Google Jobs Scraper API: Listings, Salaries & Apply Links

Get Google Jobs listings for any job search: job title, company, location, salary (with parsed minimum, maximum, period and currency), job type, posting date, the job board it comes from and the apply link, up to 200 jobs per search, in 20 countries.

It calls a commercial search data API instead of driving a browser: no proxies, no CAPTCHAs, no Google account, results in under a minute. You pay for jobs returned, plus $0.001 to start each run and $0.0016 per page of results with jobs. Searches with no job, duplicates and input mistakes are free (apart from the $0.001 start fee per run).

Typical uses

• Job market and salary research: who is hiring for a role in a city, at which pay, on which job boards.
• Recruiting and staffing leads: companies hiring right now for the roles you place, with the link to each job.
• Job board and newsletter feeds: fresh jobs for a niche (remote, nursing, data...) every day; turn on Only new jobs to get and pay for each job once.
• Competitor hiring watch: search a company name to follow the roles it opens.
• Automations and AI agents: feed n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets or an MCP client with structured JSON.

What you get

One row per job listing:

Field	Description
query, position	Your search and the job's position in Google Jobs
jobId	Google Jobs ID of the listing, stable across runs (use it to detect new jobs)
title, company, location	Job title, hiring company, location as shown by Google
employmentType	Full-time, Part-time, Contractor, Internship... (in the search language)
salary	Pay as Google shows it, e.g. "135K–175K a year" (missing on many listings)
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryPeriod, salaryCurrency	The same pay as numbers: 135000, 175000, year, USD. Period is hour, day, week, month or year; the currency is the symbol shown, else the country's currency
postedAt, postedAgo	Posting date (UTC, computed from Google's "2 days ago") and the text itself
via, applyUrl, applyDomain	Job board or career site (LinkedIn, Indeed, company site...), link to the job there, its domain
searchCountry, languageCode, observedAt	Market, language and when the data was fetched (UTC)

Missing values are always null, never guessed.

Input

{
  "queries": ["data engineer in Austin, TX", "registered nurse in Denver", "remote python developer"],
  "country": "US",
  "maxJobsPerQuery": 50
}

• queries: what you would type in Google Jobs, up to 1,000 per run. Put the city in the search ("nurse in Austin, TX"): Google Jobs then returns jobs around that city. Without a city you get jobs from the whole country.
• country: US, GB, CA, AU, IE, IN, DE, AT, CH, FR, BE, ES, MX, IT, NL, PT, BR, PL, SE, JP. languageCode (optional) defaults to the country's main language.
• maxJobsPerQuery: 1 to 200 (default 50). Google Jobs rarely lists more than 100 to 200 jobs for one search.
• onlyNewJobs (optional, monitoring): return only jobs never delivered to you before for the same search, country and language. See below.
• monitorName (optional): name of the key-value store in your account that remembers delivered jobs (default plainrows-google-jobs-monitor).

Get only new jobs (scheduled runs)

Turn on Only new jobs ("onlyNewJobs": true) and add an Apify schedule (daily, for example). The first run returns every job it finds and remembers them in a key-value store of your own Apify account; each later run returns and bills only jobs it has never delivered. A search with nothing new gets a free row with notFoundReason: "no-new-jobs".

Check fee in this mode: each page of up to 10 Google Jobs results checked costs one small page-checked event (about what the data source charges us), even when nothing new is found. It is never charged for a search the data source answered in an unexpected format (no results list): the run warns about it in the log and in its summary. Keep maxJobsPerQuery close to the number of new jobs you expect per run. Runs without Only new jobs never pay it.

• A job is recognized by its title, company and location, so the same job re-listed on another job board is not delivered twice (Google's jobId changes in that case).
• Each search checks up to maxJobsPerQuery jobs; jobs left out by that limit or your run budget stay new for the next run. Use a different monitorName per monitoring task to keep separate histories, or a new name to start over.

Pricing

Pay per result, no subscription, no proxy costs; $0.001 per run start. See the Pricing tab for current prices: one event per job listing returned, cheaper on higher Apify plans, and one results-page event ($0.0016, all plans) per page of up to 10 results for a search that returns at least one job (not with Only new jobs). With Only new jobs, each page of up to 10 results checked also costs a small page-checked event ($0.0016, all plans). Salary parsing, apply links and posting dates are included (no "details" add-on).

Searches with no job, duplicates and input mistakes cost nothing (apart from the $0.001 start fee per run). The run never spends more than the maximum cost you set. If many searches in a row return nothing billable (about $0.01 of data-provider calls), the run stops early and says so in its status; the searches not run are not charged.

Free Apify plan: each run returns up to 20 jobs for up to 2 searches, so you can check the output. A paid Apify plan removes these limits.

Use it from code, automations or AI agents

API (one call, results returned directly):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/plainrows~google-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries": ["data engineer in Austin, TX"], "country": "US", "maxJobsPerQuery": 20}'

n8n, Make, Zapier: use the Apify integration, pick plainrows/google-jobs-scraper, schedule it daily and append new jobIds to Google Sheets, Airtable or Slack.

AI agents (MCP): add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=plainrows/google-jobs-scraper to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. The agent gets a typed tool and pays per result.

What this is not

• No full job description. You get the listing summary shown in Google Jobs and the apply link; open the link for the full text. For complete descriptions straight from company career pages, see ATS Job Postings (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby).
• No recruiter names or contact details.
• Not a live feed: each row carries observedAt; postedAt is approximate (Google shows "2 days ago").
• Not affiliated with Google, LinkedIn, Indeed or ZipRecruiter.

Run summary

Each run stores a summary in the key-value store (OUTPUT): searches submitted and run, how many returned nothing, jobs billed, searches Google did not answer, duplicates and invalid values, and anything skipped because of the free-plan or budget limit.

FAQ

How do I scrape Google Jobs for a city? Put the city in the search, as in Google: data engineer in Austin, TX. Without a city you get jobs from the whole country.

Does it include Indeed and LinkedIn jobs? It returns what Google Jobs lists, and Google Jobs gathers listings from many job boards and career sites; via tells you where each job comes from (LinkedIn, Indeed, company sites...).

Are salaries included? When Google shows one (often not). The text is kept in salary and parsed into salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryPeriod and salaryCurrency.

How do I get only new jobs every day? Schedule the run daily and keep the jobIds you have not seen before.

Does it return the full job description? No: open applyUrl for it, or use ATS Job Postings for full descriptions from company career pages.
