## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Indeed Jobs Scraper — Salaries, Companies & Descriptions

Scrape **Indeed job listings at scale — no login required.** Search by keyword and location across **16 countries** and get clean, structured data for every posting: **title, company, salary range, location, posted date, full job description, company rating and review count.**

Indeed is one of the hardest job boards to scrape (bot protection + client-side rendering). This actor reads Indeed's own **embedded job data**, so you get complete, reliable results — including **real salary ranges** most scrapers miss.

### What you can do with it

- 💰 **Salary & compensation research** — build datasets of pay ranges by title, company, location
- 🧲 **Recruiting & sourcing** — find who's hiring for a role in any market
- 📊 **Job-market analytics** — track demand, remote share, company hiring velocity
- 🔔 **Job aggregators / alerts** — feed a board, newsletter, or Slack on a schedule

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `keywords` | string | Job title or keywords, e.g. `software engineer`, `nurse`. |
| `location` | string | City, state, ZIP, or `Remote`. |
| `country` | select | Which Indeed site (US, UK, CA, AU, DE, FR, IN, and more). |
| `maxJobs` | integer | Maximum number of postings to scrape. |
| `datePosted` | select | `Last 24 hours`, `3 days`, `7 days`, `14 days`, or any time. |
| `jobType` | select | Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, internship. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Only remote jobs (best-effort). |
| `sort` | select | Relevance or date (newest). |
| `radius` | integer | Optional search radius. |
| `fetchDescription` | boolean | Open each job for the full description. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential proxy recommended (Indeed blocks datacenter IPs at scale). |

#### Example

```json
{
  "keywords": "registered nurse",
  "location": "Chicago, IL",
  "datePosted": "7",
  "jobType": "full-time",
  "maxJobs": 200,
  "fetchDescription": true
}
```

### Output

Each item is one job posting:

```json
{
  "jobId": "51aa93a97bd82791",
  "title": "Software Engineer II | ML & AI (REMOTE)",
  "company": "Home Depot / THD",
  "companyRating": 3.7,
  "companyReviewCount": 70504,
  "location": "Atlanta, GA",
  "isRemote": true,
  "salaryText": "$90,000 - $170,000 a year",
  "salaryMin": 90000,
  "salaryMax": 170000,
  "salaryType": "YEARLY",
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",
  "jobTypes": ["Full-time"],
  "urgentlyHiring": false,
  "snippet": "60% Delivery and Execution - Collaborates and pairs with other product team members…",
  "postedAt": "2026-07-12T00:00:00.000Z",
  "postedAgo": "12 days ago",
  "url": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=51aa93a97bd82791",
  "descriptionText": "Position Purpose: The Software Engineer II is responsible for…",
  "descriptionHtml": "<p>Position Purpose: …</p>"
}
```

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull live via the Apify API.

### Notes

- **No login required** — reads Indeed's public search + view-job data.
- A **residential proxy** is strongly recommended; Indeed blocks datacenter IPs at scale. The actor rotates IPs and retries on challenge/`403`.
- Set `fetchDescription: false` for a fast, cheap run (list + salary data only) or `true` for the full description.
- Salary fields are populated only where Indeed provides or estimates a salary.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Job title or keywords to search for, e.g. "software engineer", "nurse", "data analyst".

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

City, state, ZIP or country, e.g. "New York, NY", "Remote", "London".

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

Which Indeed site to search.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job postings to scrape.

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

Only jobs posted within the last N days.

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