## 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.

# README

## Naukri.com Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from [Naukri.com](https://www.naukri.com/), India's largest job portal with 100M+ registered users and 700K+ active job listings. Search by keyword, location, experience level, and work arrangement to extract structured job data at scale.

### What it does

The actor navigates Naukri's search results pages and intercepts the internal JSON API responses (`/jobapi/v3/search`), capturing fully structured job data — no fragile DOM scraping. It paginates automatically until your `maxItems` limit is reached or results are exhausted.

**Input:** keyword + optional filters → **Output:** one record per job listing with 17 structured fields.

### Use cases

- **Job market research** — track salary ranges, required skills, and hiring trends across companies and locations
- **Talent intelligence** — identify which companies are actively hiring for a given role
- **Competitive analysis** — monitor competitor job postings and growth signals
- **HR analytics** — bulk-gather job data for compensation benchmarking or skills gap analysis
- **Recruiting tools** — feed structured job data into your own applications or databases

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `keyword` | string (required) | Job search term, e.g. `python developer`, `data scientist`, `product manager` |
| `location` | string | City or region, e.g. `Bangalore`, `Mumbai`, `Delhi NCR`. Leave blank for all India. |
| `experienceMin` | integer | Minimum years of experience. Use `0` for fresher-friendly jobs. Default: `0` |
| `experienceMax` | integer | Maximum years of experience. Leave blank for no upper limit. |
| `workType` | string | Work arrangement filter: `work from home`, `hybrid`, `on-site`. Leave blank for all. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of listings to scrape. Default: `10` |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "keyword": "python developer",
  "location": "bangalore",
  "experienceMin": 2,
  "experienceMax": 7,
  "workType": "",
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

### Output

Each record contains:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `jobId` | Naukri internal job ID |
| `title` | Job title |
| `companyName` | Hiring company name |
| `companyRating` | Company rating on Naukri (0–5 scale, as string) |
| `salary` | Salary range as displayed (e.g. `10-20 Lacs PA`) |
| `experience` | Required experience range (e.g. `2-5 Yrs`) |
| `location` | Job location(s) |
| `skills` | Required skills, comma-separated |
| `jobDescription` | Full job description text |
| `postedOn` | Date posted (Unix timestamp as string) |
| `jobAge` | Human-readable posting age (e.g. `3 Days Ago`, `30+ Days Ago`) |
| `jobUrl` | Direct link to the job detail page |
| `isWork_from_home` | `"true"` if work-from-home eligible |
| `isFresher` | `"true"` if the role is open to freshers (0 years experience required) |
| `tags` | Naukri listing tags |
| `footerPlaceholderLabel` | Footer context label (e.g. `Recruiting actively`) |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp when the record was scraped |

#### Example output record

```json
{
  "jobId": "87654321",
  "title": "Senior Python Developer",
  "companyName": "Infosys",
  "companyRating": "3.9",
  "salary": "12-20 Lacs PA",
  "experience": "3-6 Yrs",
  "location": "Bengaluru",
  "skills": "Python, Django, REST APIs, AWS",
  "jobDescription": "We are looking for an experienced Python developer...",
  "postedOn": "1748390400000",

  "jobUrl": "https://www.naukri.com/job-listings/senior-python-developer-87654321",
  "isWork_from_home": "false",
  "isFresher": "false",
  "tags": "",
  "footerPlaceholderLabel": "Recruiting actively",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-28T10:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Notes

- **Residential proxy** — Naukri blocks datacenter IPs. The actor uses DataImpulse residential proxy automatically; you are not charged for proxy usage.
- **Rate limiting** — A 3-second delay between page requests respects Naukri's servers and avoids blocks.
- **Experience filter** — `experienceMin` is passed server-side. `experienceMax` is applied client-side (the API does not support it natively).
- **Pagination** — Naukri returns up to 20 results per page; the actor paginates automatically to reach your `maxItems` target.
- **Freshers** — Set `experienceMin: 0` for fresher-friendly listings; filter further with `isFresher: "true"` in your output.

### Pricing

Priced per result record (Pay Per Event). You are charged only for data you receive.
