What does ZipRecruiter Job Scraper do?

It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and company metadata) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 🌎 7-market coverage — search ZipRecruiter in the US, GB, IE, IN, DE, FR, and NZ from one actor, with consistent output fields across markets.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — include descriptions, geo fields, apply links, company metadata, benefits, and salary where the source provides them.
• 💰 Salary-aware output — capture disclosed salary ranges, currency, interval, and estimated/provided flags for compensation analysis.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — emit NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED listings by default, with optional UNCHANGED and EXPIRED records.
• 🔔 Notifications — send results to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, or a generic webhook.

What data can you extract from ziprecruiter.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, title, location, addressLocality, addressRegion, stateCode, postalCode, and addressCountry, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (benefits, description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionSnippet), apply information (directApply and applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyWebsite, and companyLogoUrl). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — Job search keywords.
• country — Which market to search. Note: US requires additional account configuration — use GB, IE, IN, DE, FR, or NZ for self-service access. (default: "IE")
• location — City, state, or region.
• sort — How to sort results. (default: "")
• openToRemote — Expand results by ~70% to include remote-eligible listings. Uses hidden open_to_remote param. (default: false)
• radius — Search radius around location in km. Only used when location is set.
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 25)
• includeDetails — Fetch full job details. (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-derive a stable identifier from your search inputs — different keyword/location/filter combinations get isolated state automatically.
• ...and 16 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
"query":"software engineer",
"maxResults":50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
"query":"software engineer",
"maxResults":200,
"incrementalMode":true,
"stateKey":"software-engineer-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
"query":"software engineer",
"maxResults":50,
"compact":true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape ziprecruiter.com?

ZipRecruiter Job Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.00099 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.015
• 25 results: $0.03
• 100 results: $0.1
• 200 results: $0.2
• 500 results: $0.5

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $3.12. First month with incremental costs $0.39 / $0.68 / $1.11 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
