Supported Countries for Job Searching

LinkedIn

LinkedIn searches globally & uses only the location parameter. You can only fetch 1000 jobs max from the LinkedIn endpoint we are using

ZipRecruiter

ZipRecruiter searches for jobs in US/Canada & uses only the location parameter.

Indeed / Glassdoor

Indeed & Glassdoor supports most countries, but the country_indeed parameter is required. Additionally, use the location parameter to narrow down the location, e.g. city & state if necessary.

You can specify the following countries when searching on Indeed (use the exact name, * indicates support for Glassdoor):

Argentina	Australia*	Austria*	Bahrain
Belgium*	Brazil*	Canada*	Chile
China	Colombia	Costa Rica	Czech Republic
Denmark	Ecuador	Egypt	Finland
France*	Germany*	Greece	Hong Kong*
Hungary	India*	Indonesia	Ireland*
Israel	Italy*	Japan	Kuwait
Luxembourg	Malaysia	Mexico*	Morocco
Netherlands*	New Zealand*	Nigeria	Norway
Oman	Pakistan	Panama	Peru
Philippines	Poland	Portugal	Qatar
Romania	Saudi Arabia	Singapore*	South Africa
South Korea	Spain*	Sweden	Switzerland*
Taiwan	Thailand	Turkey	Ukraine
United Arab Emirates	UK*	USA*	Uruguay
Venezuela	Vietnam*

Notes

• Indeed is the best scraper currently with no rate limiting.
• Glassdoor can only fetch 900 jobs from the endpoint we're using on a given search.
• LinkedIn is the most restrictive and usually rate limits on around the 10th page
• ZipRecruiter is okay but has a 5 second delay in between each page to avoid rate limiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

Q: Encountering issues with your queries?
A: Try reducing the number of results_wanted and/or broadening the filters. If problems persist, submit an issue.

---

Q: Received a response code 429?
A: This indicates that you have been blocked by the job board site for sending too many requests. All of the job board sites are aggressive with blocking. We recommend:

• Waiting some time between scrapes (site-dependent).
• Trying a VPN or proxy to change your IP address.
