Naukri Jobs Scraper — India & Gulf

Scrape jobs from Naukri.com (India) and Naukrigulf.com (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the wider Gulf). Search by keyword, city, job URL, or job ID. Get titles, companies, experience, salaries, skills, and descriptions in one schema — ready for Sheets, a database, or an AI workflow. No Naukri account or API key.

What does Naukri Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor reads public job posts and returns one structured row per job. Use it as a Naukri API alternative and a Naukrigulf scraper for recruiting, hiring-market research, and lead lists of companies that are hiring.

A listing row is the search result: title, company, location, experience, skills, and a short description. A detail row replaces it when you want the full description, education, company profile, published salary, Naukri AmbitionBox ratings, or Naukrigulf compensation. You choose that per run, so a broad search stays cheap.

Provide a keyword, extra cities, start URLs, or job IDs. Duplicate jobs are stored once. Set maximumJobs to cap the run.

Who is it for?

• Recruiters and talent teams — Build sourced lists for India and Gulf roles without copying from the browser.
• HR and talent intelligence — Track which companies are hiring, for which titles, and at what published experience.
• Staffing agencies — Watch a keyword or city and collect only jobs that appeared or changed since yesterday.
• Sales teams — Find companies hiring for a tool or skill, then export the company name and job link.
• Analysts and AI workflows — Feed clean JSON into Sheets, a warehouse, or an agent. Compact mode keeps the short row.

Why scrape Naukri and Naukrigulf?

• Both boards, one schema — India and the Gulf in the same fields. Run one board or both.
• No login — Public job pages only. No Naukri or Naukrigulf account.
• Pay for the depth you use — Listing rows for discovery. Detail rows only when you need the full text.
• Salary and skills — Experience range, skill list, and salary when the employer published them. Hidden salaries stay marked hidden.
• AmbitionBox on Naukri details — Rating, review count, role salary range, and benefits from the job payload. No separate AmbitionBox crawl.
• Job monitoring — Schedule a run and pay later cycles only for new and updated jobs.
• Apify platform — Schedule, API, webhooks, and Zapier, Make, or n8n. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

How to scrape Naukri jobs

1. Open Naukri Jobs Scraper on Apify and click Try for free.
2. For Gulf jobs, set the board to Naukrigulf, a keyword such as software engineer, and a city such as dubai.
3. For India, set the board to Naukri and a keyword such as developer. Leave location empty.
4. Set Maximum jobs. Start with 20 while you check the rows.
5. Turn on Fetch job details only when you need the full description, salary block, or AmbitionBox.
6. Click Start. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or send the dataset to an integration.

No code is required in Console. Developers can use the API tab or apify call.

How much does it cost to scrape Naukri jobs?

Pricing is pay-per-event. You pay for rows you actually receive. There is no monthly fee from this Actor.

Event	Free / no discount	What you pay for
Job listing	$0.001 / job ($1.00 / 1,000)	A search-result row
Job detail	$0.0025 / job ($2.50 / 1,000)	A full row. Replaces the listing charge for that job
Contact found	$0.002 / contact ($2.00 / 1,000)	Only when you opt in and a name, email, or phone is present

Volume discounts on higher Apify plans:

Plan	Listing / 1,000	Detail / 1,000	Contact / 1,000
No discount (Free)	$1.00	$2.50	$2.00
Bronze	$0.80	$2.00	$2.00
Silver	$0.70	$1.80	$2.00
Gold	$0.60	$1.50	$2.00

Example (Free plan): 50 Dubai listing rows ≈ 50 × $0.001 = $0.05. The same 50 jobs with details ≈ $0.125.

Duplicates, blocked pages, empty searches, and unchanged monitored jobs are not charged. Apify compute and proxy are billed by the platform separately.

Put these prices in Console Publishing → Monetization before the Actor is public. job-listing is the primary event. Do not also enable the default dataset-item charge, or every row is billed twice.

Input

See the Input tab for the form.

Field	Default	Notes
platform	naukri	naukri, naukrigulf, or both. An empty run uses Naukrigulf
searchQuery	—	One keyword, such as software engineer or nurse
searchQueries	—	Several keywords. Replaces the single query. Results are deduplicated
location / cities	—	Naukrigulf cities (dubai, abu dhabi, riyadh, doha). Each extra city is its own search
startUrls	—	A Naukrigulf jobs URL, a jid- job URL, or a Naukri job-listings URL
jobIds	—	Job IDs or job URLs. Always fetched as detail rows. Overrides search
maximumJobs	100	Cap for the whole run. The empty sample run saves 5
fetchDetails	false	Full description, education, company profile, salary, AmbitionBox
includeContacts	false	Recruiter contact published on the job. Off by default. Billed separately
descriptionFormat	text	text, html, markdown, or all from the same HTML
outputMode	full	compact keeps title, company, city, experience, salary label, skills, and date
incremental	false	Later runs bill only new and updated jobs
proxyConfiguration	Residential	India for Naukri, UAE for Naukrigulf, unless you set a country

Tips

• Job IDs win over pasted URLs, and pasted URLs win over keywords.
• A Naukri search with a city is skipped. Naukri does not offer that filter yet, and the Actor will not silently return all of India.
• keyword, limit, maxItems, and jobBoard are accepted as aliases for older inputs. The field on this form wins when both are set.

Output

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Example listing row from a Dubai software-engineer search:

{
  "source": "naukrigulf",
  "jobId": "071026000143",
  "url": "https://www.naukrigulf.com/senior-full-stack-software-engineer-jobs-in-dubai-uae-in-dicetek-llc-8-to-12-years-m-cd-41691-jid-071026000143",
  "title": "Senior Full Stack Software Engineer",
  "detailLevel": "listing",
  "company": { "id": "41691", "name": "Dicetek LLC" },
  "location": { "cities": ["Dubai"], "country": "United Arab Emirates", "raw": "Dubai - United Arab Emirates (UAE)" },
  "experience": { "min": 8, "max": 12, "text": "8-12" },
  "skills": { "all": ["REST APIs", "Java", "Spring Boot"] },
  "postedAt": "2026-10-07T04:00:00.000Z"
}

Turn on Fetch job details for the full description, salary.isHidden, currency, education, and company text. Naukri detail rows add AmbitionBox rating, benefits, and role salary when the job page includes them.

compact mode keeps source, jobId, url, title, company.name, location.cities, workMode, experience.text, salary.label, skills.all, and postedAt.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the run key-value store reports how many rows were saved, how many were details, and whether the run was empty, partial, or blocked.

Tips for better runs

• Start with maximumJobs of 20 and listing rows. Turn on details after the titles look right.
• Use Naukrigulf plus a city when the brief is Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, or Doha.
• Use several searchQueries for a family of titles (data analyst, business analyst) instead of one vague word.
• Schedule a daily run with Only new and updated jobs for a hiring watch. The first run is the baseline and is billed in full. The next run bills the jobs that are new or whose title, company, salary, experience, location, or description changed.
• Paste a job URL when you already have the posting and only want that row.

For developers and AI agents

Smallest Gulf search:

{ "platform": "naukrigulf", "searchQuery": "software engineer", "location": "dubai", "maximumJobs": 20 }

India keyword, listing only:

{ "platform": "naukri", "searchQuery": "developer", "maximumJobs": 20 }

One known job:

{ "platform": "naukrigulf", "jobIds": ["071026000143"] }

Add "outputMode": "compact" when the short row is enough. Leave includeContacts false unless the task asks for recruiter details.

Limitations

• Naukri city, freshness, salary band, and experience filters are not available yet. Search Naukri by keyword. Filter Gulf jobs by city.
• Naukri returns at most 3,000 jobs per keyword (150 pages). Raise maximumJobs only up to what you need.
• Salaries are often hidden, especially on Naukri. The row says isHidden: true instead of inventing a number.
• Naukri detail rows need a short session warmup. If a detail page is blocked, the listing row is still saved and the block is counted in the run summary.
• Arabic job text is not a separate output. Gulf pages are returned as published.
• Company overview URLs are skipped with a log line. Use a keyword or a job URL.
• Recruiter emails are not guessed from company websites.

FAQ

Is this a Naukri API?

It is an API alternative. You get structured Naukri and Naukrigulf jobs through Apify Console, the REST API, or an integration, without a Naukri developer account. It is not an official Naukri or Info Edge API.

Do I need a Naukri account?

No. The Actor reads public job listings only.

Can I scrape Naukri jobs in Bangalore?

Not by city. A Naukri keyword search covers India and does not accept a location filter yet. For Dubai and other Gulf cities, set the board to Naukrigulf and fill Location.

How do I get salary, description, and AmbitionBox data?

Turn on Fetch job details. AmbitionBox rating, benefits, and role salary are included when Naukri puts them on the job. They are not a second website crawl. If the employer hid the salary, salary.isHidden is true.

Can I extract recruiter emails from Naukri?

Only when you turn on Include recruiter contacts, and only if the employer published a name, email, or phone on that job. The field is absent otherwise, including as an empty placeholder. Those rows are billed as contact-found. Do not enable this without a lawful reason.

How do I monitor new Naukri or Naukrigulf jobs?

Turn on Only new and updated jobs and keep the same search and State key. Day one stores the baseline. Later scheduled runs return and charge the new and changed jobs.

Can one run cover India and the Gulf?

Yes. Set the board to Both. Use a location only if you accept that the Naukri half is skipped when a city is set. For both boards with a city, run Naukri by keyword in one task and Naukrigulf with a city in another.

What if the dataset is empty?

If the board returned a normal empty page, the run succeeds and the summary says VALID_EMPTY. Widen the keyword or confirm the search in a browser. A blocked run with zero rows fails and the summary says why.
