Indeed Global Job Scraper with Company Salary Reports: MCP config, n8n workflow and API

One record per Indeed job listing, with title signals, normalized salary, location, benefits, contacts, coverage counts, and the employer's rating and salary-by-title report.

Fastest route, in Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary"

One click, signs in with Apify on first use:

Any other client, one command (writes the config for 25+ agents, including Windsurf, Zed, Cline and Goose):

npx add-mcp "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary" --name indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary

Every file on this page is generated from the Actor's published schema: 51 of 51 checks pass (validated, not run)
  • MCP configs: 7 of 7 (Uses Apify's hosted MCP endpoint over HTTPS; The tools parameter lists exactly the chosen Actors as owner/name; JSON configs parse and use the client's top-level key and the same URL; Codex TOML has a [mcp_servers.<name>] table with url and bearer_token_env_var; CLI commands quote the same URL and use the streamable HTTP transport; One-click install links decode back to the same URL and carry no token; Only placeholders, no real token)
  • n8n workflow: 11 of 11 (It has a nodes array and a connections object; Every node has a name, type, typeVersion, position and parameters; Node names are unique; Every node type is a known n8n core node (or the Apify node); Every node uses a typeVersion that n8n ships; Every connection points at an existing node; At least one trigger starts the workflow; Every working node is reachable from a trigger; Apify calls use POST and a credential for the token; Actor input matches the Actor's published input schema; No token or credential value is embedded)
  • long-run workflow: 11 of 11 (It has a nodes array and a connections object; Every node has a name, type, typeVersion, position and parameters; Node names are unique; Every node type is a known n8n core node (or the Apify node); Every node uses a typeVersion that n8n ships; Every connection points at an existing node; At least one trigger starts the workflow; Every working node is reachable from a trigger; Apify calls use POST and a credential for the token; Actor input matches the Actor's published input schema; No token or credential value is embedded)
  • example input: 5 of 5 (The schema has no required fields; Every input key exists in the published input schema; Every value has the type the schema declares; Every choice field uses one of its published options; Numbers respect the published minimum and maximum)
  • code snippets: 4 of 4 (curl calls the documented run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint for this Actor; Python (apify-client 3.x typed Run) and JavaScript use the official apify-client call() then read the run's dataset; Multi-line shell commands continue every line with a backslash; Token read from APIFY_TOKEN, none embedded)
  • SKILL.md: 13 of 13 (SKILL.md starts with YAML front matter; name is 1-64 lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens; name matches the skill folder name; description is present, at most 1024 characters and has no angle brackets; front matter uses only spec fields; compatibility is at most 500 characters; body has instructions; field descriptions end on whole sentences; no credential values are embedded; the token is read from APIFY_TOKEN; the run command calls this Actor's run-sync endpoint; the example input is valid JSON; the example input matches the published input schema)

What the checks cover

What a run costs

Every run pays a start fee plus a price per result. On the Free plan this Actor's start fee is $0.40 (the start event, $0.10 per GB, times its default 4 GB of memory), $0.12 on Business; results cost $0.99 per 1,000 results (pay per event). Checked 2026-11-12.

Results in one runStartResultsRun total
10$0.40$0.010$0.41
100$0.40$0.10$0.50
1,000$0.40$0.99$1.39

Plus Apify platform usage for the run, which the caller pays. A smaller memory setting lowers the start fee if the Actor still finishes. Prices can change; the Store pricing tab is the source of truth.

An example record

One record as the Actor's own README shows it (published by the Actor, not a run of ours; long values shortened). Your runs return records shaped like this.

MCP config

One URL works in every client: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary. It exposes this Actor as a tool, plus fetch-actor-details so the agent can read the input schema before calling it. Pick your client:

Claude Code configterminal or .mcp.json

claude mcp add --transport http indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary"

Run the command in your project folder. Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Full Claude Code setup

Import with Workflows, Import from file, or paste into the canvas. Credentials are not included: you select them after import.

All 7 destination variants pass the same checks at build time. Built-in nodes only, at versions n8n has shipped since 1.80: they import on n8n Cloud and older self-hosted instances without community nodes. Prefer Apify's own node? The verified community node @apify/n8n-nodes-apify runs the same Actor with OAuth sign-in on n8n Cloud.

Runs longer than 5 minutes? The synchronous endpoint answers HTTP 408 after 300 seconds. The long-run variant starts the run, checks it every minute until it ends, then reads its dataset (HTTP Request, If and Stop and Error nodes only).

Download the long-run workflow11 of 11 checks pass, not executed

Call it from code

Run the Actor from a script or your own agent framework with the Apify API. The call waits for the run to finish and returns the records. The input is the example below.

curl

API docs on Apify
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/nimbryxo-studio~indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \

Example input

These values come from the Actor's Store prefill and required defaults. Change the search, URL or limit before your first run.

FieldTypeWhat it does
position string Job title, skill or keywords, e.g. web developer, nurse. Search one company's jobs with company:Amazon, titles only with title:(data analyst); quotes, OR and -exclusions work too.
location string City, region or postal code, e.g. San Francisco, Austin, TX, 10001, London. Leave empty to search the whole country.
country string (62 options) Indeed country site to search. Results come in the site's language and salaries in its currency.
maxItemsPerSearch integer Maximum number of jobs to save for each search (the keyword search and each search URL). Indeed's cursor stops at roughly 1,000 fetched rows, including duplicates; use locationShards or more search URLs to collect…
maxItems integer Optional hard cap across every search and pasted job URL. The run stops as soon as this many jobs are saved. Leave empty for no global cap.
shardByDate boolean Run each keyword search five times, for the last 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and remove duplicates. Useful for freshness coverage when you need more than one cursor walk per search.
easyApplyOnly boolean Only jobs you can apply to directly on Indeed.
includeCompanyRatings boolean Add the employer's HTML company report: CEO approval, founding year, work wellbeing scores and average salaries by job title, plus an industry fallback. Ratings, review count and the five category ratings are always…
includeSponsored boolean Add isSponsored from Indeed's mobile search page for jobs that also appear there. This costs one extra lightweight page per search and is best effort: jobs outside the first mobile result page keep the field omitted…
includeDescriptionHtml boolean Also save the job description as HTML (descriptionHtml) with its formatting. The plain-text description is always included.
saveOnlyUniqueItems boolean Save each job once even when several searches find it. Jobs are always unique within one search.

# Indeed Global Job Scraper with Company Salary Reports

Use this skill to fetch Indeed data with the Apify Actor `nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | string | Job title, skill or keywords, e.g. `web developer`, `nurse`. Search one company's jobs with `company:Amazon`, titles only with `title:(data analyst)`; quotes, OR and -exclusions work too. |
| `location` | string | City, region or postal code, e.g. `San Francisco`, `Austin, TX`, `10001`, `London`. Leave empty to search the whole country. |
| `country` | string | Indeed country site to search. Results come in the site's language and salaries in its currency. |
| `maxItemsPerSearch` | integer | Maximum number of jobs to save for each search (the keyword search and each search URL). Indeed's cursor stops at roughly 1,000 fetched rows, including duplicates; use `locationShards` or more search URLs to collect more. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Optional hard cap across every search and pasted job URL. The run stops as soon as this many jobs are saved. Leave empty for no global cap. |
| `shardByDate` | boolean | Run each keyword search five times, for the last 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and remove duplicates. Useful for freshness coverage when you need more than one cursor walk per search. |
| `easyApplyOnly` | boolean | Only jobs you can apply to directly on Indeed. |
| `includeCompanyRatings` | boolean | Add the employer's HTML company report: CEO approval, founding year, work wellbeing scores and average salaries by job title, plus an industry fallback. |
| `includeSponsored` | boolean | Add `isSponsored` from Indeed's mobile search page for jobs that also appear there. This costs one extra lightweight page per search and is best effort: jobs outside the first mobile result page keep the field omitted rather than guessed. |
| `includeDescriptionHtml` | boolean | Also save the job description as HTML (`descriptionHtml`) with its formatting. The plain-text `description` is always included. |
| `saveOnlyUniqueItems` | boolean | Save each job once even when several searches find it. Jobs are always unique within one search. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "position": "web developer",
  "location": "San Francisco",
  "country": "US",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 3,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "shardByDate": false,
  "easyApplyOnly": false,
  "includeCompanyRatings": false,
  "includeSponsored": false,
  "includeDescriptionHtml": false,
  "saveOnlyUniqueItems": true
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `positionName`, `displayTitle`, `company`, `rating`, `location`, `salary`, `jobType`, `remoteWorkType`, `postedAt`, `isRepost`, `isSponsored`, `easyApply`, `searchFacetTotal`, `searchRetrieved`, `url`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryCurrency`, `salarySource`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.

  • Claude Code: save it as ~/.claude/skills/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/SKILL.md, or .claude/skills/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/SKILL.md in a project.
  • Codex and other agents: ~/.agents/skills/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/SKILL.md, or .agents/skills/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary/ in a project.
  • Or let the skills CLI place it for your agent: npx skills add https://recipeforagents.com --skill indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary
  • Set APIFY_TOKEN in the agent's environment.

Troubleshooting

Why does the client say Unauthorized or invalid token?

Every Apify Actor tool needs a signed-in Apify account. Reconnect the server so the OAuth sign-in runs again, or switch to the token variant: an Authorization: Bearer header with an API token from Apify Console, Settings, API and integrations. For a local server the token must be in the server's own env block, not only in your shell.

Source: Apify MCP server README

Why did my agent's tool list change after an update?

Without a tools parameter Apify's server loads its default tool set, which changes between releases. The URLs on this site pin the tools with ?tools=, so the agent always gets the same Actor tool plus fetch-actor-details. Apify's README gives the same advice for production.

Source: Apify MCP server README

What happens when the agent sends input the Actor rejects?

The server answers with the Actor's input schema, so the agent can fix the arguments and call again. The fetch-actor-details tool in every scoped URL lets it read that schema before the first call.

Questions

How do I connect Indeed Global Job Scraper with Company Salary Reports to Claude?

In Claude Code run: claude mcp add --transport http indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary". In Claude Desktop or claude.ai add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nimbryxo-studio/indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary and sign in to Apify. The agent then gets one tool for this Actor plus a tool that reads its input schema.

What input does Indeed Global Job Scraper with Company Salary Reports need?

No field is required by the published input schema. The example on this page uses the Actor's own Store prefill, so it is a sensible first run.

What does Indeed Global Job Scraper with Company Salary Reports cost to run?

The Apify Store lists $0.99 per 1,000 results (pay per event) for this Actor, checked 2026-11-12. Runs are billed to the Apify account whose token or sign-in the agent uses; Apify platform usage can add to that.

Which tools does the MCP config give my agent?

6 tools: fetch-actor-details, nimbryxo-studio--indeed-global-job-scraper-with-company-salary, get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, get-key-value-store-record, abort-actor-run. Apify's MCP server listed them for this exact URL on 2026-11-11.
