Indeed API — is there one, and how to get Indeed job data anyway (2026)
Indeed does not offer a public, self-serve API for pulling job listings at volume. Developers who need that data reach for a collection API instead — this page covers what actually exists, the legality question straight, and how RankFabrik's Jobs API fills the gap.
Prices verified 17 August 2026. Endpoint list current as of September 2026.
Endpoints — search, sweep, enrich, company lookup
Postings past the 1,000-result cap most APIs hit
Pay per posting returned — empty runs cost nothing
Does Indeed have an API?
Not one open to self-serve signup. What Indeed operates are narrow, partner-gated products — job-board syndication feeds, Indeed Apply integrations — aimed at applicant tracking systems and large job boards, with an approval process behind them. There is no "create an account, get a key, query by role and place" product for a developer who simply wants structured listings.
RankFabrik's Jobs API is built for that exact gap: it reads the same public, logged-out job
listing pages a browser would render, and returns them as structured rows —
id, title, company, companySlug, companyUrl, location, published, salary, logo, url, city,
region, country — with no account required on the source side.
What the API can do
| Endpoint | What it does |
|---|---|
/offres | Search by role (query param required) and place — the base endpoint. |
/collecte | The requested volume, duplicates removed, no latency bound. |
/balayer | Up to 20 cities in one call, segmented past the 1,000-result cap — up to ~6,000 postings on one query. |
/completes | Listing and detail merged — the enriched row most integrations end up using. |
/fiche | A single listing, when the identifier is already known. |
/fiches | Up to 100 listings looked up in one call. |
/societe | The company behind one posting — size, industry, website, HQ. |
/societes | The same company lookup, batched for multiple postings at once. |
/completes is the endpoint most integrations settle on — listing and detail merged
into one row, with the company on request. /balayer is the one that gets past the
1,000-result ceiling most job APIs inherit silently from the source: up to 20 cities in one call,
each reopening its own budget.
Is it legal to collect Indeed's listings?
Scraping public web pages sits in a legal gray area rather than a clean yes/no — courts and platforms have taken different positions over the years. What RankFabrik does is narrower than the general question: it reads pages that are publicly visible without logging in, does not bypass a login wall, CAPTCHA or other access control, and routes requests through a managed proxy layer to handle rate-limiting rather than to evade detection. That describes the collection method — it is not legal advice, and you remain responsible for how you use the data (re-publishing personal information, respecting a platform's terms of service, and your own jurisdiction's rules).
What it costs — the short version
Billed per posting returned, in two tiers — a plain listing and a row enriched with description, seniority and applicant count. The full per-1,000 breakdown, and how it compares to a hosted jobs-data provider, is on the pricing page.
Questions
Is Indeed API free?
Indeed does not run a public, self-serve, free API for pulling job listings at volume — access to its official feeds is a gated B2B arrangement (job board syndication, Indeed Apply), not a signup-and-go product for developers. RankFabrik's Jobs API is the alternative: no free tier on the collection side, but pay-per-event pricing ($2.50–$4.00 per 1,000) with nothing charged on an empty run.
Does Indeed.com have an API?
Not a general-purpose, self-serve search API open to any developer. What exists are narrow, partner-gated products aimed at job boards and applicant tracking systems, not at someone who wants to query listings by role and place on demand. That gap is exactly what a collection API like RankFabrik's fills — it reads the same public, logged-out listing pages a browser would.
Can you legally scrape Indeed?
Scraping public web pages sits in a legal gray area rather than a clean yes/no — courts and platforms have taken different positions over the years. What RankFabrik does is narrower than the general question: it reads pages that are publicly visible without logging in, does not bypass a login wall, CAPTCHA or other access control, and routes requests through a managed proxy layer to handle rate-limiting rather than to evade detection.

Is web scraping allowed on Indeed?
Indeed's terms restrict automated access, as most job boards' do — that's a contractual question between a user and the platform, separate from what is technically or legally possible. RankFabrik reads public pages without logging in and without bypassing any protection; whether that fits your own use case and jurisdiction is worth checking against your own compliance requirements, not something we can certify for you.

What are some free APIs for job listings?
A handful of national job boards and government labor sites publish limited, rate-capped free endpoints, and some job-board aggregators offer a small free tier before metering kicks in. None of them cover Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor listings under one shape with a measured fill rate — which is the gap RankFabrik's pay-per-event API targets instead of a free tier.
Does LinkedIn have an API for job postings?
LinkedIn's own Jobs API is gated to approved partners, not open to self-serve signup — see the LinkedIn Jobs API page for how RankFabrik reads that channel's public listings instead.
