## 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).

### What does Indeed Job Scraper do?

Indeed Job Scraper extracts structured job data from [indeed.com](https://indeed.com) across 62 country markets — including job titles, companies, locations, salary data, apply URLs, full descriptions, company metadata, company ratings and reviews, remote-work indicators, and change tracking fields. It supports keyword search, location filters, country selection, result limits, detail enrichment, company profiles, notifications, compact output, and incremental monitoring, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

**New to Apify?** [Sign up free](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi&fp_sid=ctaplain) and use the included $5 monthly platform credit to test this actor.

### Key features

<!-- KEY_FEATURES:START -->
- **🌎 62-market coverage** — one actor scrapes `indeed.com` across all 62 country markets (the US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, India, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and 52 more), not just a single region.
- **⚡ Fast SERP mode by default** — small searches return quickly with core listing fields, while `includeDetails` enables full descriptions and enrichment fields when needed.
- **♻️ Incremental monitoring** — recurring runs can emit only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED records, with opt-in unchanged or expired records for full lifecycle tracking.
- **📋 Detail and company enrichment** — fetch full job descriptions, salary fields, requirements, benefits, apply links, company ratings, and company profile fields where available.
- **🔔 Notifications and webhooks** — send job alerts to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, or a generic webhook, with change-only notifications for monitoring workflows.
- **📦 AI-ready output controls** — compact mode, description length limits, single-format descriptions, and empty-field exclusion keep payloads manageable for agents and automation.
- **🔌 MCP connectors** — export your jobs straight into Notion (or another connected app) via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI.
<!-- KEY_FEATURES:END -->

### What data can you extract from indeed.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (`jobId`, `jobKey`, `title`, `location`, `salaryText`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, and `salaryCurrency`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, `descriptionLength`, and `benefits`), apply information (`applyUrl`, `indeedApplyKey`, `isEasyApply`, and `applyScopes`), and company metadata (`company`, `companyUrl`, `companyRating`, and `companyReviewsCount`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company profiles where the source provides them.

### Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

- **`query`** — Job search keywords. Single string or JSON array for multi-query (e.g. ["software engineer", "data analyst"]). Required unless startUrls is provided.
- **`country`** — Which Indeed domain to search (62 markets). Major markets (US, UK, DE, FR, etc.) are well-tested. Smaller markets are config-supported but listing volume varies. (default: `"US"`)
- **`location`** — City, state, or region to search within. Single string or JSON array for multi-location (e.g. ["New York", "San Francisco"]). Leave empty for nationwide results.
- **`startUrls`** — Direct Indeed search or job detail URLs. Use instead of or alongside query. Accepts search pages (indeed.com/jobs?q=...) and job pages (indeed.com/viewjob?jk=...).
- **`maxResults`** — Maximum total job listings to return across all search sources. Set 0 for unlimited (best-effort). (default: `5`)
- **`postedDays`** — Only return jobs posted within this many days. Automatically snapped to nearest valid value: 1, 3, 7, or 14.
- **`remoteFilter`** — Filter jobs by remote work availability.
- **`jobType`** — Filter by employment type.
- **`radius`** — Search radius around the specified location. Only applies when location is set. Valid values: 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 100.
- **`sort`** — Sort results by relevance (default) or by posting date (newest first). (default: `"relevance"`)
- **`includeDetails`** — Fetch each job's detail page for full description, JSON-LD data, requirements, benefits, and hiring signals. Set to false for fast SERP-only scraping. (default: `false`)
- **`compact`** — Output only core fields (jobId, title, company, location, salary, URL, dates, remote status). Ideal for AI agents, MCP workflows, and LLM context windows where token budget matters. (default: `false`)
- ...and 22 more parameters

### Input examples

**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

```json
{
  "query": "software developer",
  "maxResults": 50
}
````

**Incremental tracking** — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.

```json
{
  "query": "software developer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-developer-tracker"
}
```

**Compact filtered output** — Combine filters with compact mode for a lightweight AI-agent or MCP data source.

→ Core fields only — ideal for piping into LLMs or downstream tools without token overhead.

```json
{
  "query": "software developer",
  "jobType": "fulltime",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}
```

### Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

}
```

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt` — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape indeed.com

1. Go to [Indeed Job Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/indeed-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need full descriptions, company data.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Use cases

- Extract job data from indeed.com for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed listings on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Auto-apply or feed apply URLs into your ATS / hiring pipeline.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.
- Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
- Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.
- Collect ratings and reviews for reputation monitoring and benchmarking.

### How much does it cost to scrape indeed.com?

Indeed Job Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

- **Run start:** $0.01 per run
- **Per result:** $0.00005 per job record

Example costs:

- 10 results: **$0.011**
- 25 results: **$0.011**
- 100 results: **$0.015**
- 200 results: **$0.02**
- 500 results: **$0.035**

#### Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 20 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

| Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 5% — stable niche query | $0.01 | $0.01 | $0.00095 (9%) | $0.30 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.01 | $0.01 | $0.00085 (8%) | $0.30 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.01 | $0.01 | $0.0007 (6%) | $0.31 |

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $0.33. First month with incremental costs $0.30 / $0.31 / $0.31 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I get from indeed.com?

The number of results depends on the search query and available listings on indeed.com. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

#### Does Indeed Job Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed listings on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.

#### Can I integrate Indeed Job Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Indeed Job Scraper works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations?fpr=1h3gvi) to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.

#### Can I use Indeed Job Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.

#### Can I use Indeed Job Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server?fpr=1h3gvi) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode, `descriptionMaxLength`, a single `descriptionFormat`, and `excludeEmptyFields` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

#### Is it legal to scrape indeed.com?

This actor extracts publicly available data from indeed.com. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort results by relevance (default) or by posting date (newest first).

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each job's detail page for full description, JSON-LD data, requirements, benefits, and hiring signals. Set to false for fast SERP-only scraping.

## `compact` (type: `boolean`):

Output only core fields (jobId, title, company, location, salary, URL, dates, remote status). Ideal for AI agents, MCP workflows, and LLM context windows where token budget matters.

## `descriptionMaxLength` (type: `integer`):

Truncate job descriptions to this many characters (adds '...' suffix). Set to 0 to omit descriptions entirely. Leave empty for full descriptions. Useful for reducing payload size in AI and automation pipelines.

## `includeCompanyProfile` (type: `boolean`):

## `telegramChatId` (type: `string`):

Telegram chat or channel ID where alerts are sent (e.g. "-100123456789" for a private group, or "@yourchannel").

## `discordWebhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Discord incoming webhook URL. Get one from Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks.

## `slackWebhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Slack incoming webhook URL. Create at api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks.

## `whatsappPhoneNumberId` (type: `string`):

WhatsApp Business phone number ID from Meta Business Manager (NOT the phone number itself — the numeric ID shown next to your business number). Free service-conversation messages within 24 hours of last user-initiated contact.

## `whatsappAccessToken` (type: `string`):

Meta Cloud API access token with `whatsapp_business_messaging` scope. Get a permanent token from a system user in Meta Business Manager.

## `whatsappTo` (type: `string`):

Recipient phone in E.164 format (e.g. +919876543210). Recipient must have messaged your business number within the last 24 hours — outside that window, free-form text is rejected by Meta.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Generic webhook URL that receives a JSON POST with the full job payload + run metadata. Universal escape hatch for n8n / Make / Zapier / your own backend.

## `webhookHeaders` (type: `object`):

Optional headers (e.g. {"Authorization": "Bearer xyz"}) sent with the webhook POST.

## `notificationLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs included in each notification message (1–20). Excess jobs are still in the dataset; notifications get a summary line.

## `notifyOnlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

When Incremental Mode is on, only send notifications for NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED jobs. Has no effect outside incremental mode.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Pick a single description representation. `all` keeps every variant; `text` / `html` / `markdown` drop the others.

## `excludeEmptyFields` (type: `boolean`):

Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards.

## `appConnector` (type: `string`):

Optional. Pick a connected app under Settings → API & Integrations to receive your results. Best-effort across MCP connectors.

## `mcpIssueTeam` (type: `string`):

Only for issue-tracker connectors: the team (name or ID) the summary issue is created under, if required.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "software developer",
    "maxResults": 1,
    "includeDetails": false,
    "descriptionFormat": "all",
    "excludeEmptyFields": false
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("blackfalcondata/indeed-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

run_input = {
    "query": "software developer",
    "maxResults": 1,
    "includeDetails": False,
    "descriptionFormat": "all",
    "excludeEmptyFields": False,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("blackfalcondata/indeed-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
