## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Naukri & Gulf Job Scraper — India & Middle East Jobs & Emails

The definitive, enterprise-grade scraper for **Naukri.com** (India) and **NaukriGulf.com** (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt). Extract job vacancies, salary brackets, experience ranges, skills, company ratings, and recruiter contact details across both premier hiring platforms in a single Actor run.

Built on an ultra-fast **pure HTTP architecture** with built-in TLS fingerprinting and reverse-engineered cryptographic token rotation—delivering blazing speed without the bloat and failure rate of heavy headless browsers.

***

### ⚡ Key Highlights & Features

- **Unified Multi-Region Coverage**: Scrape India (`naukri.com`) and Middle East / GCC (`naukrigulf.com`) simultaneously in one task.
- **Pure HTTP Fast-Path**: No headless Chromium required. Runs up to 15x faster and consumes a fraction of memory compared to Selenium/Playwright scrapers.
- **40+ Rich Data Fields**: Full job titles, company IDs & names, logos, CTC/salary brackets, min/max experience, city/location tags, skill tags, apply links, and posted dates.
- **Company Insights & Ratings**: Seamlessly captures AmbitionBox company ratings, review counts, and profile links for Naukri listings.
- **Flexible Targeting**: Search by keyword and location, apply multi-criteria filters (experience, freshness, work mode), or paste direct search listing URLs.
- **Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing**: Pay only for successful records extracted with zero monthly lock-in.

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model. You only pay for what you extract:

| Event Name | Purpose | Price (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| **`apify-default-dataset-item`** | result | `$0.0015` | Single result in the default dataset. |
| **`apify-actor-start`** | Actor Start | `$0.005` | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |
| **`additional-data`** | Additional data | `$0.001` | Extra data enrichment charged per enriched record (email/contact discovery). |

### 🛡️ Anti-Bot Protection & Best Practices

- Both Naukri and NaukriGulf deploy Akamai and custom anti-bot protections.
- This scraper automatically crafts cryptographically valid request signatures and mimics Chrome TLS fingerprints.
- For high-volume scraping (>500 items per run), always use **Residential Proxies** via Apify Proxy to prevent IP rate-limiting.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
