What it does

CutShort is one of India's larger startup hiring platforms, and unlike most job boards it publishes a genuinely rich skills taxonomy — every listing carries an explicit skills array and a numeric experience band rather than free text buried in a description.

This actor reads CutShort's own public JSON search surface over plain HTTP. No browser, no login, no cookies. It returns one record per job with the title, company, locations array, remote flag, the full skills list, the salary band as published, minimum and maximum years of experience as integers, role types, and the description.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchSlugs	array	no	[]	CutShort job-category slugs to scrape, e.g. 'remote-golang-jobs'. Leave empty to auto-discover categories from the jobs index.
maxJobs	integer	no	10	Maximum jobs to return across all pages.

Example input

{
  "searchSlugs": [],
  "maxJobs": 10
}

Output

One record per job. Field list and example below are taken from a real run, not a mock-up.

Use cases

• India tech talent-demand analysis — the skills array is structured, so you can count demand per technology without NLP over job text.
• Salary banding by experience — experience_min_years and experience_max_years are numeric, which makes compensation-versus-seniority analysis a groupby rather than a parsing project.
• Startup hiring signals — a company opening several senior roles at once is a fundable-growth signal.
• Recruiter sourcing lists — filter to a skill plus an experience band to build a target list of companies actively hiring for it.
• Skills-gap research — compare the skills demanded on live listings against the skills your training or curriculum covers.

FAQ

Is this scraping HTML?

No. It reads the same public JSON endpoint CutShort's own web app calls, which is why it needs no browser and costs a fraction of a browser-based scraper.

Are the skills normalised?

They are returned exactly as CutShort publishes them, including their own variants such as 'NodeJS (Node.js)'. Normalising them would be lossy and opinionated, so mapping is left to you.

Is salary always present?

No. Many Indian startup listings omit it. When CutShort publishes a band the field carries it as shown; when it does not, the field is absent rather than zero, so 'not disclosed' never looks like a real number.

Can I filter to remote-only roles?

Yes — every record carries a boolean remote flag, and role_types distinguishes full-time from contract and internship.

Billing

Pay per event: one job-scraped event per delivered record, charged only after the record is validated and stored. Empty results, blocked pages and duplicates are never charged. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans.

Use in Claude, ChatGPT & any MCP agent

This actor runs as an MCP server, so an AI agent can call it directly:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/cutshort-jobs-scraper

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("themineworks/cutshort-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={"searchSlugs": [], "maxJobs": 10})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
