Google Jobs Scraper: Salaries, Descriptions & Apply Links

Get job postings from Google Jobs for any job title and location. Google Jobs collects openings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, company career sites and hundreds of job boards, so one search covers the whole market. Each job comes with the salary range (parsed into min, max and period), posted date, job type, remote flag, benefits, Google's job highlights (qualifications, responsibilities, benefits), the full description and every apply link. Google shows 10 jobs per search. This Actor runs extra searches automatically and returns 100-200 unique jobs per role without duplicates. Fast HTTP requests, no browser.

Tips

• Use Location for the city or country and keep the search itself short ("data analyst", not "data analyst jobs in Chicago").
• For jobs outside the US, set Location (e.g. "Berlin") and Google country (e.g. "de"). Keep the language "en" for English postings or set it to the local language.
• Max jobs per search: 10 is one Google search (fastest). 50-100 covers most roles in a city. Popular roles in big cities reach 200.
• About half of postings show a salary, because many employers do not publish it. Filter on salaryMin to keep only jobs with pay.
• Date posted filters on Google's "posted" label, so jobs without a date are kept.

FAQ

Which job sites are included? Everything Google Jobs indexes: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, company career pages (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever...) and many niche boards. The via field shows the source and applyLinks lists all of them.

Are the apply links direct? Yes. They are the real URLs of the postings, not Google redirects.

Why do I get fewer jobs than I asked for? Google has a limited number of postings for narrow searches (rare role, small town, last 24 hours). The Actor stops when new searches stop finding new jobs, so you never pay for duplicates.
