Indeed Jobs Scraper

Indeed Jobs Scraper

Scrape Indeed job listings from any search, company page, or direct URL, up to a million per run. Each listing returns the job title, company, location, salary, description, and job type. No API key or browser setup. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Indeed's job board holds millions of listings, but manually copying them or building a custom scraper takes hours. This Actor reads the public job feeds directly, letting you filter by keyword, location, date posted, job type, experience level, and salary before a single record lands in your dataset. You get clean, structured results without managing proxies or headless browsers.

What it does

This Actor collects Indeed job listings by search query, location, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row with title, company, location, salary, and description.

• 🔍 Search filters: job title, location, country, job type, date posted, remote, salary, experience level, and sort order.
• 🌐 Multi-country support: scrape Indeed domains for the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, India, Singapore, Netherlands, Ireland, and New Zealand.
• 📅 Date filtering: limit results to jobs posted in the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days.
• 💰 Salary filter: set a minimum annual salary threshold from $30k to $130k+.
• 🔗 Direct URL input: paste any Indeed search or company jobs URL to scrape exactly that page.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your search filters are not too restrictive. Try removing the salary, experience level, or date posted filter and run again. Also verify the location spelling matches Indeed's format.

The Actor is returning fewer results than I expected.

Indeed sometimes caps the number of pages it shows for a search. Try narrowing your search with more specific keywords or a smaller location radius to get more complete results within the visible range.

I'm getting an error about the Start URL.

Make sure the URL is a valid Indeed search or company jobs page and that it starts with the correct country domain, such as indeed.com or indeed.ca. Remove any unnecessary URL parameters.

The run is taking a long time.

Large maxItems values and broad searches will take longer. Reduce the maxItems or add more filters to speed up the run. The Actor processes listings sequentially to avoid rate limiting.

Some job descriptions are missing or truncated.

Indeed occasionally changes its page layout. If you notice missing fields, try re-running the Actor. If the issue persists, report it through Apify support so the parser can be updated.
