## Pricing

from $1.10 / 1,000 linkedin job results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

Search public LinkedIn job listings by keyword and location, or scrape direct public LinkedIn job/search URLs. The Actor uses LinkedIn's signed-out jobs pages and does not require cookies, user accounts, or credentials.

It collects each search card and, by default, visits the public job-detail page to return the full description, employment criteria, applicant count, salary when shown, company information, and application URL.

### Input

The simplest input is:

```json
{
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "location": "Spain",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

You can filter by recency, experience level, job type, and workplace type:

```json
{
  "keywords": "data engineer",
  "location": "London",
  "datePosted": "pastWeek",
  "sortBy": "recent",
  "experienceLevel": ["entry", "associate"],
  "jobType": ["fullTime", "contract"],
  "workplaceType": ["remote", "hybrid"],
  "easyApplyOnly": false,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeDescription": true
}
```

For multiple searches through the API, use `searchTerms` and `locations`. The Actor runs every keyword/location combination:

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["product designer", "ux researcher"],
  "locations": ["Madrid", "Barcelona"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 25
}
```

`startUrls` accepts public `linkedin.com/jobs/search` and `linkedin.com/jobs/view` URLs. The aliases `keyword`, `position`, and `maxItemsPerSearch` are also supported.

### Output

Each dataset row can include:

- LinkedIn job ID, canonical URL, title, company, company URL, and logo
- Location, workplace type, employment type, experience level, and salary
- Human-readable and ISO posting dates, expiration date, and applicant count
- Plain-text and HTML descriptions
- Apply URL, benefits, industries, and job functions
- Search provenance and scrape timestamp

Fields remain `null` or empty when LinkedIn does not publish them for a listing.

### Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage is included.

| Event | Price |
| --- | ---: |
| Actor start | $0.005 per run |
| Job result — Free tier | $0.0015 |
| Job result — Bronze tier | $0.00135 |
| Job result — Silver tier | $0.0012 |
| Job result — Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers | $0.0011 |

At the Free-tier rate, 1,000 returned jobs cost approximately $1.505 including the run-start charge. Failed requests and jobs that are not written to the dataset are not charged as results.

### Responsible use

This Actor only requests publicly available, signed-out LinkedIn job pages. Use reasonable limits and delays, respect applicable laws and LinkedIn's terms, and do not use scraped data for spam, discrimination, or automated decisions about individuals.

LinkedIn can rate-limit repeated requests. Residential proxies are enabled by default, sessions are sticky per search, failed proxy tunnels rotate automatically, and browser-level TLS/header impersonation is used without solving CAPTCHAs.

### Development and deployment

```bash
npm ci
npm test
npm run lint
```

Add `APIFY_API_TOKEN` as an encrypted GitHub Actions secret. Pull requests run tests and linting; pushes to `main` or `master` deploy the Actor.

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "location": "New York",

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crabwalker/linkedin-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
