COMPANYPEOPLEAIDEVELOPER TOOLS API MCP READY

Indeed Company API

An Indeed company API that returns the employer itself, not only its reviews. Look companies up by name, pass Indeed company URLs or bare slugs, browse one of Indeed's 140 industries across US states and metro areas, or crawl a browse-companies directory page. A full profile row carries the overall rating and five sub-ratings, ratings by year, CEO name and approval, founding year, employee and revenue bands, headquarters, the work happiness score, the open-job count with job locations and top titles, and Indeed's own review, salary and question totals. Turn on employee reviews, salaries by job title or Q&A and each comes back as its own billed row, joined to its company by companyId. Keyword and URL modes read 60 Indeed country sites; industry and directory browse are US only.

Input parameters

PARAMETERTYPEREQDEFAULTDESCRIPTION
mode enum yes keyword How to find companies: keyword (look them up by name), url (exact company pages you already hold), industry (every company in one industry across the states you list) or directory (crawl an Indeed browse-companies page).
keywords string[] no — Company names to look up, for example Tesla or Allstate. Each name is its own search, and a name can match more than one employer. Keyword mode, up to 10 per run.
companyUrls string[] no — One company each: a profile URL such as https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Allstate-Insurance, a sub-page URL such as its /reviews page, or a bare slug. URL mode, up to 100 per run, one profile charge per company. — drives your bill
industry enum no All One of Indeed's own 140 industries, matched exactly. An unrecognised value stops the run with the closest matches. All browses every industry. Industry mode.
states string[] no — Where to browse, one search per entry: a US state name, United States, or a metro area such as Sacramento, CA. Industry mode, up to 10 per run.
directoryUrls string[] no — Indeed browse-companies pages, for example https://www.indeed.com/companies/browse-companies. Directory mode, up to 10 per run.
maxResultsPerInput integer no 25 Companies to return per name, state or directory page, 1 to 1,000. Nothing beyond it is fetched or billed. Ignored in URL mode. — drives your bill
country enum no US Which of 60 Indeed country sites to read in keyword and URL modes. Industry and directory browse are US only. A pasted company URL always wins over this setting.
profileDetail enum no full full fetches each company page for the complete profile; listing returns the lighter results card at the listing price. URL mode is always full.
resolveExact boolean no false Keyword mode: return only the single best match per name. When nothing matches closely, an uncharged error row names the closest companies found.
uniqueCompaniesOnly boolean no true Drop duplicate companies within a run, so one employer is never returned or charged twice.
includeReviews boolean no false Also return employee reviews as their own rows (result_type review). Full profiles only.
maxReviewsPerCompany integer no 20 Reviews per company, 1 to 1,000, read 20 per page with the newest available first.
reviewsSince string no — Only reviews submitted on or after this date, written YYYY-MM-DD.
reviewsAllCountries boolean no false Include reviews written on every Indeed country site, not only the site being read. Widens the pool for multinational employers.
includeSalaries boolean no false Also return reported salaries by job title as their own rows (result_type salary). Full profiles only.
includeQuestions boolean no false Also return questions from the company's Q&A section as their own rows (result_type question). Full profiles only.
maxQuestionsPerCompany integer no 10 Questions per company, 1 to 500, read 10 per page.
enrichBusinessEmail boolean no false Optional add-on: look for a contact email published on each company's own website and verify it. Company rows only; billed per verified email or per lookup that found none.
maxBusinessEmailsPerRun integer no 50 Caps the charged email attempts in a run, found or not, 1 to 500. Only used with enrichBusinessEmail.

Worked examples

Look up companies by name — resolveExact keeps one best-match profile per name
{"mode": "keyword", "keywords": ["Tesla", "Allstate"], "resolveExact": true}
Healthcare employers in two states, listing rows only — the cheaper listing price; send the companyId values you want back through URL mode for full profiles
{"mode": "industry", "industry": "Healthcare", "states": ["California", "Texas"], "profileDetail": "listing", "maxResultsPerInput": 100}
Employee reviews since a date — one company row plus up to 100 review rows
{"mode": "url", "companyUrls": ["Allstate-Insurance"], "includeReviews": true, "maxReviewsPerCompany": 100, "reviewsSince": "2026-01-01"}
Salaries by job title and Q&A — salary and question rows join back on companyId
{"mode": "url", "companyUrls": ["https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Walmart"], "includeSalaries": true, "includeQuestions": true, "maxQuestionsPerCompany": 20}
Crawl the company directory — every company the browse page lists, up to the limit
{"mode": "directory", "directoryUrls": ["https://www.indeed.com/companies/browse-companies"], "profileDetail": "listing", "maxResultsPerInput": 200}
POWER-USER TIP
Profile counts are Indeed's totals, not your rows — reviewsCount, salariesCount, questionsCount and jobsCount are the totals Indeed publishes as of scrapedAt. Ask for 50 reviews of an employer with 280,000 and reviewsCount still reads 280,000. When reviews were fetched, reviewsFoundCount says how many matched your filters.
POWER-USER TIP
List cheaply, then fetch the profiles you want — A listing row is priced at under a seventh of a full profile and carries the name, companyId, rating, review count, sector and size band. Browse an industry with profileDetail set to listing, pick the companies worth a closer look, and send their companyId values to URL mode, which accepts a bare slug. Reviews, salaries and Q&A need full profiles.
POWER-USER TIP
A name can match several employers — Keyword mode returns every candidate with a matchConfidence from 0 to 1. Set resolveExact to keep only the best match per name; when nothing matches closely you get an uncharged error row naming the closest companies instead.
POWER-USER TIP
Filter on result_type — Company, review, salary, question and error rows all land in one dataset. The saved dataset views group columns but do not filter rows, so split on result_type in code. Child rows carry companyId, companyName, employerId and sourceInput for the join.
POWER-USER TIP
Interviews, photos and benefits are always empty — Indeed removed those company sub-pages. interviewsCount, interviewsUrl, photosCount, photosUrl, benefits and jobCategories stay in the output schema for backward compatibility but are never filled, so do not build on them.
POWER-USER TIP
Cap the spend before the run — Set maxTotalChargeUsd and the run reads its budget first, fetching only what it can pay for. Very large runs are also trimmed to finish inside the run timeout, review and question caps first. Error rows are never charged.
