Indeed Jobs Scraper

Search Indeed by keyword and location and get clean, structured job listings — job title, company, salary range, company rating, location, remote flag, and posting date — with an option to pull the full job description for every result. No account, no login, no API key.

Why use this actor

• Keyword + location search, just like using Indeed itself (the "what" and "where" boxes).
• 17 country sites supported — United States, UK, Canada, Australia, India, Germany, France, and more.
• Real salary data — where Indeed shows an actual employer-provided pay range, you get the exact numbers (salaryMin / salaryMax) plus whether it's a real posted salary or an estimate.
• Full job descriptions on demand — flip one switch to get the complete description, benefits list, and salary text for each job.
• Company signals — rating, review count, and remote flag on every listing.
• Clean JSON output, ready for spreadsheets, databases, or your own pipelines.
• Nothing fails silently — if a search returns nothing, you get a clear reason, not an empty file.

How it works

1. You enter a search keyword, a location, and pick the country site.
2. The actor runs that search on Indeed and reads the job listings.
3. Optionally, it opens each job to add the full description, benefits, and salary text.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't manage any of the fetching, retries, or blocking — just describe the search you want.

Important: how many results you get per search

Indeed shows search results as pages, but for visitors who are not signed in, only the first page of a search is publicly available — trying to open page 2 sends you to a sign-in screen. This is Indeed's own limit, not the actor's.

What this means for you: each search returns the first page of results (about 24 jobs) for that exact query. The actor detects the sign-in wall and stops cleanly — it never crashes or loops.

How to get more jobs: run narrower searches instead of trying to page deeper. For example:

• Add a date filter (fromage) like "last 3 days" to keep pulling fresh listings over time.
• Use a tighter location plus a radius (e.g. a specific city + 25 miles).
• Use more specific keywords (e.g. "senior react developer" instead of "engineer").
• Split one broad search into several focused ones and combine the results.

The number of total matches Indeed reports for your search is included in every record as searchTotalJobCount, so you always know how big the full pool is.

Input

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "New York",
  "country": "us",
  "fromage": 7,
  "radius": 25,
  "fetchDetail": true,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "maxConcurrency": 4,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Field	Type	Description
query	string	Search keywords — job title, skill, or company (the Indeed "what" box).
location	string	City, state, postal code, or region (the Indeed "where" box). Leave empty to search the whole country.
country	string	Which Indeed country site to search: us, uk, ca, au, in, ie, de, fr, es, it, nl, za, sg, nz, br, mx, ph. Default us.
fromage	integer	Only return jobs posted within this many days (e.g. 1, 3, 7, 14). Optional.
radius	integer	Distance around the location to include, e.g. 25. Optional.
fetchDetail	boolean	If true, opens each job to add the full description, benefits, and salary text. Slower but richer. Default false.
maxItems	integer	Overall cap on jobs returned. 0 = all available on the first results page. Default 50.
maxConcurrency	integer	How many job pages to open in parallel when fetchDetail is on. Default 4.
proxyConfiguration	object	Residential proxy strongly recommended. If you don't set a country here, it's matched automatically to the country you chose.

Output

One record per job. Below is a real record captured from the search software engineer in New York (US) — with fetchDetail off:

{
  "_input": "software engineer @ New York (us)",
  "_source": "S1-jobcards",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T11:53:50Z",
  "recordType": "JOB",
  "jobkey": "c886fc9e763b5619",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=c886fc9e763b5619",
  "positionName": "Java Lead Software Engineer",
  "company": "JPMorganChase",
  "location": "New York, NY 10001",
  "isRemote": false,
  "salaryMin": 152000,
  "salaryMax": 215000,
  "salaryType": "YEARLY",
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",
  "salaryText": "$152,000 - $215,000 a year",
  "salarySource": "EXTRACTION",

  "searchQuery": "software engineer",
  "searchLocation": "New York",
  "searchCountry": "us",
  "searchTotalJobCount": 2277
}

When fetchDetail is true, each record also gets the full job content (real values from the same job):

{
  "_source": "S1-jobcards+S2-viewjob",
  "detailCompanyName": "JPMorganChase",
  "detailJobTitle": "Java Lead Software Engineer",
  "descriptionText": "JOB DESCRIPTION\n\nWe have an opportunity to impact your career and provide an adventure where you can push the limits of what's possible.\n\nAs a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Trust and Sec... (full text continues)",
  "descriptionHtml": "<div><b>JOB DESCRIPTION</b> ... </div>",
  "detailBenefits": [
    { "key": "HJUWZ", "label": "Tuition reimbursement" },
    { "key": "EY33Q", "label": "Health insurance" }
  ],
  "detailSalaryText": "$152,000 - $215,000 a year",
  "datePublished": null
}

Output fields

Field	Type	Description

salarySource	string	EXTRACTION = employer-provided real salary; ESTIMATION = Indeed estimate.
companyRating	number	Company rating (out of 5), if available.

pubDate	number	Posting date (Unix milliseconds).

datePublished	number	Publish date from the job page, when present. (only with fetchDetail)

Every job also carries all of Indeed's original listing fields verbatim (company review link, job type tags, location details, and more) alongside the friendly fields above, so nothing is lost.

Searches that return nothing (or are stopped by the sign-in wall on page 1) produce a record with an _error field instead of job data — so a run never fails silently.

Notes

• Pick the country that matches your location — search london with country: "uk", toronto with country: "ca", and so on.
• salarySource matters — EXTRACTION is a real employer salary; ESTIMATION is an Indeed estimate. Filter on this if you only want confirmed pay.
• Each search returns Indeed's first results page (about 24 jobs). Use fromage, radius, and more specific keywords to cover more ground — see "how many results you get per search" above.
• Residential proxy is recommended, especially for non-US country sites.
