LinkedIn Jobs Scraper

Scrape LinkedIn job postings by title, location, and filters, up to a million per run. Every job comes with its description, salary, skills, company details, and raw HTML. No login, no cookies, no API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

LinkedIn's official API requires partner approval, OAuth tokens, and strict rate limits. This scraper reads the public job search pages directly, filtering by date posted, job type, experience level, workplace type, Easy Apply, and minimum salary. It returns each match in one consistent schema, with optional full job descriptions and extracted skills.

Who uses it What they scrape LinkedIn for
Recruiters Monitor competitor hiring volumes and job descriptions for specific roles.
Job boards Aggregate listings from LinkedIn into a centralized search index.
Market analysts Track which skills and experience levels are in demand by region.
Sales teams Find companies that are hiring to identify new business opportunities.

What it does

This Actor collects LinkedIn job postings from a search query and location, and returns each one as a flat row with title, company, location, link, and optional full description, salary, skills, and raw HTML.

  • ๐Ÿ” Search by title and location: Enter a job title, keyword, or company name and a city, state, country, or 'Remote'.
  • ๐Ÿ“… Date filters: Limit results to jobs posted in the past 24 hours, past week, or past month.
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Job type and experience: Filter by full-time, part-time, contract, internship, and more, plus entry level through executive.
  • ๐Ÿ  Workplace type: Narrow to on-site, remote, or hybrid roles only.
  • โœ… Easy Apply only: Return only jobs that accept LinkedIn Easy Apply applications.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Minimum salary: Set a USD salary floor at $40k, $60k, $80k, $100k, $120k, $140k, $160k, $180k, or $200k+.
  • ๐Ÿ“„ Full job details: Fetch complete descriptions, company info, and salary data, or disable for 5-10x faster basic-only runs.
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Skill extraction: Parse and return a list of skills mentioned in each job description.
  • ๐Ÿ“œ Raw HTML: Include the raw HTML of each job detail page for custom downstream parsing.

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

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 search query and location combination returns results on LinkedIn.com. Try broadening the location or removing restrictive filters like Easy Apply or a high minimum salary.

Why are some jobs missing full details?

Some LinkedIn job postings block detail access. Enable 'Include Blocked Jobs' to still receive basic info for those listings with an isBlocked=true flag.

The scraper is running slowly. How can I speed it up?

Disable 'Scrape Full Job Details' to switch to basic mode, which is 5-10x faster. You can also increase max concurrency, though this may raise the chance of blocks.

I'm getting blocked or seeing empty results after many runs.

Reduce the max concurrency setting to a lower number, such as 5, to make requests less aggressive and avoid triggering LinkedIn's rate limits.

FAQ

Question Answer
Do I need a LinkedIn account or API key to use this? No. The scraper reads public LinkedIn job search pages and requires no login, cookies, or API credentials.
Can I scrape jobs from a specific company? Yes. Enter the company name in the search query field, and optionally add a location to narrow results to that company's postings.
How many jobs can I collect in one run? You can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 jobs. The actual number returned depends on how many match your search and filters.
What is the difference between basic and full detail mode? Basic mode returns title, company, location, and link and runs 5-10x faster. Full detail mode also fetches the job description, salary, skills, and company details.
Can I filter by remote jobs only? Yes. Set the workplace type filter to 'Remote' to return only jobs listed as remote.
Does this scraper handle LinkedIn's anti-scraping measures? The Actor runs on Apify's infrastructure with rotating proxies and configurable concurrency. Lower the max concurrency if you encounter blocks.
Can I get the raw HTML of each job page? Yes. Enable the 'Include Raw HTML' option to receive the full HTML of each job detail page in your output for custom parsing.
How do I extract skills from job descriptions? Enable the 'Extract Skills' option. The scraper will parse the job description and return a list of skills mentioned.
What export formats are supported? You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform.
Can I schedule this scraper to run daily? Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run the Actor at any interval, such as hourly or daily, to track new postings over time.
