How much does it cost to scrape Built In jobs?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee for each run and a per-result fee for every job listing saved.

The default prefill is intentionally small so your first run is inexpensive.

For large recurring monitoring jobs, increase maxItems gradually and review the dataset count after each run.

Quick start

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Enter a keyword such as python or data engineer.
3. Choose a remote preference.
4. Optionally add a Built In category slug.
5. Set maxItems.
6. Run the actor.
7. Export the dataset.

Data quality notes

Built In displays different fields for different jobs.

Some jobs include salary ranges.

Some jobs do not show salary.

Some jobs include rich skills.

Some jobs only include basic category information.

Rows keep unavailable fields as null or empty arrays rather than inventing values.

Limits

The actor collects public pages that are available at run time.

If Built In returns fewer matching jobs than maxItems, the actor saves the available results.

Very broad searches can produce many pages, so use filters when possible.

FAQ

Can I scrape Built In jobs by keyword?

Yes. Use the keyword input with a job title, company, technology, or skill.

Can I monitor recent jobs only?

Yes. Use postedWithinDays with values such as 7, 14, or 30.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get fewer jobs than requested?

Your filters may have fewer public matches. Try removing postedWithinDays, broadening the keyword, or using a larger category.

Why are some fields null?

Built In does not display every field on every job. Salary, posted date, location, and detailed metadata can vary by listing.

Why is my location not working?

Use Built In style location slugs such as chicago, new-york, or washington-dc rather than long free-text strings.
