Indeed Jobs Scraper: 18 Fields, 17 Countries, No Login

💰 From $3.00 / 1,000 results.

Scrape public Indeed job listings by keyword and location with no login required: title, company, location, salary, job type, posted date, description snippet, apply URL, and 10 more fields, across 17 country sites.

What it does

Indeed's search results are public, but a plain, unproxied HTTP request into them is blocked by a PerimeterX security check backed by an interactive Cloudflare Turnstile challenge. This actor routes each request through Apify's UNBLOCKER proxy group, which clears that layer server-side (no browser needed on our end), then reads the job data straight out of the page's own embedded JavaScript model rather than scraping rendered HTML, so the fields you get back are the same ones Indeed's own front end uses internally.

Each search page is solved with a fresh proxy session, and a page is retried a few times if the first attempt gets a block/challenge response. Jobs are deduplicated by Indeed's own job key across pages, and the actor stops cleanly once a page returns no new jobs or a page can't be solved after retrying, rather than paying to keep retrying a degraded proxy pool. The first page of results is normally enough to satisfy a typical request; deeper pagination is solved less reliably and may stop early on a large maxResults.

You give it a query, an optional location, and a country. Every returned record carries the search_query and search_location that produced it, so a multi-search dataset stays attributable to what generated each row.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
query	string	yes	"software engineer"	Job title, skill, or keyword to search for (Indeed's "what" field).
location	string	no	"New York"	City, state, ZIP, or "Remote" (Indeed's "where" field). Leave empty for nationwide.
country	string	no	"US"	Which of the 17 supported Indeed country sites to search (US, GB, CA, IN, AU, DE, FR, NL, IE, SG, NZ, ES, IT, BR, MX, ZA, AE). Sets the Indeed domain (ccTLD).
maxResults	integer	no	45	Maximum job listings to return. Each solved search page yields roughly 15 to 45 jobs.
proxy	object	no	UNBLOCKER	Indeed hard-blocks datacenter and unproxied traffic. Apify's UNBLOCKER proxy group is required and is the default.

Use cases

Recruitment market mapping. Run the same query weekly across cities to see who's hiring, at what salary, and how fast postings turn over.

Compensation benchmarking. The salary string is captured verbatim as Indeed shows it, so you can band roles by title and location without running a survey.

Competitor headcount signals. Track a named company's postings over time as a leading indicator of expansion or a new team standing up.

Lead generation for staffing agencies. Companies posting urgently_hiring roles are in-market right now, not just browsing.

Job-board aggregation. Feed a niche board or newsletter with fresh, structured listings instead of scraping an RSS feed.

Labour-market research. Quantify remote versus on-site mix by filtering the remote boolean across a set of queries and locations.

Do I need an Indeed account or API key?

No. The actor reads publicly visible search results. There's no login step and you never supply credentials.

Which countries are supported?

Set country to one of the 17 supported Indeed sites: US, GB, CA, IN, AU, DE, FR, NL, IE, SG, NZ, ES, IT, BR, MX, ZA, or AE. location is passed through as typed, so it accepts anything the site's own location box accepts.

Why is salary a string rather than a number?

Because Indeed publishes it as a string and the shape varies: hourly ranges, annual ranges, "From £X", or nothing at all. Parsing it to a number would force a guess and quietly lose the unit, so the field is preserved exactly as displayed and left for you to parse against your own rules.

How current are the results?

They're fetched live at run time. posted keeps Indeed's own relative wording, and posted_date gives you a sortable ISO timestamp derived from it when Indeed provides one.

What does it cost?

Pay per event: $0.0048 per job delivered on the base rate, down to $0.003 per job on Gold-tier Apify plans and above. Billing fires only after a record is validated and stored, so a blocked page, an empty search, or a duplicate is never charged.

What a run with no results costs

Every run is charged one Actor Start event of $0.00005, including a run that returns nothing. The per-result charge is separate and genuinely does not fire on an empty, blocked or duplicate result, so a run that finds nothing costs $0.00005 and no more.
