curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/data_daemon~cutshort-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Python: ApifyClient(token).actor("data_daemon/cutshort-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=...). Python example · Node.js example · n8n workflow. AI assistant (MCP): add the remote server https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=data_daemon/cutshort-jobs-scraper with header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and ask for the data in plain words.

FieldTypeMeaning
categoriesarrayCutshort job pages to read, newest first: a skill or role (Python, React.js, DevOps, Data Science, Sales, Product Management), a page name (python-jobs, remote-python-jobs, python-jobs-in-mumbai) or a page URL. Python jobs in Mumbai reads the city page. Empty = the whole board (startup-jobs, about 45,000 live jobs).
locationsarrayCity names, e.g. Bengaluru (or Bangalore), Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Noida, Gurgaon, Kochi. For the 14 cities Cutshort has pages for, the city page is read directly; every job is also checked against its own location list. Delhi includes the NCR (Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad). Empty = all of India and remote.
keywordsarrayWords matched against the job title and skills, e.g. senior, django, lead, intern. Empty = all jobs. Jobs without a match are not charged.
remotestringremote keeps jobs marked remote-only or remote-okay; onsite keeps office-only jobs. With no categories, remote reads Cutshort's remote-jobs page.
roleTypestringFull-time jobs, internships or both.
minExperienceintegerKeep jobs whose experience range reaches this many years (e.g. 3 keeps 2 - 5 years, drops 0 - 2 years).
maxExperienceintegerKeep jobs whose experience range starts at or below this many years (e.g. 2 keeps 0 - 2 and 1 - 4, drops 5 - 8).
minSalaryintegerKeep jobs whose shown annual salary range reaches this amount, e.g. 1500000 for 15 LPA. Jobs that hide their salary (Best in industry) or show a monthly figure are left out when this is set.
