What it costs to scrape job sites
100,000 pages a month cost from $40.00 for Indeed on ScrapingDog to $99.00 for Glassdoor on Scrape.do, across these 3 job sites.
2 of them have a rate an API publishes for that site; the other is priced as an ordinary page with the JavaScript and protection it needs. Each bill is the cheapest of that API's current plans, worked out from its own pricing page.
| Site | 100,000 pages | Cheapest API | Rates for this site | How hard | The site's own API |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indeed | $40.00 | ScrapingDog, Lite | 1 from 1 API | Hard | Indeed Job Sync API |
| Google Jobs | $60.00 | DataForSEO SERP API, Standard Queue | 13 from 12 APIs | Hard | None found |
| Glassdoor | $99.00 | Scrape.do, Pro | None: priced as an ordinary page | Very hard | None found |
What the levels mean: Easy means no protection is recorded; moderate, rate limits or fingerprinting without CAPTCHAs; hard, CAPTCHAs and IP checks that usually call for residential proxies; very hard, all of that plus measures such as TLS fingerprinting, a login wall in front of most data or honeypot links.
