Indeed is one of the world’s largest job search engines. JobSpy’s Indeed scraper uses Indeed’s GraphQL API and supports searches across 60+ countries. It is currently the best-performing scraper in JobSpy — it imposes minimal rate limiting and returns rich employer data not available from other boards.
Basic usage
Set site_name to "indeed" and provide a country_indeed value:
from jobspy import scrape_jobs
jobs = scrape_jobs(
site_name="indeed",
search_term="software engineer",
location="Austin, TX",
results_wanted=50,
hours_old=48,
country_indeed="USA",
)
print(f"Found {len(jobs)} jobs")
print(jobs.head())
Supported parameters

|---|
search_term | str | Keywords to search for |
location | str | City, state, or region to narrow results |
distance | int | Search radius in miles (default: 50) |
job_type | str | fulltime, parttime, internship, contract |
is_remote | bool | Filter for remote jobs |
hours_old | int | Only jobs posted within this many hours |

Search filter limitations
Indeed only supports one of the following filter groups per search:
hours_oldjob_type and/or is_remoteeasy_apply
Combining filters from different groups in the same search call will result in only one group being applied.

Writing effective search queries
Indeed searches both the job title and the description, which can produce unrelated results for broad queries. You can use query operators to refine your results:
| Syntax | Effect |
|---|
"exact phrase" | Requires the exact phrase in results |
-word | Excludes jobs containing this word |
(java OR python) | Requires at least one of the listed terms |
Combine operators for precise results. This query finds engineering internship postings that mention a programming language but excludes unrelated roles:search_term='"engineering intern" software summer (java OR python OR c++) 2025 -tax -marketing'
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|
company_industry | str | Industry of the hiring company |
company_addresses | str | Primary address of the company |
company_num_employees | str | Employee count label (e.g., "1001 to 5000") |
company_revenue | str | Revenue label (e.g., "$100M to $500M") |
company_description | str | Brief description of the company |
company_logo | str | URL of the company’s square logo |
Notes
- Indeed is the best scraper currently, with minimal rate limiting compared to other boards.
- All job board searches, including Indeed, are capped at approximately 1,000 results per query.
- If you see unrelated roles in the results, refine your
search_term using the query operators described above.
