🎓 Internshala Scraper: Internships, Fresher Jobs & Stipends · From $1.20/1k

What does Internshala Scraper do?

It turns any Internshala search into structured early-career data: title, company, stipend or salary parsed into real numbers, duration, required skills, location and posting date. Internshala is India's dominant internship and early-career job platform, the first stop for students and freshers looking for a paid internship, a work-from-home gig, or an entry-level job, and this actor covers all three of its listing boards.

✅ No login required | ✅ No captcha or anti-bot friction | ✅ Pay only for delivered listings | ✅ MCP-ready for AI agents

Who is it for?

Campus-hiring and early-career recruiting teams building a pipeline of interns and fresher hires. HR and compensation teams benchmarking internship stipends by city, category or company. Edtech and career-content platforms powering an "internships this week" digest or enriching a student jobs board with live, normalised listings.

How much does it cost to scrape Internshala?

You pay per listing actually delivered. Nothing else: no subscription, no seat licence, no monthly minimum.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 listings
Free	$2.00
Bronze	$1.68
Silver	$1.42
Gold and above	$1.20

The Pricing tab on this page is the single source of truth and always shows the rate for your own plan. If this table and the Pricing tab ever disagree, the Pricing tab is right.

What a real pull costs. Apify's Free plan includes $5 of usage credit every month, roughly 2,500 Internshala listings a month at no cost to you. A 500-listing pull costs about $0.60 on Gold. A 5,000-listing category sweep costs about $6.00 on Gold.

What is never charged. Empty searches, blocked pages and duplicate listings are never charged. The charge event fires only once a listing is validated and stored in your dataset.

How does it work?

Internshala's own search page loads results through a plain JSON AJAX endpoint (/internships_ajax/, /jobs_ajax/, /fresher-jobs_ajax/) that returns a JSON object containing an HTML fragment of listing cards plus pagination flags. This actor calls that same endpoint directly with a plain HTTP GET, no browser, no session warm-up, no residential proxy required, since no anti-bot challenge was found anywhere in the search or pagination flow during testing. Each returned fragment is parsed with a lightweight HTML parser, not rendered in a browser.

Filters compose as URL path segments exactly the way Internshala's own front-end search builds them: keywords-<term>, category-<slug>, city-<slug> (not location-<slug>, a plausible-looking segment the site's own server silently ignores), work_from_home-true, part_time-true, stipend-<amount>, duration-<months>. Any combination can be requested at once, and the actor walks pages until Internshala reports its own last-page flag or your maxResults budget is reached, whichever comes first.

Raw stipend and salary strings such as ₹ 10,000 - 15,000 /month or Unpaid are parsed into compensation_min_inr, compensation_max_inr, compensation_unit and is_unpaid, so you can sort and filter compensation directly instead of regex-ing free text yourself. Duration strings like 6 Months are parsed to a numeric month count, and relative posting labels like 3 weeks ago are parsed to an approximate day count.

Every record contains these fields:

Field	Description
🆔 listing_id	Internshala's internal listing ID
🏷️ employment_type	internship, job, or fresher_job
📌 title	Listing title
🏢 company / company_logo	Company name and logo image URL
🔥 actively_hiring	Whether Internshala shows the "Actively hiring" badge
📍 location	Location text, city name(s) or "Work from home"
🏠 work_from_home	True if the listing is remote
💰 compensation_text	Raw stipend or salary string from Internshala
💵 compensation_min_inr / compensation_max_inr	Parsed numeric stipend or salary
🔖 compensation_unit	month (internship stipend), year (job salary), or lump_sum
🚫 is_unpaid	True if explicitly marked Unpaid
⏳ duration_text / duration_months	Internship duration, raw and normalised. Internships only
📈 experience_text / experience_min_years / experience_max_years	Experience requirement. Jobs and fresher jobs only
🛠️ skills	Required skills as an array
📝 description	Listing description, truncated to 400 characters unless includeDescription: true
🔗 apply_url	URL to the Internshala listing detail or apply page
🗓️ posted_text / posted_days_ago	Raw and parsed posting recency
🕒 scraped_at	ISO timestamp the record was captured

A minority of remote and global listings on Internshala are quoted in USD rather than INR. compensation_text always carries the raw string with its currency symbol, so check it when compensation_unit alone is not enough. Any field Internshala did not publish for a given listing is dropped rather than sent as null, exactly like the unpaid internship above, which carries no compensation_min_inr/compensation_max_inr and no company_logo.

Every run also ends with a final _type: "info" record. It is informational only and never billed.

What are the limitations?

Worth knowing before you buy, so there are no surprises:

• City matching depends on Internshala's own slugs. The city-<slug> filter only works for names the site recognizes; an unusual spelling may not match anything, and there is no error, just no results for that segment.
• stipendMin is inclusive of Unpaid listings. This mirrors Internshala's own filter behaviour, not a strict floor. Check is_unpaid and compensation_min_inr in the output if you need a strict "paid only, above X" cut.
• A minority of listings are quoted in USD, not INR. compensation_unit does not carry currency, only the time period, so check compensation_text for global or remote-for-overseas-employer listings.
• durationMaxMonths only applies to internships. Jobs and fresher jobs carry experience_text/experience_min_years/experience_max_years instead of a duration.
• Full description text costs nothing extra but is off by default. includeDescription returns the full text; without it, descriptions are truncated to 400 characters to keep payload size down.
• Per-run caps. maxResults hard-caps at 1,000, and the actor stops walking a keyword after 40 pages or three consecutive pages with nothing new, whichever comes first.

💼 What can you use it for?

Internship and fresher-job market monitoring. Track how many internships or fresher roles open in a category or city each week, and what stipend range they cluster around.

Stipend and salary benchmarking. Pull every work-from-home digital marketing internship and compute the median and range of stipends offered.

Talent sourcing for campus and early-career hiring. Feed listings into a sourcing tool to see what competitors are offering freshers in a given function.

Career-content and jobs-board feeds. Power a niche "internships this week" digest, or enrich an existing student jobs board with fresh listings and normalised stipend data.

🚀 How do I get started?

1. Open the actor and add one or more search keywords, for example digital marketing, or leave blank and use category or location filters only.
2. Pick employmentType: internships, jobs, or fresher jobs.
3. Optionally set category, city, work-from-home, part-time, minimum stipend and max duration.
4. Set maxResults to control cost.
5. Click Start. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the dataset via API or MCP.

🔁 Run on a schedule

Turn this from a one-off pull into a standing feed with Apify's built-in Schedules. No code, no cron server of your own.

1. Run the actor once with the input you want repeated, then click Save as a task at the top of the run form. This keeps your exact input attached for every future run.
2. In the Apify Console, go to Schedules in the left sidebar, then Create new.
3. Name it, set your timezone, and pick a frequency: a preset (hourly, daily, weekly) or a custom cron expression.
4. Under Actors or tasks to run, add the task you saved in step 1.
5. Save. From then on it runs unattended, billed the same pay-per-listing way as a manual run. Nothing is charged just for the schedule existing.

Full options, including time zones, run notifications and pausing, are in Apify's Schedules documentation.

Monitor mode: pay only for NEW listings

Set monitorMode: true and this actor remembers what it delivered last time, keyed on listing_id. On the next scheduled run, only genuinely new listings are pushed and charged.

{ "monitorMode": true }

Pairs directly with "Run on a schedule" above: save a task with monitorMode: true, attach it to a daily schedule, and you have a standing "what's new" feed with no duplicate charges. The summary row reports new_this_run and skipped_duplicates. The first run establishes the baseline; every run after that is incremental.

Is scraping Internshala legal?

This actor reads only Internshala's public listing search results, the same listings any visitor sees without logging in. It does not access any authenticated area of the site and does not attempt to bypass any access control. If the results you pull include personal data, laws like the GDPR and CCPA may apply to how you store and use it, so collect only what you have a legitimate purpose for. This is general information, not legal advice, and you remain responsible for using the output in line with Internshala's own terms and the law that applies to you.

FAQ

Does it log in to Internshala? No. The actor works from public search endpoints only. No account, no cookies, no captcha, no ban risk.

Why do some listings show Unpaid with no numeric stipend? Internshala allows unpaid internships. is_unpaid is set to true and compensation_min_inr/compensation_max_inr are omitted rather than set to zero, so they do not skew any average you compute.

I set stipendMin but I still got some Unpaid listings, is that a bug? No, this matches Internshala's own filter behaviour. Their minimum-stipend filter is inclusive of Unpaid listings, not a strict floor. Filter on is_unpaid or check compensation_min_inr in the output if you need a strict "paid only, above X" cut.

Can I search jobs and fresher jobs, not just internships? Yes, set employmentType to job or fresher_job. Field coverage differs slightly: job and fresher-job listings carry experience_text/experience_min_years/experience_max_years instead of duration_text/duration_months.

How do I get more than one page of results? Set maxResults to whatever budget you want. The actor follows Internshala's paginated result set until the budget is reached or Internshala reports the last page.

Can I use it in an AI agent? Yes. It is exposed as an MCP tool. See the section below.
