Indeed HTTP Scraper

Extract job listings from Indeed across 60+ countries. Returns structured fields per job including full descriptions, salary ranges, company ratings, benefits, and hiring counts. Pay per event, no subscription.

Two optional toggles control field coverage and cost:

• includeJobDetails: true (default): adds description_full, description_html, description_md, and requirements to every job
• includeCompanyDetails: true: adds website, industry, size, revenue, CEO, and other company profile fields per job (billed per unique company)

Searches page through Indeed's job search API in batches of up to 50 jobs, so a query can return hundreds of jobs. The default newest order is enforced on the collected results (newest posted_at first).

Need higher-fidelity detail extraction through a real browser? See our indeed-scraper actor (higher cost).

Additional fields when includeJobDetails: true (default)

Field	Description
description_full	Full job description, plain text
description_html	Full job description, raw HTML
description_md	Full job description, Markdown
requirements	Bullet list of job requirements extracted from the description

Descriptions, salary fields (salary_min, salary_max, salary_currency, salary_period) and basic company fields (company_website, company_size, company_industry) come back inline with search results. Where Indeed provides no structured pay for a country (for example the UK), pay that the employer states explicitly in the description, such as "£40,000 per annum", is extracted into the salary fields. includeCompanyDetails: true adds the full company profile. When employmentType or remoteOnly is set, the actor falls back to the search-page path, where these fields fill less often.

Additional fields when includeCompanyDetails: true

Field	Description
company_description	Company description from Indeed's company profile page
company_website	Official company website URL
company_industry	Industry or sector
company_size	Employee count range
company_revenue	Annual revenue range
company_founded	Year founded
company_headquarters	HQ address or city
ceo_name	CEO name
ceo_approval	CEO approval percentage
company_happiness_score	Indeed composite happiness score
company_social_urls	List of social profile URLs when available in the company profile. Not all companies have social links in their Indeed profiles.

What is NOT available (constraint documentation)

• Some older or expired listings may return empty descriptions. These will have description_full: null even with includeJobDetails: true.
• Company enrichment requires an active Indeed company profile. Jobs without a known company profile will have null company enrichment fields even with includeCompanyDetails: true.
• directUrls mode performs a SERP lookup per job key to fetch title, company, location, and posted_at. If the listing has expired or the search index does not return the exact card, those fields will be null. The description fetch still succeeds regardless.
• With employmentType or remoteOnly set, results come from Indeed's search page, which only serves the first page (about 15 jobs) to anonymous visitors. Use several specific queries for larger result sets, or drop those two filters.
• company_social_urls is often empty because many Indeed company profiles list no social links.
• employment_type is only present when Indeed shows a job type on the listing.

Deprecation notes

• company is deprecated (2026-09-29) and will be removed after 2027-09-29. Use company_name; both are emitted.
• company_url is deprecated (2026-09-29) and will be removed after 2027-09-29. Use company_profile_url; both are emitted.
• state and region carry the same value; work_location_type and remote_option are both emitted.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["software engineer"]	One or more job search keywords
searchUrls	string[]	[]	Pre-built Indeed search URLs preserving all filters
directUrls	string[]	[]	Direct links to specific Indeed job listings
location	string	""	Location text combined with searchQueries
country	enum	us	Indeed country domain (60+ options)
sortBy	enum	newest	newest (newest posting first) or relevance (Indeed's default ranking)
includeJobDetails	boolean	true	Fetch full descriptions, HTML, Markdown, and requirements
includeCompanyDetails	boolean	false	Fetch company profile for website, CEO, revenue, industry, social URLs
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	50	Cap per search query
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap across all queries
titleFilter	string	""	Comma-separated title terms (case-insensitive substring OR-match). Filters by job title after SERP fetch and before detail-fetch. Empty or omitted disables the filter. Example: Software Engineer, Backend Developer.
postedWithinDays	integer	0	Approximate date filter (0 = no filter). Snaps to nearest bucket: 1, 3, 7, or 14 days. Values above 14 disable the filter.
employmentType	enum	""	Filter by employment type. FULL_TIME and PART_TIME map to Indeed sc= attribute codes. INTERNSHIP, TEMPORARY, CONTRACT, TRAINEE have no direct Indeed attribute code and are treated as no filter.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	When true, restricts results to 100% remote positions using Indeed's homeoffice attribute filter.
startPage	integer	0	Skip N SERP pages before collecting
maxConcurrency	integer	5	Parallel workers for description and company fetches
forceHTMLPath	boolean	false	Force the search-page path even with sortBy: relevance (Advanced)

sortBy note: newest (default) asks Indeed for date order and then sorts the collected results by posted_at, newest first, because Indeed's own date order also surfaces refreshed and boosted listings. relevance keeps Indeed's default ranking. For scheduled scrapes, newest avoids re-scraping older listings.

postedWithinDays note: jobs older than the window are dropped and paging stops once a whole page is older. Indeed publishes dates at day resolution for most listings, so the cutoff is approximate to within a day.

Filter note: employmentType and remoteOnly are applied by Indeed's own search-page filters, which limits a query to about 15 jobs. Output fields and pricing are identical.

radiusKm: Indeed's radius filter is available through searchUrls. Build your URL in the Indeed UI with the radius you need, then paste it into searchUrls. The location field alone does not support a radius parameter.

Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE):

Event	Unit price	When it fires
actor-start	$0.001	Once per run
serp-page-scanned	$0.003	Per search page fetched
job-with-description	$0.005	Per job with description_full populated (includeJobDetails: true)
company-enriched	$0.005	Per unique company profile fetched (includeCompanyDetails: true)

Example costs (includeJobDetails: true):

• 100 jobs from one query (2 search pages of 50): $0.001 + 2 x $0.003 + 100 x $0.005 = $0.507
• 100 jobs across 3 queries (about 3 search pages): $0.001 + 3 x $0.003 + 100 x $0.005 = $0.510
• 40 jobs, one query (1 search page): $0.001 + 1 x $0.003 + 40 x $0.005 = $0.204
• 100 jobs plus company profiles (30 unique companies): $0.510 + 30 x $0.005 = $0.660

So expect roughly $0.50 to $0.55 per 100 jobs with descriptions, plus $0.005 per unique company if you enable company enrichment. The actor start fee applies once per run.

Usage Examples

Precision title filter

Returns only US software engineering jobs whose title contains "backend" or "senior" (case-insensitive substring match). Non-matching SERP rows are dropped before the detail-fetch step, so you don't pay for job-detail events on jobs you don't want.

{
  "searchQueries": ["software engineer"],
  "titleFilter": "backend, senior",
  "country": "us",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Example matched titles: "Senior Software Engineer, Backend", "Backend Developer (Fintech, Remote)".
