Documentation

n8n-nodes-google-jobs-api

An n8n community node that searches Google Jobs and returns structured job listings: title, company, location, posting date, schedule type, and apply links. It is backed by the Google Jobs API on Apify and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node a search query and an optional location, and it returns one item per job listing with the title, company, location, source, posting date, schedule type, and a direct apply link. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can look up open jobs on demand.

  • Search by keyword, job title, or company, optionally scoped to a location
  • Localize results with a country code, language code, and Google domain
  • Choose how much data to return per job: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-google-jobs-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Google Jobs node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Job > Search returns job listings that match a query.

Parameter Description
Search Query Job title, keywords, or company to search for. Required.
Location City, state, or region to search within. Optional.
Country Code Two-letter country code the search runs from, for example us. Optional.
Language Code Two-letter language code for the results, for example en. Optional.
Google Domain Which Google domain to query. Defaults to google.com.
Number of Results How many job listings to return. Defaults to 10.
Maximum Pages How many extra result pages to follow. Use 0 for the first page only.
Output How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields.

Output

The API returns more than ten fields per job, so the Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

  • Simplified (default): a compact, readable object with title, company, location, via, postedAt, scheduleType, salary, applyLink, and jobId. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
  • Raw: every field the API returns for each job, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Each job is returned as its own n8n item.

Example workflows

1. Pull software jobs in a city into a sheet

  1. Manual Trigger
  2. Google Jobs: set Search Query to software engineer, Location to Austin, TX, Output to Simplified.
  3. Google Sheets (or Airtable): append each job's title, company, location, and applyLink.

2. Daily new-jobs alert

  1. Schedule Trigger: run once a day.
  2. Google Jobs: set Search Query to your role and Location to your area.
  3. Filter (or Remove Duplicates): keep only listings you have not seen before.
  4. Slack or Send Email: notify yourself with the new matches.

3. Let an AI Agent answer job questions

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Google Jobs as a tool.
  3. Ask the agent something like "Find remote product manager jobs posted this week." The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and answers with live listings.

Pricing

This node calls the Google Jobs API on Apify, which is billed pay-per-result: about $0.01 per 1,000 jobs returned, plus a small per-run start fee, with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier that covers typical volumes. See the Actor page for current rates.
