Cutshort Jobs Scraper - India Startup & Tech Jobs

Scrape public job listings from Cutshort, India's job board for startup and tech roles. Give it skills or roles (python, reactjs, data engineering) and optionally a city or "remote", or paste any cutshort.io/jobs/... listing URL. You get one clean JSON row per job, with the salary range already parsed into numbers (INR per year, or per month for internships), the experience range in years, skills, remote policy, posted date and company details (stage, size, type, founded year, website). Unlike the alternatives there is no start fee: you pay per job only. An only-new mode turns it into a job alert, and it reads only the public listing pages that Cutshort's robots.txt allows. It never touches detail, apply or profile pages, and it doesn't output recruiter names or contact details. The output schema matches our other job scrapers (Dice, SEEK, Reed, Internshala, Workday), so you can merge the feeds.

Use cases

• Job alerts: schedule a daily run with onlyNew and get only jobs you haven't seen, in Slack, email or a Google Sheet.
• Salary benchmarking: compare INR salary ranges by skill, city, experience band and company stage.
• Startup hiring signals: see which funded or profitable startups hire for which skills, for sales prospecting or investor research.
• Job aggregators and boards: feed Indian tech jobs into your own site, in the same schema as our other job scrapers.
• Talent market research: track demand for skills (GenAI, Kubernetes, Golang) across Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and remote.

How to use

1. Enter one or more keywords (skills or roles). Each keyword becomes one Cutshort listing page.
2. Optionally pick a city or Remote.
3. Set Max jobs and run. Results appear in the dataset; export them as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Python jobs in Bangalore:

{
    "keywords": ["python"],
    "location": "bangalore",
    "maxItems": 100
}

Several remote roles, only new ones since the last run (for a daily schedule):

{
    "keywords": ["reactjs", "nodejs", "golang"],
    "location": "remote",
    "maxItems": 200,
    "onlyNew": true,
    "stateKey": "remote-dev-alert"
}

Any listing page or slug, e.g. collections like funded startups:

{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://cutshort.io/jobs/fullstack-developer-jobs-in-pune" }],
    "searchSlugs": ["funded-startup-jobs", "product-based-company-jobs"],
    "maxItems": 100
}

Keywords. They map to Cutshort's listing slugs (/jobs/{keyword}-jobs). Common spellings are translated for you: React → reactjs, Node → nodejs, ML / machine learning → machine-learning-ml, AI → artificial-intelligence-ai, data science → datascience, full stack → fullstack-developer. If a keyword has no listing page, the run logs a warning for that keyword and carries on. To find the exact slug, open cutshort.io/jobs, click a category and copy the URL into Start URLs.

Cities. Cutshort has city pages for Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi NCR (Gurgaon, Noida), Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. With a city and no keyword, you get all startup jobs in that city.

The dataset has three views: Overview, Salary & experience and Companies. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists every search with its status, pages, job counts and the number of jobs Cutshort reports for that listing.

Pricing

Pay per event, no start fee:

Event	Price
job: one job listing in the dataset	$0.0015

Worked example: 1,000 jobs ≈ $1.50. The prefill (10 Python jobs) costs about $0.015. Platform usage is small: one request returns 50 jobs. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when it reaches it. In only-new mode you pay only for jobs that are new.

Tips and limits

• Max jobs counts across all searches. Searches run one after another, so with 3 keywords and maxItems: 100 the first keyword can use the whole budget. Raise the limit, or run one keyword per task.
• Volume per listing. Each listing page returns 50 jobs per page, and the Actor pages through all of them (a broad listing like python-jobs has 4,000+). Cutshort lists newest first. If new jobs are posted mid-run, pages can shift slightly; duplicates are removed by job id.
• Salary numbers are the displayed range. Cutshort shows employers' "displayed" range; we output those numbers so they match salaryText. When the employer hides the salary ("Best in industry"), salaryMin/salaryMax are null and salaryHidden is true. For "Upto ₹30L" only salaryMax is set. Internship stipends have salaryPeriod: "month".
• No equity field. Cutshort's listing data has no structured equity/ESOP field, so we don't invent one; mentions in the description text stay in description.
• Agency listings. When a recruiter posts for an undisclosed client (hiringForClient: true), companyName is the client blurb and there's no company page. Company stage and size are missing for about a third of jobs because the company didn't fill them in.
• Only-new mode remembers job ids per stateKey for 90 days. The first run outputs everything and becomes the baseline, so give it a large maxItems (or 0) to cover the whole listing. Later runs stop paging at the first page with no new jobs (Cutshort lists newest first), so a daily alert usually costs 1-2 requests per keyword.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Cutshort? The Actor reads only public job listings that anyone can see without logging in, and only pages that Cutshort's robots.txt allows: listing pages and their page-2, page-3 data, never /view/j/, /vj/, /profile/, /apply/ or the disallowed query strings. It doesn't output recruiter names, photos, emails or phone numbers (contact details found inside a description are replaced with [redacted]). You are responsible for using the data in line with Cutshort's terms, the DPDP Act, GDPR and other laws that apply to you.

Do I need a Cutshort account or cookies? No.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. If Cutshort starts answering with HTTP 403/429, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter). Residential proxies are not supported: if you pick the RESIDENTIAL group, the Actor logs a warning and uses Apify datacenter proxy instead.

My keyword returned nothing. The log and RUN_SUMMARY say "Cutshort has no listing page /jobs/...". Open cutshort.io/jobs, find the category and paste its URL into Start URLs, or put the slug into Listing slugs.

Can I get the recruiter's email? No. Some alternatives sell recruiter contact emails; we deliberately don't collect personal contact data.

How fresh is the data? Live: every run reads Cutshort at that moment.
