## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Job Scraper

**Extract job listings from [Naukri.com](https://www.naukri.com)** — India's largest job portal — including job title, company name, location, salary, posted date, and full description. Just paste any Naukri search result URL and get clean, structured job data ready for analysis, lead generation, or feeding into your own job board.

<img src="https://i.postimg.cc/TY4JGd9y/how-naukri-com-job-scraper-works.png" alt="How the Naukri.com Job Scraper Apify Actor works: provide input, the actor scrapes the site, get structured output" />

### ✨ Features

- **Job listing extraction** — title, company, location, salary, posted date, and full description for every job on a search page
- **Pagination support** — automatically follows "Next" page links until the requested number of jobs is collected
- **Proxy support** — optional Apify Proxy configuration for higher-volume runs

### 🔧 Input Configuration

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | ✅ | `https://www.naukri.com/data-analyst-jobs` | One or more Naukri.com job search result page URLs |
| `maxItems` | integer | — | `5` | Maximum number of jobs to scrape per start URL |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Apify Proxy settings |

**Supported URL types:**
Any Naukri.com job search results page, e.g. `https://www.naukri.com/data-analyst-jobs`, `https://www.naukri.com/jobs-in-bangalore`, or a filtered search results URL copied directly from your browser.

**What to put in Start URLs:**

1. Go to [naukri.com](https://www.naukri.com) and search for the role, skill, or location you're interested in (e.g. "Data Analyst" or "Jobs in Bangalore").
2. Apply any filters you want — experience level, location, salary, etc. — directly on the Naukri search page.
3. Copy the resulting URL from your browser's address bar.
4. Paste it into **Start URLs**. Add multiple URLs to scrape several searches in one run.

Only `naukri.com` URLs are accepted — other URLs are skipped with a warning in the run log.

### 📦 Output

One dataset item per job listing, viewable in the **Overview** table (title, company, location, salary, posted date, URL).

**Sample output:**
```json
[
    {
        "title": "Climate Data Analyst",
        "companyName": "MSCI Services",
        "location": "Pune",
        "salaryRange": "Not Disclosed",
        "postedDate": "2026-07-16",
        "description": "The Climate Data and Content team is responsible for research and assessment of carbon footprint...",
        "url": "https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-climate-data-analyst-msci-services-pvt-ltd-pune-0-to-4-years-090726505446"
    },
    {
        "title": "Data Analyst",
        "companyName": "Cognizant",
        "location": "Hyderabad",
        "salaryRange": "Not Disclosed",
        "postedDate": "2026-07-21",
        "description": "Role: Data Analyst\n\nExperience: 5+ years...",
        "url": "https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-data-analyst-cognizant-hyderabad-5-to-10-years-261125013003"
    }
]
````

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### 💡 Uses of This Data

- Job market and salary trend analysis for a role or industry
- Sourcing candidate leads for recruitment agencies
- Feeding a job aggregator or job board with fresh listings
- Competitive hiring intelligence — tracking which companies are actively hiring
- Building alerts for newly posted roles matching your criteria

### 🚀 How to Use

1. [Sign up](https://apify.com/sign-up) for a free Apify account — includes **$5 monthly credit**.
2. Open the actor page and click **Try for free**.
3. Paste one or more Naukri.com search result URLs into **Start URLs**.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete.
5. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

You can also integrate this actor directly into your workflows using [Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/apify), [Make](https://www.make.com/), or [n8n](https://n8n.io/).

### ⚠️ Limitations & Known Issues

- **Occasional rate limiting** — Naukri.com may briefly block a request under heavy load; the actor retries automatically. For large-volume runs, enabling a proxy is recommended.
- **Salary visibility** — Many listings on Naukri.com mark salary as "Not Disclosed" by the employer; this is reflected as-is in the output.

### 📝 Notes

- **Proxy recommended for large-scale scraping** — For high-volume runs, enable the Apify proxy to reduce the chance of temporary blocks.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Naukri.com job search result page URLs to start scraping from.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to scrape for each start URL.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Naukri.com works reliably without a proxy for normal-volume runs; enable it if you hit blocks on large runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.naukri.com/data-analyst-jobs"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
