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.

Increase it for market research or scheduled monitoring. - **Expect optional fields** such as compensation, employer ratings, logos, apply signals, and exact coordinates to vary by listing. - **Keep searches consistent** when tracking trends over time so changes reflect the market, not changing filters. ### ⚖️ Legal & Ethical Considerations - **Respect Indeed's Terms of Service** and applicable website rules. - **Handle personal data responsibly** and comply with privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, and local employment-data regulations. - **Use reasonable volumes** and avoid abusive or disruptive collection patterns. - **Use the data fairly** for analysis, recruiting, lead generation, or research workflows that comply with your policies and local law. - This Actor is an independent tool and is **not** affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Indeed.

Set `location` to `"Remote"` and choose the `country` whose Indeed market you want to search. **Does the actor return salary data?** Yes, when Indeed provides visible compensation or salary estimates. Many listings do not include pay information, so compensation fields may be missing or empty. **Can I search outside the United States?** Yes. Set `country` to a supported country code such as `"GB"`, `"CA"`, `"DE"`, `"FR"`, `"ES"`, `"AU"`, `"IN"`, or `"JP"`. **Why do some fields vary between jobs?** Indeed listings are not all structured the same way. Employer ratings, logos, salary data, coordinates, occupations, attributes, and apply availability depend on what each listing provides. ### 🛟 Support Need a custom field, country, export format, or recurring data workflow?
