⚙️ How to scrape Indeed jobs

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter a job title, skill, or company in query.
3. Add a location and choose the matching Indeed country.
4. Optionally filter by job type or posting age.
5. Keep includeDescription on for full descriptions, or turn it off for smaller summary rows.
6. Set a cost-safe maxItems value and click Start.

💵 How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

The Store price is $2.50 per 1,000 delivered jobs on the Free tier, with no Actor-start fee. A 100-row run costs about $0.25. Higher Apify plans receive volume discounts. You pay only for delivered rows, while Apify platform usage and residential proxy traffic are included in the event price.

Keep maxItems near the number you need. Turn off includeDescription when search-card summaries are sufficient, which reduces requests and run time without changing the per-row event.

🔁 Run it on the Apify platform

Start from one of the ready-made tasks, add a daily or weekly Schedule, consume results with the JavaScript or Python client, connect Make or Zapier, or receive a webhook when a run finishes. onlyNew is designed for recurring monitors and stores history separately for each search and filter combination.

• Software engineer jobs in Austin
• Remote Python jobs from the last 7 days
• Monitor new London data jobs

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• Indeed can rate-limit automated requests. The Actor uses a lightweight job-data API request through Apify residential proxy traffic and fails clearly when the source is unavailable.
• Salary, industry, company size, revenue, and logos are optional source fields. Missing values remain null.
• Search ranking and result availability vary by country, location, time, and Indeed experiments.
• Data collection must remain proportionate. Avoid unlimited runs unless you have verified the target volume and cost.

❓ FAQ

Is this an official Indeed API?

No. It is an independent scraper for public listing pages and provides an API-shaped dataset through Apify.

Can it monitor only newly posted jobs?

Yes. Save an Apify Task with onlyNew: true and run it on a schedule. The first run returns matching jobs; later runs skip IDs already emitted for that same configuration.

Why is a salary field null?

Many employers do not publish compensation. The Actor returns structured pay only when the source provides it and does not manufacture estimates.

Is scraping Indeed legal?

Use this Actor only for lawful purposes and public data you are permitted to process. Follow Indeed's terms, Apify's terms, applicable privacy and data-protection law, and the rules governing your organization and location. Job descriptions can contain personal data, so establish a lawful purpose and retention policy before processing at scale. Consult qualified counsel when unsure.

🛠️ Support

When reporting a problem, include the Apify run URL, redacted input, affected Indeed country, expected behavior, and one example public URL. Use the Actor's Issues tab so failures can be reproduced without exposing credentials.
