What does Levels.fyi Salary Scraper do?

Levels.fyi Salary Scraper is a Levels.fyi scraper and unofficial Levels.fyi API alternative that collects public compensation data for a company, job family and location. For each page it returns one record per job level, such as L3, L4 or L5 at Google, with total compensation, base salary, stock and bonus, plus the percentile ranges for the whole job family. It needs no login and reads only pages that are public.

Each record stands alone. The job-family percentiles (p10, p25, p50, p75 and p90 for total compensation, base salary, stock and bonus) are repeated on every level record of the page, so you can load the dataset into a spreadsheet or database and filter by level without joining tables. Amounts are given twice: in the local currency of the location (for example GBP for the United Kingdom) and in US dollars.

The Actor is a good fit for three jobs. Compensation teams can benchmark pay bands across companies and levels. Candidates and recruiters can check what a level pays in a given city or country before negotiating. Analysts can build market reports by scraping many companies and job families on a schedule and tracking how the figures move.

You can start from company names, from company slugs, or from Levels.fyi URLs. You can also ask for every job family a company lists by passing all, and add locations such as new-york-city-area, san-francisco-bay-area, united-kingdom or india.

When includeRecentSubmissions is enabled, each sample also includes nullable isRedacted, copied from the source. A value of true means Levels.fyi withheld details such as title, location, experience and compensation components. Those details remain null; total compensation can still be available. The Actor does not reconstruct withheld information. Recent submission amounts remain in USD.

Local-currency amounts are the USD figures from the page multiplied by the page's own exchange rate and rounded, which matches what Levels.fyi displays. The raw USD values are always included next to them.

Company context comes from the same salary page, without extra requests. Missing profile values are null. Set minSubmissionCount to require a minimum number of reports behind each level, alongside the existing level and compensation filters. This uses submissionCount, not the separate last-year count; it is a sample-size filter, not a guarantee of statistical reliability. The default 0 keeps all levels.

How to use Levels.fyi Salary Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter one or more companies, for example google or Meta, or paste Levels.fyi salary URLs into the URLs field.
3. Set the job families (default software-engineer) and, if you want, locations. Leave locations empty for the United States.
4. Set maxItems to the number of level records you want and start the run.
5. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the API.

Tips:

Each company, job family and location combination is one page. Many companies have 5 to 12 levels, so 10 pages usually give 50 to 120 records. Use all as the job family to scrape every job family a company lists. If a company name returns a not-found message, copy the URL from the site instead of typing the name. Names are converted to slugs automatically, but a few companies use a different slug. Pages with too few submissions have no level data and are skipped with a warning in the log. A proxy is not normally needed. Switch on Apify Proxy in the Advanced section only if requests start being blocked.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
companies	array of strings	Yes, unless startUrls is given	Company slugs, names or Levels.fyi company URLs, e.g. google, Meta.
jobFamilies	array of strings	No	Job family slugs or names, e.g. software-engineer, Product Manager. Use all for every job family the company lists. Default ["software-engineer"].
locations	array of strings	No	Location slugs or names, e.g. new-york-city-area, united-kingdom, india. Empty means the United States.
startUrls	array	No	Levels.fyi salary page URLs, as strings or {url} objects. A company URL expands to all job families. A level URL keeps only that level.
maxItems	integer	No	Maximum number of records, 1-10000, default 50.
levels	array	No	Only return these levels, by name or slug, e.g. L5 or Senior Software Engineer. Default: all levels.
minSubmissionCount	integer	No	Minimum level submission count; default 0 disables filtering
minTotalCompensationUsd	integer	No	Skip levels whose average total compensation is below this USD amount. Default: no filter.
includeRecentSubmissions	boolean	No	Adds recentSubmissions to each record. Default false.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings. Default: no proxy.

At least one of companies or startUrls must be given. If both are given, both are scraped, with duplicate IDs saved once and one shared maxItems budget. Plain company names use jobFamilies and locations; explicit salary URLs use the family and location in their path. Company-only URLs expand all families. The levels filter matches primary names or slugs, not every alternate title. If no rows match, remove levels, lower minTotalCompensationUsd, or check the company, job family and location slugs. Persistent blocks require retrying later or enabling proxyConfiguration.

How much does it cost to scrape Levels.fyi?

Levels.fyi Salary Scraper is charged per result. You pay only for the records returned, and maxItems caps how many that can be, so a run can never go past the limit you set. See the Pricing tab for the current price. The Actor makes about one request per second and one request returns all levels of a page, so runs are quick and use little compute.

FAQ

How many records will I get? One record per level for each company, job family and location page. Companies usually have between 3 and 12 levels per job family. The run stops when it reaches maxItems.

What currency are the amounts in? The fields totalCompensation, baseSalary, stock and bonus use the currency in the currency field, which follows the location you chose. The fields ending in Usd always use US dollars.

Are these individual salaries? No. The per-level numbers are aggregates that Levels.fyi computes from anonymous submissions. Individual entries are only returned when you turn on includeRecentSubmissions, and they are anonymous as well.

Why did my run return 0 results? The company, job family or location slug probably does not exist, or the page has too few submissions to show levels. The run still finishes successfully and the status message names the page that was not found. Check the slug on the site and paste the URL into startUrls.

How fresh is the data? Each run reads the live page, so the figures are as current as the site. The scrapedAt field tells you when a record was collected.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. Requests are plain page loads at a modest rate. If the site starts blocking, enable Apify Proxy and blocked requests are retried on a new IP.

Can I scrape one level only? Yes. Put a level URL such as https://www.levels.fyi/companies/google/salaries/software-engineer/levels/l5 into startUrls and only that level is returned.

Why is a field null? Some pages do not publish every number, for example the vesting schedule of small companies. Those fields are returned as null and never filled with guesses.

Is it legal to scrape Levels.fyi?

The Actor collects only data that is publicly visible without logging in. The salary figures are anonymous aggregates and the Actor does not collect personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data, including compliance with the website's terms and applicable laws such as GDPR. This is not legal advice. This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Levels.fyi.
