## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Naukri Scraper - Jobs, Salaries, Skills & Recruiter Leads

> **Disclaimer:** This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Info Edge (India) Limited or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Naukri" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Scrape **[Naukri.com](https://www.naukri.com)** — India's #1 job board (500,000+ live listings) — into clean, structured data. Search by keyword, city and filters (or paste a Naukri search URL) and get every job with **salary range, key skills, experience, location, AmbitionBox company rating, apply link, the full job description, and the recruiter/HR contact** where Naukri exposes it. Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, job-market analysts, salary benchmarking, and sales-to-HR lead generation.

No login, no API key. Pay only per job returned.

### Why this scraper

- **Richest record on the store.** Every field Naukri exposes, merged into one flat row: title, company, `companyId`, location, experience range, salary range (parsed to ₹ lakhs), key skills, posted date, work mode, vacancy, company logo, AmbitionBox rating + review count, apply URL — plus (with details on) the full JD, education, role, industry, employment type, posting stats and recruiter contact.
- **Reliable by design.** Naukri gates its job API behind an in-browser token that plain HTTP scrapers can't mint (they get `406 recaptcha required`). This actor runs a real anti-detect browser that mints the token the way a human session does, then harvests the API JSON directly. If a run can't mint a token, it **falls back to Naukri's public job sitemaps** so it still returns data instead of failing.
- **Hiring-company leads.** Each job is also a B2B lead: the hiring company, its rating, and the recruiter's name/email/phone when shown, with a 0–100 `leadScore`. Use the **Hiring leads** dataset view for sales-to-HR and recruitment-agency prospecting.
- **Monitor mode.** Remember what you've seen and emit only **new or changed** jobs — pair with Apify Schedules for a fresh-jobs / hiring-alert feed.
- **Never a start fee.** Pay per job, not per run.

### Input

### How much does it cost to scrape Naukri?

This Actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

- **Job scraped** - One job with title, company, location, salary, key skills, experience, AmbitionBox rating & apply link.
- **Job detail enriched** - Full job description, education, role, industry, employment type, recruiter & posting stats.
- **Recruiter lead** - One job exposing a recruiter/HR contact (name, email or phone) with a hiring-company lead score.

The current price of each event is shown on the **Pricing** tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

### Use with AI assistants (MCP)

This actor is exposed over the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp), so AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients) can discover it, run it, and read the results as a tool — pass a keyword and location and get structured Naukri jobs back.

### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

- **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key.
- **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

### Integrations

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or the Apify dataset API, or wire results into **Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Drive, Airbyte, GitHub, Webhooks, Schedules** and the **Apify API / MCP**. Combine with Apify **Schedules** + Monitor mode for a recurring fresh-jobs or hiring-signal feed.

### Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

- **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
- **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** - official SDKs.
- **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
- **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/naukri-scraper').call({
    "keyword": "data scientist",
    "location": "Bangalore",
    "maxJobs": 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
```

### Legal & compliance

Scrapes only publicly available job listings. Respect Naukri's Terms of Service and applicable laws; use recruiter contact data in line with GDPR / India DPDP and anti-spam regulations. This tool is for lawful recruitment, market-research and lead-generation use.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Naukri login?** No — no login or API key.

**Why residential India proxies?** Naukri serves from India and scores non-India traffic harder; the default (Apify Residential, country IN) mints its in-browser token most reliably. You can bring your own proxies.

**A run returned sitemap-level rows with fewer fields — why?** That run couldn't mint the browser token, so the actor fell back to Naukri's public sitemaps to still return data. Re-run for full search-API detail.

**Can I get the full job description and recruiter?** Turn on **Fetch full details**. Recruiter contact is included when Naukri exposes it on the posting.

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Job title, skill or company to search on Naukri (e.g. 'python developer', 'data scientist', 'sales manager'). Leave blank to browse a whole city/location, or use Search URLs below for full filter control.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City / region to filter by, as it appears on Naukri (e.g. 'Bangalore', 'Mumbai', 'Delhi / NCR', 'Pune', 'Hyderabad', 'Remote'). Leave blank for all-India.

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste one or more Naukri search-result URLs with every filter you want already applied in the Naukri UI (copy the address bar). Overrides Keyword/Location. Example: https://www.naukri.com/python-developer-jobs-in-bangalore

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to return across all searches. Set 0 for unlimited (returns everything Naukri lists for the query — can be large; the run self-limits to stay inside its time budget).

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open each job's detail page for the complete job description, education, employment type, role, full recruiter/HR name, and posting stats. Slower and costs a detail event per job. Off = the (already rich) search-level record: title, company, salary, skills, experience, location, AmbitionBox rating, apply link.

## `jobAge` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs posted within this many days (Naukri freshness filter). 0 / blank = any time. Common values: 1, 3, 7, 15, 30.

## `experienceYears` (type: `integer`):

Filter to jobs matching this many years of experience (Naukri 'experience' filter). Blank = any.

## `minSalaryLakhs` (type: `integer`):

Keep only jobs whose maximum annual CTC is at least this many lakhs (₹). Applied to the parsed salary range. Blank = any.

## `workMode` (type: `array`):

Filter by work arrangement.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Result ordering.

## `withContactOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Lead-gen mode: keep only jobs that expose a recruiter/HR name, email or phone. Requires Fetch full details.

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

Remember jobs seen on previous runs (in a named key-value store) and emit only NEW or CHANGED postings. Pair with Apify Schedules for a hiring-alert / fresh-jobs feed.

## `monitorKey` (type: `string`):

Names the memory bucket for Monitor mode. Use a distinct key per saved search so their histories don't mix.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Naukri serves from India and gates its job API behind an in-browser token — residential India IPs are strongly recommended. Defaults to Apify Residential, country IN. You can supply your own (BYO) proxy URLs.

## `headful` (type: `boolean`):

Run the anti-detect browser headful (recommended — mints Naukri's job-API token more reliably). Turn off only to debug.

## `debugMode` (type: `boolean`):

Save raw API responses and page HTML to the key-value store for troubleshooting field coverage.

## `urlsFromFile` (type: `string`):

Paste a list of URLs (one per line), OR one link to a .txt/.csv file, Google Sheet or Google Drive file containing them. Lets you import many Start URLs at once instead of typing each. Google Sheet/Drive share links are handled automatically.
