Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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. --- ### Why this scraper is better | Feature | misceres/indeed-scraper | **This actor** | |---|---|---| | Price per 1,000 | $3.00–$6.00 | **$2.00** | | Full job description | ✅ | ✅ HTML + plain text | | Company details | Optional | ✅ Optional + richer fields | | Keyword + location search | ✅ | ✅ | | Start URLs + company jobs URLs | ✅ | ✅ | | Multi-country (50+) | ✅ | ✅ | | Apply link redirect resolution | Optional | ✅ Optional | | Unique job deduplication | ✅ | ✅ | | HTTP-first (fast, low cost) | Browser-heavy | ✅ Embedded JSON parsing | | Extra fields | Basic | ✅ sponsored, remote, benefits, urgentlyHiring | --- ### What data you get Each job listing includes: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `positionName` | Job title | | `salary` | Salary as shown on Indeed | | `jobType` | Full-time, Part-time, Contract, etc. | | `company` | Hiring company name | | `companyIndeedUrl` | Company page on Indeed | | `location` | Job location | | `rating` | Company rating (0–5) | | `reviewsCount` | Number of company reviews | | `externalApplyLink` | Employer apply URL (optional redirect follow) | | `url` | Indeed job listing URL | | `id` | Indeed job key (unique ID) | | `postedAt` | Relative posting age ("3 days ago") | | `postingDateParsed` | ISO 8601 parsed date when available | | `description` | Full plain-text description | | `descriptionHTML` | Full HTML description | | `companyInfo` | Company profile when `parseCompanyDetails: true` | | `searchInput` | Search params used to find this job | | `urlInput` | Start URL if applicable | | `sponsored` | Sponsored listing flag | | `remoteWorkModel` | Remote / hybrid / on-site when available | | `benefits` | Benefits list from job page | | `urgentlyHiring` | Urgent hiring badge | | `isExpired` | Whether listing expired | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | --- ### Input | Parameter | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `position` | — | Keywords / job titles (array) | | `location` | — | City, zip, or region | | `country` | `US` | ISO country code (US, FR, GB, DE, …) | | `maxItemsPerSearch` | `100` | Max jobs per keyword or start URL | | `startUrls` | — | Search, company jobs, or viewjob URLs | | `scrapeFullDescription` | **`true`** | Fetch full job page (disable for fast listing-only) | | `parseCompanyDetails` | `false` | Scrape company Indeed profile | | `saveOnlyUniqueItems` | `true` | Dedupe by job ID | | `followApplyRedirects` | `false` | Resolve final apply URL | | `detailConcurrency` | `8` | Parallel detail fetches | | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify Proxy | **Recommended** | #### Example — full detail (recommended) ```json { "position": ["software engineer", "data analyst"], "location": "New York", "country": "US", "maxItemsPerSearch": 50, "scrapeFullDescription": true, "parseCompanyDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` #### Example — company jobs URL ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Google/jobs" } ], "maxItemsPerSearch": 100, "scrapeFullDescription": true } ``` #### Example — fast listing-only ```json { "position": ["web developer"], "location": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "maxItemsPerSearch": 100, "scrapeFullDescription": false } ``` *** ### Pricing | Tier | Per 1,000 job listings | |---|---:| | **Standard** | **$2.00** | | Free trial | 10 listings / run | Billing event: **`job-listing`** — one charge per dataset row. Enable Pay-per-event monetization in Apify Console with the `job-listing` custom event. *** ### Quick start #### Apify Console 1. Click **Try for free** (lightweight QA demo: 5 listings) 2. Add keywords + location, or paste start URLs 3. Keep **Scrape full job description** enabled for complete output 4. Enable **Apify Proxy** → **Start** #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN") run = client.actor("rp_openpro.ai/indeed-scraper").call(run_input={ "position": ["software engineer"], "location": "New York", "country": "US", "maxItemsPerSearch": 50, "scrapeFullDescription": True, }) for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(job["positionName"], job["company"], job["salary"]) ``` *** ### Supported countries US, GB, FR, DE, CA, AU, NL, BE, ES, IT, CH, AT, IE, PL, PT, SE, NO, DK, FI, MX, BR, AR, CL, CO, IN, SG, HK, JP, KR, AE, SA, ZA, NZ, PH, MY, TH, VN, ID, TR, UA, RO, CZ, HU, GR, IL, EG, NG, MA, PK, QA, KW, and more. *** ### Use cases - **Job market research** — salary benchmarks by role and city - **Recruitment automation** — aggregate openings for your ATS - **Competitor hiring tracking** — monitor company job pages - **Lead generation** — find companies actively hiring in your niche - **Academic / labor economics** — structured hiring trend datasets *** ### 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`. *** ### Responsible use Scrape only data you are legally allowed to collect. Respect Indeed's Terms of Service and applicable employment/privacy laws. *** *Built by [Leadsit.eu](https://www.leadsit.eu) — B2B data tools for modern teams.* *Keywords: indeed scraper, scrape indeed jobs, indeed job API alternative, job listing scraper, recruitment data, salary scraper, indeed automation* # Actor input Schema ## `position` (type: `array`): Job titles or keywords to search.
