foundit Scraper — Jobs, Salaries, Skills & Employers from foundit.in (Monster India)

Export jobs from foundit.in — title, company, locations with coordinates, experience, salary when the posting shows it, skills, industries, functions, designations, employment type, applicants and views, posting, refresh and expiry dates, the apply link and the full job description (text and HTML) — as clean JSON, CSV or Excel, without a login.

Independent tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by foundit, Monster or their owners. "foundit" and "Monster" are trademarks of their owners and are used here only to describe the public website this Actor reads.

foundit Scraper is a foundit job scraper and Monster India scraper for one of India's largest job boards. It turns any foundit.in search — a keyword or several, a city, a state, "Remote", an experience range, a job type (work from home, contract, walk-in, jobs for women, permanent), direct employers or recruitment firms, an industry, a function, one employer, a pasted foundit URL, or the whole board — into structured job data: job title, company (name, foundit page, logo, website and "about" when given), location text plus structured cities, states, country and coordinates, experience as text and as min / max years, salary as foundit prints it with min / max numbers and currency (only where the posting gives one), skills, industries, functions, foundit's designation category, employment types, job types, applicants, views, Quick Apply and Great Place To Work flags, posted / first posted / updated / expiry timestamps in ISO 8601, the external apply link of aggregated postings, the recruiter and — only where the employer chose to publish it — the recruiter's phone number, and the complete job description as plain text and as HTML. Use it to scrape foundit.in by keyword and city, as a foundit API alternative (we found no documented public API for foundit's job listings), or to export foundit jobs to CSV, Excel or JSON for a spreadsheet, ATS, CRM, BI tool or data warehouse. No foundit account, no API key, no cookies, no browser.

Recruitment agencies, HR-tech and staffing-software sellers, job aggregators, salary and compensation analysts, labour-market researchers, placement cells, upskilling companies and WhatsApp / Telegram job channels use it for foundit job data extraction, daily feeds of new fresher jobs, work from home jobs and walk-in drives, hiring-signal lead lists of companies, and skills-demand research. Typical searches it answers: foundit scraper, scrape foundit.in jobs, Monster India job scraper, foundit jobs to Excel, foundit job data API, job vacancy data India, fresher jobs in Bengaluru list, work from home jobs India dataset, walk-in interview jobs Delhi, jobs in Pune 3 to 5 years experience, data analyst jobs with salary in LPA, फाउंडइट जॉब्स डेटा (foundit jobs data), नौकरी की जानकारी एक्सेल में (job information in Excel), फ्रेशर्स के लिए जॉब (jobs for freshers), वर्क फ्रॉम होम जॉब्स (work from home jobs), वॉक-इन इंटरव्यू (walk-in interview) and job portal data scraping India. On 2026-10-25 foundit listed about 189,765 live jobs; the Actor read 12,000 of them with full details in 16.0 minutes and 25,082 job cards of one search without details in 160 seconds. All numbers on this page were measured on the Apify platform on 2026-10-25.

Who uses it — 12 workflows

1. Recruitment and staffing agencies

Run "java developer, python developer" for Pune and Bengaluru every morning with postedWithinDays: 1, keep employerType: Company rows and call the firms that opened five or more similar roles this week.

2. HR-tech, ATS and recruitment-software sales

Companies that post many jobs buy hiring software. Export a month of jobs, group by companyId, rank by open roles and join companyUrl into your CRM.

3. Job aggregators and niche job boards

Run a daily postedWithinDays: 1 pull, de-duplicate on jobId, show the external applyUrl of aggregated jobs and retire listings on expiresAt.

4. Salary and compensation analysts

Where a posting shows pay, salaryMin, salaryMax and salaryCurrency are numbers: group by functions and experienceMinYears and build LPA bands — read honest limits first, only a small share of postings show a salary.

5. Labour-market researchers and economists

Count postings per city, state, industry and function over time; measure the experience mix, the share of work from home roles and how long postings stay open (expiresAt minus postedAt).

6. EdTech, bootcamps and upskilling companies

skills and designations show what employers ask for: count skills per designation and city to choose the next course and show live demand on your landing page.

7. Placement cells and fresher-job channels

Pull fresher jobs (minExperienceYears: 0, maxExperienceYears: 0) and walk-in drives per city and send students a daily list with the apply link, experience and expiry date.

8. Investors and equity analysts

Hiring velocity is a growth signal: count open roles per employer (companies: ["Infosys"]) and function week over week and compare firms of one industry.

9. B2B sales and growth teams

A company hiring "SAP consultants" or "data engineers" is a buyer for the tools around them: build lead lists from companyName, companyUrl, industries and the role mix.

10. Diversity and inclusion programmes

Run jobType: "Jobs for Women" for your cities and list employers with isGreatPlaceToWork: true for outreach and partnerships.

11. Overseas and contract recruiters

Some postings are for work abroad (filter country != "India" after the export) and jobType: "Contract Job" gives contract openings with employer, location and experience band.

12. AI assistants, RAG and LLM pipelines

description is clean text, descriptionHtml keeps structure, and skills, designations and industries are ready labels for job matching, résumé tailoring or skills extraction.

Cookbook — 16 ready-to-run inputs

Paste any of these into the Input tab (JSON view) or send it as the body of an API run. Each input was validated against the input schema; the counts in the notes are foundit's own match counts on 2026-10-25.

1. A quick look (what the Console pre-fills)

{ "searchQueries": ["data analyst"], "maxResults": 30 }

30 jobs with full details in about 11 seconds; foundit counted 984 matches.

2. Fresher jobs in Pune, added in the last 7 days

{ "locations": ["Pune"], "minExperienceYears": 0, "maxExperienceYears": 0, "postedWithinDays": "7", "maxResults": 500 }

The experience filter keeps every range that overlaps 0–0, which includes postings that state no experience (94,058 of 189,765); check the experience column for explicit fresher roles.

3. Data analyst jobs in three cities

{ "searchQueries": ["data analyst"], "locations": ["Bengaluru", "Hyderabad", "Pune"], "maxResults": 1500 }

Each keyword-and-city pair is its own search; jobs found by several are saved once and searchLocation shows the first search that found them.

4. Python or Java developers with 3 to 6 years

{ "searchQueries": ["python developer, java developer"], "locations": ["Bengaluru"], "minExperienceYears": 3, "maxExperienceYears": 6, "maxResults": 1000 }

A comma inside one line means OR; without it every word must match. 190 matches.

5. Work from home jobs added in the last 3 days

{ "jobType": "Work From Home", "postedWithinDays": "3", "maxResults": 1000 }

628 work-from-home jobs in total, 26 of them new in 3 days: a small, fast run.

6. Walk-in drives

{ "jobType": "Walkin Job", "maxResults": 100 }

Walk-in postings are rare: 25 on 2026-10-25. The walkIn column holds dates, times, city and addresses.

7. Jobs for women, in two cities

{ "jobType": "Jobs for Women", "locations": ["Mumbai", "Chennai"], "maxResults": 500 }

foundit's own tag: 313 jobs nationwide, 42 in Mumbai.

8. Direct employers only, no recruitment firms

{ "searchQueries": ["sales executive"], "locations": ["Mumbai"], "employerType": "Company", "maxResults": 1000 }

employerType: "Consultant" gives the opposite view (4,940 jobs).

9. Every open job of one employer

{ "companies": ["Tata Consultancy Services"], "maxResults": 2000 }

Use the name exactly as the companyName column shows it (445 jobs). Pasting an employer page (a companyUrl value) into startUrls works too.

10. Banking jobs in the Sales function

{ "industries": ["Banking/Accounting/Financial Services"], "functions": ["Sales"], "maxResults": 2000 }

Industry and function names are the ones in the industries and functions columns (1,409 matches).

11. A whole state, search cards only

{ "locations": ["Karnataka"], "includeDetails": false, "maxResults": 20000 }

A state name uses foundit's state filter (46,549 jobs); with a limit the newest are read first. Cards have no description or coordinates.

12. Remote jobs

{ "locations": ["Remote"], "maxResults": 800 }

737 jobs. "Remote", "Work from home", "WFH" and "Anywhere" all select foundit's remote group.

13. Everything on foundit, search cards only

{ "includeDetails": false, "maxResults": 0 }

maxResults: 0 means no limit. The Actor slices the board by state, experience and employer type to get past the 9,600-per-search window; raise the run timeout and read Scale and speed.

14. Paste a foundit search URL with any filters

{ "startUrls": ["https://www.foundit.in/srp/results?query=java&locations=pune&experienceRanges=2~5"], "maxResults": 1000 }

Set the filters on foundit.in and paste the address-bar URL. Understood parameters: query, locations, experienceRanges, jobFreshness, industries, functions, roles, jobTypes, employerTypes, companies, companyIds, qualifications, jobStates, jobCities, jobCountries, salaryRanges. SEO pages (/search/python-jobs-in-pune) and employer pages work as well.

15. Specific jobs by URL

{ "startUrls": ["https://www.foundit.in/job/senior-platform-software-engineer-oracle-bengaluru-bangalore-india-69555260", "https://www.foundit.in/job/us-it-recruiter-dpr-technologies-solutions-private-limited-coimbatore-69555938"] }

Job pages are always read with full details; a job foundit has taken down is counted under jobsNotFound in the SUMMARY.

16. Daily monitoring of new jobs

{ "searchQueries": ["data engineer"], "locations": ["Bengaluru", "Pune", "Hyderabad"], "postedWithinDays": "1", "maxResults": 2000 }

Save it as a task, add a daily schedule and use jobId as the key. 30 new "data engineer" jobs appeared in Bengaluru alone in one day.

Tutorial: your first run in the Apify Console

1. Open the Actor page and click Try for free (or Start).
2. In Keywords type what you would type into foundit's search box, one search per line; in Locations add cities, states or "Remote". Leave both empty for all of India.
3. Optional: Experience, Posted within, Job type, Employer type, Industries, Functions, Employers.
4. Set Maximum results (the pre-filled 30 finishes in seconds; the default is 1,000). Leave Read every job's page on for descriptions, cities, coordinates, views and the employer block; switch it off for the fastest bulk export of search cards.
5. Click Save & Start; the status line counts saved jobs while the run goes.
6. Open the Output tab: five ready-made views (Overview, Skills & requirements, Employers, Locations, Descriptions) and Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. The Storage → Key-value store → SUMMARY record explains the run in numbers.

Tutorial: run it from the API

1. Get your token

Console → Settings → Integrations → API token. Use it as YOUR_TOKEN below and never publish it.

2. Run and get the data in one call (small runs)

curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/logiover~foundit-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["data analyst"],"locations":["Pune"],"maxResults":50}'

The response is the list of jobs. For results as CSV add &format=csv (or xlsx).

3. Start a run and fetch the data later (big runs)

# start
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/logiover~foundit-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jobType":"Work From Home","maxResults":700}'
# poll: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/RUN_ID?token=YOUR_TOKEN   (status SUCCEEDED)
# data: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=xlsx&token=YOUR_TOKEN

4. Node.js (apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('logiover/foundit-scraper').call({
  searchQueries: ['python developer'],
  locations: ['Bengaluru'],
  minExperienceYears: 2,
  maxExperienceYears: 5,
  maxResults: 300,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0].title, items[0].companyName, items[0].salary);

5. Python (apify-client)

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("logiover/foundit-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQueries": ["python developer"],
    "locations": ["Bengaluru"],
    "postedWithinDays": "7",
    "maxResults": 300,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["jobId"], job["title"], job["companyName"], job["experience"], job["salary"])

6. Read the run summary

Every run writes a SUMMARY record to its key-value store: outcome, stoppedBy, rowsSaved, searchPagesRead, detailPagesRead, duplicatesSkipped, durationSecs, firstRowSecs, one entry per search with foundit's own match count (foundOnFoundit) and coveragePercent, and the request and route statistics.

$curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/STORE_ID/records/SUMMARY?token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
searchQueries	list of text	empty	Job titles, skills or employer names, one search per line, as in foundit's search box. All words of a line must match; a comma inside a line means OR. Empty = every job.
locations	list of text	empty	Cities, states or "Remote". Names are checked against foundit's own location list; unknown ones are reported and skipped. foundit groups nearby places: Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida return the same Delhi NCR set, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane the same Mumbai set (the location column shows each job's real places). State names (Karnataka, Maharashtra …) use foundit's state filter. "India" / "Pan India" means no location filter. Empty = all of India.
minExperienceYears	whole number 0–40	empty	Lower end of the experience range (foundit's overlap filter).
maxExperienceYears	whole number 0–40	empty	Upper end of the experience range. 0 and 0 is the freshers filter.
postedWithinDays	choice	any time	Only jobs foundit listed as new in the last 1, 3, 7, 15, 30 or 60 days.
jobType	choice	any	Work From Home, Contract Job, Walkin Job, Jobs for Women or Permanent Job.
employerType	choice	any	Company (direct employers) or Consultant (recruitment firms).
industries	list of text	empty	foundit industry names exactly as the industries column shows them. A name foundit does not know matches nothing.
functions	list of text	empty	Job functions exactly as the functions column shows them.
companies	list of text	empty	Employer names exactly as the companyName column shows them.
startUrls	list of text	empty	foundit search pages (/srp/results?…), SEO search pages (/search/…-jobs-in-…), employer pages (/search/…-jobs-career) and single job pages (/job/…). Other URLs are skipped with a note.
sortBy	choice	newest	newest (stable order; required for splitting big searches) or relevance (foundit's order; can reshuffle between page requests, so searches above 9,600 matches are not split).
includeDetails	yes / no	yes	Open every job for the description (text and HTML), cities, states, country, coordinates, views and the employer and recruiter block. Off = search-card fields only, much faster.
splitBroadSearches	yes / no	yes	Split a search with more than 9,600 matches by state, experience and employer type so that the run can collect more; everything is de-duplicated. Needs newest.
maxResults	whole number 0–1,000,000	1,000 (Console pre-fill 30)	Stop after this many jobs in total. 0 = no limit. With several searches each gets an equal share first.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	not used	Leave empty. The Actor connects directly, adds Apify datacenter sessions on its own when foundit's per-address limit is reached, and uses a small capped residential rescue route only if everything else is refused. Set a proxy only to force one.

How the pieces combine. Keywords × locations make the searches; the filters apply to every search; URLs are extra searches or single jobs. Use one line per place in locations, and spell industry, function and employer names exactly as foundit does (copy them from a previous export).

What maxResults does with details on. One job page is read per job, so maxResults is also the number of job pages read. You are charged per job in the dataset. A job whose page cannot be read after several tries is still saved from its search card (no description); jobs found but not read before the time limit are neither saved nor charged.

scrapedAt	text	100 %	When the row was collected, ISO 8601 UTC.	2026-10-25T12:34:52.556Z

Columns that need the job page (description, descriptionHtml, cities, states, country, latitude, longitude, views, companyAbout, recruiterDesignation, recruiterProfileUrl) exist only when includeDetails is on (41 columns without them, 52 with). searchQuery and searchLocation appear only when keywords or locations were given.

Why some fill rates are low. About 97 % of foundit's jobs are aggregated (collected from other sites): they carry the basics but rarely a salary, roles, qualifications, benefits or a recruiter block, while 65 % of the employer-posted jobs show a salary. See honest limits.

Scale and speed (measured)

All runs below were executed on the Apify platform on 2026-10-25 with the default settings (2,048 MB, direct connection plus the built-in load spreading).

Run	Jobs	Time	Notes
Console pre-fill ("data analyst", 30 jobs, full details)	30	11 s	first jobs saved after 1 s
Default settings, no filters, full details	1,000	63 s	13 search pages + 1,000 job pages
Proof run: no filters, full details	12,000 unique	957 s (16.0 min)	13 jobs per second; 0 duplicates; peak memory 166 MB
One broad search, search cards only	25,082 unique	160 s	foundit counted 25,652 matches for "software"; 98 % read

An earlier run of the same size the same day took 701 s (11.7 minutes): the speed depends on how busy foundit's per-address limit is at that moment.

In the proof run foundit answered 9 % of the attempts with a refusal (HTTP 403, a per-address rate limit); the Actor retried each one on a fresh address, so none failed and none was lost. Peak memory stayed far below the 2,048 MB default.

How the whole site is read

foundit lets anyone read one search down to its 9,600th result — the request offset is clamped at 9,500 and 100 results are returned per request (measured 2026-10-25), whatever the headline count says. The Actor therefore:

1. reads the first window of 9,600 newest jobs of every search;
2. if foundit reports more matches than that and splitBroadSearches is on, splits the search into slices — by state (foundit's 35 state filter values), and where a state slice is still too big by years of experience (single years 0 to 24, then 25 and above), and then by employer type;
3. reads each slice to its own 9,600th result, newest first, and de-duplicates by jobId across all slices and searches;
4. stops when 98 % of foundit's own count has been seen, when maxResults is reached, or when the time limit comes.

The SUMMARY record reports foundit's own match count, the share read (coveragePercent) and the number of searches that could not be read completely (searchesCutAtWindow). A status message that says "N search(es) have more matches than foundit lets anyone read" tells you that a search was cut at the window; narrow it with keywords or filters.

Planning big runs. With details the measured rate is about 13 jobs per second, which is arithmetic for roughly 45,000 jobs in the default 1-hour timeout; raise the run timeout (Run options) for more. Without details the same search runs several times faster. The Actor reads the timeout of the run, stops cleanly before it and reports PARTIAL with the number of jobs found but not read; jobs that were found but not read are neither saved nor charged. We did not read the entire board of about 189,765 jobs in one run during testing.

---

What you pay

A fixed price per job in the dataset — search pages, job pages, connections and compute are included. No monthly rental, no charge for duplicates or for jobs your filters excluded.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 jobs	1,000 jobs	10,000 jobs	100,000 jobs
Free	$1.50	$1.50	$15.00	$150.00
Bronze	$1.33	$1.33	$13.33	$133.33
Silver	$1.17	$1.17	$11.67	$116.67
Gold, Platinum, Diamond	$1.00	$1.00	$10.00	$100.00

The price is the same with or without details. The 12,000-job proof run costs $18.00 on the Free plan and $12.00 on Gold; a daily refresh of 2,000 new jobs is about $90 a month on Free and $60 on Gold.

Maximum cost per run

Apify stops every pay-per-result run at its Maximum cost per run (you set it in the run options; the platform also applies a default). The Actor reads that limit when it starts, collects only what it covers, stops cleanly and says so: "Saved 37 jobs — this run's maximum cost ($0.05) covers 37 results at the current price. Raise "Maximum cost per run" to get more." (real message of a test run on 2026-10-25 — 37 jobs saved, 37 charged; the number depends on your plan's price). The run ends as Succeeded, the SUMMARY says stoppedBy: "MAX_COST", and you pay only for the jobs in the dataset.

---

Integrations

• API, apify-client and webhooks — see Tutorial: run it from the API. A webhook on Run succeeded (Actor → Integrations → Webhooks) POSTs the dataset id to your endpoint or queue: the cleanest way to load new jobs into an ATS, CRM or job board.
• Make, Zapier, n8n — run logiover/foundit-scraper with your JSON input, then read the dataset items into Google Sheets, Slack, Telegram, e-mail, a CRM, Postgres or an LLM step.
• Google Sheets and Airtable — the Apify Google Sheets integration appends every scheduled run to a sheet; for Airtable use Make, Zapier or n8n, or import the CSV (jobId is the natural primary field).
• Scheduling — Actor → Schedules: run daily with postedWithinDays: 1, keep rows whose jobId you have not seen and drop rows whose expiresAt has passed.
• Data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, S3) — fetch GET /v2/datasets/{id}/items?format=json (or csv, xlsx, xml) from your ETL tool or trigger the load by webhook. Dates are ISO 8601, numbers are numbers, lists are arrays.
• MCP and AI agents — the Actor works with the Apify MCP server, so an assistant can call it as a tool ("find data analyst jobs in Pune posted this week that ask for SQL") and receive structured rows.

---

Performance tips

• Search cards first, details for a shortlist. For a bulk export run with includeDetails: false, filter in your sheet, then paste the interesting job URLs into startUrls for full details.
• Use foundit's filters instead of post-filtering — locations, minExperienceYears, maxExperienceYears, postedWithinDays, jobType, employerType, industries, functions and companies shrink the search before anything is downloaded.
• Keep newest-first (the default): it is stable between page requests, which is what lets the Actor split big searches and de-duplicate safely.
• Several keywords or cities in one run — each search gets a fair share of maxResults, and jobs found by several searches are saved once.
• Leave the proxy empty. The direct connection plus Apify datacenter sessions is the fastest route; the residential rescue route switches on by itself only when everything else is refused.
• Long runs need a long timeout. Use the run options to raise it; the default is 1 hour.

Troubleshooting: every status message explained

Status / outcome	What it means	What to do
COMPLETED: saved N jobs (the "maxResults" limit of N).	You got what you asked for.	Raise maxResults (0 = no limit) for more.
COMPLETED: saved N jobs.	Every job the searches returned was read. N can differ from foundit's headline: duplicates are saved once and counts move during a run.	—
COMPLETED: saved N jobs (this run's maximum cost of $X covers N results). / Saved N jobs — this run's maximum cost ($X) covers N results at the current price. Raise "Maximum cost per run" to get more.	The run reached your Maximum cost per run (stoppedBy: MAX_COST).	Raise the limit.
The run's maximum cost ($X) does not cover a single result — raise "Maximum cost per run".	The limit is below the price of one job.	Raise the limit.
PARTIAL: saved N jobs — K job page(s) could not be read (those rows keep their search-card fields and have no description).	K job pages failed after retries; those jobs are saved from their search cards.	Paste those URLs into startUrls later.
PARTIAL: … — K search page(s) could not be read (…)	Some search pages failed after all retries.	Re-run later; the SUMMARY shows which search.
PARTIAL: … — the run time limit was reached before K found job(s) could be read; raise the timeout to collect the rest.	The timeout came first; the K jobs found but not read are neither saved nor charged (foundButNotReadInTime).	Raise the timeout in the run options.
PARTIAL: … — K search(es) have more matches than foundit lets anyone read (9,600 per search); narrow them with keywords or filters.	A search was cut at foundit's window (splitting off, relevance order, or a slice that is itself too big).	Add keywords, a location or filters; use newest-first with splitting on.
EMPTY_RESULT: foundit answered, but no jobs match these filters right now. Widen the search (fewer filters, another keyword or location).	The search exists and is empty (run succeeds).	Fewer filters; check industry, function and employer spelling.
BLOCKED: no jobs collected — foundit could not be reached (…) after N attempt(s). This is an access failure, not an empty result.	Every route was refused (run fails).	Re-run later; the SUMMARY's statusCounts and lastError say what happened.
FETCH_FAILED: no jobs collected and N request(s) could not be read (…), so an empty result cannot be confirmed. / FETCH_FAILED: N job(s) were found but none could be read before the run time limit — raise the timeout.	Connections or pages failed, so emptiness cannot be confirmed (run fails).	Re-run later or raise the timeout.
INVALID_INPUT: "minExperienceYears" (a) is larger than "maxExperienceYears" (b).	The range is the wrong way round (run fails).	Swap the numbers.
INVALID_INPUT: None of the locations is known to foundit (…)	Nothing in locations is in foundit's list (run fails).	Use the usual city name ("Bengaluru", "Pune"), a state, or "Remote".
INVALID_INPUT: Every URL in "startUrls" was skipped — paste foundit.in search pages (/srp/results?query=…) or job pages (/job/…).	None of the URLs is a foundit search or job page (run fails).	Paste foundit.in URLs.
Log: Unknown location "…" — skipped … / "postedWithinDays" … is not one of 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60 — ignored. / Unknown "jobType" … / Unknown "employerType" …	One value was not one foundit offers; the rest ran.	Use a listed value.
Log: Relevance order can reshuffle between page requests …	Relevance order was chosen; big searches are not split.	Use newest-first for deep runs.
Log: Resumed after a platform restart: N job(s) already saved are not written or charged again.	The platform moved the run to another server; nothing is saved or charged twice.	Nothing — informational.
Log: foundit refused the direct connection (HTTP 403) — pausing it for N s … / foundit is refusing most of the … addresses …	The per-address limit was hit; the run continues over datacenter sessions.	Nothing — informational.
Log: Every other route is refused right now — using a small residential rescue route (capped) …	All routes were refused at once; up to 12 MB of residential traffic per run keeps short runs alive.	Nothing; for very large runs in such a period, re-run later.

Honest limits

• Salary is rare. foundit shows a salary on 1.9 % of the proof run's jobs: on 65 % of employer-posted jobs but on 0.1 % of aggregated ones. Postings that hide the salary (foundit's "confidential" flags) have null salary columns. Amounts are in the posting's own unit and are mostly yearly; a few employers enter placeholder ranges (for example 0-1,000 INR) and foundit shows them as typed.
• Most jobs are aggregated. About 97 % of foundit's jobs come from other sites, so qualifications, roles, benefits, recruiterDesignation and recruiterProfileUrl are filled for the small employer-posted share only.
• Experience is missing on 46 % of jobs because the posting gives none; the columns are then null, not 0.
• Locations. location is foundit's text; cities / states are empty for jobs posted for "India" without a city. Coordinates come from foundit's own location list, which has a few wrong entries: a pair that lies outside India for an Indian city is repaired when it is merely swapped and dropped otherwise (16 of 10,550 rows in testing).
• Near-identical postings. Employers and aggregators often post the same role several times under different job ids; the Actor de-duplicates by jobId only.
• Dates. postedAt is the time foundit shows as "posted"; firstPostedAt is when foundit created the record. firstPostedAt is later than postedAt on some aggregated jobs (foundit created its record after the original posting date) and earlier on refreshed ones.
• Hidden employers. When an employer hides its name, companyName, companyUrl, companyWebsite and companyLogoUrl are null and isCompanyConfidential is true.
• Contact data. Recruiter phone numbers appear only on postings whose employer chose to publish them (about 2 in 1,000); no e-mail addresses are collected. The Actor never touches foundit's résumé database, candidate profiles or anything behind a login.
• 9,600 per search. Splitting gets past it, but a slice that is itself bigger than 9,600 may be read incompletely; the SUMMARY says so. The entire board was not read in one run during testing.
• Walk-in jobs are few (25 on 2026-10-25).
• Counters move. applicants and views are foundit's counters at the moment the job page was read.
• The site can change. foundit may rename fields or move its search service; the Actor is maintained and updated when it does.

FAQ

What is foundit Scraper?

An Apify Actor that reads foundit.in — India's job board, formerly Monster India — the way a browser does and returns every job as a clean row: title, company, locations, experience, salary where given, skills, industries, functions, dates, apply link and the full description.

What happened to Monster India — is foundit the same site?

Yes. Monster India now trades as foundit; some of its services still run under the monsterindia.com name. Jobs, employers and job ids are the same.

Is there an official foundit API?

We found no documented public API for foundit's job listings. The website's search page calls a JSON service; this Actor calls it the way a browser does, so you get structured data without writing or maintaining that code.

How do I export foundit jobs to Excel or CSV?

Run the Actor, open the Output (or Storage → Dataset) tab and choose Export → Excel or CSV; through the API add ?format=xlsx or ?format=csv to the dataset items URL.

Do I need a foundit account, login, cookies or an API key?

No. The Actor reads only what any visitor can see. You need an Apify account to run it.

Do I need proxies to scrape foundit?

No, leave the proxy field empty. foundit limits requests per IP address; the Actor paces itself, adds Apify datacenter sessions when the direct connection is refused, and uses a small capped residential rescue route only if everything else is refused.

How many jobs can I scrape from foundit?

About 189,765 jobs were live on 2026-10-25. One search can be read down to its 9,600th result; bigger searches are split by state, experience and employer type. The Actor delivered 12,000 unique jobs with details in 16.0 minutes and 25,082 unique jobs of one search without details in 160 seconds.

Why does foundit show about 189,765 jobs but one search stops at 9,600?

That is foundit's own window: its search service clamps the offset, so no search can be read past its 9,600th result. The Actor splits a search into slices below the window and merges them without duplicates (how the whole site is read).

How fast is it?

30 jobs with details in about 11 seconds, 1,000 in 63 seconds, 12,000 in 16.0 minutes; several times faster without details (Scale and speed).

How much does it cost to scrape foundit?

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan, falling to $1.00 on Gold and above; search pages, job pages, connections and compute are included (What you pay).

Can I get the salary of every job?

Only where the posting shows one: 1.9 % of the proof run's jobs (65 % of employer-posted, 0.1 % of aggregated ones). Hidden salaries are null; we never estimate or invent one.

Why is the salary empty for most jobs?

Most foundit jobs are collected from other sites and career pages, and those postings rarely state pay; foundit also lets employers mark the salary confidential.

In what unit is the salary — monthly or yearly?

salary, salaryMin and salaryMax are the posting's amounts in salaryCurrency (INR). Most are yearly CTC figures such as 4,50,000-8,50,000 (4.5 to 8.5 LPA); a few employers type monthly amounts, so check the magnitude before aggregating.

Can I filter jobs by experience?

Yes: minExperienceYears and maxExperienceYears use foundit's overlap filter. Rows carry experience ("4-8 Years") and numeric min / max years, null when the posting gives none.

Can I get jobs for a particular city?

Yes, put it in locations ("Bengaluru", "Pune", "Mumbai"). Names are checked against foundit's location list; a state name uses the state filter and "Remote" selects remote jobs.

Why do Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida return the same jobs?

foundit groups nearby places into one search area (Delhi NCR; Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane …). The location column shows each job's real places, so you can filter afterwards.

Can I scrape work from home jobs?

Yes: jobType: "Work From Home" or locations: ["Remote"]. isRemote is true when the location says Remote or the job type is Work From Home.

Can I scrape walk-in interview jobs?

Yes: jobType: "Walkin Job"; the walkIn column has dates, times, city and addresses. foundit has few of them (25 on 2026-10-25).

Can I get fresher jobs?

Set minExperienceYears: 0 and maxExperienceYears: 0. The filter also returns postings that state no experience, so check experience when you need explicit fresher roles.

Does it include the full job description?

Yes, with Read every job's page on (the default): description as plain text and descriptionHtml with foundit's markup.

Does it include the company's website?

companyWebsite is filled only when foundit lists one (0.1 % of the proof run); companyUrl is always the employer's foundit page and aggregated jobs carry the external applyUrl.

Does it get recruiters' phone numbers or e-mail addresses?

Only what foundit publishes: recruiterPhone is filled for postings whose employer chose to show contact details (about 2 in 1,000), unmasked and as foundit prints it. No e-mail addresses are collected and nothing behind a login is touched.

What do "employer" and "aggregated" mean in postingSource?

employer: posted on foundit by the employer (richer data, apply on foundit). aggregated: collected by foundit from another website or a career page; applyUrl leads there.

What is the difference between postedAt, firstPostedAt and updatedAt?

postedAt is the time foundit shows as "posted" (refreshed postings move forward), firstPostedAt is when foundit created the record, updatedAt its last update; all UTC ISO 8601. expiresAt is when foundit expires the posting.

Why is the company name missing on some jobs?

Employers can hide their name; the site then shows a row of asterisks. The Actor stores null in companyName and sets isCompanyConfidential to true.

Can I scrape the jobs of one company?

Yes: put the exact employer name in companies, or paste the employer's foundit page (any job's companyUrl) into startUrls.

Can I paste a foundit search URL with my filters?

Yes: startUrls accepts /srp/results?… search pages, SEO pages like /search/python-jobs-in-pune and employer pages; the URL's filters are used as they are.

Are duplicates removed?

By jobId, across all searches, slices and URLs of a run. Different ids for the same role (foundit lists reposts and near-identical jobs) are separate jobs.

How do I monitor new jobs every day?

Save your input as a task, set postedWithinDays to 1, add a daily schedule and use jobId as the key (recipe 16).

Does it work for jobs outside India?

foundit also lists postings for the Gulf, Australia, Europe and other countries; they come back with their country and the coordinates foundit gives.

Why are some columns empty for some rows?

Because foundit does not give the value for that posting; see Honest limits and the fill rates in the data dictionary.

I need a field or filter that is missing. Can you add it?

Probably — write to us (Support) with an example job URL and the field you need.

• CTC (cost to company) — the yearly package an employer states; foundit salaries are mostly CTC. LPA (lakhs per annum) — yearly pay in lakh rupees; 1 lakh = 1,00,000 (4,50,000 INR = 4.5 LPA).
• Walk-in — a hiring drive where candidates come to a venue on given dates without an appointment (job type "Walkin Job").
• Consultant — foundit's employer type for recruitment firms; Company is a direct employer.
• Aggregated job — collected by foundit from another website or career page; employer-posted job — posted on foundit by the employer.
• Quick Apply — applying with your foundit profile without leaving the site. Great Place To Work (GPTW) — a workplace certification foundit shows as a badge.
• Designation — foundit's job-title category (for example "Software Engineer/Programmer"); function and industry — the department and the sector of a posting.
• NCR — the National Capital Region around Delhi (Gurgaon / Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad). JD — job description. Notice period — the time a working candidate serves before joining.
• Window — foundit's limit of 9,600 readable results per search.

Is it legal to scrape foundit?

The Actor reads only information that foundit shows to any visitor without a login, at a modest pace, the way a browser does. Collecting publicly available data is generally lawful, but your use of it is your responsibility: check foundit's terms of use, keep to the purpose you have a legal basis for, and do not use the data to harass, spam or discriminate. Recruiter names and phone numbers are personal data — under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and, for people in the EU, the GDPR, you need a lawful purpose, must keep the data secure, and must honour deletion requests. The Actor never accesses résumés, candidate profiles or anything behind a login. This section is general information, not legal advice.
