LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from LinkedIn's public job search — no login required. Search by multiple job titles, filter by location, date posted, job type, experience level, and work type (remote/hybrid/on-site). Extracts full job descriptions, applicant counts, salary info, and more.

What does this Actor do?

This Actor uses LinkedIn's public guest job search to collect job listings matching your criteria. It works in two stages:

1. Search stage — Queries LinkedIn for each job title and collects basic info (title, company, location, posted date, salary if shown)
2. Detail stage — Visits each job's detail page to extract the full description, applicant count, seniority level, employment type, job function, and industry

All results are saved to the Apify Dataset, downloadable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Proxy requirements

LinkedIn actively blocks datacenter IP addresses. Without a residential proxy, you will see HTTP 999 errors and empty results.

This Actor is pre-configured to use Apify residential proxies by default. Residential proxies are available on Apify paid plans. If you're on a free plan, you can try without proxy but results may be incomplete.

---

Performance & limits

• LinkedIn caps public search results at ~1,000 results per keyword + location combination
• Using multiple specific job titles gives better coverage than one broad search
• With fetchJobDetails: true and residential proxies, expect roughly 30–60 jobs per minute
• With fetchJobDetails: false, it's significantly faster (~200 jobs/minute) but you won't get descriptions or salary
• Memory: 256 MB minimum

---

Tips for best results

• Narrow your searches — "Senior React Developer" + "London" returns better results than "Developer" + "Europe"
• Use date filters — "Past week" removes stale listings and speeds up the run
• Multiple job titles — Add variations: ["Data Scientist", "Machine Learning Engineer", "ML Engineer"]
• Combine with location — Run separate Actor instances for different cities if needed
