## What's an Apify Actor?
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).

## Indeed Job Scraper — Pay Per Result · 50% Cheaper · 10 Countries
Bulk-scrape Indeed job listings with structured salary, full descriptions, and every filter you'd use on the site itself. HTTP-first with automatic browser fallback when Cloudflare challenges — no manual proxy juggling, no captcha headaches.
**Use cases:** ATS feed building · job-market research · recruitment lead-gen · salary benchmarking · competitor hiring intelligence.
### Why this scraper?
- **$1.50 per 1,000 jobs** — half the price of the leading Indeed scraper, with the same fields.
- **10 country storefronts** — US, GB, CA, AU, IE, DE, FR, IT, NL, ES.
- **Structured salary** — min, max, currency, period (yearly/hourly/etc.) parsed from the raw text.
- **Full filter set** — date posted, job type, remote/hybrid, experience level, salary floor.
- **Cloudflare-safe** — HTTP-first with automatic browser fallback when challenged.
- **Two input modes** — keyword search OR pre-built search URL (paste from your browser).
### Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `search_queries` | string[] | — | Keywords to search |
| `search_urls` | string[] | — | Pre-built Indeed URLs (country auto-detected) |
| `country` | enum | `US` | Storefront country |
| `location` | string | — | City / region / "Remote" |
| `job_type` | enum | — | full-time, contract, etc. |
| `date_posted` | enum | — | last 24h, week, etc. |
| `workplace_type` | enum | — | remote, hybrid, on-site |
| `salary_min` | int | — | Annual salary floor |
| `fetch_descriptions` | bool | true | Fetch full description per job |
| `max_results` | int | 200 | Cap (hard limit 10000) |
| `proxy` | object | required | Apify residential or your own |
(One of `search_queries` or `search_urls` is required.)

### FAQ
**How does this handle Cloudflare?**
The scraper tries HTTP first (cheapest path). When Cloudflare challenges, it transparently escalates to a stealth browser (Camoufox) which solves the challenge automatically. Sticky cookies are reused across requests to amortize the browser cost.
**Do I need a residential proxy?**
Strongly recommended. Datacenter IPs hit Cloudflare challenges on every request, which forces browser fallback (slower & costlier). Residential IPs usually pass at the HTTP layer.
**Why isn't country X supported?**
We support the 10 largest English/European Indeed markets (US, GB, CA, AU, IE, DE, FR, IT, NL, ES). If you need another country, open an issue — adding a country is a 1-line change.
**Can I just paste an Indeed search URL?**
Yes — use the `search_urls` input. Country is auto-detected from the URL host (e.g. `uk.indeed.com` → `GB`).
**Why are some fields like `posted_iso` or `is_easy_apply` empty in the sample?**
The Indeed DOM doesn't always surface those on every job. We extract what's reliably present; missing fields are emitted as `null` rather than fabricated. Fill rates are tracked over time and additional extractors are added when patterns stabilize.

# Actor input Schema
## `search_queries` (type: `array`):
Keywords to search on Indeed. Each query opens https://<country>.indeed.com/jobs?q={keyword} and paginates through results.
Examples: python developer, data scientist, product manager
## `search_urls` (type: `array`):
Pre-built Indeed search URLs (paste from your browser after applying filters on Indeed.com). Country is auto-detected from the URL host.
## `country` (type: `string`):
Indeed regional storefront. Each maps to a country-specific TLD (US -> indeed.com, GB -> uk.indeed.com, etc.).
## `location` (type: `string`):
Location filter — city, state, postcode, or 'Remote'. Example: New York, London, Remote.
## `job_type` (type: `string`):
Filter by employment type.
## `experience_level` (type: `string`):
Filter by experience level (entry, mid, senior). Leave blank for any level.
## `workplace_type` (type: `string`):
Filter by workplace type: remote, hybrid, or on-site. Leave blank for any.
## `date_posted` (type: `string`):
Restrict results to jobs posted within this window (24 hours, 3 days, last week, last 2 weeks). Leave blank for any time.
## `salary_min` (type: `integer`):
Filter to listings paying at least this much (interpreted as annual salary in the country's currency).
## `fetch_descriptions` (type: `boolean`):
For each job card, also fetch the detail page and extract the full description (text + HTML). Doubles the request count but is required for description fields.
## `max_results` (type: `integer`):
Cap on jobs returned across all queries combined. Hard cap 10000.
## `max_concurrency` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of in-flight HTTP requests. Higher = faster but more likely to trigger rate limits or Cloudflare. Recommended: 2-6.
## `max_requests_per_minute` (type: `integer`):
Hard ceiling on request rate across all workers. Lowering this reduces blocking risk on residential proxies.
## `proxy` (type: `object`):
Recommended: Apify residential proxy. Cloudflare often passes residential IPs at the HTTP layer; datacenter IPs typically fail and force browser fallback (slower & costlier).
