Built for recruiters, job boards, labor-market analysts, staffing agencies, HR tech teams, and anyone tired of manually copying Naukri search results.

⚙️ Three ways to run it

1. Keyword search

Use keyword when you want to search Naukri from scratch.

2. Search URL

Paste the Naukri URL from your browser after you choose filters on the site. This is the easiest way to reproduce a real Naukri search.

3. Direct job IDs

Use jobIds when you already have specific Naukri job IDs and want detail records only.

Precedence is simple: jobIds wins over searchUrl, and searchUrl wins over keyword.

💡 Pro tip: use a browser once to build the exact filtered Naukri URL you want, paste that into searchUrl, and let the actor paginate it.

🛡️ How it stays fast and unblocked

Naukri is protected by Akamai-style bot checks. Basic Python requests often fail before the page content even matters. This actor uses:

• curl_cffi with Chrome TLS impersonation so the handshake looks browser-like
• Residential India proxy by default for better Naukri access
• Session rotation on retries to avoid reusing bad state
• Separate retry handling for proxy failures, bot blocks, and normal transient errors
• Internal Naukri job endpoints instead of a heavy browser
• No Playwright, no Chromium, no Selenium

Default memory is modest because the actor does not need a headless browser.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Naukri API key?
No. The actor reads public Naukri job data exposed through Naukri's web endpoints.

Q: What is the difference between standard and detailed mode?
Standard mode is faster and returns search-card fields. Detailed mode makes extra requests and adds description, skills, education, company profile, and richer AmbitionBox data.

Q: Why is maxJobs minimum 50?
The actor uses Naukri pagination in batches. Small tests still work with maxJobs: 50; just stop reading after the rows you need.

Q: Can I use a full Naukri URL?
Yes. Paste the search results URL into searchUrl. Manual filters are ignored when searchUrl is set, except sortBy, which is layered on top.

Q: Why are some company/benefit fields empty?
Naukri and AmbitionBox do not expose those fields for every employer. Empty values mean the data was not public in that response.

Q: What proxy should I use?
Indian residential proxy is the safest default.
