## What people build with the Naukri Jobs API

- **Hiring market research in India.** See which companies are hiring data scientists in Bengaluru, at what experience and salary range, and how many people applied.
- **Job board aggregation.** Feed a niche board or an alert bot with fresh Naukri postings, filtered by role, city and date.
- **Hiring signals for sales.** Find companies posting several roles in one department this week, with their company details on each row.

## Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged:

```bash
curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/naukri \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"search","query":"data scientist","postedWithin":"7d","experience":"3","locations":["Bengaluru"],"limit":50,"estimateOnly":true}'
```

2. the same call, run:

```bash
curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/naukri \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"search","query":"data scientist","postedWithin":"7d","experience":"3","locations":["Bengaluru"],"limit":50}'
```

## What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

| Field | Type |
|---|---|
| jobId | string |
| jobUrl | string |
| applyUrl | string |
| jobTitle | string |
| company | string |
| companyId | string |
| companyDetails | any |
| hiringFor | string |
| location | string |
| description | string |
| requirementsSummary | string |
| skills | string |
| role | string |
| roleCategory | string |
| department | string |
| industry | string |
| jobType | string |
| workplaceType | string |
| hybridDetail | string |
| minExperienceYrs | integer |
| maxExperienceYrs | integer |
| salaryMin | number |
| salaryMax | number |
| benchmarkMinCtcLakhs | number |
| benchmarkAvgCtcLakhs | number |
| benchmarkMaxCtcLakhs | number |
| benchmarkRole | string |
| benchmarkSalariesUrl | string |
| educationUg | string |
| educationPg | string |
| posted | string |
| applicants | integer |
| views | integer |
| vacancies | integer |
| appliesOnCompanySite | boolean |
| postedByConsultant | boolean |
| listingSource | string |
| referenceCode | string |
| hasQuestionnaire | boolean |
| walkInJob | boolean |
| walkInStart | string |
| walkInEnd | string |
| walkInVenue | string |
| walkInTiming | string |
| walkInContact | string |
| walkInPhone | string |
| internshipDuration | string |
| diversityTags | string |
| benefits | string |
| employeeReviews | any |
| details | object |

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

## A sample answer

Real rows from an earlier run, business data only.

## Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

| Request | Records | At the list price |
|---|---|---|
| One job | 1 | $0.0018 |
| 10 jobs | 10 | $0.018 |
| A full page | 200 | $0.36 |

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

## Try it without writing code

- [Open the Naukri Jobs API in the playground](https://apiforagents.dev/dashboard/run?platform=naukri&op=search): 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 this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

- No login, no Naukri account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
- When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
- A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

## Questions

### What does the Naukri Jobs API return?

One row per posting: job id and URL, title, company and company details, location, description, a requirements summary, skills, role, role category, department, industry, job type, workplace type, minimum and maximum years of experience, salary range, education asked for, posted date, applicants, views, vacancies, whether a consultant posted it, whether it is a walk-in, benefits and employee reviews.

### What do I pass in?

A keyword or a pasted Naukri search URL is required. Optional filters: posted within, sort, years of experience, workplace (on-site, remote, hybrid or temporary work from home), salary range in lakhs per annum, locations, who posted it (company or consultant), and Naukri's own codes for department, role category, industry, company type, top companies and degree. Set fetchDetails to pull each posting's full description and requirements.

### Where do the department and industry codes come from?

They are the numbers Naukri carries in its own filter URLs, for example "5" for Engineering. Leave a code filter empty to match everything.

### How much does it cost?

$0.0018 per job at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true, which is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back. Set a limit between 50 and 200 postings per call.

## Why 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.
