What does Indeed Job Listing do?

Indeed Job Listing is a TrueFetch Actor and Indeed jobs API for collecting public vacancy data from one selected country at a time. Give it a keyword, country, and result limit; optionally add a location, distance, work-mode or job-type filter, posting-time filter, or salary currency. Each accepted listing is delivered through one stable Dataset structure.

Indeed's official search guidance confirms that keywords, locations, job types, remote settings, and date filters influence its search results.

The Actor is useful when a team needs source-attributed job data without maintaining a separate integration for every Indeed market. A result can include the listing URL, employer application URL, role description, location, work mode, dates, salary, company profile details, and public contact signals when Indeed or the employer publishes them.

Indeed Job Listing is independent of Indeed and is not an official Indeed API. It does not submit applications, collect resumes, rank candidates, access private accounts, or guarantee that every optional field is available. Search relevance and listing availability remain source-dependent.

How do I run Indeed Job Listing?

1. Open Indeed Job Listing on Apify.
2. Enter the required keyword, country, and max_results values.
3. Add only the optional filters that match the search you actually want.
4. Start with one result, inspect the Dataset item, and then increase volume.

This README uses one scenario throughout: search for one remote, full-time Data Engineer role in Germany, centered on Berlin, and convert usable salary values to EUR.

{
  "keyword": "Data Engineer",
  "country": "Germany",
  "max_results": 1,
  "remote_only": true,
  "job_type": "fulltime",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "distance": 50,
  "currency": "EUR"
}

max_results is the maximum number of Indeed jobs published by this single-platform run. It is not a promise that the source will have that many relevant, accessible listings.

What data does Indeed Job Listing return?

The default Dataset exposes 41 fields. Values that Indeed or an employer does not publish remain empty rather than being inferred.

Field group	Fields
Processing	processor, processed_at
Source and application	platform, platform_url, official_url, easy_apply
Role details	title, description, job_type, job_level, job_function, listing_type, skills, experience_range
Location and work mode	location, is_remote, work_mode
Dates and volume	posted_date, valid_through, applicant_count, vacancy_count
Compensation	salary_minimum, salary_maximum, salary_currency, salary_period
Company	company_name, company_type, company_founded, company_industry, company_url, company_website, company_logo, company_addresses, company_revenue, company_description, company_rating, employee_count, review_count
Public contacts	emails, phones, social_links

This abbreviated, illustrative item uses the same Berlin Data Engineer scenario:

{
  "platform": "Indeed",
  "platform_url": "https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=example123",
  "official_url": "https://careers.example.com/jobs/data-engineer",
  "title": "Data Engineer",
  "company_name": "Example Data GmbH",
  "location": {
    "raw": "Berlin, Germany",
    "locality": "Berlin",
    "region": "Berlin",
    "country": "Germany",
    "country_code": "DE"
  },
  "is_remote": true,
  "job_type": "fulltime",
  "salary_minimum": 70000,
  "salary_maximum": 90000,
  "salary_currency": "EUR",
  "emails": [],

  "processor": "https://apify.com/truefetch/indeed-job-listing",
  "processed_at": "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z"
}

See the live Output schema for field types and examples.

What inputs can I configure?

Indeed Job Listing exposes 9 public inputs in schema order, with 3 required and the rest optional.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
max_results	integer	Yes	Maximum number of normalized Indeed listings to return.	5
keyword	string	Yes	Job title, skill, or company query for Indeed.	Nurse
country	select	Yes	Country for the Indeed regional search.	Australia
location	string	No	City, area, or postal code for Indeed.	—
posted_since	date	No	Earliest posting date where Indeed accepts the filter.	—
remote_only	boolean	No	Return remote roles where Indeed accepts the filter.	—
distance	integer	No	Radius in miles around the location sent to Indeed.	—
job_type	select	No	Employment type filter accepted by Indeed.	—
currency	select	No	Target currency for converting salary amounts returned by Indeed.	—

country has 62 accepted values; job_type has 5 accepted values; currency has 166 accepted values. Optional fields have no request effect when omitted; use the live Input schema for types and accepted values.

What platforms and markets does Indeed Job Listing cover?

Indeed Job Listing covers one selected country per run, with optional location and source-supported filters.

The country selector contains 62 values: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czechia, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam.

Coverage states where the Actor can form a request; live inventory, relevance, language, and optional field availability still come from the selected public source.

Why use Indeed Job Listing?

Capability	Practical benefit
One Indeed-focused request	Keep the workflow narrow when a multi-board search is unnecessary.
One normalized 41-field schema	Load repeat runs into analytics, databases, alerts, or AI tools without remapping columns.
Source and official URLs	Review the Indeed listing and employer destination separately when both exist.
Optional country-wide or local search	Compare a national market or focus on a city and radius without inventing a location.
Salary conversion	Normalize populated numeric salaries into a chosen currency when exchange-rate data is available.
Low-volume first test	Verify relevance and field coverage before increasing result volume.

The main trade-off is source depth versus breadth: this Actor focuses on Indeed and preserves its source behavior. Choose a multi-platform Actor if coverage across several job boards matters more than a single-source workflow.

Who is Indeed Job Listing for?

Team	Typical use
Developers	Add Indeed vacancy search to a product, internal tool, or alerting workflow.
Data engineers	Collect repeatable, source-attributed records for a warehouse or pipeline.
Labor-market researchers	Compare role demand, work mode, and populated salary ranges across countries.
Recruiting operations	Monitor current openings by title, employer, and location.
Sales intelligence teams	Treat public hiring activity as one optional company signal.

The Actor is a poor fit for candidate sourcing, resume extraction, automated applications, guaranteed salary coverage, or historical vacancy archives. Those goals require different data and user permissions.

How can I use Indeed Job Listing through the API or MCP?

The public Actor ID is dJWj757pVx5untEuq; the name form truefetch/indeed-job-listing is also accepted. This synchronous HTTP request runs the one-result Berlin scenario and returns Dataset items directly:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dJWj757pVx5untEuq/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "keyword": "Data Engineer",
    "country": "Germany",
    "max_results": 1,
    "remote_only": true,
    "job_type": "fulltime",
    "location": "Berlin",
    "distance": 50,
    "currency": "EUR"
  }'

For MCP clients, this Streamable HTTP configuration follows the current Apify MCP documentation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=truefetch/indeed-job-listing",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

After connecting, ask for the same Berlin Data Engineer search. Use the API page for asynchronous runs, SDK snippets, and OpenAPI details.

How much does Indeed Job Listing cost?

Indeed Job Listing costs $0.00375 per Result on FREE plus $0.01000 per minimum Actor Start event, so the smallest one-result test totals $0.01375.

Apify tier	Actor Start	Per Result
FREE	$0.01000	$0.00375
BRONZE	$0.01000	$0.00338
SILVER	$0.01000	$0.00300
GOLD	$0.01000	$0.00281
PLATINUM	$0.01000	$0.00281
DIAMOND	$0.01000	$0.00281

Result is billed once for each item written to the default Dataset. Actor Start event count depends on selected memory, with a minimum of one event.

Smallest useful test: $0.01000 + 1 × $0.00375 = $0.01375 on FREE when one item is published. A zero-result run can still incur Actor Start. Prices can change; check live pricing before scheduling volume.

How does Indeed Job Listing compare with alternatives?

Decision factor	Indeed Job Listing	Multi-board Job Search	Manual or custom integration
Source scope	Indeed only	Several compatible job boards	Team-defined
Output	Normalized 41-field job record	Same normalized family across sources	Whatever the team designs
Best first test	One keyword, country, and result	One platform among many	Requires the integration to be ready
Source-specific focus	Strong	Balanced against cross-board consistency	Potentially deepest with ongoing ownership
Maintenance	Managed Actor	Managed Actor	Team owns failures, changes, and normalization

Choose Indeed Job Listing when Indeed is the required source and a narrow contract is valuable. Choose Job Search when several boards or market-specific alternatives should be searched through one request.

What are the limits and troubleshooting steps?

Symptom or limit	Explanation	Next step
Fewer jobs than requested	max_results is a cap, while availability and relevance come from Indeed.	Broaden the keyword, location, or distance and test again.
Remote or job type seems ignored	A supplied posted_since filter takes precedence in the Indeed request.	Use recency alone, or omit it and use remote/job type.
Location is rejected	The location must normalize within the selected country.	Use a clear city, region, or postcode that matches the country.
Salary remains empty	Many employers do not publish numeric compensation.	Keep salary nullable and do not infer missing values.
Salary is not converted	Conversion needs numeric salary, a source currency, and available exchange-rate data.	Compare only populated converted records.
Official URL is empty	Some listings do not expose a separate employer application destination.	Retain platform_url as the source record.
No results are published	The source may have no accessible relevant listing for the request.	Retry the smallest reproducible input with one broad keyword and max_results: 1.

When opening an Apify Issue, include the run URL, country, keyword, and expected behavior. Never include an API token or private data.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use indeed job listings api without indeed publisher access?

Yes. Indeed Job Listing runs on Apify without asking for a source-site publisher credential; an Apify account and token are still required for authenticated API or MCP calls.

How do I get indeed jobs by keyword and country?

Set keyword, country, and max_results, then add only the optional fields present in this Actor's input table. Results are capped by source availability and relevance.

Does Indeed Job Listing require a source-site login?

No source-site username, password, cookie, or API key appears in the public input. The Actor collects accessible public listings independently of the source.

Why are salary, company, applicant, or contact values empty?

Those values are nullable because public listings do not expose the same detail. Empty means unavailable from the collected source, not zero or false.

Is there a free jobs API?

Apify accounts include platform usage under the current Apify plan, while this Actor bills Actor Start and Result events. Use the one-result calculation in Pricing to evaluate the smallest test.

Can I schedule runs to monitor Indeed job listings over time?

Yes. Test a small input first, then use Apify schedules and webhooks. Preserve processed_at and source URLs because listings can change, close, or reappear.

How is billing counted for Indeed Job Listing?

Billing uses Actor Start events and one Result event per default Dataset item. A requested result limit is a cap, not a prepaid bundle or a guarantee of source inventory.
