Google Jobs Scraper

Collect public Google Jobs results by job title, skill, location, or Google Jobs search URL. Get descriptions, salary data, qualifications, benefits, employer information, and application links when Google supplies them.

Find emails, phone numbers, and social profiles on employer websites. Search in a selected country and language. Save each job as an Apify Dataset item. No Google account is required.

Use cases

• Recruitment research: find open roles by skill, employer, employment type, and location.
• Vacancy monitoring: repeat a search and compare the saved job datasets.
• Salary research: collect published pay ranges, currencies, and pay periods.
• Employer research: collect company websites, ratings, and published website contacts.
• Job data collection: build a dataset of descriptions, qualifications, benefits, responsibilities, and application links.

Choose how to search

Starting point	Input	Use it for
A job title or skill	keyword and optional location	Search for jobs in an area.
An existing Google Jobs search	searchUrl	Keep the search text and URL filters.

Each run accepts one keyword and one location, or one search URL. If you supply searchUrl, its search text takes priority over keyword and location.

Choose what to collect

Option	Default	Effect
includeJobDetails	false	Request extra job details, including descriptions, employer websites, and ratings when available. Details already in the search results are kept with this option off.
enrichContacts	false	Read employer websites for emails, phone numbers, and social profiles.

Website contacts work with either setting of includeJobDetails. A job must have an employer website supplied in the search results or extra job details. Contact collection is off by default.

Search jobs in a location

{
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "location": "Bengaluru",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "locale": {
    "countryCode": "IN",
    "languageCode": "en"
  }
}

The location is part of the search text. For this example, the Actor searches for software engineer jobs in Bengaluru. Google selects the matching jobs. The location does not set a strict geographic boundary.

The Actor gets more result pages when needed. maxItems is an upper limit, not a required result count. It accepts a positive integer with no fixed upper cap. Google can return fewer jobs than requested.

Use a Google Jobs URL

{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.google.com/search?q=certified+nursing+assistant+jobs+Fresno+CA&udm=8&gl=us&hl=en",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Use an HTTPS Google search URL with a non-empty q parameter and either udm=8 or ibp=htl;jobs. A selected-job URL fragment does not request that specific job. The Actor uses the search.

Country and language come from URL gl and hl values unless locale supplies them. The search text and encoded filters are kept. locale, googleDomain, and filters.radiusKm can replace URL settings.

Set the country, language, and Google domain

{
  "keyword": "software engineer",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "googleDomain": "google.de",
  "locale": {
    "countryCode": "DE",
    "languageCode": "de"
  },
  "maxItems": 50
}

locale.countryCode controls Google gl. locale.languageCode controls Google hl. Use "auto" for the language to let Google select it. googleDomain changes the search host. These are separate controls.

Filter recent jobs by employment type

{
  "keyword": "certified nursing assistant",
  "location": "Fresno, CA",
  "locale": {
    "countryCode": "US",
    "languageCode": "en"
  },
  "maxItems": 50,
  "filters": {
    "datePosted": "week",
    "jobTypes": ["full-time"],
    "radiusKm": 30,
    "salaryOnly": true
  }
}

Date, employment type, remote work, and no-degree filters use Google search controls. Salary, posting age, employer name, and source name filters use the returned job fields. The radius is a Google search setting. Jobs outside that radius can appear.

Find employer contacts

{
  "keyword": "nurse",
  "location": "Fresno, CA",
  "locale": {
    "countryCode": "US",
    "languageCode": "en"
  },
  "maxItems": 20,
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "enrichContacts": true
}

This example requests job details and reads available employer websites for contacts. Contact collection can increase run time. A website error does not remove the job.

Selected job fields

This example shows some fields from one Fresno job. A full Dataset item has more fields.

{
  "id": "mBdGpYoWEsTQB2vIAAAAAA==",
  "title": "Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)",
  "company": "Sunnyside Rehab of Fresno",
  "location": "Fresno, CA",
  "employment": {
    "types": ["Full-time"]
  },
  "salary": {
    "text": "$19 an hour",
    "disclosed": true,
    "min": 19,
    "max": 19,
    "currency": "USD",
    "period": "hour"
  },
  "highlights": {
    "benefits": ["Dental insurance", "Health insurance", "Paid time off"]
  },
  "education": {
    "label": "No Degree Mentioned"
  },
  "jobDetails": {
    "status": "loaded"
  }
}

Phone values can use these formats:

{
  "phoneNumbers": ["+14155550123", "02079460958;ext=42"]
}

This phone example shows the format only. It is not a contact record for the employer above.

Search and field limits

Result count and pagination

There is no fixed cap on the result count. The Actor stops when it reaches maxItems or when Google has no more new jobs. A very large search can fail if it takes too long. If this occurs, use a lower maxItems.

The Actor gets more result pages when needed and removes duplicate jobs. No page number or page token input is needed.

Optional job details

With includeJobDetails: false, you get the descriptions and other details that Google shows in the search results. With true, the Actor collects more details for each job. This can increase run time.

jobDetails.status: "loaded" means the Actor got usable extra details for the job. It does not guarantee a website, ratings, or a description. If the extra details cannot be loaded, the job keeps the details from the search results and reports failed.

Country, language, and job variation

Available fields can differ by job, country, and language. Empty arrays and null values can mean that the information is not available for that job. Optional fields can be absent.

The Actor reads job labels in many languages. A field can be empty when Google words a label in a way that the Actor does not recognize. applyOptions[].direct is set for English labels only. If Google changes its search filters, a filtered search can fail.

Salary amounts are null when the Actor cannot identify them. Posting dates calculated from relative labels have postedAtEstimated: true. Work arrangement and employment types are not taken from the description text. Benefit text is kept in highlights.benefits; separate benefit flags and seniority levels are not added.

Employer websites and application links

The Actor replaces Google redirect links with their destination URLs. If a link cannot be resolved, the Google link is kept. Links inside description text are not changed.

Employer websites come from the returned job data. The Actor does not search for a missing employer website. Jobs without a website remain in the output.

Website contacts

With enrichContacts, the Actor reads the employer website and up to three linked contact, legal, team, or about pages on the same site. Jobs with the same website share one visit per run.

It finds email addresses on these pages, including protected or written-out forms such as info [at] example [dot] com. Addresses on the website's own domain rank first, then free mailboxes, then other domains. Placeholder and platform addresses are removed. Addresses whose domain cannot receive mail are also removed.

It collects only numbers that the website marks as phone numbers. It does not collect other digit sequences from page text. It removes duplicate numbers across pages. Supported numbers have 7 to 15 digits, with an optional + prefix and an optional ;ext= extension of up to ten digits. Local numbers keep their local form.

It reads social profiles for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and WhatsApp. Job boards, directories, and social network pages are skipped as websites. A supported social website link can still be added as a profile.

A website can have no published contacts, or it can block automated access. The Actor stops reading a page that is too slow or too large. Contact arrays can therefore be empty.

contactsStatus	Meaning
scraped	The Actor read the website. Contact arrays can still be empty.
skipped	The website is a platform or social network page. It was not read for contacts.
blocked	The website refused automated access.
failed	The website did not load, returned an error, or did not return a usable page.

Contact fields are added only to jobs with a website when enrichContacts is on. Jobs without a website stay unchanged. Turning enrichContacts off does not add contact fields.

Charges

You pay for each job saved to the Dataset. With includeJobDetails on, each job with jobDetails.status: "loaded" has an extra job-detail charge. Jobs whose extra details fail are not charged for details.

If the run reaches your maximum charge limit, the Actor stops saving jobs. The result can then contain fewer than maxItems jobs.
