Indeed Scraper

Scrape Indeed job postings with salaries: titles, companies, locations, pay ranges, and full descriptions, across 70+ countries.

What does Indeed Scraper do?

Give it a job title and a location and it returns matching Indeed postings as structured data: the job title, employer, location, whether it is remote, employment type, posting date, salary range, the Indeed link and the employer's own apply link, a short employer profile, and the full job description.

It is built for Indeed alone. Indeed answers automated searches far more reliably than other boards, and it publishes pay ranges on a large share of its listings, so a dedicated Actor can lean on both instead of settling for the lowest common denominator across several sites.

Running it on Apify adds API access, scheduling, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, S3), residential proxy rotation, and run monitoring.

Why use Indeed Scraper?

• Salary benchmarking: collect hundreds of advertised pay ranges for a role and market.
• Recruitment research: see who is hiring, where, and what they are offering.
• Competitor hiring intelligence: track a rival's openings over time and spot where they are growing.
• Job aggregation: feed a niche job board or a candidate newsletter.
• Job hunting at scale: pull every relevant opening into one spreadsheet.

How to scrape Indeed jobs

1. Enter one or more Job titles or keywords, e.g. data engineer.
2. Enter a Location and pick the matching Country.
3. Set Results per search term and click Start.

Results appear in the Output tab as they are scraped.

Input

Set the input on the Input tab, or send it as JSON through the API. Only search_terms is required.

Field	Description
search_terms	Job titles or keywords, one per line. Each is searched separately and results are merged with duplicates removed.
location	City, state, or region. Leave empty to search the whole country.
country	Which Indeed site to search. Indeed runs a separate site per country.
results_wanted	How many jobs to collect per keyword (default 50).
hours_old	Only recent postings: 24 for today, 168 for the past week.
job_type	Full-time, part-time, contract, or internship.
remote_only	Only jobs advertised as remote.
distance_miles	How far from the location to search.
easy_apply_only	Only jobs you can apply to on Indeed itself.
annual_salary_only	Convert hourly and monthly pay to a yearly figure so salaries compare directly.
offset	Skip the first N results, for paging across runs.
proxy_country	Comma-separated 2-letter country codes for the residential proxy exits (default US,GB,DE,NL,FR). UK is read as GB. Malformed codes are skipped, and the run stops with a message if none is usable.

Indeed applies one filter group per search. "Posted within" (hours_old) wins over Easy Apply, and Easy Apply wins over job type and remote. Lower-priority filters are ignored, and the run log says which ones were dropped. To combine them, run one filter per search.

Data fields

Field	Description
job_id, title, company, location	The posting basics.
is_remote	Whether the job is advertised as remote.
job_type	Employment type (e.g. fulltime, parttime, contract), when the posting states one.
date_posted	When the job was published.
salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_interval	Advertised pay, and whether it is hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Empty when the posting has no pay.
salary_source	direct_data: the pay comes from Indeed's own structured salary data, not guessed from the job text.
description	Full job description. Headings, lists, and bold text are kept as Markdown, and escape backslashes are removed so it also reads cleanly as plain text.
job_url	The Indeed posting.
apply_url	The employer's own application link, where Indeed exposes it.
company_url	The employer's Indeed company page.
company_size, company_logo, company_address	Employer profile from Indeed, filled for most employers. company_address is the headquarters address.
company_industry	The employer's industry. Indeed lists it for only a minority of employers, so it is often empty.
emails	A list of contact addresses that appear in the description. It is empty for most postings.

How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

The Actor is priced per result. You pay $0.002 per job saved to the dataset, plus $0.00005 per run start (charged once per GB of memory, and the default 1 GB is all the Actor needs). That works out to about $2.00 per 1,000 results. Proxy and compute costs are included. Searches that return nothing are not billed, because they are never saved as rows.

Results per search term is the main cost lever. A run with 3 keywords at 50 results each costs at most about $0.30. The Apify free plan's monthly credit covers roughly 2,500 jobs.

Tips for scraping Indeed

• Daily monitoring. Schedule the Actor with hours_old: 24 and each run returns only what is new.
• Several narrow searches beat one broad one. Indeed limits how deep any single search goes, so senior python engineer plus python engineer returns more than engineer alone.
• Turn on annual conversion when you compare pay across roles. Otherwise hourly and yearly figures sit in the same column.
• Country is a separate site. Searching USA will not return UK listings. Run each market you care about.
• Check the run's status message. Search terms that returned nothing, or that Indeed cut off partway, are listed with a reason under FAILED_INPUTS in the run's key-value store. The run fails only when Indeed refused every search.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Why do some jobs have no salary? Many employers simply do not publish pay. The Actor only reports pay that Indeed itself attaches to the posting. It does not guess from the description, because many postings list different ranges for several cities, and a guess would often pick the wrong one.

Why did I get fewer results than I asked for? Indeed caps how far any single search goes. When a search is exhausted the Actor stops rather than re-collecting the same postings. To get more, split the search into narrower terms or locations.

Does it need an Indeed account or API key? No. It reads only publicly visible job postings.

Is scraping Indeed legal? The Actor collects only publicly visible job postings, not candidate data. Indeed's Terms of Service restrict automated access, and you are responsible for how you use the data. Some postings include recruiter names or email addresses, which can be personal data under GDPR and similar laws, so only store them if you have a lawful reason. Consult a lawyer if you are unsure.
