3. Set Max Pages Per Search (~20 jobs/page) and Sort By (relevance or date).

FAQ

Does this need a browser?

No. The Actor uses HTTP requests only — no Puppeteer or Playwright. It's fast and cost-effective.

Why residential proxies?

Naukri.com has anti-bot protection that may block datacenter IPs. Residential proxies (especially India-based) provide the best success rate.

How many jobs can I scrape?

Naukri limits search results to ~50 pages (~1,000 jobs) per query. Use multiple keyword + location combinations to build larger datasets.

What if I get 0 results?

Naukri may update their HTML structure. Check the Actor logs for debug info and report issues via the Actor's Issues tab.

Is this a Naukri unofficial API or API alternative?

Yes. Naukri.com has no public jobs API, so this Actor works as an unofficial Naukri API alternative — give it a keyword and it returns structured job records you can pull via the Apify API.

How do I export Naukri data to CSV or JSON?

Run the Actor, then download the dataset directly as CSV, JSON or Excel from the run page, or fetch it programmatically through the Apify API.

Can I scrape Naukri without a browser or login?

Yes. This is an HTTP-only Naukri scraper — no browser, no Puppeteer/Playwright and no account or login required.

Cost estimate

• ~100 jobs (5 pages, 1 keyword): ~$0.01–$0.02 (residential proxy)
• ~1,000 jobs (50 pages): ~$0.10–$0.20
• ~10,000 jobs (500 pages): ~$1.00–$2.00
• With scrapeJobDetails: true: ~2–3× cost (individual page requests)
