ZipRecruiter Scraper — Jobs, Salaries & Companies

Scrape job ads from ZipRecruiter (ziprecruiter.com), one of the largest US job boards, by keyword and location, with ZipRecruiter's own filters (radius, posted within, employment type, experience level, remote / hybrid / on-site, salary range, 1-Click Apply), or from any ZipRecruiter search URL. For every job you get the title, company with logo and ZipRecruiter company link, location split into city / state / ZIP, workplace type and a remote flag, employment type, the pay line exactly as the site shows it and parsed min / max / period / currency plus the yearly equivalent, posted date and "x days ago", the 1-Click Apply flag, listed benefits (medical, dental, 401k...), company highlights from employee reviews and the snippet. Optionally it also opens each job page for the full description, the employer's requisition id, original posting and expiry dates, occupation category and company facts (website, industries, size, headquarters, about).

No ZipRecruiter account, no cookies, no browser. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or use the API.

How to scrape ZipRecruiter jobs by keyword and location

1. Enter one or more Keywords (job title, skill or company) and a Location such as Houston, TX, Texas or a ZIP code like 10001. Leave the location empty for the whole US, or type Remote for remote jobs.
2. Optionally set filters: radius, posted within 1 / 5 / 10 / 30 days, employment type, experience level, remote / hybrid / on-site, minimum and maximum yearly salary, 1-Click Apply only.
3. Set Max jobs and run.

{
  "keywords": ["registered nurse", "lvn"],
  "location": "Houston, TX",
  "radius": 50,
  "postedWithin": "5",
  "employmentTypes": ["full_time", "part_time"],
  "maxItems": 500
}

You can also paste ZipRecruiter URLs into Start URLs: search pages with any filters you set on the site (https://www.ziprecruiter.com/jobs-search?search=...&location=..., also the /Jobs/<Keyword>/-in-<City>,<ST> pages), and single job pages, which are returned with full details:

How many jobs can I get per search?

ZipRecruiter itself lists only about 150 to 1,100 jobs for any one search (the "N jobs" number on the results page), even when far more ads match. When ZipRecruiter reports that it cut a search, Get more than ZipRecruiter lists per search (on by default) also runs narrower searches: by employment type, then experience level, then remote / hybrid / on-site, then posting date. Each one lists its own jobs, and repeats are dropped (never charged). In a test, "registered nurse" in Texas, which ZipRecruiter lists as 734 jobs, returned 3,000 distinct jobs (the run's limit) from 370 page requests. A search ZipRecruiter did not cut is simply read to the end.

Can I get the full job description and company details?

Yes. Turn on Include full job description. For each job the actor opens the public job page and adds the full description (plain text and HTML), the employer's requisition / reference id, the original posting date, the date the ad expires, the occupation category, and the company box: website, industries, size, headquarters and description. It is one extra request per job (a second, small one when ZipRecruiter has moved the job to a new link). Single job URLs in Start URLs always come with details. Apply links that ZipRecruiter hands out only through its apply flow, and anything that needs a ZipRecruiter login, are not collected.

Does it work without login? Is a proxy needed?

It works without any login or cookies: it reads the same public search and job pages you see in the browser. ZipRecruiter is protected by Cloudflare, so a proxy is needed. The default, Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy in the US, passed 92-93% of requests on the first try in our tests and 100% after the automatic retries on a new IP. Datacenter IPs work part of the time; if they get blocked the actor switches to residential IPs by itself.

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items to watch a search: each run remembers what earlier runs returned and outputs only jobs that are new or whose title or pay line changed. Unchanged jobs are dropped before any job page is opened, so they are not charged. Max jobs then sets how many jobs are checked per run; set Posted within to 1 day so the window holds the newest jobs. Save the input as a task and add a Schedule in Apify (for example daily); give each watch its own Monitoring key if several schedules use the same search. Every output item has changeType (new or changed), and changed jobs have previousValues with the old values, e.g. {"salaryText": "$75 - $150/hr"}.

Pricing

Pay per job: $0.0024 per job ($2.40 per 1,000). With Include full job description (or for a job URL) each job adds a $0.0008 detail event, so $3.20 per 1,000 jobs with descriptions and company facts. No start fee and no subscription.

Proxy note and cost

Residential proxy traffic and compute are billed by Apify on top of the per-job price (usage paid by you). Measured: a page of 20 jobs is about 40 KB of residential traffic, a job page with details about 30 KB. Platform usage was about $0.03 per 1,000 jobs for a plain search, about $0.055 per 1,000 when large searches are split (more pages repeat jobs), and about $0.27 per 1,000 jobs with details. Speed: about 25 jobs per second from search pages and 2-3 job pages per second with details.

Is it legal to scrape ZipRecruiter?

The actor reads only public job ads that anyone can open on ZipRecruiter without an account: what employers publish, company names, pay information and the company facts ZipRecruiter shows next to the ad. It does not log in and does not collect job seekers' data. Apply links and contact details that ZipRecruiter reveals only in its apply flow are not collected. You are responsible for using the data in line with ZipRecruiter's terms and the privacy laws that apply to you.
