Naukri.com Jobs Scraper

Python Apify actor that scrapes job listings from Naukri.com by keyword. It drives a real headless Chromium session (Playwright) to pass Naukri's Akamai/CAPTCHA bot checks, then calls Naukri's own search JSON endpoint (jobapi/v3/search) from inside that browser session for each page of results — the same request Naukri's own front end makes when a user paginates.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	— (required)	Job title, skill or company to search for, e.g. "python developer".
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum number of job listings to scrape.
sortBy	"relevance" | "date"	"relevance"	Result ordering.
workType	"" | "remote" | "hybrid" | "onsite"	""	Optional work-arrangement filter, folded into the search query.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy (residential)	Naukri blocks most datacenter IPs — keep Apify Proxy enabled.

Output

One dataset item per job:

{
  "companyLogo": "https://img.naukimg.com/logo_images/groups/v1/13832.gif",
  "title": "Python developer with RAG, Langraph, Langchain",
  "companyName": "Infosys",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.naukri.com/job-listings-...",
  "jobId": "100726925760",
  "salary": "Not disclosed",
  "salaryMin": 0,
  "salaryMax": 0,
  "experience": "2-5 Yrs",
  "location": "Bengaluru",
  "skills": ["Python", "Css", "Postgresql"],
  "description": "...",
  "companyRating": 3.5,
  "companyReviewCount": 49928,
  "isWalkin": false,
  "postedDate": "2 Days Ago",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-13T05:48:28.028Z"
}

How it works

1. Launch headless Chromium (via Apify Proxy) and navigate to the Naukri search results page for the keyword — this lets Naukri's anti-bot JS run and set the session cookies it requires.
2. From inside that same browser page, call jobapi/v3/search once per page of 20 results (via fetch, reusing the session/cookies), incrementing pageNo until maxItems or the total result count is reached.
3. Map each raw job record onto the stable output schema and push it to the dataset.

Notes

• Naukri's search JSON response is undocumented and can drift; field extraction uses fallback aliases per field so minor schema changes don't break the whole run.
• salaryMin/salaryMax are only populated when Naukri discloses a numeric salary range (parsed from strings like "5-10 Lacs PA"); undisclosed salaries yield 0.
• Naukri (via Akamai) blocks datacenter IPs outright, even for plain page loads — keep the residential Apify Proxy group enabled in the input, or every page will fail after retries.
