}

Ready-made examples

Saved inputs on Apify: run one as it is, or copy it and change the values.

Python (apify-client)

Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings, then Integrations. The Actor id is v0iddo/hirist-jobs-scraper.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {'keywords': ['python'],
 'locations': ['Bangalore'],
 'includeDetails': True,
 'maxItems': 20}

run = client.actor("v0iddo/hirist-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~hirist-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["python"], "locations": ["Bangalore"], "includeDetails": true, "maxItems": 20}'

Good to know

One search runs per search term; postings are unique by ID across the whole run. Without search terms, a category lists every open posting of that category on hirist.tech.
A search shows at most 100 pages of 50 postings. For a broad search, add locations or an experience range.
salaryMinLakhs and salaryMaxLakhs are the yearly salary in lakhs of rupees (1 lakh = 100,000 INR), only when the employer shows it; salaryHidden is true otherwise. Most employers hide it.
experienceMin and experienceMax are the years of experience the posting asks for. The experience filter keeps postings whose band overlaps your range.

Price

$0.50 per 1,000 results. You pay per result row. There is no separate charge per run. Higher Apify plans pay less per result, down to $0.35 per 1,000.
