Linkedin Job Scraper

LinkedIn Job Scraper

LinkedIn-only raw job sourcing. Overlaps job-scraper (multi-source) and job-posting-intent (scored intent) — this one is LinkedIn-only structured sourcing.

When to use

• "Find jobs on LinkedIn." / "Search for open roles." / "What roles is [company] hiring for?"
• "Build a job pipeline" / "source job targets for GTM research."

How to run

python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/linkedin_jobs.py \
  --search "Sales Engineer" \
  --location "Remote" \
  --results 25 \
  --output ${WORKSPACE}/jobs.json

• With APIFY_API_TOKEN: runs the LinkedIn jobs actor (clean structured fields at scale, no cookies).
• Without it: degrades to a keyless site:linkedin.com/jobs search (shallower, less structured).

Override the actor with APIFY_LINKEDIN_JOBS_ACTOR.

Outputs

jobs.json — [{title, company, location, salary, job_type, description, url, source}], deduped by title+company+url. source is linkedin (Apify) or linkedin/serp (keyless).

Credentials / env

• Required: none — the keyless serp degrade needs no key.
• Optional: APIFY_API_TOKEN (LinkedIn jobs actor; without it, shallower serp search); APIFY_LINKEDIN_JOBS_ACTOR to override the actor id.

Notes & edge cases

• Proxy + throttle any direct LinkedIn access; LinkedIn rate-limits aggressively. The keyless endpoint also rate-limits — the script backs off.
• Dedup repeated postings of the same role (the script does this).
• Salary/description may be sparse depending on the posting.
