LinkedIn searches globally & uses only the location parameter.
ZipRecruiter searches for jobs in US/Canada & uses only the location parameter.
Indeed & Glassdoor supports most countries, but the country_indeed parameter is required. Additionally, use the location
parameter to narrow down the location, e.g. city & state if necessary.
You can specify the following countries when searching on Indeed (use the exact name, * indicates support for Glassdoor):
| Argentina | Australia* | Austria* | Bahrain |
| Belgium* | Brazil* | Canada* | Chile |
| China | Colombia | Costa Rica | Czech Republic |
| Denmark | Ecuador | Egypt | Finland |
| France* | Germany* | Greece | Hong Kong* |
| Hungary | India* | Indonesia | Ireland* |
| Israel | Italy* | Japan | Kuwait |
| Luxembourg | Malaysia | Mexico* | Morocco |
| Netherlands* | New Zealand* | Nigeria | Norway |
| Oman | Pakistan | Panama | Peru |
| Philippines | Poland | Portugal | Qatar |
| Romania | Saudi Arabia | Singapore* | South Africa |
| South Korea | Spain* | Sweden | Switzerland* |
| Taiwan | Thailand | Turkey | Ukraine |
| United Arab Emirates | UK* | USA* | Uruguay |
| Venezuela | Vietnam* |
- Indeed is the best scraper currently with no rate limiting.
- All the job board endpoints are capped at around 1000 jobs on a given search.
- LinkedIn is the most restrictive and usually rate limits around the 10th page.
Q: Encountering issues with your queries?
A: Try reducing the number of results_wanted and/or broadening the filters. If problems
persist, submit an issue.
Q: Received a response code 429?
A: This indicates that you have been blocked by the job board site for sending too many requests. All of the job board sites are aggressive with blocking. We recommend:
- Waiting some time between scrapes (site-dependent).
- Trying a VPN or proxy to change your IP address.
