All input fields
| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
queries | array | One IIMJobs search per keyword, e.g. product manager, chartered accountant, investment banking, CFO, brand manager. Use role or skill words; put cities in locations. Several specific keywords beat one broad one. A job found by two keywords is saved and charged once. |
locations | array | Optional. Cities as IIMJobs lists them: Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Gurgaon, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Remote, Anywhere in India. Case-insensitive substring match on the job's listed locations; a single known city is also applied server-side for speed. Leave empty for all of India. |
minExperience | integer | Only jobs whose experience range reaches at least this many years. Integer 0-40. |
maxExperience | integer | Only jobs whose experience range starts at or below this many years. Integer 0-40. |
postedWithinDays | integer | Only jobs posted in the last N days. Integer 1-365, e.g. 1 with a daily schedule or 7 for a weekly report. Leave empty for all open jobs. |
includeDescription | boolean | On (default): full description as HTML and plain text, plus the company profile. Adds $0.002 per job. Off: listing fields only, at half the price, which is enough for counting jobs or sizing a market. |
maxJobsPerQuery | integer | Stop a keyword after this many new jobs (default 40). Cost: $0.002 per job plus $0.002 per full description, so 40 jobs with descriptions = $0.16. Raise it for full exports: product manager alone has about 4,000 open jobs. |
maxJobs | integer | Hard cap on saved jobs for the whole run across all keywords (0 = no cap). |
onlyNewSinceLastRun | boolean | On: deliver only jobs that an earlier run with the same stateName has not already delivered, and skip the rest without charging. If postedWithinDays is empty it is set to 3 so each run stays small. Off (default): return every matching job. |
stateName | string | Optional name for this search's memory when onlyNewSinceLastRun is on, e.g. pm-bangalore-daily. Leave empty to derive it from the keywords, locations and experience filters. Use a new key to start over. |
skipJobIds | array | Job IDs you already have (the id field from earlier runs). They are skipped before any detail fetch and never charged. Large lists are fine. |
site | string | Keep iimjobs (default) for management, finance, consulting and MBA jobs. Set hirist only for IT and tech jobs from Hirist.tech; the output format is the same, and the dedicated Hirist Jobs Scraper documents it. |
Price
$0.002 per job ($2.00 per 1,000); $0.002 per job description ($2.00 per 1,000). List prices for Apify Free and Starter plans; Scale and Business plans pay 15% to 30% less.
| Event | Price | Per 1,000 | Charged when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Job | $0.002 | $2.00 | One job returned from search (title, company, salary, skills, locations, applicants, AmbitionBox rating). |
| Job description | $0.002 | $2.00 | Full job description and company profile for one job (when includeDescription is on). |
Worked example: the input above, capped at 50 jobs, costs at most $0.1. Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, about 2,500 jobs; the Actor's own compute is included in the per-record price, and records skipped by filters, de-duplication or only-new mode are not charged.
What it is not for
Tech roles (use Hirist); Naukri/LinkedIn/Indeed (not covered). The data belongs to its publisher; the Actor reads public pages and endpoints and leaves out personal contact details.

Questions buyers ask
How much does it cost to scrape IIMJobs?
$0.002 per job plus $0.002 per full description, so 100 jobs with descriptions cost $0.40 and a 50-jobs-a-day feed about $6 a month.
Is there an official IIMJobs API?
No public one. This Actor reads the JSON that the iimjobs.com website itself loads and exposes it as a REST API with schedules, webhooks and only-new-jobs runs.
Which roles does IIMJobs cover?
Management, consulting, finance, CA/CFA, sales, marketing, HR and MBA-track roles at Indian and global companies, mostly 2 to 25 years of experience.
Does it return the full job description?
Yes, as HTML and plain text, plus skills, applicant and view counts, salary in LPA when disclosed and the AmbitionBox company profile when one exists.
Why is recruiter.name null?
IIMJobs shows recruiter names only to logged-in users. The Actor keeps the recruiter's designation and does not work around the site's choice. Company name, domain and profile are always included.
IIMJobs vs Naukri: which should I scrape?
IIMJobs is curated mid-to-senior management, finance and consulting hiring. Naukri is all levels. For CXO, VP, CA/CFA and MBA roles, IIMJobs has far less noise.
Can I get IIMJobs and Hirist jobs together?
Yes. Hirist.tech Jobs Scraper uses the same output schema and the same onlyNewSinceLastRun mode, so one pipeline handles both boards.
Do I need a proxy or login?
No.
Alternatives, honestly
| Option | What it gives you | Where it falls short for this job |
|---|---|---|
| IIMJobs website and recruiter dashboard | Search and email alerts for a logged-in user | No export, no API, no applicant counts in bulk |
| Other IIMJobs Actors on Apify Store | Similar scraping of the same board | Compare fields (salary, AmbitionBox profile, only-new mode) and price per 1,000 |
| Build your own scraper | Full control | The board's JSON endpoints change; you maintain pagination, de-duplication and scheduling |
