Scheduled monitoring — get only new Indeed jobs

Set up an automated Indeed job monitor that delivers only fresh postings:

1. Enable "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true and pick a dedupeStoreName.
2. Set "notifyWebhookUrl" to your Slack incoming webhook, Make/Zapier scenario, n8n workflow, or any HTTPS endpoint.
3. Schedule the actor (hourly / daily) from the Apify Console → Schedules.
4. Each run's dataset (and webhook payload) contains only postings unseen in prior runs.

Webhook payload (POST, application/json)

{
  "event": "indeed.jobs.scraped",
  "finishedAt": "2026-05-18T10:00:00.000Z",
  "runId": "abc123",
  "datasetId": "xyz789",
  "datasetItemsUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/xyz789/items?format=json",
  "source": {
    "query": "data analyst",
    "country": "us",
    "location": "New York, NY"
  },
  "monitoring": true,
  "totalJobs": 18,
  "delivered": 18,
  "truncated": false,
  "jobs": [
    {
      "title": "Senior Data Analyst",
      "companyName": "Acme Corp",
      "salaryText": "$90,000 - $120,000 a year",
      "normalizedSalary": {
        "annualMin": 87692,
        "annualMax": 131538,
        "currency": "USD"
      },
      "skills": ["SQL", "Python"],
      "jobUrl": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=...",
      "applyUrl": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}

Up to 200 jobs are inlined; if truncated is true, fetch the rest from datasetItemsUrl. Test with a free webhook.site URL before connecting production endpoints.

Output formats & integrations

Pull results as:

• JSON — https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{DATASET_ID}/items?format=json
• CSV — ?format=csv
• Excel — ?format=xlsx
• XML / HTML / JSONL — same dataset endpoint, different format param

Native integrations: Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Airtable, Google Sheets, Pipedream, plus generic webhooks.

Pricing

This actor is priced per scraped job result via Apify's built-in pay-per-result billing.

• Measured Apify usage — approximately $6–7 per 1,000 jobs of platform cost (browser compute + residential proxy bandwidth).
• Recommended retail price — $8–12 per 1,000 jobs to maintain margin, or compete on enrichment + monitoring differentiators rather than raw price.
• Re-measure with apify run after any change before locking the production price.

The pay-per-event configuration lives in .actor/pay_per_event.json. Final pricing is set in Apify Console → Publication → Monetization.

Realistic expectations & limits

Indeed is Cloudflare-protected and aggressively rate-limits deep pagination. This actor uses a fingerprinted headless browser over Apify residential proxies — the most reliable self-contained approach. Plan accordingly:

• Dependable yield — ~1 results page per search (~15–25 jobs) plus full job details. Deeper pagination is attempted, but treat page 1 as the reliable floor.
• Best fits — scheduled monitoring (only-new-since-last-run), niche / targeted queries, salary and skill intelligence.
• Less suited for — bulk multi-thousand-job harvests in a single run. For that, run multiple narrower queries on a schedule.

---

How it works

A single PlaywrightCrawler with:

• Browser fingerprint injection to look like real users.
• Apify residential proxies with session rotation per blocked request.
• Cloudflare challenge detection — interstitials (title, page markers, status codes) are detected and the session is retired and retried on a fresh fingerprint.
• Bandwidth control — images, fonts, media, and trackers are blocked at the network layer.

Parsing strategy

• Listing pages — extracts window.mosaic.providerData["mosaic-provider-jobcards"] JSON via a brace-matching extractor, with explicit "no results" vs "soft block" detection.
• Detail pages — deep-searches window._initialData for the job model (resilient to Indeed reshaping JSON paths), with <title> + regex fallbacks.
• Pagination — start parameter is stepped by Indeed's real page size (15). Stops at the last (short) page instead of hammering a dead offset and triggering blocks.

If Indeed changes its private remote/hybrid filter codes, the actor falls back to a query keyword so runs don't fail outright.

FAQ

Is this Indeed scraper legal?

The actor scrapes only publicly accessible Indeed job postings. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and Indeed's terms of service. This actor is not affiliated with Indeed.

Why are residential proxies required?

Indeed is protected by Cloudflare and blocks datacenter IPs almost instantly. The default Apify residential proxy group is strongly recommended — without it, runs will fail with Cloudflare challenges.

Can I scrape Indeed UK, Canada, Germany, or India?

Yes. Set the country field to any of 50+ supported domains (gb, ca, de, in, fr, au, etc.), or paste country-specific Indeed URLs directly into urls.

How do I get only new jobs since my last run?

Enable "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true and set a dedupeStoreName. Pair with a schedule and a notifyWebhookUrl for a fully automated Indeed job alert in Slack, Make, Zapier, or your own system.

Does it return salary data?

Yes — both raw salary text (salary.salaryText) and normalized annualized salaries (normalizedSalary.annualMin/annualMax) converted to your chosen targetCurrency. Hourly, weekly, and monthly rates are auto-annualized.

Can it extract skills from job descriptions?

Yes — enable extractSkills (default true). The actor parses the title + description into a skills[] array, plus detected seniority and minYearsExperience.

How fast is the actor?

With defaults (maxConcurrency: 5, full job details enabled), expect ~3–6 seconds per job end-to-end (browser load + Cloudflare wait + detail parse). Disable scrapeJobDetails for a 5× faster listing-only run.

What if Indeed changes its HTML?

Parsing reads embedded JSON (window.mosaic.providerData, window._initialData) rather than DOM selectors, which is far more resilient to HTML reshuffles. Where regex fallbacks exist, they are documented in src/parsers/.

Can I get the full HTML description?

Yes — set "includeDescriptionHtml": true to receive descriptionHtml alongside descriptionText.
