Foundit Jobs Scraper (Monster India, Gulf & SE Asia)

What does Foundit Jobs Scraper do?

Foundit Jobs Scraper collects job listings from foundit, the job site formerly known as Monster India, Monster Gulf and Monster South-East Asia. It works on all seven foundit sites: India (foundit.in), Singapore (foundit.sg), Malaysia (foundit.my), Indonesia (foundit.id), the Philippines (foundit.com.ph), Hong Kong (foundit.hk) and the Gulf (founditgulf.com). Search on foundit as you normally would, paste the link, and get every job as a clean row: title, company, location, years of experience, yearly salary range with currency, employment type, industry, function, skills, posted, updated and expiry dates, number of applicants, apply link and, on request, the full description, job types, company description, view count and every job location with coordinates.

Every filter in your link is kept: keywords, location, experience, job freshness, industry, function, sort order and anything else foundit puts in the address.

Try it with the prefilled search: open the Actor, click Start, and 50 Python developer jobs in Bengaluru are ready in about five seconds. Running on the Apify platform also gives you API access, scheduled runs, integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, webhooks) and run monitoring.

Why scrape foundit?

• Salary benchmarking in India, South-East Asia and the Gulf. Where employers publish pay, the Actor gives the yearly range as numbers in the site's currency (INR, SGD, MYR, IDR, PHP, HKD, AED).
• Skills and labour market research. Track which skills, functions and experience levels employers ask for, by city and country.
• Recruitment and sales leads. See which companies are hiring, for what, and where.
• Job aggregation. Feed a niche job board, newsletter or internal tool with fresh, structured listings, with the original apply link of each job.
• Monitoring. Schedule a daily run on a search filtered to the last day and keep only the job IDs you have not seen.

How to scrape foundit jobs

1. Open the foundit site for your country, for example foundit.in or founditgulf.com, and search: type the job title or skill, choose a location, then set any filters (experience, freshness, industry, function, sort order).
2. Copy the address from your browser's address bar, for example https://www.foundit.in/srp/results?query=python%20developer&locations=bengaluru.
3. Paste it into foundit search or job links. Add as many links as you like, one per line; sites can be mixed.
4. Set Max jobs per search link, and turn on Include job details if you need full descriptions.
5. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Input

Everything is set on the Input tab. In JSON, the input looks like this:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.foundit.in/srp/results?query=python%20developer&locations=bengaluru&experienceRanges=5~8&jobFreshness=7",
        "foundit.sg/srp/results?query=accountant",
        { "url": "https://www.founditgulf.com/srp/results?query=engineer&locations=dubai" },
        "https://www.foundit.in/search/infosys-671064-jobs-career",
        "https://www.founditgulf.com/job/pre-sales-solution-architect-ericsson-saudi-arabia-riyadh-69435207"
    ],
    "maxResults": 100,
    "includeDescription": false
}

Field	What it does
startUrls	foundit links, one per line. Search results links (/srp/results?...) keep every filter. Keyword, city and company pages such as /search/python-jobs-in-bangalore or /search/infosys-671064-jobs-career are turned into the same search; a Gulf-wide page such as /search/java-jobs-in-gulf searches all of founditgulf.com. A single job link (/job/...-69435207) gives that one job. Old monsterindia.com, monstergulf.com, monster.com.sg, monster.com.my, monster.co.id, monster.com.ph and monster.com.hk links are read as their foundit sites. https:// is optional, and API callers can also send {"url": "…"} objects.
maxResults	Stops after this many jobs from each search link. Default: 100. foundit returns up to 100 jobs per request and serves at most the first 10,000 results of any search.
includeDescription	Reads each job's details to add the full description (HTML and plain text), job types, the company's description, view count and every job location with coordinates. Default: off. It takes one extra request per job, so it is slower and charged a little extra per job (see the Pricing tab).
proxyConfiguration	Leave empty. The Actor connects directly and falls back to Apify Proxy on its own (datacenter, then residential in the site's country). Choosing a proxy sends every request through it; Apify's datacenter proxy is refused by foundit more often than not.

Which filters are kept?

All of them: the Actor keeps the query string of your link as it is and only adds paging. Some examples of what foundit puts in its links:

On foundit	In the link
Keywords	query=python%20developer
Location	locations=bengaluru
Experience (years)	experienceRanges=5~8
Job freshness (days)	jobFreshness=7
Industry	industries=IT%2FComputers%20-%20Software
Company	companyIds=671064

Output

Each job becomes one row. Here is a real one from foundit.sg with job details turned on, with the long texts shortened:

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. The Output tab has two views: Jobs (the main columns) and Full details.

Data fields

Field	Description
jobId	foundit's job number.
title	Job title.
companyName	Company name, as foundit writes it. Empty when the employer hides it.
companyId	foundit's company number (the one in company page links).
companyLogo	The company logo, when foundit has one.
locations	The job's places as foundit lists them, for example "Bengaluru, India" or "Saudi Arabia, Riyadh".
experienceMinYears, experienceMaxYears	Years of experience asked for. Empty when the job does not say.
salaryMin, salaryMax	The yearly pay range as numbers. Empty when the employer gave no pay or chose to hide it.
salaryCurrency	INR, SGD, MYR, IDR, PHP, HKD, AED, … Empty when there is no pay range.
salaryHidden	true when the employer marked the pay as confidential; foundit does not show it, and neither does the Actor.
employmentTypes	Such as "Full time".
industries, functions	The employer's industry and the job's function, as foundit labels them.
skills	Skills listed on the job.
postedAt, updatedAt	When the job was posted and last updated on foundit, in UTC.
expiresAt	When the listing closes on foundit, in UTC.
totalApplicants	Applicants foundit counts for the job; often 0 for jobs that are applied for on another site.
quickApply	true when the job is applied for on foundit itself (foundit's Quick Apply).
jobSource	ORGANIC for jobs posted on foundit by the employer, SCRAPPING (foundit's spelling) for jobs foundit collected from company career sites and other boards; most of those are applied for at applyUrl.
applyUrl	Where to apply, when that is outside foundit (company career site, LinkedIn, a government job bank, …). Empty for jobs applied for on foundit itself, and for some collected jobs that carry no outside link.
jobUrl	The job's page on foundit.
site, market	The foundit site the job was found on (foundit.in, founditgulf.com, …) and its market (India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Gulf). A site can list jobs from neighbouring countries, so check locations for the job's own place.
description, descriptionText	The full job description, as HTML and as plain text with one line per paragraph or bullet (only with Include job details).
companyDescription	The company's own description, when foundit has one (only with details).
jobTypes	Such as "Permanent Job" or "Work From Home" (only with details; search results leave this out).
views	How many times the job has been viewed on foundit (only with details).
jobLocations	Every place of the job with city, state, country, two-letter country code and coordinates (only with details).
searchUrl	The link you pasted that found this job.
scrapedAt	When the job was collected, in UTC.

The six detail fields are left out of the rows entirely when details are off. A job whose details could not be read is still saved, with those fields empty, and is not charged the details price; the run's status message says how many.

How much does it cost to scrape foundit?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a small fixed price for each job saved, and a small extra price for each job saved with its details. The exact prices are on the Pricing tab.

Details cost extra because foundit returns 100 jobs in one search request but needs one request per job for its details, so a run with details makes about 100 times as many requests.

You are never charged for links that return nothing: a search with no jobs, a search whose filters foundit rejects, an expired job or a link that is not a foundit search is listed in the run's FAILED_INPUTS record instead. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops as soon as it is reached.

Tips for scraping foundit

• Let foundit filter for you. Narrow the search on foundit (location, experience, freshness, industry) before copying the link. foundit applies the filters itself, so you only collect, and pay for, matching jobs.
• Big searches stop at 10,000 jobs. foundit serves no results past the 10,000th, however you page. Split a bigger search by location, experience or freshness.
• Monitor new jobs by scheduling a daily run on a link with jobFreshness=1 and keeping only job IDs you have not seen.
• Leave job details off unless you need the description: runs are much faster and cheaper, and every row still has title, company, location, experience, pay, skills and dates.
• The same job found by two of your links is saved once.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Which sites are supported? foundit.in, foundit.sg, foundit.my, foundit.id, foundit.com.ph, foundit.hk and founditgulf.com, plus the old Monster links of those markets. monster.com (Monster in the US and Europe) is a different company's site and is not supported.

Why do many jobs have no salary? Most employers on foundit do not publish pay, and some publish a range but mark it confidential. Both come back empty; salaryHidden tells the second case apart.

Why do many jobs link to LinkedIn or company sites? foundit lists many jobs it collected from other boards and career sites (jobSource SCRAPPING). Their applyUrl is where the job is really applied for.

What happens to links that return nothing? They are not saved as rows, so you are not charged for them. Each is listed with its reason (no jobs match the search, foundit rejected the search's filters, job expired or removed, not a foundit search) in the FAILED_INPUTS record of the run's key-value store, and the run's status message gives the counts. A run fails only when every link could not be loaded.

Is it legal to scrape foundit? This Actor collects publicly posted job listings that employers publish so that people can find and apply for them. It does not collect recruiters' names or phone numbers. foundit's robots.txt asks automated clients not to use the interface this Actor reads; you are responsible for making sure your use complies with foundit's terms and with the laws that apply to you, such as data protection and copyright rules for republishing descriptions. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.
