What does this Indeed scraper do?

This Actor extracts the full job listing payload for any country Indeed supports, including fields not surfaced in the standard Indeed UI. Output includes compensation models, administrative geodata, employer-submitted recruit data, occupation taxonomies, and auction metadata.

You can run it two ways:

• With a query — search for specific roles, companies, or keywords, filtered by country, location, date range, and more
• Without a query — retrieve the full job stock for any of the 63 supported countries

Because the data is deeply nested (compensation union types, admin1–4 location hierarchy, multi-field recruit block, occupations array), JSON is the recommended output format. CSV and Excel exports are available through the Apify platform but will flatten or truncate nested fields.

How to scrape Indeed jobs — step by step

1. Click Try for free at the top of this page
2. Create a free Apify account if you don't have one
3. Set country and optionally a query, location, and date filters
4. Click Start
5. When the run finishes, download your dataset as JSON

No proxy setup. No browser configuration. No technical knowledge required.

How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

This Actor uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing. Compute is free. You are charged only for results written to the dataset, plus a negligible one-time start fee per run.

Event	Cost
Per result (dataset item)	$0.0049
Per run start	$0.00005

Volume discounts apply automatically based on your Apify subscription tier:

Tier	Per result
No discount	$0.0049
Bronze	$0.0044
Silver	$0.0039
Gold	$0.0034

Example: 100,000 results at the standard rate = $490, plus $0.00005 for the run start.

No proxy fees. No compute charges. No surprises.

An Apify account is required to run this Actor. See apify.com/pricing for platform subscription tiers.

Enterprise & bulk pricing

For high-volume or enterprise use cases, fixed pricing with unlimited results is available. Reach out at etr@metaretica.com.

Use cases

Labor market research — build compensation benchmarks, skills demand analyses, or hiring trend reports across countries and industries. The structured compensation union types and occupation taxonomy are directly usable without post-processing.

Job market datasets by country — the full enumeration mode (empty query) produces country-wide job stock snapshots. With date range filtering on dateOnIndeed, you can retrieve only listings added within a specific window, enabling incremental dataset updates.

Recruitment intelligence — monitor company hiring activity by filtering on employer.key or sourceEmployerName. The feed.feedSourceType field distinguishes direct employer postings (EMPLOYER) from aggregated listings (JOB_BOARD).

HR tech and ATS enrichment — pipe fresh job market data into your product to give clients real-time market context for their open roles and salary ranges.

Job aggregation — maintain a continuously refreshed index of Indeed listings. The description.hash32 field makes deduplication straightforward, and date range filtering on dateOnIndeed enables incremental indexing.

Salary benchmarking — the compensation.baseSalary.range union types and compensation.estimated block provide structured salary data at a level of detail not available from rendered HTML scraping.

Lead generation — job.url, job.recruit.viewJobUrl, tracking.applyStartClick.url, and employer.key provide multiple contact and identification vectors for companies actively hiring.

---

Integrations

The Actor integrates with the full Apify platform stack:

• Apify API — trigger runs and fetch results programmatically in any language
• Make / Zapier — pipe job data into Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, or any SaaS tool
• Webhooks — get notified when a run completes
• Scheduling — run on any cron-based cadence for continuous dataset freshness

API example (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("YOUR_ACTOR_ID").call(run_input={
    "query": "software engineer",
    "country": "de",
    "location": "Berlin",
    "maxResults": 1000,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

API example (JavaScript)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call({
    query: 'product manager',
    country: 'fr',
    maxResults: 500,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Indeed? This Actor only extracts publicly available job listing data accessible via Indeed's API. It does not extract private user data, bypass authentication, or access anything that is not already public. We recommend using extracted data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including GDPR in the EU. See Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping for further context.

Why is JSON the recommended output format? The raw API schema is deeply nested — compensation is a union type with four possible shapes, location includes up to four administrative levels, and occupations and attributes are arrays of objects. Flattening this to CSV or Excel without losing information requires post-processing decisions that vary by use case. Export as JSON and transform downstream to suit your needs. CSV is available on the Apify platform if you only need top-level scalar fields.

Why doesn't this Actor need proxies? This Actor operates at the API level rather than rendering web pages, which means it does not trigger the IP-based rate limiting that browser-based scrapers encounter. This is also why throughput reaches 100 jobs/sec and platform credit costs remain minimal regardless of result volume.

Does the empty-query mode really return all jobs in a country? Yes. When the what parameter is omitted, Indeed's API returns the full job stock for the specified country market. The Actor handles traversal automatically up to your maxResults cap.

What is dateOnIndeed vs datePublished vs dateLastAnnotated? Three distinct timestamps. datePublished is when the employer originally published the role — it may be years old for evergreen listings. dateOnIndeed is when Indeed ingested the listing into its index, and is the most useful field for freshness filtering. dateLastAnnotated is when Indeed last updated its internal annotation of the listing (taxonomy, compensation estimates, etc.).

What is feed.feedSourceType? It distinguishes EMPLOYER listings (posted directly by the company) from JOB_BOARD listings (aggregated from third-party job boards). Useful when you want to filter for direct employer postings only.

What is the compensation.key field? A base64-encoded protobuf containing Indeed's full internal compensation model, including inferred pay ranges, salary type, currency, and schema version. It is included in the output as-is. The decoded compensation data is also surfaced in the structured baseSalary and estimated fields.

What happens if Indeed changes its API? We monitor the Actor continuously. If an API change causes failures, we push a fix and announce it in the changelog.
