Why this scraper?

🔍 Keyword + Location Search

Search by any job title, skill, or keyword and optionally narrow results to a specific Indian city or region — Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and more.

💰 Salary Data Included

Shine.com publishes salary ranges for many listings. The scraper returns both the raw salary string and parsed numeric min/max values (in INR) and period (monthly/annual).

📋 Full Job Descriptions

Every listing includes the complete HTML job description, plain text version, and Markdown-formatted version — ready for NLP pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, or structured analysis.

📅 Freshness Filtering

Use the daysOld parameter to limit results to jobs posted within the last N days — ideal for daily monitoring feeds.

♻️ Cross-Run Deduplication

The skipReposts option tracks jobs already seen across previous runs (90-day TTL) and skips them — eliminating duplicate processing costs.

🔗 Custom Start URLs

Supply your own Shine.com job-search URLs directly to scrape any combination of keyword and location.

Known limitations

• Shine.com is India-focused. Listings are predominantly for the Indian market.
• Salary data is only available for listings where the employer has disclosed it.
• Individual recruiter contact details (email, phone) are excluded from output per privacy policy.
• The daysOld filter uses the job's posting timestamp and may include pinned/featured jobs with refreshed dates.
• workMode reflects the platform's own classification (jWM field); the majority of listings are On-site. Use employmentType: "Work from Home" to filter remote roles.
