## 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

## Indeed Job Scraper 🔍

**Extract job listings from Indeed.com at scale — get titles, companies, locations, salaries, job types, and more with just a few clicks. No coding required.**

Indeed Job Scraper lets you search Indeed across 60+ countries and export structured job data directly to JSON, CSV, or any downstream integration via the Apify platform. Configure your search query, location, and filters — the Actor handles the rest, including automatic proxy rotation to avoid blocks.

### What can Indeed Job Scraper do?

- 🌍 **Search across 60+ countries** — USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, India, and many more
- 🔎 **Multiple search queries in one run** — scrape "software engineer", "data scientist", and "product manager" in a single Actor run
- 💰 **Extract salary data** — minimum, maximum, currency, and period (hourly/annual)
- 🏠 **Filter remote jobs** — toggle remote-only results
- 🕐 **Filter by posting age** — only get jobs posted in the last N hours
- 💼 **Filter by job type** — full-time, part-time, contract, internship
- 🔄 **Automatic proxy rotation** — uses Apify Residential Proxies to avoid 429s and blocks, fetching a fresh IP on every retry
- 📦 **Clean structured output** — ready to plug into Google Sheets, Airtable, your own database, or any API

### How to scrape Indeed jobs — step by step

1. **Enter your search queries** — e.g. `software engineer`, `data analyst`
2. **Set your location** — e.g. `New York, NY`, `London`, `Remote`
3. **Choose your country** from the dropdown (60+ supported)
4. **Optionally** set filters: job type, remote only, or max posting age in hours
5. **Click "Start"** and wait for results (typically under 1 minute)
6. **Export your data** as JSON, CSV, Excel — or connect to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, and more via the Integrations tab

### Input example

```json
{
  "queries": ["software engineer", "backend developer"],
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "countryIndeed": "USA",
  "resultsPerQuery": 50,
  "jobType": "fulltime",
  "isRemote": false,
  "hoursOld": 72,
  "enforceAnnual": true
}
```

> ⚠️ **Note:** `hoursOld` cannot be combined with `jobType` or `isRemote`. Use one or the other.

### Output example

  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "Acme Corp",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "is_remote": false,

### FAQ

#### Is scraping Indeed legal?

Web scraping publicly available data is generally considered legal in most jurisdictions. This Actor only collects data that is publicly visible on Indeed without logging in. Always ensure your use of scraped data complies with Indeed's Terms of Service and applicable laws in your region.

#### The Actor returned 0 results — what happened?

This usually means Indeed blocked all retry attempts. The Actor retries up to 5 times with a fresh proxy on each attempt. If still returning 0, try a different search term or location, and check the Actor logs for details.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "accountant"
  ],
  "location": "New York, NY"
}' |
apify call familiar_universality/indeed --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
