Google Jobs Scraper — Salary, Apply Links, Descriptions

Scrape Google Jobs — the index that merges LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter and company career sites — for any keyword and location: job title, company, location, source, posted date, job type, salary parsed into min / max / period, qualifications, benefits, full description and every "Apply on" link. Built for reliability: every Google page is retried on a fresh session, and one failed page never fails the run. $2.50 per 1,000 jobs on paid Apify plans (down to $2), no start fee.

Free tier — 5 results free on every run (free Apify plan)

On the free Apify plan, the first 5 results of every run are free, on every run you make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run. Every Google page this Actor reads is a paid request, so paid Apify plans get the lower tier prices below instead of free results.

Measured, not promised

Same search on 2026-10-17, "software engineer" in New York, NY, 30 jobs:

A second search ("registered nurse", Houston, TX) gave 30 jobs: 10 with a salary, 23 with a posted date, all in Texas. We are slower because we read more pages so that every job is in the place you asked for.

What does this Google Jobs scraper do?

Type job searches ("registered nurse", "python developer", "warehouse") and locations ("Houston", "Texas", "London"). The scraper reads Google Jobs and returns one clean row per job posting, with duplicates removed. Google shows 10 jobs per page, so each search runs several filter variants in parallel (full time, part time, remote, contract, posted today…) to collect up to 140 different jobs per search.

More than the leaders, for less (checked on the Store on 2026-10-28)

Compared with johnvc/Google-Jobs-Scraper

Read on the Store on 2026-10-23 (Google Jobs Scraper). Where it does better, this section says so.

• Built on the site's own data, not a resold scraper: no second Actor between you and the source.
• Free results on every run and a hard cost cap (maxTotalChargeUsd).
• Price: $3 per 1,000 here, $90 there.
• Same perk flags (health insurance, dental, paid time off), Google's share link and the number of jobs found, plus what it does not give: salary as numbers and as a yearly amount, every apply link, years of experience, skills and education.

Why use it

1. One source for every job board: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Built In and company career pages in a single feed — with each board's direct apply link.
2. Salary as numbers, more often: salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryPeriod (hour / year…). When Google shows no salary tag, the pay written in the posting itself ("Base Salary Range $137,100—$201,600") is read too; salarySource says which (google or posting_text).
3. Full content: description, qualifications, responsibilities and benefits.
4. Reliable: retries with fresh sessions, per-search error reports, partial pages never lost.
5. Filters: posted within (today, 3 days, week, month), job type, only jobs with a salary.
6. Cheaper than the alternatives: from $0.002 to $0.0025 per job on paid plans, no start fee.

On top of what Google shows, every row carries facts read from the description by plain rules (no AI, no extra cost): experienceYears (the lowest number of years asked), skills (from a list of about 90 tools), visaSponsorship (yes / no when the text says so) and education. They stay empty when the text does not say. extensions is the raw list of tags under the job, googleUrl reopens the job on Google, and rank, searchQuery, searchLocation, country and language say which search found it. (These last eleven values come from another real posting: "Registered Nurse (Rn), Primary Care" at The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical Center.)

Since 2026-10-26 every row also carries:

Field	What it holds
healthInsurance, dentalInsurance, paidTimeOff	true when Google's tags or the benefits section mention it, empty otherwise.
salaryYearlyMin, salaryYearlyMax	The salary as a yearly amount (hourly x 2,080, daily x 260, weekly x 52, monthly x 12), so hourly and yearly offers sort together.
shareLink	Google's own link to this one job.
applySourceCount	How many job boards the posting can be applied on.
jobsFoundInSearch	How many distinct jobs Google showed for the search, before your filters.

Facts on every posting (new 2026-10-28)

Read by rules, no extra cost, empty when the posting does not say it: workArrangement (REMOTE, HYBRID, ON_SITE) and officeDaysPerWeek, employmentType, jobCity, jobRegion, jobCountry (2-letter code), benefitsList, jobLanguage, contactEmails (written in the posting), isAgency.

New filters, applied before you pay: workArrangements, countries, excludeTitleKeywords, excludeCompanies, excludeAgencies, and onlyNewJobs (only postings this same search has not delivered before; never charged twice). Paste Google Jobs links in startUrls instead of typing queries.

How much does it cost?

Event	Price
Job posting, paid Apify plans	$0.0025 ($2.50 per 1,000), down to $0.002 on the largest plans
Job posting, free Apify plan	$0.003
Start fee	none

On the free Apify plan, up to 5 jobs of every run are free (at most half of the run). Searches Google cannot answer are reported in the run summary and never charged. Paid Apify plans get lower tier prices.

Tips and limits

• Google Jobs holds a few hundred postings per search at most: for full coverage, split by city or by more specific titles.
• Always give a location. With a country alone, Google mostly returns United States jobs. For another country, set the location, the country and the matching googleDomain.
• Countries. Checked on 6 October 2026 with one large city per country and the local Google domain. Local jobs came back in 31 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya. In Belgium, Austria, Denmark and Thailand the search must be written in the local language ("emploi", "stellenangebote", "job", "งาน") with the matching language. No job came back in 9, in English or in the local language: Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Portugal, South Korea. Other countries were not checked.
• When Google answers with no job at all, the run says so in plain words ("Google Jobs may not exist in this country") and charges nothing.
• Google sometimes mixes in jobs from other places; strictLocation (on by default) removes them.
• postedAt is computed from Google's "3 days ago" label (day precision).
• Salary is only present when the employer or the board publishes it.
