One call

Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on Indeed (JavaScript rendering).

curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=nurse&l=Remote' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=indeed'

import os, requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape",
    params={"url": "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=nurse&l=Remote", "recipe": "indeed"},
    headers={"ApiKey": os.environ["UJEEBU_API_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
for item in r.json()["result"]["jobs"][:3]:
    print(item["title"], item["company"], item["location"])
# Example output:
# Registered Nurse - Freelance AI Train... Meridial Remote
# FT Remote Registered Nurse (RN) Beacon Talent Remote

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=nurse&l=Remote",
  recipe: "indeed",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape?${params}`, {
  headers: { ApiKey: process.env.UJEEBU_API_KEY },
});
const { result } = await res.json();
for (const item of result.jobs.slice(0, 3)) {
  console.log(item.title, item.company, item.location);
}
// Example output:
// Registered Nurse - Freelance AI Train... Meridial Remote
// FT Remote Registered Nurse (RN) Beacon Talent Remote

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the headers Ujb-Recipe and Ujb-Credits. Your own parameters always win over the recipe.

Search Indeed with parameters

One call, no URL: send recipe=indeed/search with the parameters below. We build the Indeed search URL and answer the listing JSON, at the same credits as the page call.

Parameter	Type	Values
`query` required	string	Search words, as typed in the Indeed search box.
`location`	string	Place as typed on Indeed (default Remote).

One call (query=software engineer)

curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H 'ApiKey: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d 'recipe=indeed/search' \
  --data-urlencode 'query=software engineer'

import os, requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape",
    params={"recipe": "indeed/search", "query": "software engineer"},
    headers={"ApiKey": os.environ["UJEEBU_API_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
for item in r.json()["result"]["jobs"][:3]:
    print(item["title"], item["company"], item["location"])
# Example output:
# Registered Nurse - Freelance AI Train... Meridial Remote
# FT Remote Registered Nurse (RN) Beacon Talent Remote

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  recipe: "indeed/search",
  query: "software engineer",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape?${params}`, {
  headers: { ApiKey: process.env.UJEEBU_API_KEY },
});
const { result } = await res.json();
for (const item of result.jobs.slice(0, 3)) {
  console.log(item.title, item.company, item.location);
}
// Example output:
// Registered Nurse - Freelance AI Train... Meridial Remote
// FT Remote Registered Nurse (RN) Beacon Talent Remote

The answer carries the built URL in the Ujb-Url header; a missing or invalid parameter answers 400 naming it (free). Have the URL already? Send it with recipe=indeed/listing. Search with parameters in the docs

FAQ

What does the Indeed recipe return?

JSON with 4 fields from search results (recipe=indeed), for example title, company, location, url. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.

How much does it cost to scrape Indeed?

5 credits a page ($0.50 per 1,000 on Pro, $0.82 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. The recipe brings the settings that work on Indeed: JavaScript rendering. Send only the URL and recipe=indeed.

What happens when Indeed changes its pages?

We check Indeed every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.

Can I search Indeed with parameters?

Yes, in one call: send recipe=indeed/search with query, location and no URL. We build the Indeed search URL (returned in the Ujb-Url header), apply recipe=indeed/listing and answer its JSON, at the same credits as the page call. A missing or invalid parameter answers 400 naming it, and that call is free.
