Advanced Filters

what supports plain-text search, boolean logic, exact phrases, and field-targeted search. If no field is provided, the API expands the query across a default set of relevant job and content fields.

what = engineer OR manager
what = @title engineer OR manager
what = @(title,description) (python)
what = @(title,title_raw,description) (engineer OR manager)

Structured Filter Precedence

When what is provided together with structured job filters, the structured filters take priority and may override or narrow the keyword query. Use what when the corresponding structured fields are not set.

Location Filtering

The country is fixed. Use structured fields to narrow results within the United Kingdom:

• region
• city
• postal_code
• metro_area

Limits and Pagination

Results are paginated with page and size.

Parameter	Min	Max
page	0	Depends on size and the item cap
size	1	100

Invalid values can return 400 Invalid page or size parameters.

Item Caps

Query shape	Max items	Effective max size	Over-size behavior
No company filter	1000	100	Validation error; not silently capped
Company filter plus another keyword or filter	20	20	Silent cap with capping metadata
Company filter only	5	5	Silent cap with capping metadata

A company filter means company_name, company_domain, or a company field referenced inside what. Capped responses can include size_requested and size_capped_by metadata.

Free-Text Query Limits

what has a maximum of 700 raw URL characters or 500 decoded characters. Unsafe expressions, excessive operators, or malformed filters can return a 400 response.

Output

Each run stores job records in the default Apify dataset. Common fields include job title, category, company, structured location, salary, employment type, remote status, posting dates, source URL, application URL, description, and JobsIndex ID.

Field availability depends on the source job posting.
