Indeed Scraper — Job Listings, Salaries & Companies

Scrape job listings from Indeed.com at scale. Extract job titles, company names, salaries, locations, descriptions, posting dates, and direct application URLs. Filter by keyword, location, job type, and date posted. No login or API key required.

Important: Proxy Required — Indeed aggressively blocks automated access from datacenter IPs. This actor requires residential or premium proxies to work reliably. Configure proxyConfiguration with "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] in your input. Without proper proxy configuration, most requests will be blocked or return CAPTCHAs.

What It Does

• Keyword search — Enter any job title, skill, or company name and get structured data for every Indeed listing
• Location filtering — Narrow results to any city, state, ZIP code, or "remote" to find location-specific jobs
• Salary extraction — Get posted salary ranges when available on Indeed listings
• Job type filtering — Filter by full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, internship, or commission roles
• Date filtering — Find recently posted jobs from the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days
