Dice Jobs Scraper

Export public Dice tech job listings by keyword, location, or Dice search URL, including job titles, companies, locations, salaries, work models, descriptions, skills, and job links.

Use this Actor when you need a repeatable CSV, JSON, Excel, API, or AI-agent export of Dice job data for recruiting intelligence, hiring-market research, lead generation, or job monitoring.

What Does Dice Jobs Scraper Do?

Dice Jobs Scraper turns Dice search results into a structured dataset.

• Search by keyword and location: query Dice for roles such as software engineer, Java developer, cybersecurity analyst, data scientist, or cloud architect.
• Use Dice search URLs: paste one or more Dice /jobs URLs when you already have a filtered search.
• Collect job details: export titles, companies, locations, salary text, workplace types, posting dates, summaries, and job URLs.
• Optionally open detail pages: include fuller descriptions and detected skills when you enable includeDetails.
• Export anywhere: download from Apify as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or connect through the Dataset API.

Pricing

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. The prices below come from the current Actor pricing configuration. Apify public plans map to Store discount tiers, so the table shows both the user-facing plan context and the pricing tier name. The final price shown in Apify depends on the user account plan and any custom agreement.

Event	What is charged	Price
start	One-time fee charged when a run starts. Covers fixed startup cost.	$0.005

Event	What is charged	Free / no discount	Starter / Bronze	Scale / Silver	Business / Gold	Custom / Platinum	Custom / Diamond
item	Charged per Dice job listing saved to the dataset.	$0.207 / 1,000	$0.18 / 1,000	$0.1404 / 1,000	$0.108 / 1,000	$0.072 / 1,000	$0.0504 / 1,000

Apify may also charge platform usage for compute, storage, proxies, or data transfer outside this Actor pricing. Check the Actor run and the Apify Pricing tab for the exact cost shown to your account.

Tips For Better Results

• Start small: test with maxItems set to 10-20 before scheduling larger runs.
• Use specific keywords: python developer, data engineer, or cloud architect usually produces cleaner data than broad words.
• Turn on details only when needed: includeDetails gives richer descriptions and skills but opens more pages.
• Use start URLs for complex searches: configure filters on Dice, copy the search URL, and paste it into startUrls.
• Expect missing salaries: many Dice listings do not publish salary text.

API usage

Run Dice Jobs Scraper from your own code with the Apify API.

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const input = {
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "radius": 20,
  "radiusUnit": "mi",
  "maxItems": 20
};

const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/dice-jobs-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/dice-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "radius": 20,
  "radiusUnit": "mi",
  "maxItems": 20
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~dice-jobs-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \

• "Run Dice Jobs Scraper with this input JSON and summarize the dataset."
• "Export the latest Dice Jobs Scraper results to a table I can review."
• "Schedule this Actor for monitoring and tell me what changed between runs."

Limits And Notes

• The Actor extracts public Dice data; it does not bypass login-only or private content.
• Dice may omit salary, skills, employer type, or full description for some listings.
• Larger runs and includeDetails can take longer because more pages are requested.
• Search result counts can change quickly as Dice updates its listings.

FAQ

Can I export Dice jobs to CSV or Excel?

Yes. After a run, open the dataset on Apify and export it as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, or RSS.

Can I monitor Dice jobs on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule with the same input to run the Actor daily, weekly, or at your preferred interval.

Why is description empty?

Set includeDetails to true. Some jobs still may not expose a full description publicly.

Is this a Dice jobs API alternative?

It can be used as a practical API-style export for public Dice job search results through Apify API, datasets, webhooks, and MCP.

Support

Report bugs, wrong output, blocked runs, or missing fields from the Actor page. Include the Apify run ID or run URL, your input JSON, what you expected, what the Actor returned, and one reproducible public URL so the issue can be tested quickly.

Privacy and data handling

This Actor runs with Apify limited permissions and only processes data needed for the documented run. It uses job-search inputs and public job-posting results to produce the output dataset and sends requests to public Dice Jobs pages/endpoints; results are stored in Apify run storage for your account. FetchCat does not use your inputs or outputs for advertising, does not use them for model training, and does not retain them outside the Apify run except for transient support debugging when you explicitly share run details. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting the target site's terms, and avoiding unnecessary personal or sensitive data in inputs.
