CutShort Jobs Scraper

Jobs & Hiring

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A web-scraping connector for CutShort.io that extracts India-focused tech and startup job listings and returns one structured record per job: job identifiers, title and URL, posting timestamp and activity timestamps, employment type and remote status, displayed salary band plus numeric min/max and the hidden internal salary floor (and a flag when the band is hidden), experience range, a list of required skills, full job description in plain text and original HTML, recruiter information and whether the posting is company- or agency-posted, company metadata (name, type, headcount range, funding stage, founding year, website, LinkedIn and logo), location(s), and a source-page identifier. The scraper operates by crawling CutShort listing pages and individual job pages, resolves user keywords to a fixed catalogue of role/skill pages (around 3,700 pages combined with city and remote variants), downloads that catalogue at run start to map keywords to the closest listing page, prioritizes pasted job URLs, and supports filters for remote-friendly roles and minimum salary; it does not require login.

Request params

Field	Type	Required	Description
`startUrls`	array	optional	CutShort listing pages (https://cutshort.io/jobs/reactjs-jobs-in-bangalore-bengaluru) and/or individual job pages (https://cutshort.io/job/...). Listing pages are paginated automatically. Leave empty to search by skill / role instead.
`skills`	array	optional	Skill or role keywords, e.g. 'react', 'python', 'data science', 'devops', 'product manager'. Each keyword is matched to the closest CutShort listing page (the site only publishes a fixed set of role pages, not free-text search).
`city`	string	optional	Optional city, e.g. 'Bangalore', 'Mumbai', 'Delhi NCR', 'Hyderabad', 'Pune', 'Chennai'. Applied to the Skills / roles search; cities without a dedicated page fall back to the all-India page filtered by location text.
`remoteOnly`	boolean	optional	Keep only jobs marked remote or remote-okay; drop on-site-only jobs.
`minSalary`	integer	optional	Keep only INR jobs whose displayed salary range reaches at least this many lakhs per year (e.g. 12 = ₹12 LPA). Jobs without a numeric salary or in another currency are dropped when this is set. 0 = no filter.
`maxItems`	integer	optional	Maximum number of jobs to return in this run across all listing pages and job URLs. 0 = unlimited. Capped at 100 per call.
`fetchDetails`	boolean	optional	Listing pages already include the full description and salary bands. Enable this to also open every job page (5 at a time) for lastActiveAt and validThrough dates.
