What is the Indeed API?
The Indeed API exposes 5 endpoints covering job search, job details, company profiles, company search, and salary statistics from Indeed.com. The search_jobs endpoint returns paginated job cards with titles, companies, locations, and salary snippets, while get_job_details delivers the full job description, benefits, hiring insights, and structured salary data for any job identified by its 16-character job key.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/6ec17689-852f-49ed-b969-1b787c8344e7/search_jobs?jt=contract&query=software+engineer&start=0&explvl=senior_level&fromage=1&location=remote' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Search for job listings on Indeed. Returns the full search results page data including job cards with metadata (titles, companies, locations, salary snippets), pagination links, and search metadata. The response is the server-side rendered page state containing all job card data for the current page of results. Two optional exclusion controls narrow the result set on the server: exclude_staffing_agencies=true removes postings whose text matches staffing/recruitment keywords and postings from a fixed built-in list of well-known US staffing and recruiting agencies (e.g. Robert Half, TEKsystems, Insight Global, Randstad, Aerotek, Kforce, Apex Systems, Kelly, Adecco, Manpower, Jobot, CyberCoders, Motion Recruitment, Aston Carter, Express Employment Professionals, Spherion, Hays, Michael Page, LHH, Actalent); it is a keyword- and name-based heuristic, not a complete recruiter filter, so smaller or regional agencies may still appear. exclude_companies removes postings from the exact company names you supply and can be combined with exclude_staffing_agencies. When the exclusions match every result, the response is a valid empty search (totalNumResults 0, empty jobKeysWithTwoPaneEligibility, noSearchResultModel populated). One round trip per page; pagination is by the start offset.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| jt | string | Job type filter: fulltime, parttime, contract, internship, temporary |
| queryrequired | string | Job title, keywords, or company name to search for |
| start | integer | Pagination offset in increments of 10 (0, 10, 20, ...) |
| explvl | string | Experience level filter: entry_level, mid_level, senior_level |
| fromage | string | Maximum days since the job was posted: 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 |
| location | string | City, state, zip code, or 'remote' |
| exclude_companies | string | Comma-separated exact company names whose postings are excluded from results, e.g. Robert Half,TEKsystems. Double quotes inside a name are ignored. |
| exclude_staffing_agencies | boolean | When true, excludes postings from recruiters and staffing agencies using a built-in keyword and agency-name heuristic (see endpoint description). Any value other than true/false is rejected. |

}About the Indeed API
Job Search and Details
The search_jobs endpoint accepts a required query string plus optional filters: location (city, state, zip, or 'remote'), jt for job type (fulltime, parttime, contract, internship, temporary), explvl for experience level (entry_level, mid_level, senior_level), fromage to cap results by posting age (1–30 days), and a start offset for pagination in increments of 10. The response includes searchTitleBarModel with a totalNumResults count, pageLinks for navigating result pages, relatedQueries for suggested search variants, and jobKeysWithTwoPaneEligibility mapping each job key to its eligibility flag — those keys feed directly into get_job_details.
get_job_details takes a single jk parameter (the 16-character hex job key from search results) and returns a detailed object: jobTitle, a salaryInfoModel with salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryType, and salaryText, a hiringInsightsModel covering posting age and candidate count, and a jobInfoWrapperModel containing the full job description. Additional structured fields in hostQueryExecutionResult include employer info, location, and benefits.
Company Profiles and Search
search_companies takes a query string and returns an array of company objects, each with name, rating, reviewsCount, companyUrl, sectors, and logoUrl. The companyUrl field carries the slug needed for get_company_profile. That endpoint returns aboutSectionViewModel (description, CEO, industry, headquarters, revenue), reviewsSectionViewModel with recent employee reviews, interviewsSectionViewModel with interview questions and difficulty/duration summaries, salarySectionViewModel with salary data by role category, and reviewRatingOverallSectionViewModel with historical overall ratings and category breakdowns (workLifeBalance, culture, management, and others).
Salary Data
get_salary_info accepts a required job_title and an optional location. It returns localSalaryAggregate and nationalSalaryAggregate, each containing salary statistics — median, mean, and standard deviation — broken out by period: HOURLY, DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, and YEARLY. salaryMapInfo provides a state-by-state salary breakdown with percentChangeFromBase values, and titleInfo confirms the normalized title that was resolved.
The Indeed API is a managed, monitored endpoint for indeed.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when indeed.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official indeed.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

localSalaryAggregate and nationalSalaryAggregate include statistics — median, mean, and standard deviation — for five periods: HOURLY, DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, and YEARLY. The salaryMapInfo field adds a state-by-state breakdown with a percentChangeFromBase value for each state.Does the API return job application tracking data or saved job lists for Indeed user accounts?+
How current are the job listings returned by `search_jobs`?+
