Python (apify-client)

Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings, then Integrations. The Actor id is v0iddo/instahyre-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/instahyre-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~instahyre-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \

Good to know

  • A search shows at most 10,000 postings. For a broader list, split it by location, job function or company.
  • experienceMin and experienceMax are the years the posting asks for (from its page); companyEmployees is Instahyre's size band of the employer, such as 50-200.
  • Locations, job functions and companies are checked against Instahyre's own lists; the run names the ones it does not know in the log and goes on with the others.

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.
