## 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`).

## LinkedIn Jobs Scraper — Search Job Postings as JSON (No Login)

> 📮 **Need help, hit a problem, want a new feature, or a field that's missing from the output?** Email **support@reefapi.com** or open an issue on the **Issues** tab of this Actor — we reply fast and take feature requests seriously.

Scrape **LinkedIn job postings** as clean, structured JSON. Search jobs by **keyword, location, date posted, experience level, job type, workplace (remote / hybrid / on-site), salary, company and industry** — then optionally pull the **full job description**, the **employer's company profile**, **all jobs at a company**, or **similar jobs**. **No LinkedIn login, no cookies, no account** — just send a query and get the data. **Job postings only — no personal data** (recruiter / poster info is dropped).

### What is the LinkedIn Jobs Scraper?

The LinkedIn Jobs Scraper is a **LinkedIn jobs data API** that turns LinkedIn's public job search into a downloadable dataset. Instead of clicking through pages or fighting login walls, you send a job title and location and get back every matching posting as flat JSON, CSV or Excel — with the company, location, workplace type, posting date, salary band and a direct apply URL. It's the fastest way to **scrape LinkedIn jobs** for job boards, market/salary research, recruiting pipelines and hiring analytics. It reads only **public job-posting data** and never touches personal LinkedIn profiles.

### What can this LinkedIn Jobs Scraper do?

- 🔎 **Search jobs** — by keyword + location, with filters for date posted, experience, job type, workplace, salary, company and industry.
- 📄 **Job detail** — the full posting for a job id: description, employment type, seniority, job function, applicant count.
- 🏢 **Company profile** — an employer's industry, HQ, size, website, specialties and description.
- 🏢 **Jobs by company** — every open posting at a given company.
- 📍 **Location search** — turn free-text into LinkedIn geo IDs for precise targeting.
- 🔁 **Similar jobs** — related postings for a given job.

### What data can I extract?

`jobs/search` returns one record per posting. Key fields (from real output):

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `job_id` | LinkedIn job id (use it for **Job detail** / **Similar jobs**) |
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Employer object — `name`, `url`, `slug`, `logo` |
| `location` | Job location (city, region) |
| `workplace_type` | On-site / Remote / Hybrid |
| `posted_date` / `posted_relative` | Absolute date + "3 weeks ago" |
| `salary` | Salary / pay band when LinkedIn shows it |
| `employment_type` | Full-time / Contract / … (with `include_detail`) |
| `seniority_level` | Entry / Mid-Senior / … (with `include_detail`) |
| `description_text` | Full job description (with `include_detail`) |
| `job_url` | Direct link to the posting |

> Field availability varies — not every posting lists a salary, workplace type or seniority, and LinkedIn can change its layout. Set `include_detail: true` to fetch description / employment type / seniority per job.

### How do I scrape LinkedIn jobs?

1. Open the Actor and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Keep **Action** = *Search jobs* (the default).
3. Enter **Keywords** (e.g. `python developer`) and a **Location**, then add any filters (date posted, experience, job type, workplace, min salary, company).
4. Set **Max results**, click **Start**, and download the jobs as **JSON, CSV or Excel** from the **Dataset** tab.

### Input

```json
{
  "action": "jobs/search",
  "keywords": "data engineer",
  "location": "United States",
  "workplace": "remote",
  "date_posted": "week",
  "salary_min": 120000,
  "max_results": 100
}
```

- `keywords` (required for search) · `location` · `max_results` (1–1000).
- Filters: `date_posted`, `experience`, `job_type`, `workplace`, `salary_min`, `company`.
- `job_id` — for **Job detail** / **Similar jobs**.  `company` — for **Jobs by company** / **Company profile**.
- `params` — advanced JSON: `industry`, `job_function`, `geoId`, `include_detail`, `include_company`, `cursor`, `page`.

### Output (jobs/search — one item per job)

```json
{
  "job_id": "4425881907",
  "title": "Data Engineer",
  "company": {
    "name": "MegazoneCloud US",
    "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/megazonecloud-us",
    "slug": "megazonecloud-us",
    "logo": "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/.../megazonecloud_us_logo"
  },
  "location": "Rochester, NY",
  "workplace_type": "On-site",
  "posted_date": "2026-06-09",
  "posted_relative": "3 weeks ago",
  "salary": null,
  "job_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/data-engineer-at-megazonecloud-us-4425881907"
}
```

With `include_detail: true`, each job also carries `description_text`, `employment_type`, `seniority_level` and `job_function`.

### Use cases

- **Job boards & aggregators** — feed fresh LinkedIn postings into your own listings.
- **Salary & market research** — analyze demand, pay bands and skills by role and region.
- **Recruiting & sourcing** — track open roles at target companies and competitors.
- **Hiring analytics** — measure posting volume, remote share and seniority mix over time.
- **Lead generation** — find companies actively hiring in a niche.

### FAQ

**Is there an official LinkedIn jobs API?**
LinkedIn's official APIs are partner-gated and don't expose open job search. This Actor reads LinkedIn's **public** job postings as structured JSON — no partnership or login required.

**Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookie?**
No. It's fully cookieless — you don't provide any login, cookie or account. Just send your query.

**How much does it cost?**
Billed on Apify's pay-per-result model, benchmarked to be competitive with other LinkedIn jobs scrapers. See the **Pricing** section on this Actor's page for the current rate.

**Can I integrate it?**
Yes — run it from the Apify **API** or the **Python / Node.js clients**, and connect the output to **Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks** or your ATS via Apify integrations. Great for scheduled daily job pulls.

**Is it legal to scrape LinkedIn jobs?**
This Actor collects only **public job-posting data** (no login, no personal profiles) and **drops recruiter / poster personal data**. Public job listings are business information; you're responsible for how you use the data. This is not legal advice.

Unofficial — not affiliated with LinkedIn. Public job-posting data only; no personal profiles.

    }
}
```

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).
