Instahyre Jobs Scraper — India Tech Jobs & Hiring Monitor

Search India's tech job market on Instahyre and watch it change over time. Every row carries the job (title, skills, locations, apply URL) plus the hiring company's full profile — name, tagline, founding year, employee count and description. Run it once for a clean dataset, or turn on monitor mode to get only the postings that are new since your last run, so you catch companies the moment they start hiring. Powered by Instahyre's own JSON API, so runs are fast and rows are exact — no HTML guesswork.

Search by skill and city, paste listing or job URLs, and optionally add employer contact emails to turn each hiring company into an outreach-ready lead.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• API-exact data — rows come from Instahyre's JSON API, one request per 35 jobs. Fast, cheap, and immune to layout changes.
• Company intelligence included — founding year, headcount, tagline and company description ride along on every job row, which most job scrapers skip.
• Skill search that actually filters — the skills filter binds server-side (verified against row content, since Instahyre ignores several of its own documented parameters).
• Honest city filtering — Instahyre's API ignores location parameters, so the city and remote filters are applied to row content on our side; rows that miss the filter are skipped and never billed.
• Employer emails on demand — opt-in enrichment discovers the company's website and harvests a contact email, billed only per row where one is found.
• Bulk-friendly and fail-safe — paste many URLs or skills; failed requests retry direct then through residential, and produce no billed placeholder rows.

🔁 Hiring monitor — track only what's new

Companies that just started hiring are the freshest lead of all. Turn on monitoringMode and the scraper remembers which jobs it has already seen, then on every later run emits only the postings that appeared since — new roles, new companies, new stacks. Point it at a skill (react) or a city (bangalore), put it on an Apify schedule, and you get a daily feed of who's newly hiring for what, with the company profile and optional email already attached.

Running more than one watch? Give each its own monitorStateName (e.g. bangalore-eng on one schedule, remote-sales on another) and their "already seen" histories stay separate, so neither hides the other's new jobs.

• First run emits a baseline of current postings (or skip the baseline and start clean).
• Later runs emit only changes, so you pay for signal, not for re-scraping the same board.
• State is per-actor, and resetMonitoringState clears it when you want a fresh baseline.

This is the difference between a one-off export and a standing hiring-signal feed.

    "jobId": "439825",
    "jobUrl": "https://www.instahyre.com/job-439825-backend-engineer-at-biopeak-bangalore/",
    "title": "Backend Engineer",
    "companyName": "Biopeak",
    "location": "Bangalore",
    "remote": false,
    "skills": ["Java", "Python", "CI / CD", "Golang", "Microservices", "Node.js", "SQL"],
    "companyTagline": "Personalized longevity clinic",

    "companyEmployeeCount": 10,
    "companyDescription": "Biopeak is a personalised longevity clinic…",
    "companyImage": "https://media.instahyre.com/images/profile/…",
    "acceptsOutstationCandidates": true,

    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-22T12:07:41.512Z"
}

Rows follow the portfolio-wide canonical job shape (same field names as the CutShort, Naukri and RemoteOK scrapers), so multi-source pipelines map one column layout across all of them.

🔑 Output fields

Every job row carries these fields (missing values come back null, never guessed):

Field	What it is
jobId	Stable Instahyre job id — use it as the dedup key
title	Job title
jobUrl / applyUrl	Listing URL and where to apply
applyType	internal (apply on Instahyre) or external
companyName	Hiring company
location / remote	City, and whether the role is Work From Home
skills	Array of the stack the role asks for
companyTagline	One-line company positioning
companyFounded	Founding year — a maturity signal
companyEmployeeCount	Headcount — segment startups vs enterprises
companyDescription	Full company blurb
companyImage	Logo URL
acceptsOutstationCandidates	Whether non-local applicants are considered
candidateTitle	Instahyre's candidate-facing title when it differs from title
isDiversityEmployer	Employer carries Instahyre's diversity-hiring badge
isFeaturedEmployer	Employer carries Instahyre's featured badge
contentHash	Fingerprint of title / skills / location / company used for updated detection
contactEmail	Employer email (only when enrichEmails is on and one is found)
changeType	In monitoring mode: new, updated (public fields changed), unchanged (only with includeUnchanged), or removed (only with includeRemoved after a complete scan)
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp of the run

Every search run also writes MARKET_SNAPSHOT to the run's key-value store: live facet counts (total jobs, top companies, top locations, function mix, company-size and job-type splits) for the filters you used. That record is not a dataset row and is not billed.

Coming from another Instahyre scraper?

You asked for	getascraper / themineworks	This actor
Server-side function slugs	jobFunctionSlugs	Same key, resolved against Instahyre's live catalog
Diversity-employer filter	diversityEmployersOnly	Same, from the list payload badge
New / updated / removed	monitorMode: changes_only	monitoringMode + updated always; includeRemoved opt-in so existing schedules are not surprise-billed
Market facet snapshot	KV MARKET_SNAPSHOT	Same key, not billed
Company hiring tracker	trackCompanies	Same key — one billed row per exact employer (open-role count, location/skill mix, deltas). Other search filters are ignored
Exact company-name lookup	companyNames hits companies= first	Same: recognised names bind server-side; unrecognised names fall back to a partial scan
Recruiter / agency / experience	includeDetails / excludeAgencyPosted	Public list, job JSON and JSON-LD do not publish those fields; we do not invent them
locations / stateName / maxJobs / proxyConfiguration	Their key names	Accepted as aliases; cities, monitorStateName, maxItems, proxy stay the published keys

The company fields are what most job scrapers drop — they turn a job feed into a company-intelligence feed you can segment by size, age and stack.

❓ FAQ

Can I get a daily feed of only new jobs? Yes — that's monitor mode. Turn on monitoringMode, put the actor on an Apify schedule, and each run returns only postings that appeared since the last one. See the Hiring Monitor section above.

How do I watch one company's hiring instead of a job list? Pass exact Instahyre names in trackCompanies (the spelling from a MARKET_SNAPSHOT topCompanies row). The run returns one billed row per company: open-role count, location mix, skill mix, and new/closed job ids versus the last run. Unknown names are skipped and not billed.

What if I type a company name Instahyre does not recognise? companyNames tries Instahyre's exact companies= token first. A miss ({"companies":["Invalid company"]}) falls back to a partial match on the scanned pages. trackCompanies does not fall back — it skips the unknown name.

How does the city filter work if the API ignores location parameters? The skill filter narrows the walk server-side; the city/remote filters then keep only rows whose location matches, on our side. Skipped rows are never billed. The trade-off: a very narrow city in a broad skill can take a few extra unbilled pages to fill your maxItems. Pass several cities in cities to widen the net — a job in any of them passes.

Can I search by job function, not just a skill? Two ways. jobFunctions / searchQueries are free text (product manager, sales) and walk the skill index. jobFunctionSlugs uses Instahyre's own ids (backend-development) and is the filter the API actually applies server-side — verified: job_functions=1 drops the board from ~13.6k to the matching function. Unknown slugs are skipped with a warning.

Can I run more than one saved monitor? Yes — give each watch its own monitorStateName. Each name keeps an independent "already seen" history, so a bangalore-eng schedule and a remote-sales schedule never mask each other's new jobs.

Does it include salary? Instahyre's public API does not expose salary on listings, so there is no salary column pretending otherwise.

What does enrichEmails cost? It is billed as an additional-data event only on rows where an email was actually found — see the pricing tab. Discovery uses the company name plus a business-match guard, so unrelated domains are rejected rather than guessed.

Do I need a proxy? No. Instahyre's Cloudflare passes browser-grade TLS from a direct connection; the retry ladder adds residential automatically if a request struggles.
