What is LinkedIn Jobs Scraper?

Searches public LinkedIn job postings the way you would on LinkedIn: search terms or a pasted LinkedIn jobs search link, with an optional location and date posted filter. Every row is one job: title, company, location, posted date, pay when listed as text and numbers, and with descriptions on, the full description, applicant count, seniority, employment type, function and industries. Up to 1,000 jobs per search. Job posts only, never recruiter or applicant names. Searches with no jobs are skipped and not charged. Built for job market research, hiring signals and job boards.

• Search like on LinkedIn. Terms, location and filters, or paste a LinkedIn jobs search link.
• The whole posting. Full description, applicants, seniority, employment type, function and industries.
• Pay when listed. The salary text plus min, max, currency and period as numbers.

How to use LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

1. Open LinkedIn Jobs Scraper in the Apify Console. A free Apify account is enough to try it.
2. Paste your searches, one per line, or upload a list.
3. Click Start. Each search is processed on its own, so one bad entry never loses the batch.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to your own tools with an integration.

Input

One field: searches. Job search terms like "data engineer", or LinkedIn jobs search links.

location narrows every search to a place, like United States or London (default: anywhere).

postedWithin keeps only jobs posted in the past 24h, week or month (default any).

maxJobsPerSearch caps how many jobs come back per search (default 25, at most 1,000).

includeDescriptions reads each job page for the full description and details (default on). Switch it off for the list only, at the lower price.

Every line is checked before the run starts. Each must be job search terms like "data engineer", or a LinkedIn jobs search link; a run with any other line is refused with that line named, so a typo never costs you anything.

{
  "searches": [
    "data engineer"
  ],
  "location": "United States",
  "postedWithin": "week",
  "maxJobsPerSearch": 25,
  "includeDescriptions": true
}

Output

A search with no jobs is skipped and costs nothing. The run log names every one that was skipped, so a short result is never a mystery.

{
  "searchQuery": "data engineer",
  "jobId": "4443016515",
  "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4443016515",

How much does LinkedIn Jobs Scraper cost?

LinkedIn Jobs Scraper charges $2 per 1,000 jobs returned ($0.002 each), only on success. Jobs returned with their full description also cost $2 per 1,000 ($0.002 each) on top, because each one takes its own page read; switch descriptions off and you only pay for the list. There is no separate compute charge. For example, 1,000 jobs with descriptions cost $4, and 1,000 without cost $2.
