Some job posting sites, such as Indeed, actively fight against automation. Why? They want to sell you the job listings. You may be fighting a losing battle.

Allow me to reiterate. If you are trying to automate Indeed, you will not succeed. They actively prevent this. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing it for personal reasons or commercial reasons. They want to sell you the job listings. Try another site.
