⚠️ Indeed blocks datacenter IPs — read this

Indeed runs aggressive bot detection on all datacenter / cloud IPs (AWS, GCP, Azure, Apify default). If you run this Actor without proxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"], you'll likely get HTTP 403 or 0 results.

Fix: in your input, set:

{ "proxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }

Apify Proxy's residential pool routes through real consumer ISPs, which Indeed treats normally. Free Apify accounts get a small residential proxy allotment per month — enough for hundreds of small runs.

This is Indeed's policy, not an Actor bug.

🛠️ How it works

Indeed deprecated their public RSS in most regions, so this Actor:

1. Routes through your chosen Apify proxy
2. Hits the regional Indeed search HTML (https://<country>.indeed.com/jobs?q=…&l=…)
3. Parses the job_seen_beacon cards into structured rows
4. Paginates start=10, 20, 30, … until cap or no more results

Polite 2-3.5 sec sleep between pages to avoid extra throttling.
