Indeed Job Scraper

What does Indeed Jobs Scraper do?

Indeed Jobs Scraper collects job postings from Indeed.com into a clean, structured dataset. Enter a keyword and location, or paste an Indeed search URL, and the Actor returns job titles, companies, locations, salaries, employment types, remote flags, apply links, company profile details, and full job descriptions. It is built for job-market research, recruiting automation, lead generation, and data pipelines that need reliable Indeed job data without manual copy-paste.

Why use Indeed Jobs Scraper?

• Complete, structured records - Each job includes the title, company, location, salary, employment type, remote status, posting date, apply link, and the full description in both HTML and plain text.
• Flexible search - Run a keyword and location search, paste multiple Indeed search URLs, or submit individual job URLs in a single run.
• Automation-ready output - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or send them to Google Sheets, Slack, or a webhook.
• Built to keep running - The Actor retries temporary failures, adapts when Indeed changes its responses, and falls back to an alternate listing source automatically.
• No account, login, or cookies required - Start collecting job data immediately.
• Runs on a schedule - Monitor new postings hourly, daily, or weekly to track hiring trends and fresh openings.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small results_wanted such as 20 to validate your keyword and location before running large jobs.
• Use posted_date to focus on fresh listings for monitoring workflows.
• Use startUrls when you want exact control over the search, for example to apply a specific location or category filter on Indeed.
• Set maxPages to cap long runs and control cost.
• Set collectDetails to false for faster, lighter runs when you only need job summaries and links.
• Schedule the Actor to collect new postings on a recurring basis.
• If a specific field is empty for a job, the employer likely did not publish that detail on Indeed.

Integrations

• Google Sheets - Send job data to a spreadsheet for analysis.
• Webhooks - Notify your systems when a run finishes.
• Make or Zapier - Connect results to no-code automations.
• Slack - Post new job batches to a channel.
• API - Access datasets programmatically from your own applications.
• Exports - Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export Indeed job data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other formats directly from the run page or the API.

Do I need an Indeed account or cookies?

No. The Actor collects public job data without an Indeed login, cookies, or account.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. You can schedule the Actor in Apify Console to run hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval, which is useful for monitoring new job postings.

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

You control the limit with results_wanted, up to the Actor's configured maximum. Use maxPages as an additional cap for very large runs.

Why are some fields empty for a job?

Some employers do not publish a salary, company size, revenue, or website. When the source listing omits a detail, the corresponding field is empty.

Is a proxy required?

On Apify, yes. Indeed blocks datacenter IP ranges, so the Actor enables the Apify Residential proxy by default to collect data reliably. If you run it locally or from an unblocked network, you can turn the proxy off. If an unproxied run on Apify returns no jobs, the Actor automatically retries once through Apify Residential proxy.

Is it legal to scrape Indeed?

Scraping public web data can be legal, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Indeed's terms, and privacy rules. Use the data responsibly.
