## Pricing

from $2.92 / 1,000 extracted job details

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

#### 🎉 Search live Naukri jobs by keyword and city — salary band, experience, skills and vacancies for every job

##### Built for recruiters, talent-sourcing teams, HR analysts and job aggregators who need fresh India job data without copy-paste

***

### 🔍 What is the Naukri Jobs Scraper — and when should you use it?

The **Naukri Jobs Scraper** turns a Naukri job search into clean, structured rows you can filter, export and feed into a spreadsheet, database or AI agent. No account, no portal API key, no browser automation to maintain.

**Use it when you need:** live Indian job postings for a role or skill, with the hiring company, city, salary band, experience range, key skills, vacancy count and posting date.

**Use something else when:** you need jobs from Indeed, LinkedIn or Glassdoor, or from outside India. Use [Jobs Search API](https://apify.com/sian.agency/jsearch-jobs-scraper?fpr=sian) for that.

***

### 🤖 Use with AI agents

Already connected to the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com)? Just ask for this Actor by name: sian.agency/naukri-jobs-scraper

**Your agent can pay for its own runs.** This Actor is eligible for [agentic payments](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize), so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over [x402](https://www.x402.org/) (USDC on Base) or [Skyfire](https://www.skyfire.xyz/) — without an Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is the same either way: per job delivered.

Otherwise copy this prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

```text
I want a list of live job openings in India for a role, using the Apify Actor `sian.agency/naukri-jobs-scraper`.

Use it when I need: Naukri job postings with company, city, salary band, experience range, skills, vacancies and posting date.

Don't use it when: I need jobs from Indeed, LinkedIn or Glassdoor, or outside India — use `sian.agency/jsearch-jobs-scraper` instead.

How to call it: set "scrapeMode" to "search", then give either a "keyword" (optionally with a "city" and filters such as "experience", "jobAge", "wfhType" or "ctcFilter"), or paste Naukri search-result URLs in "searchUrls". Each page holds about 20 jobs.

Start with this input:
{
  "scrapeMode": "search",
  "keyword": "data analyst",
  "city": "Bangalore",
  "jobAge": "7",
  "maxPages": 2,
  "maxResults": 40
}

Ask me which role and city I care about, then run the Actor and summarise the results as a table.
```

**Things you can ask your agent for:**

- *"Find remote Python developer jobs posted on Naukri this week and list the companies hiring."*
- *"Compare the salary bands for data analyst jobs in Bangalore and Pune."*
- *"Which skills show up most often in product manager openings in Mumbai?"*

Machine-readable API, MCP config and OpenAPI definition for this Actor are published at [apify.com/sian.agency/naukri-jobs-scraper.md](https://apify.com/sian.agency/naukri-jobs-scraper.md).

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How many jobs can I extract?**
A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited. Each result page holds about 20 jobs, so raise `maxPages` for bigger pulls.

**Q: Do I need a Naukri account or API key?**
A: No. Just run the actor.

**Q: What output formats are available?**
A: JSON, CSV and Excel, exported straight from the Apify dataset.

**Q: Why is the salary sometimes empty?**
A: Many employers hide the salary band. For those jobs `salary_disclosed` is `false` and the salary fields stay empty rather than showing 0.

**Q: Can I fetch a single job by its link or ID?**
A: Not right now. Job details mode is temporarily unavailable. Search for the role and company instead, and every matching job comes back with its link.

**Q: How long does a run take?**
A: About a minute for two pages (around 40 jobs).

**Q: Is this legal?**
A: We only extract publicly available job listings. See the legal note below.

***

### 🐛 Troubleshooting

**Fewer jobs than requested**

- Your search may have fewer live matches than `maxResults`. Widen the keyword, drop a filter, or remove the city.
- Raise `maxPages`: each page holds about 20 jobs.

**A pasted URL is rejected**

- Use a search-results URL such as `https://www.naukri.com/python-developer-jobs` or `https://www.naukri.com/jobs-in-pune`, not a single job listing.

**The run ends with a "blocked" message**

- Naukri occasionally blocks a search. No jobs are billed on those runs, only the run-start fee. Wait a few minutes and run it again.

### ⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the **GDPR** in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).
