What does Instahyre Jobs Scraper do?

Instahyre is an AI-driven hiring platform focused on the Indian tech market, listing thousands of software, data, product, design, and business roles at companies from early-stage startups to Google, Amazon, and Accenture. Instahyre has no public jobs API — this Instahyre scraper is the alternative. It extracts:

• 💼 Job listings — title, candidate-facing title, skill tags, published locations, and a remote flag, from the live Instahyre feed.
• 🏢 Hiring company — name, ID, logo, tagline, founding year, employee-count bucket, and Instahyre's short company blurb.
• 📄 Full job details — description, minimum and maximum years of experience, job category, and job functions, when includeDetails is on.
• 📧 Employer contact email — an opt-in add-on that checks the hiring company's own website for a published contact address (never sourced from Instahyre, and billed only when one is found).
• 🔁 Change monitoring — run on a schedule and get only the roles that are new, updated, or confirmed removed since the last run.
• 🎯 Precise filtering — combine job function, job type, company size, skills, free-text keywords, location, and an exclude list.

Common uses: recruitment-market research on Indian tech hiring, sourcing pipelines for staffing agencies, competitor hiring monitoring, salary and skills-demand analysis, and building job datasets for an LLM.

Use cases

• Recruitment-market research — track which skills, functions, and cities are hiring hardest across the Indian tech market.
• Agency sourcing — build a filtered pipeline of live roles by function, company size, and location, refreshed daily.
• Competitor hiring intelligence — watch a company allowlist and see every role it opens or closes.
• Salary and skills-demand analysis — combine experience ranges, skills, and company size for compensation benchmarking.
• Lead generation — with enrichEmails, attach a hiring-company contact email to each role.
• LLM training data — assemble a structured corpus of job descriptions and requirements.

How it works

1. Resolve filters — job-function slugs are resolved to IDs against Instahyre's live catalog; job type, company size, skills, and location are pushed to the source feed where supported.
2. Paginate the feed — the public job feed is read page by page (up to 35 jobs per page) until maxItems matches are collected or maxPages is reached.
3. Local filtering — keywords, keywordMatch, skillMatch: all, remoteOnly, the company allowlist, and excludeKeywords are applied to each row.
4. Monitoring diff — in changes mode each role is compared against the stored state for its stateName and tagged new, updated, unchanged, or removed.
5. Detail — for emitted rows, includeDetails fetches the public job page for the description, experience range, category, and functions.
6. Email — enrichEmails reads the hiring company's own website (home, contact, about pages) for a public contact address.
7. Rows stream to the dataset and stop at maxItems.

How much does it cost to scrape Instahyre?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing, tiered by your Apify plan.

Event	What it is	Free / 1,000	Gold / 1,000
job-listing	Each job row saved	$0.99	$0.69
job-detail	Each public job page fetched (includeDetails)	$0.70	$0.70
employer-email	Each row where an email was found (enrichEmails)	$29.00	$19.00

A small platform Actor start fee also applies per run. maxItems is the exact number of job-listing rows you are billed for — set it to control spend. Scraping 1,000 listing-only jobs on the Free plan costs about $0.99; adding full descriptions makes it about $1.69. Apify's monthly free platform usage covers small runs.

FAQ

Do I need an Instahyre account or API key? No. The Instahyre Jobs Scraper reads Instahyre's public job feed and public job pages only. Instahyre has no official jobs API — this actor is the alternative.

How current is the data? Live. Each run reads Instahyre at that moment. Use Apify's scheduler with monitorMode: "changes" to keep a new-jobs feed.

How do I build a "new jobs only" feed? Set monitorMode: "changes", give the search a unique stateName, and schedule it. The first run records a baseline (set emitBaseline: false to keep it silent); later runs return only new, updated, and removed roles.

Why did a monitor report roles as new that I had seen before? Monitoring only tracks what it scans. If your filter matches thousands of roles but maxPages only covers a few hundred, the feed order shifts between runs. Raise maxPages so a run covers your whole filtered set.

Does enrichEmails get emails from Instahyre? No. It independently visits the hiring company's own website and extracts a public contact email if one is published there. It is not found for every company, and you are billed only on rows where an email is actually found.

What counts as a billed row? Every row saved to the dataset counts as one job-listing event, including unchanged and removed monitoring rows. job-detail and employer-email are billed only when those enrichments run and succeed.

A run was slower than usual or some detail pages came back empty — why? Instahyre's edge occasionally rate-limits automated traffic. The scraper retries automatically; rows whose detail page could not be loaded are still returned from the feed with detailStatus: "failed".

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run link — we respond quickly.

Is it legal to scrape Instahyre?

Scraping publicly available pages is legal in most jurisdictions, and this actor only accesses content any logged-out visitor can see. It does not collect candidate profiles, private data, or bypass any login. You are responsible for how you use the data — respect Instahyre's Terms of Use, do not use personal data (such as any contact email) in violation of applicable law, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure. See Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.
