## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Jobs Scraper

Google Jobs Scraper **extracts job listings from Google Jobs** — title, company, location, posting date, salary, employment type, description, and every apply link — and downloads them as **JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML**. It runs in the cloud, needs no coding, and **no login or API key**.

Try it right away: type the roles you're searching for and where, click **Start**, and watch the dataset fill up with structured job data.

### What data does it extract?

Each result is **one job listing**:

| Data | Details |
|---|---|
| 💼 **Job** | title, employment type, posting date and "time ago", and whether it's remote |
| 🏢 **Company** | nested `company` object: name and logo |
| 📍 **Location** | where the job is based, as shown by Google |
| 🔗 **Source** | the job board the listing was aggregated from (e.g. LinkedIn, Indeed) |
| 💰 **Salary** | pay or salary range, when one is shown |
| 📝 **Description** | the job description text shown on the card |
| 🚪 **Apply options** | every place you can apply — label and outbound URL |

### How do I scrape Google jobs?

1. **Say what you want** — add one or more *Search queries* (a job title or skill) and a *Location*.
2. **Narrow it down** *(optional)* — filter by employment type, date posted, and remote-only.
3. **Pick a country** — the country/region to search. Set it to match your Location.
4. **Set how many** — choose *Maximum jobs*, or use `0` for no limit.
5. **Click Start** — then download the results from the **Storage** tab in any format, or send them anywhere with integrations.

### Input example

```json
{
    "queries": ["software engineer", "data scientist"],
    "location": "New York, United States",
    "country": "us",
    "language": "en",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "jobType": "fulltime",
    "datePosted": "pastWeek",
    "remote": false
}
````

### Output example

```json
{
    "id": "go-rRRkq2ZVLnG404rgAAAAAA==",
    "query": "software engineer",
    "title": "Embedded Software Engineer",
    "company": {
        "name": "ALTEN",
        "logo": "https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=…"
    },
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "source": "Indeed",
    "postedAt": "4 days ago",
    "postedDate": "2026-06-11",
    "employmentType": "Full-time",
    "salary": null,
    "remote": false,
    "description": "Company Description ALTEN is a global engineering and technology consultancy…",
    "applyOptions": [
        { "title": "Apply directly on Indeed", "link": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=…" }
    ]
}
```

### Input reference

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array | Job titles or skills to search for. Each is searched on its own. **Required.** |
| `location` | string | City, region, or country to search in. |
| `country` | string | Country/region to search (ISO-2). Set it to match your Location. Default `us`. |
| `language` | string | 2-letter language code for the results. Default `en`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Total jobs to return across all queries. `0` = no limit. Default `50`. |
| `jobType` | string | One of `fulltime`, `parttime`, `internship`, `contract`. |
| `datePosted` | string | `any`, `past24h`, `past3Days`, `pastWeek`, or `pastMonth`. Default `any`. |
| `remote` | boolean | Return only remote / work-from-home jobs. Default `false`. |

### Why scrape Google jobs?

- **Job-market research** — track demand for roles, skills, and titles across regions.
- **Aggregation** — Google Jobs pools postings from many boards, so one search spans LinkedIn, Indeed, and more.
- **Recruiting & sourcing** — monitor who's hiring and where.
- **Salary benchmarking** — gather pay ranges where they're disclosed.

### Pricing

This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: a small fee when a run starts, plus a fee per job delivered. You only pay for the listings you actually receive — set *Maximum jobs* to control your spend.

### Notes

- Runs through Apify Proxy automatically for reliable scraping — no proxy setup needed on your end.
- Uses **public** Google job results — the same data anyone can see. It does not log in or access private data.
- Job coverage depends on what Google shows for each search and region; some regions (e.g. the EU) don't surface job results.
- Make sure your use of the data complies with Google's terms and applicable laws.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Job titles, skills, or roles to search for — exactly what you'd type into Google's job search box (e.g. <code>software engineer</code>, <code>registered nurse</code>, <code>product manager</code>). Each query is searched on its own.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, region, or country to search in (e.g. <code>New York</code>, <code>London</code>, <code>Remote</code>). Appended to each query as "… near \<location>". Leave empty to let Google decide from the country.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which country/region to search from. Set this to match your Location. <b>Note:</b> Google does not surface job results in some regions, including the EU.

## `language` (type: `string`):

2-letter language code for the results (e.g. <code>en</code>, <code>fr</code>, <code>es</code>).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

How many job listings to return in total (across all queries). Use <code>0</code> for no limit.

## `jobType` (type: `string`):

Restrict results to a single employment type. Leave empty to include all types.

## `datePosted` (type: `string`):

Only return jobs posted within this time window.

## `remote` (type: `boolean`):

Only return remote / work-from-home jobs.
