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.

Point it at a keyword/location/country or a Glassdoor search URL and it scrapes every listing on the results, following pagination automatically until it has enough. ### Global coverage Glassdoor only operates nine country sites (there's no separate `.de`/`.fr`/`.nl`/etc - every market shares the same English-language platform): | Country | Domain | | -------------- | ---------------- | | United States | glassdoor.com | | United Kingdom | glassdoor.co.uk | | Canada | glassdoor.ca | | Australia | glassdoor.com.au | | New Zealand | glassdoor.co.nz | | Ireland | glassdoor.ie | | India | glassdoor.co.in | | Hong Kong | glassdoor.com.hk | | Singapore | glassdoor.sg | Pick one via the **Country** input, or paste a **Start URL** from any of them directly. ### How to use Glassdoor Jobs Scraper ![How Glassdoor Jobs Scraper works](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/glassdoor-jobs-scraper--how-it-works.png) 1. Click **Try for free** (or **Start**) to open the Actor. 2. Either: - Set **Keyword**, **Location**, and **Country** to have the Actor build a search for you, or - Go to a Glassdoor site, search for the role/location you want, and paste the resulting URL into **Start URLs** (this takes priority when set). 3. Optionally set **Max jobs per start URL** and **Max search result pages**. 4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish, then open the **Dataset** tab to view, filter, and export the results. ### Input ![Glassdoor Jobs Scraper input options](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/glassdoor-jobs-scraper--input.png) | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `startUrls` | array (optional) | Glassdoor job search result page URLs on any of the nine domains above. Takes priority over `keyword`/`location`/`country`. | | `keyword` | string (optional) | Job title/skill/keyword. Used to build a search URL when `startUrls` is empty. | | `location` | string (optional) | Free-text location. Used to build a search URL when `startUrls` is empty. | | `country` | string (optional) | Which Glassdoor country site to search when building a URL. Defaults to `us`. | | `maxItems` | integer (optional) | Maximum job listings per start URL/search. Defaults to 50. | | `maxPages` | integer (optional) | Safety cap on search result pages to paginate through. Defaults to 10. | | `scrapeJobDetails` | boolean (optional) | Best-effort full-description enrichment - see **Full descriptions vs. snippets** below. Defaults to `false`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object (required) | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Proxy's Residential group - Glassdoor blocks a majority of unproxied/datacenter-IP requests.| See the **Input** tab for the full schema. ### Output ![Glassdoor Jobs Scraper dataset output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/glassdoor-jobs-scraper--output.png) ![Glassdoor Jobs Scraper data fields](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/glassdoor-jobs-scraper--fields.png) Each dataset item looks like this: ```json { "jobId": "1010223788583", "title": "Sr. Data Scientist", "companyName": "Canoe Software", "companyRating": 2.9, "location": "London, England", "salaryText": "£160k - £180k", "salaryIsEstimate": false, "descriptionSnippet": "Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and build data-driven products and solutions…", "postedAge": "10d", "postedDate": "2026-08-07", "easyApply": false, "country": "uk", "url": "https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/job-listing/sr-data-scientist-canoe-software-JV_IC2671300_KO0,17_KE18,32.htm?jl=1010223788583", "fullDescription": null, "fullDescriptionScraped": false } ``` `fullDescription` stays `null` and `fullDescriptionScraped` stays `false` for every item unless **Scrape full job descriptions** is turned on - see below. #### Data table | Field | Description | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `jobId` | Glassdoor's internal job listing ID | | `title` | Job title | | `companyName` | Hiring company name | | `companyRating` | Company's Glassdoor rating out of 5, if shown | | `location` | Job location | | `salaryText` | Salary range as shown on the card | | `salaryIsEstimate` | `true` = Glassdoor-estimated salary, `false` = employer-provided, `null` = no salary shown | | `descriptionSnippet` | Truncated description shown on the search results card | | `postedAge` | Raw "how long ago posted" badge (e.g. `"10d"`, `"30d+"`) | | `postedDate` | `postedAge` converted to an approximate ISO date | | `easyApply` | Whether the listing supports Glassdoor Easy Apply | | `country` | Which Glassdoor country site the job came from | | `url` | Link to the live listing | | `fullDescription` | Full job description text, only populated when `scrapeJobDetails` is on and the detail page wasn't blocked | | `fullDescriptionScraped` | Whether `fullDescription` was actually obtained | You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. ### Full descriptions vs. snippets Glassdoor's search result pages are what this Actor scrapes by default, and they already carry title, company, rating, location, salary, easy-apply status, and a real (if truncated) description snippet for every job - all reliably, without needing a proxy. Glassdoor's individual job-listing pages sit behind a **much stricter** Cloudflare interactive challenge than the search pages do, and even the search pages themselves block a majority of unproxied/datacenter-IP requests - that's why proxy is required and defaults to Apify Proxy's Residential group. Turning on **Scrape full job descriptions** makes the Actor visit each job's detail page for the untruncated text; when a detail page is blocked, the job is **not dropped** - it's still pushed to the dataset with its snippet data and `fullDescriptionScraped: false`. Expect a mix of hits and blocks on detail pages rather than a guaranteed 100% success rate, even with Residential proxy. ### Cost estimation With `scrapeJobDetails` off (the default), cost scales with the number of search result pages, not the number of jobs - each page returns up to 30 jobs in one browser page load. Turning it on adds one extra page load per job, most of which may be blocked. ### Tips - Add multiple start URLs (different roles, locations, countries) to cover more ground in a single run. - Salary is only shown by Glassdoor when either the employer discloses it or Glassdoor has enough data to estimate it - many listings will have `salaryText: null`. - Proxy is required and defaults to Residential; don't turn it off even for small runs. ### FAQ, disclaimers, and support This Actor only collects publicly listed Glassdoor data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Glassdoor. Respect Glassdoor's Terms of Service when using the scraped data. Found a bug or have a feature request? Use the Issues tab on this Actor's page. Custom scraper solutions are also available on request. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Glassdoor job search result page URLs to start scraping from, on any Glassdoor country site (glassdoor.com, glassdoor.co.uk, glassdoor.ca, glassdoor.com.au, glassdoor.co.nz, glassdoor.ie, glassdoor.co.in, glassdoor.com.hk, glassdoor.sg). Takes priority over Keyword/Location/Country below when set. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Job title, skill, or keyword to search for. Used to build a search URL when Start URLs is empty. ## `location` (type: `string`): Free-text location to search in (city, state, or region). Used to build a search URL when Start URLs is empty. ## `country` (type: `string`): Which Glassdoor country site to search when building a URL from Keyword/Location. Ignored if Start URLs is set. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of job listings to scrape for each start URL / search. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Safety cap on how many search result pages to paginate through for each start URL / search. Since results are billed per item, this must be set explicitly so a single search can't run away into an unbounded number of pages. ## `scrapeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each job's detail page for the untruncated description. Off by default: search-result pages already carry title, company, rating, location, salary, and a real (if truncated) description snippet for every job, reliably and without a proxy. Detail pages sit behind a much stricter Cloudflare challenge - turning this on adds one extra page load per job, and any job whose detail page is blocked still lands in the dataset using its snippet as a fallback. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Required - Glassdoor blocks a majority of unproxied/datacenter-IP requests (confirmed live), on both search pages and (if Scrape full job descriptions is on) job-detail pages. Defaults to Apify Proxy's Residential group. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/software-engineer-jobs-SRCH_KO0,17.htm" } ], "keyword": "Software Engineer", "country": "us", "maxItems": 10, "maxPages": 5, "scrapeJobDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
