ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper

What does ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper do?

ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper extracts job listings from ZipRecruiter - title, company, location, salary, employment type, and posted date. Point it at a keyword/location or a ZipRecruiter search URL and it scrapes every listing on the results, following pagination automatically until it has enough.

Why this Actor requires a Residential proxy

ZipRecruiter sits behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. In live testing, a plain HTTP request and a browser without proxy+stealth both got an interstitial "Just a moment..." page instead of results, and Apify's default/datacenter proxy pool was blocked on every attempt. A stealth (Camoufox/hardened-Firefox) browser session on a Residential proxy group passed on every attempt tested. That's why proxyConfiguration defaults to Residential rather than the usual Apify auto-proxy - turning it off will likely make every request fail.

Tips

• Add multiple start URLs (different roles/locations) to cover more ground in a single run.
• Not every listing shows a salary or employment type on ZipRecruiter - those fields come back null when the site doesn't display them.
• location accepts city/state text (e.g. "Austin, TX") or "Remote", same as ZipRecruiter's own search box.
