# Naukri API

Naukri has no public jobs API: there is no developer portal, no self-serve key and no published API documentation, and its recruiter products (job posting, resume database access and hiring software) are sold to employers. JobsPipe does not collect Naukri; for India it returns the India-located postings from the 30+ sources it does include, in one record shape.

> Naukri publishes no public jobs API, and JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. This page explains what Naukri offers, what "Naukri API integration" means, and the options for India job data.

## Official Naukri API documentation

Naukri publishes no API documentation and no developer portal. On 30 September 2026 the hostnames developer.naukri.com, developers.naukri.com and api.naukri.com did not resolve. What Naukri's owner, Info Edge, describes is a business for employers: job listings and employer branding on one side, resume database access on the other, with search tools and hiring software for recruiters. Naukri's robots.txt disallows a list of AI and data crawlers from the whole site. There is no public endpoint shape to show.

## Coverage

JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. This page explains what Naukri exposes publicly and how to reach the same postings where they are also published on a board JobsPipe does collect (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, LinkedIn, Indeed, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Personio, Recruitee, Teamtailor, EURES, Paylocity, Breezy HR, CV-Library, Y Combinator, Bayt, JobTech (Sweden), Resume-Library, Arbeitnow, Himalayas, Rise, Manatal, Pinpoint, JobScore, HireHive, The Muse, Remotive, Remote OK, Jobicy, Working Nomads, Landing.jobs).

## Why Naukri jobs data is confusing

People who search for the Naukri API are usually one of three: a developer building a job search product, a sourcing tool or an agent that needs Indian job postings; a recruiting-software vendor whose customers want their openings pushed to Naukri and the applications pulled back; or an analyst who wants Indian hiring data in rows and columns. Naukri, run by Info Edge, matters to all three, and none of them finds a developer page.

The listings are Naukri's business. It sells job posting and visibility to employers and access to its resume database to recruiters, so a free read API on the listings would give away what it sells. JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. India postings reach JobsPipe through other sources, mainly LinkedIn and Indeed, and the India section below gives the measured mix.

## Workarounds

### Ask Naukri for a partner integration

The route for an applicant tracking system that needs to post openings to Naukri and receive applications. It is a commercial arrangement made with Naukri's sales and partnership team, with no public documentation and no self-serve key.

### Unofficial endpoints and scrapers

Open-source projects call the internal endpoints that Naukri's own site and app use, and scraper marketplaces sell Naukri scrapers priced per page or per result. Internal endpoints carry no compatibility promise and change without notice. Either way you take on duplicate postings, expired jobs that still render and no signal for when a role closed, and you should read Naukri's terms and its robots.txt before automating anything.

### What JobsPipe offers instead

JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. For India job data, filter POST /v1/jobs/search with "job_country_code_or": ["IN"], or find an employer by name with company_name_partial_match_or; sources[0].provider on each record names the board the posting came from.

## FAQ

### Does Naukri have a public API?

No. There is no developer portal, no self-serve key and no public API documentation. What exists is on the employer side: products for posting jobs and searching resumes, and commercial integrations that recruiting-software vendors arrange with Naukri directly.

### Can I scrape Naukri job listings instead?

People do, in two ways. Open-source projects call the internal JSON endpoints behind Naukri's site and app, which change without notice and sit behind bot checks. Scraper vendors are steadier and charge per page or per result. Whether automated access is permitted is a question for Naukri's terms and your counsel, and the output still needs duplicates removed and closed roles detected.

### Does JobsPipe include Naukri jobs?

No. JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. The India postings it returns come from its other sources, so they lean toward multinationals, technology companies and employers that also post on LinkedIn, Indeed or a company career site. Naukri's long tail of local and smaller employers is broader than that.

### Which API has job postings for India?

Any jobs API that lists India among its countries; check the source mix before you buy, because it decides which employers you see. On JobsPipe the request is POST /v1/jobs/search with "job_country_code_or": ["IN"], narrowed by city with job_location_or, by skill with skills_or or by recency with posted_at_max_age_days.

### Who owns Naukri?

Info Edge (India) Limited. Its corporate site describes Naukri.com as its flagship recruitment brand and lists Naukrigulf and a campus-hiring site alongside it.

### Is there a Naukri API for posting jobs?

Not a public one. Employers post through Naukri's recruiter products, and applicant tracking systems that post on a customer's behalf do it through an integration agreed with Naukri. If that is what you need, the path is Naukri's sales and partnership channel.

## What does Naukri offer developers?

Nothing public. Naukri's products are built for two audiences: job seekers, who use the site and app for free, and employers and recruitment firms, who pay to post jobs, advertise their brand and search the resume database. Info Edge also describes hiring software for employers, including a career-site manager with an applicant tracking system, and Naukri markets Talent Cloud for screening and hiring. None of these comes with a published API reference, a sandbox or a key request form.

## What does Naukri API integration mean?

In vendor language it means an integration on the employer side. When recruiting software advertises a Naukri integration, it is an arrangement with Naukri that lets the software post a customer's openings to Naukri and bring applications back into the customer's system. These integrations are real and they are negotiated, vendor by vendor. They do not read Naukri's listings for other employers, and an outside developer cannot sign up for one.

## India job postings in JobsPipe: the measured mix

Here is what JobsPipe holds for India, so you can judge the fit before you sign up. Among JobsPipe's active postings located in India on 30 September 2026, 51.0% carried LinkedIn as their source and 46.1% carried Indeed. That mix describes the sources JobsPipe includes, not the Indian market as a whole: Naukri and other Indian job boards are not in it. Two more figures matter if you build on these postings. Only 0.4% of them state a salary, so do not rely on a salary filter for India. And 5.2% are marked remote. Request them with "job_country_code_or": ["IN"] on POST /v1/jobs/search, and add job_location_or for a city.

## What JobsPipe returns for Naukri

Nothing under "source_or": ["naukri"]: JobsPipe does not collect Naukri. A search by country or by company name returns India postings from the sources JobsPipe does include, each with sources[0].provider, status, discovered_at, last_seen_at, seniority, an occupation code and skills, and min_annual_salary_usd and max_annual_salary_usd on the few postings that state a range.

## Options for India job data

Three needs hide behind the search for a Naukri API, and each has a different answer. To post jobs to Naukri from recruiting software, talk to Naukri's partnership team; that door opens commercially and nowhere else. To get Naukri's own listings, budget for a scraping vendor, your own pipeline to remove duplicates and detect closed roles, and a legal review of Naukri's terms. To get live job postings located in India for a job board, an agent, a sourcing tool or a market analysis, use a jobs API that includes India and filter by country.

For the third need, compare the jobs APIs on price and sources before you choose, and check what each one includes for India. LinkedIn's own APIs do not read job listings in any country, India included, which the LinkedIn guide below explains.
