## Pricing

from $0.70 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Indeed.com Job Scraper — Keyword & Location Search + Salary

Scrape job listings from **indeed.com** search results — the largest job board in the
US. Get clean, structured job postings with **title, company, location, salary,
posted date, and URL**, plus sponsored-listing flags and company ratings where
available. No login required.

### What you get

One dataset item per job posting:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| title | string | Job title exactly as posted |
| company | string | Employer name |
| location | string/null | City/region or "United States" for remote roles |
| salary | string/null | Salary range text (e.g. "$120,000 - $150,000") when estimated by Indeed |
| posted | string/null | Posting date (ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`) |
| url | string | Canonical link to the job posting |
| is\_sponsored | boolean (optional) | True for promoted/bid listings that are still real job postings |
| company\_rating | number (optional) | Employer rating (0–5) when shown |

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| keyword | string (required) | Search keyword, e.g. `marketing` or `java developer` |
| location | string | Optional city or region filter, e.g. `New York` or `Austin, TX` |
| max\_pages | integer | Result pages to crawl — ~43 jobs on page 1 + ~15 per later page (default 5 ≈ 103 jobs, max 50 ≈ 778 jobs) |
| fromage | integer | Only jobs posted within the last N days (1 = last 24h, 7 = last week, max 14). Results are always sorted by date, newest first |
| proxyConfiguration | object | Residential proxy (default on the Apify platform) |

### How much data per run?

A default run (5 pages) yields **~100 unique job postings**; the maximum 50 pages
can return **~700+** per query. For even broader coverage, fan out across keywords
and locations — each run is fast and you pay only per result.

**Freshness:** results are date-sorted (newest first). Combine with `fromage` and a
daily/weekly schedule for complete market coverage without deep pagination — e.g.
`fromage=1` daily captures every new posting for your keywords.

For recruiting pipelines, market mapping, salary benchmarks, and job-board
monitoring, schedule runs daily or weekly — Indeed postings churn fast.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$1 per 1,000 results** ($0.70/1k on Apify paid plans) + $0.005 per actor start.
A typical 5-page run (~100 results) costs about $0.105.

### Notes

- Residential proxy is used automatically on the Apify platform (Indeed blocks
  datacenter IPs). Keep the default proxy settings.
- Salary values come from Indeed's own estimates on the search page — when Indeed
  shows none, the field is `null` (never fabricated).
- Sponsored listings are included and flagged via `is_sponsored` so you can filter
  them in your pipeline.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call mind_momentum/indeed-jobs --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mind_momentum/indeed-jobs"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
