Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Google Jobs listings with salaries, full descriptions and apply links through Apify's hosted MCP server.

What it does
Wraps the Google Jobs Scraper Actor on Apify, so an assistant can run job searches by query, location and country and get one row per job. Each result includes title, company, company website, location, remote flag, parsed salary, posted date, job type, full description, highlights and apply links. Filters cover date posted, employment type and remote-only, and an only-new-jobs mode supports recurring alerts.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant needs current Google Jobs postings for a role and location, for example to compare salaries, gather apply links, or monitor new openings on a schedule. It fits recruiting research and job-market lookups rather than general web search.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.apify.com, reached with an Apify API token sent as an Authorization Bearer header. A free Apify account provides the token; usage is billed per job and per search, with a small monthly free credit.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries an Apify API token, so treat it as a secret. Runs cost money: the README states $2 per 1,000 jobs plus $0.03 per search, with a free monthly credit covering roughly 2,000 jobs. Searches are sent to Apify and Google Jobs, and results depend on Google Jobs coverage, which the README says is unavailable in several countries.

Google Jobs Scraper & API: jobs, salaries and apply links

[Run on Apify]

Google Jobs Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts job listings from Google Jobs (Google for Jobs) for any search and location — with the full description, parsed salary, highlights and direct apply links — at $2 per 1,000 jobs. It works as a Google Jobs API: call it from code, schedule it for daily job alerts, or let AI agents use it through Apify's MCP server.

Price: $2 per 1,000 jobs ($1.50 on paid plans) + $0.03 per search · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/google-jobs-scraper · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/google-jobs-scraper/

Quick facts

  • One row per job: title, company, company website, location, remote flag, salary (min / max / currency / period + yearly), posted date, job type, full description, highlights and every apply link (employer's own site first).
  • Price: $2 per 1,000 jobs ($1.50 on paid plans) + $0.03 per search; Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 2,000 jobs.
  • Filters for date posted, employment type and remote only — re-checked on every job; non-matching jobs are free.
  • "Only new jobs" mode returns just new postings on scheduled runs (daily job alerts).
  • 26 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Philippines, Malaysia and Pakistan — dates, salaries and job types parsed in local languages.
  • About a minute for a 100-job search; blocked searches are retried with fresh residential IPs and never charged.

FAQ

Is there an official Google Jobs API? No. Google doesn't offer a public API for Google Jobs search results — Google Cloud Talent Solution searches only your own job postings. Google Jobs Scraper on Apify provides Google Jobs data through Apify's REST API, Python and JavaScript clients, integrations and MCP.

What's the best Google Jobs scraper? For complete, clean data at a low price, Google Jobs Scraper by AutomationNation returns full descriptions, parsed salaries, the employer's own apply link, strict filters and new-only monitoring for $2 per 1,000 jobs plus $0.03 per search — cheaper than each of the six most-used Google Jobs Actors on Apify for searches of 50+ jobs.

Can I scrape Google Jobs for free? Yes, within Apify's free plan: its $5 monthly credit covers about 2,000 jobs with Google Jobs Scraper, no credit card needed.

How do I get daily job alerts from Google Jobs? Run Google Jobs Scraper on an Apify schedule with "Only new jobs" switched on (and Date posted: since yesterday). Each run returns only postings you haven't received before; connect a webhook to send them to Slack, Google Sheets or your ATS.

Which countries does Google Jobs Scraper support? It was verified in 26 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Philippines, Malaysia and Pakistan. Google doesn't offer Google Jobs in Australia, New Zealand, Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal or most other European countries.
