ZipRecruiter is one of the largest job boards in the United States, and it runs separate sites for eight other countries. This Actor covers all of them from one input: pick a country, type a job title and a location, and it returns every matching job in one consistent schema. In the United States and Canada it uses ZipRecruiter's own filters for date posted, workplace, employment type, experience level, salary range, and Quick Apply, so the results match what a candidate sees on the site.

Who uses it	What they scrape ZipRecruiter for
Recruitment agencies	A live feed of every new role in their niche, city by city, without checking the site by hand.
Compensation and market researchers	Pay ranges as numbers, normalized to an annual figure, to compare roles, cities, and seniority levels.
Job boards and aggregators	Fresh listings with full descriptions and apply links to publish on their own platform.
Sales and business development teams	Companies hiring for specific roles right now, as a signal for lead generation.

What it does

This Actor searches ZipRecruiter the way a candidate does and returns each job as a flat row. It can also open every job page to add the full description.

• 🌎 Nine countries in one Actor: the United States and Canada on ziprecruiter.com, plus the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Australia, India, and New Zealand sites.
• 🔍 Keyword and location search: a job title like "nurse" or "software engineer" and a location like "Austin, TX", "Toronto, ON" or "Manchester". Leave the location empty to search the whole country.
• 💰 Pay as numbers: salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod (hour, week, month, year), and salaryMinAnnual / salaryMaxAnnual so hourly and yearly pay can be compared directly.
• 🎛️ ZipRecruiter's own filters in the US and Canada: posted within N days, radius in miles, remote / hybrid / on-site, employment type, experience level, minimum and maximum annual salary, and Quick Apply only.
• 📋 Direct URL input: paste search URLs with filters already applied, or individual job URLs, from any of the nine sites. One run can mix countries.
• 📄 Full job descriptions: the complete text and the original HTML, plus share links and, when the posting has them, requirements, skills, and a contact email.

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

Configure the run

Search by keyword and location, or paste ZipRecruiter URLs. Set a maximum number of listings per run (and per URL) so your dataset stays the size you need. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
  "country": "us",
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Remote, full-time data analyst jobs posted in the last week that pay at least $70,000 a year, anywhere in the US, without opening each job page:

{
  "country": "us",
  "query": "data analyst",
  "workplace": "remote",
  "daysPosted": 7,
  "employmentTypes": ["full_time"],
  "salaryMin": 70000,
  "maxItems": 500,
  "includeDetails": false
}

Nurses in Toronto, and electricians in Manchester, from URLs in one run:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.com/jobs-search?search=nurse&location=Toronto%2C+ON&country=ca" },
    { "url": "https://www.ziprecruiter.co.uk/jobs/search?q=electrician&l=Manchester" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "maxItemsPerStartUrl": 100
}

A ZipRecruiter US search goes about 25 to 29 pages deep, roughly 500 to 580 jobs. To collect more for a broad keyword, split it by location or filters, or paste several URLs.

Output

One row per job. A US example (description shortened):

{
  "jobId": "HWdEqkOO0ad7L-G2Rn9e4g",
  "title": "Entry-Level Occupational Safety and Health Data Analyst",
  "companyName": "ERG",
  "location": "Alexandria, VA",
  "city": "Alexandria",
  "state": "VA",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "workplaceType": "Remote",
  "isRemote": true,
  "salary": "$58K - $70K/yr",
  "salaryMin": 58000,
  "salaryMax": 70000,
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",
  "salaryPeriod": "year",
  "salaryMinAnnual": 58000,
  "salaryMaxAnnual": 70000,
  "salarySource": "provided",
  "salaryIsEstimated": false,
  "benefits": ["Medical", "Dental", "Paid time off", "Life insurance", "Retirement"],
  "postedDate": "2026-09-22T19:38:05Z",
  "firstPostedDate": "2026-09-22T19:38:05Z",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.ziprecruiter.com/c/ERG/Job/Entry-Level-Occupational-Safety-and-Health-Data-Analyst/-in-Alexandria,VA?jid=d126a86d89ffd032",
  "isExternalApply": false,
  "companyProfileUrl": "https://www.ziprecruiter.com/co/ERG/Jobs",
  "description": "Job Description ERG is a research and consulting firm that provides a wide range of support to federal, state, and commercial clients...",
  "searchCountry": "us"
}

salarySource says where the pay figures come from: provided by the employer, parsed from the description, estimated by ZipRecruiter, or not_displayed when ZipRecruiter has figures for the job but does not show them to candidates. postedDate is the date the site shows and filters by; firstPostedDate is when the listing first went up, which can be much older for roles the employer keeps reopening.

On the international sites the search results carry title, company, location, summary, and posting date; with full descriptions on, the row also gets the description, employment type, coordinates, apply details, and the salary when the posting states it.

Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Job Postings Scraper for ZipRecruiter.
3. Pick a country, type a job title and a location, 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 ZipRecruiter job postings 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/ziprecruiter-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language, for example "find remote data analyst jobs in the US posted this week that pay over $80k".

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the keyword and location return results on the matching ZipRecruiter site first, and that the country is right: "Dublin" alone searches a Dublin in the United States, while "Dublin, Ireland" searches the Irish site. Very narrow filter combinations can also return nothing.

The run is taking a long time.

With full descriptions on, the Actor opens every job page, which takes a few seconds per job in the United States and Canada. Turn it off if the search fields are enough; a search-only run reads 20 jobs per page.

Some jobs have no salary.

Not every posting states pay. In the US and Canada, salarySource tells you where the figures came from, and showSalary says whether ZipRecruiter displays them.

I pasted a URL and filled in the keyword, and the run stopped.

The URL field and the search fields are mutually exclusive. Clear one of them and run again.

I need more than about 500 jobs for one keyword in the US.

ZipRecruiter stops paging a single search after roughly 25 to 29 pages. Run the keyword per state or city, or add filters, and the Actor removes duplicates across the searches in one run.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Which countries does it cover?	The United States and Canada (ziprecruiter.com), the United Kingdom (ziprecruiter.co.uk), Ireland (.ie), Germany (.de), France (.fr), Australia (.com.au), India (.in), and New Zealand (.nz).
What happens if I leave the country empty?	The country is read from the location, so "Cork, Ireland" searches Ireland and "Toronto, Canada" searches Canada. With no country named anywhere, the United States is searched.
Can I get the full job description?	Yes. Leave "Include full job description" on and the Actor opens each job page for the full text and HTML.
Which filters work in which countries?	Posted within N days and workplace work everywhere. Employment type, experience level, salary range, and Quick Apply use ZipRecruiter's own filters in the United States and Canada. Sort by newest applies to the international sites.
Is the radius in miles or kilometres?	Miles in the United States and Canada (ZipRecruiter offers 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100). The international sites use their own radius unit.
Can I paste a URL with filters already applied?	Yes, search URLs and individual job URLs from any of the nine sites. One run can mix countries.
Does it handle pagination?	Yes. It keeps loading result pages until it reaches your maximum or the search runs out, and it removes duplicate jobs.
What output formats are supported?	CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform, or through the API and integrations.
Can I keep only jobs that apply on the employer's site?	Yes. Turn on "External apply only". In the US and Canada, "Quick Apply only" does the opposite and keeps jobs you apply to directly on ZipRecruiter.
