Indeed Jobs Scraper: extract job listings from Indeed

Indeed Jobs Scraper fetches job listings from Indeed and returns them as structured data. Point it at a keyword and a location, and you get titles, company names, salaries, job types, apply links, and posting dates.

FAQ

What fields come back for each job? Title, company, rating, location, salary, job type, remote flag, posting date, excerpt, apply link, Easy Apply flag, and a scrape timestamp. Fields that weren't on the listing come back as null.

Can I search multiple keywords and locations at once? Yes — put them in searchQueries and locations. Nine combinations from three keywords and three locations, all in one run.

Can I pull jobs from a specific company? Yes. Put the company name in companyName.

Does it get the full job description? No, just the excerpt on the search results page. The full description is behind the applyLink.
