | | `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Hard cap on total jobs (0 = unlimited) | | `hoursOld` | integer | — | Only jobs posted within N hours | | `jobType` | enum | any | full-time / part-time / contract / internship / temporary | | `remoteOnly` | boolean | `false` | Remote positions only | | `countryIndeed` | string | `USA` | Country for Indeed / Glassdoor | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy | Proxy settings. Leave default for the most reliable runs | At least one of `searchTerm` / `searchTerms` is required. #### Example input ```json { "searchTerm": "software engineer", "location": "New York, NY", "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google"], "maxResultsPerSite": 50, "remoteOnly": false } ```` #### Remote AI jobs example ```json { "searchTerms": ["ai engineer", "machine learning engineer", "ml engineer"], "location": "Remote", "remoteOnly": true, "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google"], "maxResultsPerSite": 40, "maxItems": 300, "countryIndeed": "USA" } ``` #### Recruiter sourcing example ```json { "searchTerms": ["software engineer", "data engineer", "product manager"], "location": "United States", "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google"], "maxResultsPerSite": 50, "maxItems": 500, "countryIndeed": "USA" } ``` #### LinkedIn + Indeed sourcing example ```json { "searchTerms": ["sales manager", "account executive", "business development"], "location": "United States", "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google", "linkedin"], "maxResultsPerSite": 30, "maxItems": 300, "countryIndeed": "USA" } ``` #### Fresh remote software jobs example ```json { "searchTerms": ["software engineer", "backend engineer", "full stack developer"], "location": "Remote", "remoteOnly": true, "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google"], "hoursOld": 168, "maxResultsPerSite": 50, "maxItems": 300 } ``` #### Healthcare jobs example ```json { "searchTerms": ["registered nurse", "nurse practitioner", "medical assistant"], "location": "California", "jobBoards": ["indeed", "google"], "maxResultsPerSite": 50, "maxItems": 500, "countryIndeed": "USA" } ``` More in [`examples/`](examples/). *** ### Output One dataset row per job: ```json { "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "company": "Acme", "location": "New York, NY, US", "jobBoard": "indeed", "jobType": "fulltime", "isRemote": false, "salary": "$120,000 - $150,000 / year", "datePosted": "2026-06-12", "jobUrl": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=...", "companyUrl": null, "description": "…", "searchTerm": "software engineer" } ``` A `SUMMARY` key-value record holds totals, boards, and any warnings. *** ### Tips & limitations - **Indeed / Google Jobs** are the safest default boards. **ZipRecruiter / LinkedIn / Glassdoor** are more aggressively protected — keep **Apify Proxy** enabled and use residential proxy for better coverage. - For large or scheduled runs, keep Apify Proxy enabled to avoid rate limits. - Salaries are only as complete as the board provides; many postings omit them. - Built on the open-source [`python-jobspy`](https://github.com/cullenwatson/JobSpy) library. - Scrapes publicly listed jobs only. Respect each board's terms of use. *** ### Changelog See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md). # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerm` (type: `string`): Job title or keyword to search for, e.g. "software engineer". ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Run several searches in one go (in addition to or instead of the single term above). ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, or country, e.g. "New York, NY" or "Remote". ## `jobBoards` (type: `array`): Which boards to scrape.
