Apna Jobs Scraper - India Jobs by Keyword, City & Category

Apna Jobs Scraper - India Job Listings by Keyword, City & Category

Scrape public job listings from apna.co, one of India's largest job boards for blue-, grey- and white-collar jobs (sales, delivery, telecalling, back office, retail and more). Search several keywords in several cities in one run, or paste any apna.co category or city page. Each job comes back as clean JSON with structured monthly salary (min/max in INR, incentives), work mode (office/home/field), shift, experience range, education, English level and urgency, plus optional job details (skills, openings, applicant count, posting and expiry dates, full description). An only-new mode outputs just the jobs you have not seen before, which suits job aggregators and alerts. No login and no browser. Recruiter names, phone numbers, emails and WhatsApp links are never output.

Pricing

Pay per event, no start fee:

Event	Price	When
job	$0.001	every job in the dataset
job-details	$0.0005	extra, per job whose job page was read (only when you turn on Fetch job details)

Example: 1,000 jobs cost $1.00 (the default, listing data); with fetchDetails: true $1.50. With Only new jobs you pay only for jobs that are new to you. Set "Maximum cost per run" and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Tips and limits

• apna caps keyword searches at 500 results. For more, split by city or use category start URLs (https://apna.co/jobs/sales-jobs has thousands of jobs).
• Keyword search with a city uses apna's own location filter. Cities without a dedicated apna city page may not be found; the run logs a warning for that city and carries on.
• A city without keywords lists every job in that city.
• The filters (work mode, job type, shift, date posted, minimum salary, experience, sort) are apna's own server-side filters and apply to keyword/city searches. Start URLs are scraped as they are: set filters on apna.co and copy the URL.
• Search cards don't carry dates, education, openings or applicant counts; those need Fetch job details.
• apna.co rate-limits bursts of traffic (HTTP 481 "access denied"). The Actor then pauses for at least 30 s and slows down. If the limit is still there after 2 pauses, it stops early, keeps the jobs collected so far and says so in the status message and RUN_SUMMARY. Job details mean one request per job, so detailed runs are slower and more likely to hit the limit. Split big jobs into smaller scheduled runs.
• onlyNew remembers job IDs for 90 days per "Monitor name". Sort by "Newest first" for feeds; a search stops after 3 pages in a row with no new jobs.
• Salaries are monthly INR as shown on apna. 0 (not disclosed) becomes null.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape apna.co? The Actor reads only public job pages that anyone can open without logging in, and apna.co's robots.txt allows them. It outputs company-level job data only. Recruiter names, phone numbers, emails and WhatsApp links are removed, including from descriptions. You are responsible for using the data in line with apna's terms and the laws that apply to you, such as India's DPDP Act and GDPR.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. You can set your own proxy or Apify Proxy (datacenter) for the whole run; the Actor never switches proxy or IP by itself. Residential proxies are not supported: a RESIDENTIAL group falls back to datacenter proxy.

Why are some fields null? Either apna doesn't show them for that job, or "Fetch job details" is off (hasDetails: false).

Can I get applicant lists or recruiter contacts? No. Those are personal data, and this Actor never collects them.

Integrations

Use the results anywhere through the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, webhooks, scheduled runs, or no-code tools such as Make, Zapier and n8n. AI agents can call the Actor through the Apify MCP server. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.
