💼 Indeed Job Scraper — Listings, Salaries, Employers & Locations

Extract structured job postings from Indeed at scale — title, company, location, posted date, salary range, full job description, apply URL, and remote-status flag. Built as a cheaper, no-contract alternative to LinkedIn Talent Insights ($8-30K/yr), Hiretual, SeekOut, and ZipRecruiter Enterprise for recruiting analytics, market sizing, and salary-benchmarking workflows.

Most teams pick this actor instead of scraping Indeed in-house because Indeed's anti-bot stack changes every quarter — the maintenance is real. This actor absorbs that, ships clean JSON, and bills $0.003/listing flat. A weekly 5,000-listing labor-market sweep is ~$15 versus $700+/month for the equivalent seat on LinkedIn Talent Insights.

What You Get Per Listing

• title, company, company_url, location, country
• salary_min, salary_max, salary_period (year / month / hour), salary_currency
• posted_date, apply_url, indeed_url, job_id
• description (full HTML stripped to plain text)
• is_remote, is_hybrid, job_type (full-time / contract / part-time / temporary)
• extracted_skills — keyword list parsed from the description
• seniority — junior / mid / senior / lead / principal classifier

Use Cases

• Talent-acquisition — track competitor hiring pace by role + region weekly
• Salary benchmarking — aggregate $/hr or $/yr by title + city for compensation studies
• Market sizing — count active openings for "data engineer" in EMEA for a TAM model
• Sales (HR-tech / staffing) — surface companies hiring 5+ engineers as inbound triggers
• Workforce / policy research — labor-market dashboards by NAICS or MSA
• Founder market signal — detect hiring surges in target ICP industries

Quick Start (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/indeed-job-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keyword": "machine learning engineer",
    "location": "remote",
    "country": "us",
    "max_results": 500
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["company"], item["title"], item.get("salary_max"))

Pricing — Pay Per Listing

• Actor start: $0.005
• Listing: $0.003

A 1,000-listing market scan = $3.005. A daily 200-listing tracker for one role/region = $0.605/day. No monthly minimum.

FAQ

Q: How fresh are listings? A: Live fetch per run — newly posted jobs appear within minutes of going live on Indeed.

Q: Country coverage? A: All Indeed locales — US, UK, CA, AU, DE, FR, IN, JP, BR, MX and ~40 more. Pass country as ISO-2.

Q: Is salary always available? A: Only when Indeed publishes it (typically ~30-40% of US listings). When absent, the field is null rather than estimated.

Q: Anti-bot stability? A: Indeed rotates its bot defenses regularly; the actor's proxy + fingerprint layer is maintained alongside those changes. Bugs are fixed within 24h.

Q: Legal status? A: We fetch public job listings the same way a logged-out browser does. Output is metadata about public job postings.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
