Indeed API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Indeed job detail API to extract supported public Indeed data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/indeed/jobReturns one Indeed job posting by its job key (the `job_key` field returned by search). Primary transport is Indeed's own credential-free GraphQL API; falls back to the original web-page transport if that fails. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| jk | string | Yes | Indeed job key (16-character hex) | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/indeed/job" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Pro | $79/mo | 400,000 | No daily cap | 120/min | $0.30/1,000 overage credits |
| Business | $199/mo | 1,200,000 | No daily cap | 300/min | $0.20/1,000 overage credits |
| Enterprise | $499/mo | 5,000,000 | No daily cap | 1,000/min | $0.12/1,000 overage credits |
This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- A nonexistent, expired, or no-longer-available job key returns a `404`. - `remote` / `employment_type` / `benefits` / `direct_apply` are only populated when the web-page transport served the response — they are not currently selected from the GraphQL API and so are omitted on a GraphQL-served response. `description_text`, `description_html`, `salary_text`, `salary_currency`, and `company_url` are populated on both transports. - `url` is always the canonical `https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=...` link, not an upstream apply-through redirect. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "job_key": "5e52165ce276aa5a", "title": "Staff HPC Applications Engineer", "company": "NextSilicon", "company_url": "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Nextsilicon", "location": "Austin, TX", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "country": "US", "posted_at": "2026-08-03T05:00:00Z", "description_text": "NextSilicon is reimagining high-performance computing...", "url": "https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5e52165ce276aa5a" } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
