Monster Scraper

Scrape jobs from Monster.com — titles, companies, salaries, full descriptions, and posting dates from one of the largest US job boards.

What you get

Structured job listings from Monster.com, a major US job board that has been running since 1994. Search by keyword and location and get job titles, hiring company names, salary ranges, full descriptions, employment types, and posting dates — ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, or your own job-search app.

Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing. Tiered discounts apply automatically based on usage volume.

Limitations

• Primarily US listings — international coverage on Monster is thin.
• Salary range is not present on every listing; it depends on what the employer publishes.
• Full descriptions come from detail pages, so very large runs take longer than a headline-only crawl.
• Monster occasionally rotates listings in and out, so the same query on different days can return slightly different sets.

Compared to alternatives

• vs. other Monster scrapers on Apify Store: There is no established public competitor for Monster — this actor fills that gap with the same structured output shape used by our Indeed and ZipRecruiter scrapers.

Pairs well with Indeed Scraper, ZipRecruiter Scraper, and Google Jobs Scraper for full US coverage.

FAQ

Do I need a Monster account? No. This actor only reads public listings.

Can I search remote-only jobs? Yes. Set location to "remote".

How many jobs can I get per query? Set maxResults up to 500. Monster caps the total pool of unique results per query, so very large numbers may return fewer than requested.

How fresh is the data? Pulled live at run time — as fresh as Monster's own search page.
