Indeed Scraper — Jobs, Salaries, Companies & Full Descriptions

The fastest Indeed scraper on Apify. Extract job titles, salaries, companies, locations, ratings, full descriptions, apply links, and optional company profiles from Indeed search, keyword + location queries, and start URLs — across 50+ countries.

From $2.00 / 1,000 job listings — cheaper than alternatives charging $3–$6. 10 free listings per run to test.

No official Indeed job-search API exists anymore. This actor scrapes public Indeed pages using embedded JSON (not fragile CSS selectors) for stable, structured output.

How it works

1. Search discovery — fetches Indeed listing pages via HTTP + Apify Proxy
2. JSON extraction — parses embedded mosaic-provider-jobcards data (stable, not CSS selectors)
3. Detail enrichment — fetches each job's embedded JSON for full description, benefits, apply link
4. Optional company scrape — visits /cmp/ pages for company profile data
5. Dedup + output — unique jobs pushed to dataset with pay-per-result billing

Try for free uses a lightweight prefill (5 jobs, full description) so Apify QA completes in under 5 minutes. Production runs default to 100 jobs per search with full descriptions.

FAQ

Does this use the official Indeed API?
No. Indeed deprecated public job-search APIs. This scrapes public listing pages.

Do I lose full descriptions?
No. scrapeFullDescription defaults to true. Only the Apify demo prefill is limited to 5 jobs for speed.

Do I need a proxy?
Strongly recommended. Enable useApifyProxy: true in production.

Can I scrape company job pages?
Yes — paste URLs like https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Google/jobs in startUrls.
