What is ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper?

ZipRecruiter is a US job marketplace where employers post jobs and candidates apply, often with "1-Click Apply". ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper turns ZipRecruiter search results into a structured dataset, so you can collect thousands of jobs without copying them by hand. It's a simple ZipRecruiter API alternative: you don't need a ZipRecruiter account, an API key or any code.

Type a job title and a location, press Start, and download the jobs as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

• 🔎 Search by keyword and location. City and state, ZIP code, state, the whole United States, or Remote for remote jobs nationwide.
• 🧰 All of ZipRecruiter's filters. Job type, date posted, remote/hybrid/on-site, experience level, minimum and maximum salary, distance, and 1-Click Apply only.
• 🔗 Paste URLs. ZipRecruiter search URLs (filters are kept), category pages like /Jobs/Nurse/-in-Chicago,IL, and single job URLs.
• 💵 Salary data on almost every job. Pay range, pay period, annual equivalent, and a flag that tells you whether the employer posted the pay or ZipRecruiter estimated it.
• 📄 Optional full job details. Turn on includeDetails to add the full description, industry, occupational category, expiry date, company profile and rating, and the employer's own apply link.
• 🧹 No duplicates. ZipRecruiter repeats some jobs across result pages; the scraper saves each job once per run.
• 📅 Scheduling and monitoring. Run daily or weekly with Apify Schedules and use postedWithin to collect only new jobs.
• 🔌 API and integrations. Use the Apify API, or send jobs to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack, or webhooks with Apify integrations.

How much does it cost to scrape ZipRecruiter?

ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for each job saved, and for job details only when you turn them on. Compute and proxy costs are included in these prices; there's nothing else to pay.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Job saved (job-scraped)	$2.49 / 1,000	$2.39 / 1,000	$2.29 / 1,000	$2.19 / 1,000
Job details added (job-details)	$3.99 / 1,000	$3.89 / 1,000	$3.79 / 1,000	$3.69 / 1,000

For example, on the Free plan 1,000 jobs from search results cost $2.49, and 1,000 jobs with full details cost $6.48 ($2.49 + $3.99). The details event is charged only for jobs whose job page was read; if a job page can't be loaded, that job is saved with search data and no details charge. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit you can use to try the scraper. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the scraper stops when it reaches it.

Download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the Output tab or through the API.

Use the ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper API

Start a run and read the results with the Apify API client for Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("parsebird/ziprecruiter-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searches": ["registered nurse"],
    "location": "Houston, TX",
    "jobType": "full_time",
    "maxItems": 100,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["title"], "|", job["company"], "|", job["salaryText"])

Or with the Apify API client for JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/ziprecruiter-jobs-scraper').call({
    searches: ['registered nurse'],
    location: 'Houston, TX',
    jobType: 'full_time',
    maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((job) => console.log(job.title, '|', job.company, '|', job.salaryText));

See the API tab for the HTTP endpoints, and the Apify API docs for scheduling runs and fetching datasets.

Use cases

• Job market research. Track how many jobs are posted for a role in each city, and how pay ranges compare.
• Salary benchmarking. Collect posted and estimated pay ranges by job title, location, and experience level.
• Recruiting and lead generation. Find companies that are hiring for a role in your area, with their websites and company size.
• Job boards and aggregators. Feed fresh ZipRecruiter jobs into your own job site or newsletter on a schedule.
• Remote work tracking. Monitor remote and hybrid jobs for a skill across the US.

How it works

1. For each keyword, the scraper opens ZipRecruiter's search with your location and filters, page by page (20 jobs per page).
2. It reads the job data ZipRecruiter puts in each results page, skips jobs it has already saved, and stops at your maxItems, maxPages, or the end of the results.
3. With includeDetails on, it also opens each job page for the description, company profile, and the employer's apply link.
4. Every job is saved to the dataset as soon as its page is done, so you can watch results arrive.

FAQ

Do I need a ZipRecruiter account or API key? No. The scraper collects public job listings that anyone can see on ZipRecruiter without logging in.

How many jobs can I get per search? ZipRecruiter shows about 25 pages (roughly 500 jobs) for one search. To collect more, split it into several searches by city, job type, date posted, or salary range. Results are combined and duplicates are skipped.

What does salaryIsEstimated mean? When an employer doesn't post pay, ZipRecruiter shows its own estimate. salaryIsEstimated is false when the employer posted the pay and true for ZipRecruiter's estimate. Salaries are shown as entered, so an employer can occasionally post an hourly rate as yearly pay.

Can I sort jobs by date? ZipRecruiter no longer offers sorting; results come in ZipRecruiter's relevance order. Use postedWithin (for example today or 3days) to get only recent jobs. You can then sort the dataset by postedDate.

Is there an internship filter? ZipRecruiter has no internship job type. Add "intern" or "internship" to your search keyword instead.

Should I turn on includeDetails? Turn it on if you need the full description, industry, expiry date, company profile, or the employer's own apply link. It costs an extra event per job and runs slower, because every job page is opened separately. Search data alone already includes salary, benefits, location, job type, and a short description.

How long does a run take? ZipRecruiter limits automated traffic, so requests go through an unblocking proxy, which takes several seconds each. A results page brings 20 jobs at once, so search-only runs are much faster than runs with details, where every job is an extra request.

Does it work outside the US? The scraper works with jobs on ziprecruiter.com, which lists US jobs and some Canadian ones. ZipRecruiter's UK site (ziprecruiter.co.uk) isn't supported.

Something isn't working. What should I do? Open an issue in the Issues tab with your run link, and we'll take a look.

Is it legal to scrape ZipRecruiter?

ZipRecruiter Jobs Scraper collects only public job listings that are visible without logging in. It doesn't collect personal data of job seekers. Job listings may still contain contact details of recruiters, so make sure your use complies with applicable laws such as GDPR and with ZipRecruiter's terms. If you're unsure, consult a lawyer.
