Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Indeed Jobs Scraper Scrapes job postings from Indeed across 50+ country domains. ### What you get Each item in the dataset includes: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `id` | Indeed job ID | | `site` | Always `"indeed"` | | `job_url` | Direct link to the posting | | `title` | Job title | | `company` | Employer name | | `location` | Posted location | | `date_posted` | ISO date the job was posted | | `job_type` | fulltime / parttime / contract / internship / temporary | | `salary_source` | `direct_data` (from Indeed) or `description` (parsed) | | `interval` | hourly / yearly / etc. | | `min_amount`, `max_amount`, `currency` | Salary range when available | | `is_remote` | Boolean | | `description` | Full job description (markdown or HTML) | | `company_industry`, `company_logo`, `company_url` | Employer metadata | ### Input | Field | Required | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `searchTerm` | yes | `software engineer` | Indeed searches the description too — narrow terms work best | | `location` | no | `United States` | City, state, ZIP, or `remote` | | `country` | yes | `usa` | Picks the indeed.* domain | | `resultsWanted` | no | 50 | Indeed caps single searches around 1000 | | `hoursOld` | no | — | E.g. 24 for last day, 168 for last week | | `jobType` | no | `any` | fulltime / parttime / contract / internship / temporary | | `isRemote` | no | false | Overrides `distance` when true | | `distance` | no | 50 | Search radius in miles | | `descriptionFormat` | no | `markdown` | `markdown` or `html` | | `proxyConfiguration` | recommended | Apify RESIDENTIAL | Datacenter IPs get blocked quickly | ### Example input ```json { "searchTerm": "machine learning engineer", "location": "remote", "country": "usa", "resultsWanted": 200, "hoursOld": 72, "jobType": "fulltime", "isRemote": true, "descriptionFormat": "markdown", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerm` (type: `string`): Job title, keywords, or company name. Indeed searches the description field too, so broad terms return broad results. ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, ZIP, or 'remote'. Use the country-appropriate format (e.g. 'London' for UK, 'Sydney NSW' for Australia). ## `country` (type: `string`): Indeed country domain to search. This determines which indeed.\* site is hit. ## `resultsWanted` (type: `integer`): How many jobs to return. Indeed caps a single search at ~1000 results. ## `hoursOld` (type: `integer`): Only return jobs posted within the last N hours. Leave empty for no time filter. Examples: 24 (last day), 72 (3 days), 168 (last week). ## `jobType` (type: `string`): Filter by employment type. Leave as 'Any' for no filter. ## `isRemote` (type: `boolean`): Restrict results to remote positions. ## `distance` (type: `integer`): Search radius around the location. Ignored when 'Remote only' is on. ## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`): How to format the job description text. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Indeed blocks datacenter IPs. RESIDENTIAL is strongly recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerm": "python developer", "location": "San Francisco, CA", "country": "usa", "resultsWanted": 50, "jobType": "any", "isRemote": false, "distance": 50, "descriptionFormat": "markdown", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/indeed-jobs-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
