## 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

## Indeed Resume Scraper

![banner](https://i.imgur.com/nuhMWhQ.png)

Indeed Resume (resumes.indeed.com) is a resume search platform for finding candidate profiles by keyword and filters. This actor collects structured resume search result data from Indeed Resume search pages.

### Introduction

The Indeed Resume scraper starts from Indeed Resume search URLs, goes through result pages, and extracts structured profile data such as name, location, current title, current company, education, skills, credentials, highlights, and experience history.

### Use Cases

- **Candidate sourcing**: Build structured candidate lists from selected search keywords and filters.
- **Talent market research**: Analyze skill distribution, job titles, locations, and experience patterns.
- **Recruiting pipelines**: Export resume search results into ATS, CRM, or enrichment workflows.
- **Analytics pipelines**: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal warehousing.

### Input

Provide the following fields:

- `startUrls` (array, required): Indeed Resume search URLs.
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of resume search result items to extract per start URL.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object, required): Apify proxy settings. Use Apify Residential proxies, preferably with the US country code, for the actor to work reliably.

Notes:

- Crawling stops per source URL when `maxItems` is reached.
- Residential proxies are required for stable access to Indeed Resume pages. The default input uses Apify Residential proxies with the US country code.

### Input Examples

**1) Start URLs**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://resumes.indeed.com/search?q=software&nl=false&ts=1778162438285&start=0&sort=date"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

```json
{
  "sourceUrl": "https://resumes.indeed.com/search?q=software&nl=false&ts=1778162438285&start=0&sort=date",
  "rcpRequestId": "ddb79d09-1c2d-4463-9f89-990f6046d1b1",
  "totalMatchCount": "6600000",
  "overallMatchCount": 996,
  "matchId": "0",
  "name": "Lead Software Engineer",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "resumeType": "INDEED_RESUME",
  "isFreeToContact": false,
  "currentTitle": "Lead Software Engineer",
  "currentCompany": "Example Company",
  "experiences": [
    {
      "title": "Lead Software Engineer",
      "company": "Example Company",
      "fromDate": "2021-12",
      "toDate": "2024-12",
      "years": "2021 - 2024"
    }
  ],
  "educations": [
    {
      "degree": "Bachelor's degree",
      "school": "Example University"
    }
  ],
  "educationText": "Bachelor's degree, Example University",
  "credentials": ["AWS Certification"],
  "skills": ["JavaScript", "Python", "React", "Node.js"],
  "highlights": ["software"]
}
```

The scraper paginates through resume search results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found.

### Why use the Indeed Resume Scraper?

- **Focused**: Built specifically for Indeed Resume search result pages.
- **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per start URL.
- **Flexible input**: Supports Indeed Resume search URLs with existing filters.
- **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, and proxy config.

### FAQ

- **How many resume results can it extract?**\
  Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL.

- **Do I need proxies?**\
  Yes. Use Apify Residential proxies for this actor to work properly. The default configuration uses the `RESIDENTIAL` proxy group with the `US` country code.

- **What if Indeed changes their website structure?**\
  The actor may require updates to keep extraction stable.
