What does the Glassdoor Jobs Scraper - Salary & Company Rating return?

ParseForge

Glassdoor Jobs Scraper

Scrape Glassdoor job listings by keyword, location, or company, up to a million per run. Each job comes with its title, company, location, salary estimate, and optional full description. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Glassdoor's job board holds millions of listings with salary data and company reviews, but browsing page by page is slow and manual collection does not scale. This Actor reads the public job search results directly, letting you filter by job title, city, or employer name, and returns every match in one flat dataset. You can also feed it any Glassdoor search URL you have already built.

Who uses it What they scrape Glassdoor for
Recruiters Build a live feed of open roles at target companies without checking each career page.
Job market analysts Track hiring volume and salary ranges by role, city, or industry over time.
Job board aggregators Pull fresh Glassdoor listings into a multi-source job search platform.
Sales teams Identify companies that are hiring for roles your product serves.

What it does

This Actor collects Glassdoor job listings from keyword searches, location filters, company pages, or direct URLs and returns each job as a flat row.

  • ๐Ÿ”Ž Keyword search: supply a job title or skill and a location, and the Actor builds the search URL for you.
  • ๐Ÿข Company search: give a company name to scrape every open role that employer has posted on Glassdoor.
  • ๐Ÿ”— Direct URL: paste any Glassdoor job search URL you have already filtered, and the Actor reads it page by page.
  • ๐Ÿ“‹ Full descriptions: enable the optional detail fetch to collect the complete job body text, not the snippet.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with Glassdoor data

๐Ÿ“Š Monitor hiring trends.

A market analyst runs the Actor weekly for "data engineer" in five cities and plots salary estimate changes and listing counts over the quarter.

๐ŸŽฏ Build a target account list.

A sales team scrapes all open roles at 50 enterprise companies, then filters for departments that match their buyer persona.

๐Ÿค– Feed a job aggregator.

A developer runs the Actor daily, pipes the JSON output into a multi-board job site, and keeps Glassdoor listings fresh alongside other sources.

๐Ÿ“ Research job descriptions.

An HR consultant enables full descriptions, scrapes 200 "product manager" postings, and analyzes the most requested skills for a competency model.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a keyword and location, a company name, or a direct Glassdoor search URL, and set a maximum item count so the run stops when you have enough. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "startUrl": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/jobs.htm?sc.keyword=software+engineer",
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "startUrl": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/jobs.htm?sc.keyword=software+engineer",
 "maxItems": 200
}

Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

Run it

  1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
  2. Open the Glassdoor Jobs Scraper.
  3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
  4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Glassdoor through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/glassdoor-jobs-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your keyword, location, or company name matches how Glassdoor writes it. Try the search on glassdoor.com first. If it works there, copy the exact URL and paste it into the Start URL field.

Do full descriptions slow the run down?

Only a little. Descriptions are fetched in batches of 10 jobs, so a 100-job run with descriptions usually finishes in under a minute.

Some jobs are missing the salary field.

Glassdoor does not show a salary estimate on every listing. If the site does not display it, the Actor cannot collect it. The field will be empty in your output.

I get fewer results than my Maximum jobs setting.

The Actor stops when Glassdoor has no more matching listings. Your search may return fewer jobs than the cap you set. Try broadening the keyword or location.

The Actor returns an error or times out.

Glassdoor may be rate-limiting the requests. Try again after a few minutes, reduce the Maximum jobs count, or run the Actor with a lower concurrency setting if you are using a custom Apify plan.

FAQ

Question Answer
Do I need a Glassdoor account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public job search pages that anyone can visit in a browser. No login, no API registration, and no Glassdoor partner agreement is required.
Can I scrape jobs for a specific company? Yes. Use the Company Name field to search for all open roles at one employer, or paste a direct company jobs URL into the Start URL field.
How do I get the full job description? Enable the "Include Job Descriptions" checkbox. The Actor collects the complete body text for each job, along with its posting date and map coordinates.
What location formats work? City names like "San Francisco", "London", or "Berlin" work best. You can also try state names or "Remote". The Actor passes your text directly to the Glassdoor location filter.
How many jobs can I collect in one run? Set the Maximum jobs field to any number up to 1,000,000. Keyword, location and URL searches page through the results until your limit is reached or Glassdoor runs out of matching listings. Company mode returns the employer's first page of listings, up to 30 jobs.
Can I combine keyword and company search? Not in the same run through the input fields. Use the keyword and location fields for a broad search, or the company name field for one employer. For a combined filter, build the URL on Glassdoor first and paste it into the Start URL field.
Does this Actor collect salary information? Yes. When Glassdoor shows a salary estimate or employer-provided range on the listing, that data appears in the output row.
What output formats are supported? You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify storage tab after the run finishes.
Is this Actor legal to use? The Actor only accesses publicly available web pages. You are responsible for complying with Glassdoor's terms of service and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically? Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. Set a daily or weekly trigger, and the Actor will collect fresh listings on your chosen cadence.

Next step

Each row carries the fields that these ParseForge jobs Actors take as input:

  • Every open role at that employer, from its own ATS. Take companyName, find the company's careers page (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Ashby and 16 more ATS are supported) and paste it into careerSiteUrls of Career Site Jobs Scraper. It returns everything the employer lists on its own site, including roles never posted on Glassdoor, with salary and a geocoded location.
  • The employer's Indeed listings. Put companyName into searchQuery of Indeed Jobs Scraper, or paste the Indeed company jobs page (for example https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Amazon.com/jobs) into startUrls, to see full descriptions, pay ranges and employer size.
  • Pay benchmark for the same role. For tech employers, pass companyName as a Levels.fyi company slug (for example google) in companies of Levels.fyi Salary Scraper, with the job family that matches jobTitle (for example software-engineer) in jobFamilies. You get base, stock and bonus by level to set against the posted salary.
