ZipRecruiter Scraper — Jobs by Keyword or URL + Employer Emails

Scrape ZipRecruiter job listings at scale: search by keyword + location or paste any ZipRecruiter search URL, and get full postings — salary, employment type, remote flag, company details, precise coordinates and direct/external apply links. Flip one toggle and the scraper also finds a verified employer contact email for each job's company — turning job data into ready-to-use recruiting and lead-gen lists.

Pricing (pay per event)

Actor start	$0.005	Once per run (per GB of run memory)
Job result	$0.005	Per job pushed to the dataset
Employer email found	$0.02	Only when opt-in enrichment finds a verified contact email

Example: 1,000 jobs ≈ $5. With email enrichment on and a ~30% hit rate: 1,000 jobs + 300 emails ≈ $11. Emails are billed only when found — misses are free.

        },
        {
            "url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.com/jobs-search?form=jobs-landing&search=fire+alarm+technician&location=New+York%2C+NY"
        }
    ],
    "maxItems": 1000,
    "maxConcurrency": 10,
    "minConcurrency": 1,
    "maxRequestRetries": 10,
    "externalApplyOnly": false,

}

Output Structure

When externalApplyOnly is enabled, only items with isExternalApply: true are emitted.

External Apply Notes

• externalApplyOnly works best on search result URLs because the SERP payload contains the strongest apply metadata.
• Some individual job pages still expose directApply in their structured data even when the originating SERP card was external. The actor preserves the stronger SERP signal so external jobs are not dropped.
• externalApplyUrl may still point to a ZipRecruiter redirect URL. The final third-party destination is usually embedded behind that redirect token.

Employer Contact Emails (opt-in)

Set "enrichEmails": true and every job record gains three extra fields:

• contactEmail — best verified email for the hiring company
• contactWebsite — the company website the email was found on
• emailEnrichment — full enrichment detail (all emails found, source, confidence)

Discovery uses the company name + location with a business-domain guard (no residential or junk domains) and on-site contact-page scraping. Charged only on success — $0.02 per email actually found.

FAQ

How much does a run cost? $0.005 per job + $0.005 actor start. 500 jobs ≈ $2.51. Email enrichment adds $0.02 per email found (only when found).

Do I need proxies? Yes — use residential proxies (US for ziprecruiter.com; IE/IN for the regional sites). Apify RESIDENTIAL works out of the box.

Which domains are supported? ziprecruiter.com (US), ziprecruiter.ie (Ireland), ziprecruiter.in (India).

Can I keep only external-apply jobs? Yes — set externalApplyOnly: true to keep only jobs that redirect to an external ATS (ideal for sourcing direct employer application links).
