Indeed Jobs Scraper

💼 What is Indeed Jobs Scraper?

Indeed Jobs Scraper extracts job postings from Indeed in 62 countries: title, full description, salary, location with GPS, job type, remote type, experience level and the employer's profile (website, size, revenue, sector, rating, reviews), for any keyword, place or search URL. It works as an Indeed API alternative: run it on a schedule, call it from your code, or plug it into Make, Zapier or n8n.

Type a keyword (software engineer) and a location, or paste any Indeed search URL, click Start, and download the jobs in JSON, CSV or Excel. Pick several countries, keywords and locations in one run, filter on the contract type, remote work, level, salary and date, or tick Only new jobs to monitor a market. No login, nothing to set up.

📋 What data can you extract from Indeed?

One item per job, 154 fields:

Category	What you get
🏷️ Job	title, Indeed link, job key — Senior Software Engineer
🏢 Company	name, Indeed company page, website, logo, sector, size (as text and as a number range), staffing agency or not, revenue, founding year, CEO, headquarters, parent group, the sections of its company page, similar companies, what it pays on average — HubSpot
⭐ Reviews	Indeed rating and review count, ratings by theme (pay, culture, management…), CEO approval, work wellbeing, interview difficulty and length — 3.9 from 20,438 reviews
📍 Location	city, state, county, postal code, street address, country, latitude and longitude — Jersey City, NJ 07310
💰 Salary	minimum, maximum, period (hour, month, year…), the same pay per year, currency and the text Indeed shows, in the language of the country's site — $137,750 - $195,000 a year
🧭 Work type	full-time, part-time, contract…, remote / hybrid / on-site, experience level — hybrid
📝 Description	full text, HTML or Markdown of the job, a number that is the same for the same text, requirements, Indeed tags (skills, benefits, education, licences)
🕒 Dates	when the employer published the job, when it appeared on Indeed, expiry — what the date filters read
🔗 Apply	employer or ATS page, the recruiting software behind it, Indeed Apply or not, openings, urgent and high-volume hiring, employer response rate
📞 Contacts (option)	e-mails and phone numbers the employer wrote in the job text
🎯 Lead score (free)	leadScore (0-100) and leadSignals: a free rule-based score of how actively the company is hiring and how reachable it is — 70
🏭 Company rows (option)	one row per employer: profile, open jobs now, new jobs in 24 hours / 7 days / 30 days, change since the previous run

Every field, with an example, is listed in the Output section below.

✅ Why use Indeed Jobs Scraper?

• 🌍 62 Indeed countries in one run: several countries × several keywords × several locations, each search with its own cap.
• 🎯 Filters applied by Indeed: job type, remote work, experience level, salary, date, language, radius — fewer pages to read, nothing to pay for the jobs left out.
• 🧩 Rich rows: the full description, salary, GPS location and the employer's profile and ratings in every job.
• 🔁 Nothing twice: a job found by several searches is saved — and charged — once.
• 🔔 Monitoring built in: tick Only new jobs, schedule the Actor, and each run returns (and charges) only what it has never delivered before.
• 🔌 API, scheduling, monitoring, integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets…), proxy rotation and JSON/CSV/Excel export via the Apify platform.

🚀 How to scrape Indeed

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open Indeed Jobs Scraper, type a Search keyword (e.g. software engineer) and a Location (e.g. New York, NY), and pick the Country.
3. Or paste your own Indeed URLs into Start URLs: any search results page (keyword, place, radius, date, sort and job-type filters are kept) or single job pages; or give Job keys.
4. Set Max jobs (100 by default, 0 = no limit) — and Max jobs per search when you run several searches — then click Start.
5. Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

This Actor uses pay per event pricing: a price per 1,000 jobs saved plus a small fee per run start — the amounts are on the Pricing tab of this page. Filters Indeed does not offer are applied by the Actor on every job it reads: a job you keep costs its normal price, a job a filter drops costs a smaller filter fee (filter-check) — filtering never costs more than taking everything. Filters applied by Indeed itself (the Job filters section of the form) cost nothing for the jobs left out. Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included in the price.

Two extra-charge options are off by default and add their own events to the Pricing tab: Contacts (per job that has an e-mail or a phone in its text) and Company summary (per extra company row). Leave them unticked and you pay only for the jobs.

{
    "searchQueries": ["nurse", "teacher"],
    "countries": ["GB", "IE"],
    "jobTypes": ["fulltime"],
    "minSalary": 60000,

    ],
    "maxItems": 500
}

Field	Notes
query, searchQueries	Keyword as typed on Indeed (software engineer, title:(nurse)); searchQueries adds more keywords (one search each). Empty = every job of the location. Ignored when startUrls is set.
location, locations	City, state, region or postal code (New York, NY, Paris); locations adds more places. Every keyword is searched in every location (max 500 searches per run). Empty = the whole country.
country, countries	The Indeed country site to search (US, GB, FR, DE… 62 countries); countries lists more: with country left on US, only the countries of the list are searched (put US in the list to include it), another country is added to them. Every keyword × location is searched in each (max 500 searches per run). With no keyword, location, URL, job key or company, the default country alone runs a 20-job example; any other country, or countries filled (for the whole US, put US in countries), reads every job of the country up to maxItems (onlyNew allowed).
startUrls	Indeed URLs of any country: search results pages (keyword, place, radius, age, sort and job-type filters kept; pagination automatic), company job pages (https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hubspot/jobs: all the open jobs of that employer, or only those of its own keyword and place boxes: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Hubspot/jobs?q=engineer&l=Boston) or single job pages (https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=4f9a1c2b3d4e5f60).
jobKeys	Job keys to read directly (4f9a1c2b3d4e5f60), on top of the keyword and location searches (empty them to read only these jobs): expired jobs are returned too, flagged as expired. Up to 10,000. The datePosted, jobTypes, remoteType, experienceLevels, minSalary / maxSalary, jobLanguage, excludeStaffingAgencies, excludeJobTypes, excludeRemoteTypes, exactTitles, occupations, requiredAttributes and excludeAttributes filters are checked on each job, also for a single job link of startUrls: a job that does not show the criterion is dropped and counted as filtered out (the pay is compared per year, so a pay by the day or the hour does not match); the radius and the location of a search cannot be read on a job and are not applied. A job link is read on the site of the link, a bare key on the Country site — on the first of countries when Country is left on United States and that list is filled: give the country of the job to get its pay.
companies	All the open jobs of these employers: company names (Starbucks), website domains (starbucks.com) or employer keys (afd1466db269b253). Each entry is matched to the exact Indeed employer, never to a look-alike: a name with no exact match is skipped, and the log names the employers Indeed lists under that name (give the exact name, or paste the Indeed company page in Start URLs). Combined with the keywords and locations when they are filled; ignored when Start URLs are set.
maxItems, maxItemsPerQuery	Stop after this many jobs for the whole run, and for each search (0 = unlimited).
splitLargeSearches	Indeed shows at most 1,000 jobs per search. When a search has more, the Actor counts it by publication date (a counter call, free), cuts it into date slices and reads each one: nearly all of a large search (99.9 % measured on searches of 2,500 to 13,700 jobs) instead of the first 1,000. The log and the COVERAGE record of the key-value store give announced against collected jobs per search; a slice of one hour still above 1,000 jobs is read up to 1,000 and reported. Off = the first 1,000 only.
descriptionFormat	Which forms of the description to save: text_html, all (text, HTML and Markdown), text, html, markdown, none.
extractContacts, companySummary	Extra-charge options, both off by default (the events are on the Pricing tab). Contacts: the e-mail addresses and phone numbers the employer wrote in the job text are added to each job that has one, and only those jobs are charged (on 700 jobs read in the US, France and Germany, 19 % had an e-mail and 8 % a phone number). Company summary: one extra row per employer of the run, not counted in Max jobs and charged per row.
datePosted	Only jobs added to Indeed in this period: 24h, 3d, 7d, 14d, 30d, any.
jobTypes	Keep jobs of ANY of these types: fulltime, parttime, contract, temporary, internship, permanent, fixedterm. Outside the USA the fixed-term contract Indeed shows as « Contract » (« CDD », « Befristeter Vertrag »…) is fixedterm: contract is the contractor, mostly in the USA, Canada and Australia.
remoteType	Work arrangement as tagged by Indeed: any, remote, hybrid, onsite.
experienceLevels	Keep jobs of ANY of these levels: entry, mid, senior.
industries	Sectors of the employer: a name (Healthcare) or an Indeed sector key (22VKN): names or keys in one run, not both.
excludeStaffingAgencies	Leaves out the jobs of staffing agencies and recruiting firms (Indeed's own filter, completed by the Is staffing agency column): you get the jobs posted by the employers themselves. Works with industries (both must match). Free, like the other job filters.
excludeJobTypes	Indeed leaves out the jobs that carry ANY of these job types: fulltime, parttime, contract, temporary, internship, permanent, fixedterm (same values as jobTypes, and a value cannot be in both lists).
excludeRemoteTypes	Indeed leaves out the jobs tagged with ANY of these work arrangements: remote, hybrid, onsite (a value cannot be in both this list and remoteType).
exactTitles	Keep only the jobs whose title, as Indeed standardizes it, is one of these (registered nurse). It is the normalizedTitle column: run a small search first and copy the values you want. A title Indeed does not use gives 0 jobs.
occupations	Keep only the jobs in these Indeed occupations, by key (EG6MP): the key of each entry of the Occupations column.
requiredAttributes, excludeAttributes	Indeed tags by key (EY33Q = Health insurance), the key of each entry of the Attributes column: with requiredAttributes a job must carry all of them, with excludeAttributes a job with any of them is left out. Labels are not accepted, only keys. Job type, work arrangement and experience level have their own fields.
minSalary, maxSalary	Yearly pay bounds in the country's currency, Indeed's estimates included (0 = none).
radius	Distance around the location (25; 0 = the exact place).
radiusUnit	Unit of the radius: miles or km.
jobLanguage	Only jobs written in this language: two letters (en, fr, de).
sortBy	relevance or date (newest first).
postedAfter, postedBefore	Date the job was added to Indeed: 2026-09-01 (dates are read in UTC), or a period before now (7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 24 hours).
excludeKeywords, excludeCompanies	Drop the jobs whose title (or the cleaned-up title Indeed shows, displayTitle) contains one of these words, or whose company name as shown (companyName, its Indeed company page name companyProfileName, or its parent group parentCompanyName) does (case and accents ignored).
onlyWithSalary	Drop the jobs that show no pay.
applyMethod	any, easyApply (Indeed Apply only) or external (the employer's or ATS page).
minCompanyRating	Drop the jobs of employers rated below this (out of 5, 4); unrated employers are dropped too.
dedupeByDescription	When an employer posts the same job in many places, you get one row. Two jobs are the same when they come from the same employer and carry the same description (the Description hash column); the title and the place are not compared. The first one read in the run is kept: pages are read in parallel, so which copy stays is not guaranteed. A job with no description hash is always kept, and only the jobs of the run are compared (not the jobs of an earlier run). A copy that is left out is not saved and does not count in the maximum number of jobs, like any other filtered-out job; with Only new jobs it is remembered, so the next run does not read it again. Up to 100,000 different descriptions are compared per run: beyond that the log says so and the jobs read after that are no longer compared.
onlyNew, stateKey, resetState	Monitoring: only the jobs never delivered under this memory key (nurses-uk); resetState forgets the memory.
trackClosedJobs	Needs onlyNew. Besides the new jobs, you also get the jobs an earlier run under the same memory key delivered that Indeed has closed since, one row each, once, with changeStatus closed (the new jobs carry new). Free option: a closed job is a job row, counted in maxItems and charged like any job; open jobs are not written again.
Advanced	proxyConfiguration (Apify proxy by default, included in the price; the residential proxy is not available), maxConcurrency (lowered by itself to what the memory of the run holds: 5 at the default 512 MB, 17 at 1 GB), maxRequestsPerMinute, minRequestIntervalMs, maxRequestRetries, debugLog.

💡 Tips

How to get more results

Indeed shows at most 1,000 jobs per search (10 pages of 100). With Get past the 1,000-job limit on (the default) the Actor goes further by itself: it counts the search by publication date, cuts it into slices that each fit in Indeed's window, reads them newest first and saves a job found twice once — set maxItems to 0 for everything. The COVERAGE record of the run's key-value store says, per search, how many jobs Indeed announces and how many were collected. A search read with a cap of 1,000 or less is not cut. You can still add keywords, locations, a narrower radius or the job-type filters, one search each.

To follow one employer, give its name in companies (or paste its Indeed company page in Start URLs): the Actor finds the exact Indeed employer and reads all its open jobs, with the same slicing.

How to reduce costs

The price is per job, so the levers are maxItems, maxItemsPerQuery, the filters of the Job filters section (Indeed applies them: the jobs left out are not read and cost nothing) and onlyNew for recurring runs (you never pay twice for the same job). Choose descriptionFormat none for a list without the descriptions: the runs are lighter, the price per job is the same.

Several searches in one run

Fill searchQueries, locations and / or countries: the Actor runs one search per country × keyword × location (3 keywords × 4 cities × 2 countries = 24 searches, up to 500 per run). The single query, location and country fields still work and are added to the lists. A job found by several searches is saved — and charged — once. Set maxItemsPerQuery to give every search its own cap: without it the first searches can use up the whole maxItems budget. You can also paste several search URLs into startUrls: each one is a search of its own, with the same cap.

Monitoring: only the new jobs

Tick Only new jobs (onlyNew) and schedule the Actor. The first run returns everything; each later run skips the jobs already delivered: they are not saved and not charged. The memory lives in a named key-value store of your account (indeed-jobs-scraper-seen, up to 150,000 jobs per key) and is only updated with jobs that really reached the dataset, so a failed run never hides anything. Give each schedule its own stateKey (two schedules sharing a key would hide each other's jobs), and tick resetState once to start over. Searches are then read newest first, and a search stops once it meets 500 jobs in a row you already have. A job that does not pass a time-dependent filter yet (a relative "posted before" date) is checked again on the next run.

Closed jobs. Also tick Track closed jobs (trackClosedJobs) and each run starts with the jobs it delivered before that Indeed has taken down since: one row each, written once, with changeStatus closed and isExpired true, then the new jobs with changeStatus new. Open jobs are not written again (nothing changed for them), so a closed job is the only thing a later run adds about an old job. There is no extra charge: a closed job is a job row, charged at the job price and counted in Max jobs; when the maximum is reached first, the closed jobs left out come at the next run. Up to 50,000 delivered jobs are checked per run, the most recent first. A job Indeed no longer knows at all gets no row. Needs Only new jobs.

Filter by publication date

datePosted keeps the jobs added to Indeed in the last 24 hours, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days. postedAfter and postedBefore take a date (2026-09-01, the whole day is included, in UTC) or a period before now (7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month; via the API also 24 hours or a full ISO date-time). They read the date the job appeared on Indeed (dateOnIndeed); Indeed itself cuts the pages, and the Actor keeps the exact bounds. A job without a date is dropped as soon as a date bound is set. Filtered-out jobs are not saved and do not count in maxItems (each job the Actor itself drops costs the filter fee, see Pricing); the run summary tells how many were filtered. With postedAfter, searches are read newest first and stop at the first page that is entirely too old.

🔌 Integrations and API

Call the Actor via the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python clients, or connect it with integrations and webhooks (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable…). The dataset can be fetched as JSON or CSV from any tool.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can find and run this Actor through the Apify MCP server, billed to their Apify account like any run. It returns one item per Indeed job. Actor id: nice_dev/indeed-jobs-scraper; MCP server with this Actor only: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nice_dev/indeed-jobs-scraper.

Smallest input, for a cheap first call:

{
    "query": "software engineer",
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "maxItems": 10
}

Key output fields: title, companyName, location, salaryText, jobTypes, remoteType, dateOnIndeed and url.

Cost: the price per 1,000 jobs plus the run-start fee, see the pricing section above. Cap each call with maxItems and, through the API, with the run option maxTotalChargeUsd.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Indeed?

The Actor only reads the job postings Indeed shows publicly to any anonymous visitor. It logs in to nothing. Results can contain personal data (a recruiter's name or e-mail written in a job text), which is protected by GDPR: do not store it without a legitimate reason. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Indeed's Terms of Use and applicable law. This Actor is not affiliated with Indeed.

Does it need a login or a proxy?

No login. The proxy is included in the price: leave the default setting (the residential proxy is not available). A request Indeed turns away is retried at once on a new proxy session, up to 10 times on top of the retries (without a proxy, after a pause of 5 seconds, doubled at each retry up to 60 seconds).

Is the data safe to open in Excel or to show on a web page?

Titles and descriptions are the employers' own words, copied as they are. A text can begin with -, +, = or @ (a phone number, a title such as -20% today): Excel and Google Sheets may read such a cell of a CSV file as a formula or as a number. The Actor leaves the text as it is, so that the JSON and the API give the real value: when you open a CSV, import these columns as text. Every URL field holds an http(s) URL or null. descriptionHtml is the employer's own HTML, which the Actor does not sanitize: on a web page, escape every field like any text written by a stranger.

Known limitations

• Indeed shows at most 1,000 jobs per search; the date slices recover nearly all of a large search (99.9 % measured on 3 searches of 2,500 to 13,700 jobs), not all of it (jobs added while the run goes on can fall between two slices). A slice of one hour above 1,000 jobs is read up to 1,000 and reported in COVERAGE. With sortBy relevance, a split search is read newest first.
• A company name needs an exact match with an Indeed employer: « Amazon » has no employer of that exact name (give Amazon.com, or paste the company page). A run whose companies match none of them fails with the list of closest names.
• E-mails and phones are what the employer wrote in the text: a phone number is kept only when the text says it is a phone number.
• The labels (tags, sectors, pay text) are in the language of the country's site, as on Indeed (French on the French site); the pay of a job read by key is only given on the site of the job's own country, so give the country of the keys you read.
• Salaries filtered by minSalary / maxSalary include the ones Indeed estimates; salarySource tells which are estimates.
• industries given as names are matched on the employer's sector label, after the page is read; Indeed sector keys are filtered by Indeed.
• onlyNew remembers job keys, not their content: a job whose text changed is not returned again.
• Two runs sharing the same stateKey at the same time may both return the same new job.

A run that reaches its timeout stops itself about 45 seconds before it: no new page is asked, what it read is saved and, with onlyNew, remembered, and the run ends Succeeded with "Stopped before the run's timeout". Resurrect it to go on from there, or give the next run a longer timeout (Run options).

A run the platform stops without warning (out of memory)

• Resurrect it: it goes on from where it stood at most a minute before the stop. What it had read since is read again, and the jobs already saved are skipped: none is delivered or charged twice, and maxItems still counts them.
• With onlyNew, the memory is saved after each write (at most once every 2 seconds): resurrect the stopped run and the jobs it had saved meanwhile join the memory; leave it stopped for good, and the next run may return the jobs of its last 2 seconds once more.

Something doesn't work?

The last line of the log counts the jobs saved and filtered out, and the requests that failed after every retry. Those requests are listed, with the reason, in the FAILED_REQUESTS record of the run's key-value store. A run that saved nothing and had failed requests fails, and its last message gives the cause.

If Indeed changes its pages, you are told instead of paying for blank rows. A results page that counts jobs but gives none the Actor can read is an error (listed in FAILED_REQUESTS), never a quiet "No jobs found". If the first 20 jobs read all lack their title, date, company name or location, the run saves nothing more, stops and fails, and its last message names the missing field: at most those first jobs are charged. A job that postedAfter / postedBefore drops because it has no date at all counts among those 20. A run of fewer jobs (a scheduled onlyNew run that finds a few new ones, a small Max jobs) is checked at its end, from 5 jobs: its jobs are already saved, and the run fails with the missing field instead of ending green.
