How to start
- Sign up. An agent registers itself with one POST and starts with $0.10 of free credit; a person can sign up on the site instead.
- Quote the first call for free: send the search request with "estimateOnly": true and read the price before anything is spent.
- Run the same call with "maxUsd" set as a ceiling, and keep the rows it returns.
- Schedule it: repeat the call daily or weekly and compare each run with the last one you kept.

Questions people ask.
Which countries can I search?
US, GB, CA, AU, IN, DE, FR, JP, BR, MX, IT, ES, NL, BE, CH, AT, SG, HK, IE, NZ, AR, CL and CO.
Do I need a Indeed account to build these?
No. The API reads public data and never asks for your login, password or cookie.
What does a run cost?
Indeed records are priced from $0.000045 per record. A call can carry a minimum, so send it first with "estimateOnly": true. The quote is free and is the most the call can cost.
Can an AI agent build and run these on its own?
Yes. It signs itself up with one call and gets $0.10 free, quotes each call before it spends, and pays from a prepaid balance. "maxUsd" caps every call, and only a person can add money.
Try it in a minute. $0.10 free.
The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.
Why people pick API for Agents
- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
