Getting started

JobScrape is a job aggregator. When you run the scraper, it automatically fetches hundreds of job listings from platforms like LinkedIn, Naukri, Indeed, and Instahyre — and brings them all into your personal dashboard in one place. No more opening 4 tabs.

A LinkedIn account is required, and you must be logged in to LinkedIn in your browser for LinkedIn job scraping to work. A Naukri account is not required. JobScrape does not collect or store your login credentials. When you choose to apply for a job, clicking "Apply" will open the original job listing on the respective platform.

Scraping time depends on the number of keywords, locations, and platforms. More keywords take longer because the scraper crawls carefully like a real user. Start the scraper and come back once it finishes — keep Chrome open and don’t close the job-site tabs while it runs.

During the free period, each scrape can fetch up to about 40 matching jobs (depending on what’s currently posted). You can use up to 3 keywords, 3 locations, and 3 skills per run, and run the scraper up to 2 times per day.

Yes — scraping is temporarily free for everyone. You get 2 free runs per day, up to 40 jobs per run, with a max of 3 tags in each field (keywords, locations, and skills). Paid credit packs may return later.

Tracking & dashboard

Yes. Every job card has a bookmark icon. Bookmarked jobs are saved in a separate view under "Bookmarks" in your dashboard so you can revisit them anytime.

Each job card has a status tag you can update: New, Saved, Applied, Interview, Offered, or Rejected. Just click the tag to change it. Your dashboard gives you a count of each status at the top.

No. All previously fetched jobs stay in your dashboard. New jobs are added on top. You can filter by date to see only recent ones.

Yes. The dashboard has a filter bar where you can filter by platform (LinkedIn, Naukri, etc.), status tag, keyword search, and date. You can combine filters.

Privacy & data

No. JobScrape does not collect, store, or have access to your LinkedIn or Naukri login credentials. If LinkedIn scraping is used, authentication happens directly through your browser session, and your credentials remain with LinkedIn. JobScrape only accesses the job data available through your active session and never saves your account passwords.

Yes. Your dashboard, bookmarks, and job tags are only visible to you. We never share or sell your data to third parties.
