## 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 Salaries Scraper (No API Key)

Scrape Indeed salary data by company and job title as clean, structured JSON — no API key, no login. Point this Indeed salaries scraper at any company's Indeed salaries page and it returns the median pay per role: `jobTitle`, `salaryDisplay`, parsed `salaryAmount`, `salaryType` (yearly/hourly), `reportedSalaryCount`, `currency`, and a `salaryUrl`. Built for developers, data analysts, recruiters, compensation and market-research teams, and AI/RAG pipelines that need bulk salary benchmarks. No API key, no login, bulk company input, pay per result.

Reliability comes from Chrome TLS impersonation (curl\_cffi) plus residential US proxies with per-request session rotation to clear Indeed's anti-bot walls and read Indeed's own server-embedded structured salary data.

### ⚡ Quick start

Paste this into the Actor's **Input** (JSON view) and hit **Start**:

```json
{
  "companies": ["Amazon.com"],
  "maxSalaries": 50
}
```

Each result row looks like:

```json
{
  "company": "Amazon.com",
  "jobTitle": "Software Development Engineer",
  "salaryDisplay": "$134,850",
  "salaryAmount": 134850,
  "salaryType": "YEARLY",
  "reportedSalaryCount": 312,
  "currency": "USD",
  "salaryUrl": "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Amazon.com/salaries/Software-Development-Engineer"
}
```

Or run it from the API:

```
POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/jamhimself~indeed-salaries-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN
```

### What you get

Each row is one job title's salary aggregate for a company:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `company` | Company slug the salaries belong to |
| `jobTitle` | The role / job title |
| `salaryDisplay` | Salary as shown on Indeed, e.g. `$150,849` |
| `salaryAmount` | Parsed numeric amount |
| `salaryType` | Pay period (e.g. YEARLY / HOURLY) |
| `reportedSalaryCount` | How many reported salaries the figure is based on |
| `currency` | Currency code (defaults to USD) |
| `salaryUrl` | Link to the role's salary detail on Indeed |

### Use cases

- **Compensation benchmarking** — compare median pay by role across a set of companies to size offers and pay bands.
- **Competitor and employer monitoring** — track salary ranges at competitors to inform hiring and retention strategy.
- **Salary and labor-market research** — build datasets of pay by job title and company for analysis and reporting.
- **Recruiter sourcing intelligence** — arm recruiters with real pay expectations by role before outreach.
- **LLM / RAG feed** — pipe structured salary aggregates into vector stores so AI agents can answer "what does role X pay at company Y?"
- **Dataset building** — assemble a reusable salary corpus by role and company for BI dashboards or spreadsheets.

### Input

| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array | One or more Indeed company salary pages. Prefill: `https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Amazon.com/salaries` |
| `companies` | array | Alternative to `startUrls`: plain Indeed company slugs, e.g. `Amazon.com` |
| `maxSalaries` | integer | Max salary rows per company. Default `500`, max `10000` |

Example:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Amazon.com/salaries" }],
  "companies": ["Google", "Microsoft"],
  "maxSalaries": 500
}
```

### Pricing
