Input parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
queries	Yes	Job search queries (e.g., ["software engineer", "marketing manager"]). Each query runs a separate search.
location	No	Location filter (e.g., "New York, NY", "Remote"). Leave blank to auto-locate. Default "New York, NY".
maxResults	No	Maximum total jobs to return across all queries. Default 5.
proxyConfiguration	No	Apify proxy settings. Leave default for best results.

Use cases

• Job seekers: Monitor one of the largest US boards for a specific role or metro.
• Recruiters: Track competitor job postings and time-to-fill patterns.
• Salary researchers: Benchmark US compensation across roles and regions.
• Job aggregators: Include ZipRecruiter alongside Indeed, Monster, and SimplyHired in a single feed.

Limitations

• Primarily US-focused; international coverage is thin.
• Some salary figures are ZipRecruiter estimates rather than what the employer published.
• Full descriptions come from detail pages, so large runs take longer than a headline-only crawl.
• When ZipRecruiter will not open full job details, the Actor still returns the search-results rows. Those rows carry extraction_method: "listing_only" and may have no description or posted_date. The run status message reports how many rows came from this path.
• A run timeout under 90 seconds is refused immediately rather than started, since that is less than the browser needs to warm up.

Compared to alternatives

• vs. other ZipRecruiter scrapers on Apify Store: No established public ZipRecruiter actor — this one fills that gap and matches the output shape of our Indeed and Monster scrapers for consistent downstream pipelines.

Pairs well with Monster Jobs Scraper, SimplyHired Jobs Scraper, and Google Jobs Scraper for full US coverage.

FAQ

Do I need a ZipRecruiter account? No. This actor reads only public listings.

Can I filter remote-only jobs? Yes. Set location to "Remote".

How large can a single run be? maxResults goes up to 500. Very broad queries with very high limits may return fewer unique listings than requested.

How fresh is the data? Pulled live at run time.
