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.

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 ## Foundit Jobs Scraper Foundit, formerly Monster in India, the Gulf and Southeast Asia, runs job sites for India, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the Gulf. This actor searches any of them and returns one row per job: title, company, cities, experience range in years, skills, applicant and view counts, the closing date and the full description. Pick a **Country site**, type a skill such as `python` and click **Start**. Most employers hide the salary: 21 of 600 jobs in one September 2026 run showed it. It costs $0.50 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($0.25 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 10,000 jobs. ### What data does it return? | Field | Description | |---|---| | `title`, `company` | Job title as posted, e.g. `python developer`, and the company, empty when the employer hides its name. | | `employerType` | `Company` for a direct employer, `Consultant` for a recruitment agency. | | `site` | The Foundit site the job comes from, e.g. `foundit.in` or `founditgulf.com`. | | `location`, `cities`, `states`, `countries` | Places as the search results show them (`Pune, Indore`), and with full details the cities, states and countries as lists, e.g. `Maharashtra` and `Madhya Pradesh`. | | `experienceText`, `experienceMin`, `experienceMax` | Required experience as shown (`4-9 Years`) and as whole years. Empty when the employer does not say. | | `salaryText`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency` | Yearly salary as Foundit shows it (`12,00,000-26,00,000 INR`) and as numbers in the site's currency. Empty when hidden. | | `skills` | Skills the employer asks for, e.g. `FastAPI` and `Pytest`. | | `functions`, `roles`, `industries` | Foundit's job function, role and industry, e.g. `Technology` or `Data Engineering`. Often `Others` or empty. | | `employmentTypes`, `jobTypes` | For example `Full time`, and `Permanent Job` or `Work From Home`. | | `applicants`, `views` | Applications received through Foundit so far, and how often the job was viewed. `views` needs full details. | | `postedAt`, `updatedAt`, `closesAt` | When the job was posted, last updated and when it closes, in UTC. | | `applyUrl` | The application page when it is outside Foundit, often a LinkedIn job or the employer's career site. | | `companyAbout`, `companyIndustries` | Company profile and industries from the job page, filled for about a quarter of jobs. | | `urgentlyHiring`, `greatPlaceToWork` | `true` when the employer marks the job as urgent, and when the company is certified as a Great Place to Work. | | `description`, `descriptionHtml` | Full job description as plain text and as HTML. | | `url`, `companyUrl` | The job page and the list of the company's jobs on Foundit. | ### How to scrape Foundit jobs 1. Pick the **Country site**. India (foundit.in) is the default; Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the Gulf each have their own site, jobs and currency. 2. Type skills, job titles or companies into **Keywords**, one per line. Each keyword is its own search; leave the field empty to read every job on the site. 3. Narrow the keyword searches with **Locations** (cities or regions as Foundit writes them, such as `Bengaluru`, `Pune` or `Dubai`; a job in any of them matches), **Countries** (on the Gulf site, e.g. `United Arab Emirates`), **Minimum experience (years)**, **Maximum experience (years)**, **Posted within** and **Work from home only**. **Sort by** Newest first puts the latest jobs on top. 4. To reuse a search built on the website, paste its address into **Search links from Foundit**; links from all six sites work. A link keeps the filters in its address; the form's location, experience, date and sort settings do not apply to it, and when **Keywords** is empty the run reads only the links. 5. Keep **Include full details** on for the description, company profile, location lists and views; the price is the same. Click **Start**, then export the **Output** as CSV, Excel or JSON or read it through the API. A run of 600 jobs with details took under a minute. The input for a Gulf search sorted by date, as the API takes it: ```json { "site": "GULF", "keywords": ["civil engineer", "quantity surveyor"], "countries": ["United Arab Emirates", "Saudi Arabia"], "minExperience": 5, "postedWithinDays": "7", "sortBy": "date", "maxItems": 300 } ``` ### Example output One job from a run on 28 September 2026, found by the keyword `python` on foundit.in. The two description fields are shortened. This employer has no company profile on Foundit, so `companyAbout` is empty. ```json { "key": "foundit:IN:69126767", "jobId": "69126767", "site": "foundit.in", "title": "python developer", "url": "https://www.foundit.in/job/python-developer-tekintegral-consulting-private-limited-pune-indore-69126767", "company": "Tekintegral Consulting Private Limited", "companyId": "1254757", "companyUrl": "https://www.foundit.in/search/tekintegral-consulting-private-limited-1254757-jobs-career", "companyAbout": null, "companyIndustries": [], "employerType": "Consultant", "location": "Pune, Indore", "cities": [ "Pune", "Indore" ], "states": [ "Maharashtra", "Madhya Pradesh" ], "countries": [ "India" ], "workFromHome": false, "experienceText": "4-9 Years", "experienceMin": 4, "experienceMax": 9, "salaryText": "12,00,000-26,00,000 INR", "salaryMin": 1200000, "salaryMax": 2600000, "salaryPeriod": "yearly", "salaryCurrency": "INR", "industries": [], "functions": [ "Others" ], "roles": [ "Other Roles" ], "employmentTypes": [ "Full time" ], "jobTypes": [ "Permanent Job" ], "skills": [ "Python", "Micro Service", "Sql", "FastAPI", "Restapi", "Kubernets", "Mongo Db", "Pytest", "Migration", "Api" ], "postedAt": "2026-09-28T09:57:30.000Z", "updatedAt": "2026-09-28T09:57:30.000Z", "closesAt": "2026-11-26T18:30:00.000Z", "applicants": 29, "views": 13, "urgentlyHiring": false, "greatPlaceToWork": false, "applyUrl": null, "description": "Role: Python Developer\nClient : Infobeans\nLocation : Pune/Indore\nFULL TIME (INFOBEANS)\nWork Mode: Hybrid\n\nJob Description:\nExperience- 6+\nWe are looking for experienced Python Backend Engineers to work on an API migration initiative.

...", "detailsIncluded": true, "searchQuery": "India: \"python\"", "scrapedAt": "2026-09-28T16:18:14.619Z" } ``` ### How much does it cost to scrape Foundit jobs? | | Free plan | Starter | Scale | Business | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1,000 jobs | $0.50 | $0.40 | $0.325 | $0.25 | You pay only for the events in the table. There is no start fee, and compute time and proxies are included. A run of 10,000 jobs with full details costs $5.00 on the Free plan and $2.50 on Business. Foundit mixes advertisements into its results; the actor skips them, and you are not charged for them, for jobs removed by **Exclude keywords**, for a job that two of your searches share or for jobs held back by the new-only mode. ### Limits - One Foundit search stops at 10,000 jobs. On 29 September 2026 `python` on foundit.in matched 29,952, so split a broad search by location, experience or posting date; the run log warns when a search is larger than that. - Salaries are always yearly amounts, and on the Gulf site none of 200 `engineer` jobs showed one in September 2026. - Experience is missing on about a third of jobs (206 of the 600), and `companyAbout` is filled on about a quarter. - Without **Include full details** the rows keep `location` from the search results but have no description, views, company profile or location lists. - When **Maximum jobs** is lower than the matches, the searches share it equally, a page of 100 at a time. - If Foundit refuses requests with HTTP 403, the run stops and keeps the jobs it has returned. ### Daily alerts for new Foundit jobs Turn on **Return only jobs new since the last run** and give the run a **Watch name** such as `python-pune`, or save it as a task, which keeps its own record. A scheduled run then returns only jobs that earlier runs under that name did not. Each job is remembered for 120 days. Its key includes the site code, e.g. `foundit:IN:69126767`, so jobs from different country sites never mix. ### FAQ #### Is it legal to scrape Foundit? Foundit shows these listings to every visitor without logging in, and the actor reads them with the same search and job requests the website makes. It does not collect recruiter or candidate profiles, and none of 600 descriptions from a September 2026 run contained an email address. You are responsible for how you use the data. #### Which countries does the Gulf site cover? Several. In a September 2026 run of 200 `engineer` jobs on founditgulf.com, 99 were in the United Arab Emirates, 64 in Egypt, 35 in Saudi Arabia, 5 in Qatar and 3 in Kuwait. Use **Countries** to keep only the ones you need. ### Related scrapers - [Instahyre Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/deriverge/instahyre-jobs-scraper) - [Internshala Scraper](https://apify.com/deriverge/internshala-jobs-scraper) - [Hirist Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/deriverge/hirist-jobs-scraper) - [JobStreet Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/deriverge/jobstreet-jobs-scraper) ### Support This actor is built and maintained by deriverge s.r.o., a software company based in the Czech Republic.
