## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. 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.

## 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`).

## Glassdoor Scraper

**Collect Glassdoor job listings by URL — with company, location, salary, and full descriptions.**

Browse Glassdoor the way you do in your browser and get the results back as clean, structured data.
Paste a Glassdoor jobs URL — a search page or an employer's jobs page — and export job title,
company location, salary, posting age, and the full job description to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### 💡 Use cases

- Build and refresh a job board for a niche or region.
- Track hiring trends, salary ranges, and demand for specific roles.
- Feed structured job data into recruiting, sourcing, or market-research pipelines.
- Monitor companies' open roles over time.

### ❓ FAQ

- **Do I need a proxy?** Yes. Glassdoor uses aggressive anti-bot protection; the Actor defaults to Apify residential proxies for reliable results.
- **Which URLs can I use?** Any Glassdoor jobs page — a search results page (`/Job/...`) or an employer jobs page (`/Jobs/...`). Just paste it from your browser.
- **How many jobs can I get?** Use `maxItems` to set how many jobs to collect per start URL. The Actor follows pagination automatically.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Glassdoor job listing URLs to scrape. Paste a Glassdoor jobs URL from your browser, for example https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/new-york-software-engineer-jobs-SRCH_IL.0,8_IC1132348_KO9,26.htm or an employer jobs page like https://www.glassdoor.com/Jobs/Example-Jobs-E12345.htm.

## `scrapeJobDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, each job is opened to collect the full job description. When disabled, only the data shown on the search results card is collected.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to collect for each job listing URL.

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

Proxy settings used for requests. Glassdoor uses aggressive anti-bot protection, so running with Apify residential proxies is strongly recommended.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/new-york-software-engineer-jobs-SRCH_IL.0,8_IC1132348_KO9,26.htm"

## MCP server setup

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

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).
