FAQ

Do I get candidate phone numbers?

Only for unlocked candidates. mobileNo is null unless the profile is unlocked via an authenticated employer session — this actor scrapes the public WorkIndia search, so most numbers are locked.

How does the actor work?

It calls WorkIndia's candidate-search API directly (no headless browser), paginating by offset. Pure API calls keep it fast and cheap — about 0.004 CU per 100 candidates.

What is matchScore and hotLeadStatus?

matchScore is WorkIndia's internal relevance score (0–100). hotLeadStatus is new_lead (joined recently) or old_lead (existing profile).

What output formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), HTML and JSONLines via the Apify dataset and API.

Is this a WorkIndia API alternative?

Yes. WorkIndia has no public candidate API, so this actor works as a WorkIndia API alternative — it queries the public candidate search directly and returns structured records you control.

How do I export WorkIndia candidate data to CSV or JSON?

Run a search by job title and city, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel from the run page or the Apify API. This is the simplest way to export WorkIndia candidate data without writing scraping code.

Can I scrape WorkIndia candidates without login?

Yes. The actor scrapes the public WorkIndia search without a login or employer account. Note that locked phone numbers stay null — unlocking contacts still requires an authenticated WorkIndia employer plan.
