Proxy Requirements

Wellfound uses DataDome + Cloudflare bot protection. Residential proxies are required for reliable results. The actor is pre-configured to use Apify Residential proxies — just leave the proxy setting at its default.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing: you are charged per job listing scraped ($0.05/job). You only pay for actual results.

Tips

• Use specific keywords for better targeting (e.g., "machine learning engineer" vs. "engineer")
• Remote filter narrows results to remote-friendly positions
• Start with maxJobs: 50 to test before running large batches
• If you need equity data specifically, Wellfound is the best source — most listings include equity ranges

Support

If you encounter issues, try:

1. Ensure residential proxies are enabled
2. Reduce maxJobs to 25 for initial testing
3. Leave a review — it helps other users find this scraper!
