Overview
Naukri.com Jobs Scraper
Scrape Naukri.com job listings by keyword, city, experience, and work type, up to a million per run. Every job comes with its title, company, salary, location, and full description. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Naukri.com is India's largest job portal, but manually copying listings for market research or recruitment analysis is slow and error-prone. This actor reads the public job search results directly, filtering by keyword, city, experience level, and work arrangement, and returns each match in one consistent schema.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Naukri.com for |
|---|---|
| Recruitment agencies | Build a fresh pipeline of open positions matching client mandates across Indian cities. |
| Market researchers | Track which skills and salary bands are trending for a specific job title this quarter. |
| Job boards and aggregators | Populate a niche job site with current listings filtered by work-from-home or hybrid roles. |
| Sales and lead gen teams | Identify companies that are actively hiring for roles your product or service supports. |
What it does
This Actor collects Naukri.com job listings by keyword and optional location, experience, and work type filters, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔎 Keyword-driven search: Feed it a job title like 'python developer' or 'data analyst' and get every matching listing.
- 📍 Location filter: Narrow results to a specific city such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, or Hyderabad.
- 📅 Experience filter: Set a minimum years of experience to target entry-level, mid-senior, or leadership roles.
- 🏢 Work type filter: Isolate remote, work-from-office, or hybrid positions with one dropdown.
- 🔄 Sort order: Retrieve results by relevance or by the most recently posted jobs first.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Use with AI agents (MCP)
Give an AI agent live access to Naukri.com through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

Troubleshooting
The actor returns zero results even though I know jobs exist for my keyword.
Check that your keyword spelling matches common Naukri.com listings. Try removing the location or experience filter to broaden the search, and ensure the keyword is not too narrow or contains special characters.
The run stops before reaching my max items limit.
This happens when Naukri.com has no more pages of results for your query. Try a more general keyword or remove some filters to increase the total number of available listings.
Some job listings are missing the salary field.
Naukri.com does not require employers to post a salary. If the salary is not displayed on the website, the field will be empty in your dataset. This is expected behavior.
I am getting a timeout or the actor is running very slowly.
The actor respects Naukri.com's servers by pacing requests. If you are scraping a very large number of jobs, the run will take longer. Increase the actor's timeout in the run settings if needed.
The location filter is not returning jobs in my target city.
Use the exact city name as it appears on Naukri.com, for example 'bangalore' not 'bengaluru'. If the city name is ambiguous, try the search without a location filter and filter the results afterwards.
