faq:[
{
question:"Is scraping Indeed legal?",
answer:
"SurfSense reads only public Indeed job postings, the same listings any logged-out visitor can see. It never logs in and cannot access private or applicant data. As always, review Indeed's terms and your own compliance needs before you run at scale.",
"Indeed retired its public Publisher jobs API and now gates job data behind partner and approval programs. SurfSense is an independent Indeed API alternative: you call one API, or add the MCP server to your agent, and get structured public postings back.",
"SurfSense prices per job returned, not per request or seat, and there is a free tier to start — no partner application or Indeed API pricing negotiation. You control spend with max_items per call, and jobs that fail to return are never billed.",
"Yes. By default each job returns the listing snippet, which is fast. Set scrape_job_details to true and SurfSense fetches each job's detail page for the full description text and HTML, at the cost of one extra page load per job.",
},
{
question:"What are the rate limits?",
answer:
"Each call returns up to 100 jobs across all sources, with up to 20 URLs or search queries per request. SurfSense manages the anti-bot request budget for you, so you scale reads without running proxies or a headless browser yourself.",
