Foundit Jobs Scraper & API: HR Phones, Real or Repost

Foundit Jobs Scraper & API: HR Phone Numbers, Real or Repost, Salary

Scrape Foundit jobs (foundit.in, formerly Monster India) to Excel, CSV or JSON without login, know where every job really comes from, and get the HR contact number of the recruiter or job consultancy behind it. What sets it apart:

• Posted on Foundit or reposted? Most Foundit jobs are copies of jobs from other sites. In our test of 500 new jobs (data entry, sales executive, python developer, accountant, telecaller), 448 (90%) were reposts: 360 from LinkedIn, 64 from company career sites (Oracle Recruiting, Workday, Infosys careers...). Every row has sourceType, repostedFrom (LinkedIn / Job board / Company career site), applyPlatform and the original job link (originalJobUrl), so you apply where the employer reads applications. Already scraping LinkedIn? Skip LinkedIn reposts in one click.
• Jobs posted on Foundit itself come with what reposts lack: a salary range (35 of 52 in our test; the rest hidden by the employer), applicants (median 32 against 1 for reposts) and views. Keep only them with Source: Only jobs posted on Foundit.
• Company or placement agency? postedByType says if a company or a consultancy posted the job (29 of the 52 Foundit jobs were from consultancies). Filter on it.
• Is this Foundit job real or fake? Jobs posted on Foundit get redFlags with the reason: a fee or deposit asked, contact on WhatsApp or a phone number in the text, a Gmail address, "earn daily / no interview" promises, a salary range 4x wide, a hidden company name. 24 of the 52 had at least one. Skip them in one click.
• HR and job consultancy phone numbers (paid option). 55% of the jobs posted on Foundit carry the phone of the recruiter or placement consultancy behind them: real mobile numbers (in our test 126 different numbers, almost each used by one company), not shown on the job page. Pick HR / recruiter phone numbers: Add to get recruiterName and recruiterPhone (+91...) on those jobs, or Only jobs with a recruiter phone for an HR contact list by role and city ("hr contact number for job in Bangalore", "job consultancy contact number in Delhi"). Paid once per number in a run, however many jobs it posted. Reposts have no real phone and get none.
• 7 Foundit sites, one Actor: India, Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar...), Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong.
• Foundit's own filters: keyword, locations, experience, minimum salary, posted within 1-30 days, work from home, jobs for women, walk-in, contract, company or consultancy, company names, newest first. Up to 10,000 jobs per search, 100 per request.
• Alerts, no copies. Schedule it and get only jobs you have not seen; the same job under two keywords is returned once.

{ "keywords": ["data entry"], "locations": ["Bangalore"], "source": "native", "skipJobsWithRedFlags": true, "postedWithin": "pastWeek" }

How it works

Step	What happens
1. Search	Foundit's own search for each keyword × location, 100 jobs a request, with Foundit's filters (experience, salary, posted within, job type, company or consultancy, companies). Newest first on request
2. Source	Each job's original link tells if it is a LinkedIn repost, a job board repost or a company career site job, and on which platform
3. Job details	For each job: its Foundit job card, for the description, company profile, views, closing date, coordinates, benefits
4. Red flags and filters	Warning signs checked; source, salary, title and company filters applied. Removed jobs, copies (same title, company and place) and jobs seen by an alert are not charged

FAQ

Is Foundit real or fake? Foundit is the real job site formerly called Monster India (Monster APAC & Middle East), owned by Quess Corp. Most of its jobs are reposts of jobs published elsewhere: on LinkedIn or on the employer's own career site. Those are as real as the original; apply through originalJobUrl. Jobs posted on Foundit itself come from companies and placement consultancies; most are genuine, and redFlags points out the signs scam guides warn about. Never pay a fee to get a job.

Which red flags are checked? A registration, training or joining fee or a deposit mentioned; contact on WhatsApp; a phone number in the job text; a personal email address (Gmail, Yahoo...); "earn daily", "no target", "no interview" promises; a salary range where the top is 4x the bottom or more; a hidden company name. A red flag is a reason to look closer, not a verdict: many genuine consultancies list a phone number.

Why do reposts have no salary? Foundit copies the job without the pay, like most LinkedIn jobs in India. Jobs posted on Foundit itself carry a salary range unless the employer hides it (salaryHidden); the Actor then leaves the salary empty, since Foundit's data holds only a placeholder.

Can I scrape the Gulf, Singapore or Malaysia site? Yes: pick the Region, or paste links from founditgulf.com, foundit.sg, foundit.my, foundit.com.ph, foundit.id or foundit.hk. Salaries come in the site's currency.

Where do the recruiter phones come from? From Foundit's own data for jobs posted on Foundit: the number the recruiter or consultancy gave with the job. Foundit does not print it on the job page, so it is a paid option, off by default. Reposts have a placeholder there; the Actor drops placeholders, repeated digits and numbers of the wrong length.

Do I need a Foundit account? No. No login is used and candidate profiles are not collected.

Use with the API and AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python client, n8n, Make or Zapier, or from AI agents through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). One call: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/s_actors~foundit-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items with the input above returns the jobs as JSON. Set Description format to "None" for smaller answers.

Is it legal?

The Actor reads public Foundit job listings that anyone can open without an account, as a visitor does. It does not log in or collect candidate profiles, and it leaves out salaries hidden by employers. Recruiter names and phones are personal data and come only when you ask for them: use them for business outreach about the job and follow India's DPDP Act, TRAI do-not-disturb rules for calls and SMS, GDPR and similar. Company names and job details are public; use such data according to the laws that apply to you (India's DPDP Act, GDPR and similar) and Foundit's terms.
