Dice Jobs Scraper | $1.99 / 1k |

What does Dice Jobs Scraper do?

Get US tech job postings as clean, analysis-ready rows: title, company, city and state, remote flag, the pay range parsed into salaryMin and salaryMax, employment type, posted date and a direct apply link. It is built for recruiters, job boards and compensation analysts who need Dice.com listings in bulk instead of one browser tab at a time.

Give it a Dice search URL - or just a keyword and a location - and scrape Dice jobs into JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them straight from the Apify API. It works as a practical Dice.com API alternative and a US tech job listings API when you have no documented feed to build on: no headless browser, no residential proxies, no scraper to maintain. The default 20-job run finished in 2.8 seconds on the Apify platform.

It reads only pages and endpoints that Dice.com serves publicly to any visitor. It does not log in, does not solve challenges and does not touch candidate profiles or resumes. There are no recruiter, email or phone-number columns, and if an employer pasted an email address or a phone number into the posting text, it is replaced with [email removed] / [phone removed] before the row is saved.

Use cases for this Dice scraper

• Recruiting or staffing agency building a client pipeline. Track every new Python, DevOps or Salesforce opening in a metro area, sort by postedDate, and reach the hiring company in the first 48 hours - employerType tells you whether you are looking at a direct hire or another agency's listing.
• Compensation analyst tracking salary trends. salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryPeriod are parsed out of Dice's free-text pay label, so you can build hourly-rate and annual-band datasets split by city, isRemote and contract versus full-time.
• Job board or aggregator seeding listings. Keep a US tech feed fresh with title, company, location, salary range, employment type and a direct jobUrl, plus summary on every row and the full description when you crawl job pages.
• Sales team finding companies that are hiring. A company posting for Snowflake or Kubernetes engineers is buying that stack. Filter by skills and company, then push the accounts into your CRM as fresh hiring-intent signals.
• Talent sourcing and market research. Measure demand for a skill over time, or compare remote versus on-site posting volumes by state using workplaceTypes and state.
• Immigration and relocation services. willingToSponsor flags the employers that state they sponsor visas, which is a hard filter you cannot get from a generic aggregator export.

What data you get from every Dice job posting

One row per job posting. Every column below exists in the dataset schema; the Overview table view shows title, company, location, isRemote, employmentType, salary, postedDate, jobUrl, status, error and scrapedAt.

Row status and provenance

Field	Type	Description
url	string	Source URL the row came from (the job's Dice page for ok rows).
status	string	ok, not_found or error (see the table below).
error	string	Reason when status is not ok. Absent on ok rows.
scrapedAt	string	ISO 8601 time of extraction.

Job identity and links

Field	Type	Description
jobId	string	Dice's internal job id, stable for the life of the posting.
jobGuid	string	Dice GUID, the last path segment of the job URL.
title	string	Job title as published by the employer.
jobUrl	string	Public Dice job page for the posting.

Company

Field	Type	Description
company	string	Hiring company or staffing agency name.
companyUrl	string	Dice company page of the hiring company.
companyLogo	string	Company logo image URL.
employerType	string	Direct Hire, Recruiter or Other.

Location and workplace

Field	Type	Description
location	string	Location as Dice displays it, e.g. Jersey City, New Jersey, USA.
city	string	City part of the location.
state	string	State part of the location.
country	string	Country part of the location (Dice is a US board).
isRemote	boolean	True when Dice flags the posting as remote.
workplaceTypes	array	Workplace types Dice lists, e.g. ["Remote"], ["On-Site", "Hybrid"].

Pay

Field	Type	Description
salary	string	Salary text exactly as Dice publishes it, e.g. $160,000 - $190,000.
salaryMin	number	Lower bound parsed out of salary.
salaryMax	number	Upper bound parsed out of salary.
salaryCurrency	string	ISO 4217 code parsed out of salary, e.g. USD.
salaryPeriod	string	Usually hourly or yearly; also daily, weekly or monthly when the label says so.

Role details

Field	Type	Description
employmentType	string	Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Third Party or a combination.
skills	array	Skill tags Dice lists on the job page (job detail URLs only).
easyApply	boolean	True when the posting supports Dice's one-click apply.
willingToSponsor	boolean	True when the employer states it is willing to sponsor a visa.

Dates

Field	Type	Description
postedDate	string	ISO 8601 date the job was first posted.
modifiedDate	string	ISO 8601 date the posting was last updated.

Posting text

Field	Type	Description
summary	string	Description excerpt returned with every search result (contact details redacted).
description	string	Full description as plain text (job detail URLs only, contact details redacted).

A field is simply omitted when Dice does not publish it. That is honest, not a guess: Dice leaves salary off roughly one posting in five, and leaves the location off many remote postings (there isRemote and workplaceTypes carry the information).

Result status (tri-state output)

status	Meaning	Billed?
ok	The job was found and extracted.	Yes
not_found	Dice answered, but the search has no matches or the job page no longer exists (Dice serves those with HTTP 200 and a "Job Not Found" page).	No
error	Dice could not be read after retries (network error, block, or a format change). error says why.	No

How to scrape Dice.com with this Actor

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and click Try for free.
2. Run a search on dice.com, copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into Dice search URLs - or leave that empty and type a Search keyword plus a Location.
3. Optionally tick Remote jobs only or set Posted within (days).
4. Set Maximum results (start with the default 20 to see the output).
5. Click Start. The default input takes about 3 seconds; 1,000 jobs take under a minute.
6. Open the Output tab or Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

To automate it, use the API tab (Node.js, Python, curl examples) or add a Schedule.

Input

Every field is optional - the prefilled values already produce a complete run. See the Input tab for the full schema.

Field	Type	Default	When to change it
startUrls	array of strings	["https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=python%20developer&location=Remote"]	Paste the exact searches you want, one per line: search pages (https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=...) or single job pages (https://www.dice.com/job-detail/<guid>). Job pages are the only way to get description and skills.
query	string	empty	Use it instead of startUrls to describe the search in plain words, e.g. data engineer. Ignored when startUrls is set.
location	string	empty	Add a place to narrow the search: New York, NY, USA, Austin, TX, USA or Remote. Dice searches within about 30 miles of it. Ignored when startUrls is set.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Turn it on to keep only postings Dice flags as remote.
postedWithinDays	integer	empty (no date filter)	Set 1 on a daily schedule, or 7 for a weekly sweep, so you only pay for fresh postings. Dice offers 1, 3 and 7-day buckets.
maxItems	integer	20	Raise it for production pulls, lower it while testing. This is your main spending cap; the Actor asks Dice for exactly as many jobs per request as the run may still keep, up to 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy off	Leave it off - the Actor is HTTP-only and works from datacenter IPs. Enable the Apify Proxy datacenter group only if you see error rows mentioning blocking.

Example input (exactly the prefilled default):

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=python%20developer&location=Remote"],
    "maxItems": 20
}

Or without a URL:

{
    "query": "data engineer",
    "location": "New York, NY, USA",
    "remoteOnly": true,
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "maxItems": 100
}

How much does it cost to scrape Dice.com?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Price	Charged when
Actor start	$0.005 per run	Once when the run starts. The platform charges one event per GB of memory and the Actor runs on 1 GB, so this is one event.
Job posting	$0.00199 per job	One job posting with status: ok was saved to the dataset.

1,000 job postings cost about $2.00 ($0.005 to start plus 1,000 x $0.00199). You are never charged for a row with status not_found or error, and never for a duplicate: a URL that appears twice in your input, or a next-page link the crawler has already followed, is fetched once per run. The free Apify plan's $5 of monthly credit covers about 2,500 jobs in a single run.

You can cap spending per run with Maximum results and with the run's Max total charge option; the Actor stops gracefully when either limit is reached and keeps everything it has already saved.

How it compares

This Actor is deliberately narrow and fast. It reads the same public job-search endpoint that dice.com's own site calls, which is why one request returns up to 100 jobs, a run costs seconds rather than minutes, and no browser or proxy is needed. If you want deep US tech coverage with parsed salaries, skill tags, a sponsorship flag and a tri-state row you can trust inside an automated pipeline, this is a good fit.

It is not for you if you need non-US roles or non-tech roles; if you need candidate profiles, resumes or anything inside a Dice account; if you need a vendor-backed feed with a stability guarantee; or if you want one Actor that also covers other job boards. It reads a single public source, and reports honestly when that source changes.

Integrations, exports and API access

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML and HTML from the Output tab or the dataset API. From there, Apify integrations and webhooks push the same rows into Google Sheets, Airtable or a CRM, plus Slack, Amazon S3 or your own endpoint - directly, or through Zapier, Make and n8n. Add a Schedule and today's new postings land in your sheet every morning.

The Actor can also be called from the Apify API (Node.js, Python and curl snippets are on the API tab), from the Apify MCP server, or by any AI agent that can call a tool: the inputs are plain strings and numbers, and every row carries status and error, so an agent can tell an empty search apart from a failure without parsing prose.

Tips

• Keep maxItems small while testing, then raise it. The Actor asks Dice for exactly as many jobs per request as the run may keep, up to 100.
• Pass several startUrls in one run instead of many single-URL runs; you pay the start fee once.
• To cover a large market, split it into several narrower search URLs (per city, per keyword) rather than one very deep search.
• If you see error rows mentioning blocking, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter) in Proxy configuration.

Limitations

• Dice is a US tech job board. Expect software, data, IT, security and engineering roles in the United States; there is no coverage of other countries or of non-tech roles.
• Undocumented data source. The Actor reads the same public job-search endpoint that dice.com's own website calls. Dice can change or retire that endpoint at any time; when that happens rows come back as error and the Actor is updated (report it in the Issues tab).
• Date filter granularity. Dice only offers "today", "last 3 days" and "last 7 days"; other values of postedWithinDays are rounded up to the next bucket, and anything above 7 means no date filter.
• Full description and skills need a job URL. Search results carry a summary excerpt only. Put https://www.dice.com/job-detail/<guid> URLs in Dice search URLs to get description and skills, at one HTTP request per job.
• Depth per search URL. One search URL is followed for at most 50 pages (up to 5,000 jobs). Use several narrower searches beyond that.
• No login and no personal data. Postings behind a Dice account, candidate profiles, resumes and recruiter contact details are out of scope by design.
• Results reflect what Dice published at the time of the run.

FAQ

Does this Actor need an API key or a Dice account? No. You only need an Apify account. The Actor sends the same public front-end key that dice.com's website ships in its own JavaScript to every visitor, and refreshes it from those public files if Dice changes it. There is no login step.

How do I get more results? Raise maxItems first - it is the only limit that stops a run early. Past about 5,000 jobs per search URL, split the market into several narrower searches (per city, per keyword, per employment type) and pass them all as startUrls in the same run.

How often does the data change? Constantly. US tech postings are added, updated and closed through the day, and modifiedDate moves whenever an employer edits a listing. Schedule a daily run with postedWithinDays: 1 if you want a clean "new today" feed.

What happens if Dice changes its site? Rows come back with status: error and a reason instead of silently wrong data, so your pipeline can alert on it. Report it in the Issues tab with the run ID; you are not billed for error rows in the meantime.

Is it legal to scrape Dice.com? Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the output. Read the legal notice below and Dice's terms of service, and do not collect personal data without a legitimate reason.

Why is location empty on some rows? Dice frequently leaves the location off fully remote postings. Those rows still have isRemote: true and workplaceTypes.

Why did I get fewer rows than maxItems? The search had fewer matches, or the run hit your Max total charge limit. Check the run log for "Stopping gracefully".

Can I use this Actor from an AI agent or MCP client? Yes. Every row is self-describing (status plus error), inputs are plain strings, and results can be fetched via the dataset API or the Apify MCP server.

Legal and data-protection notice

This Actor extracts only data that Dice.com publishes publicly; it does not extract private user data such as recruiter names, email addresses, phone numbers, gender or precise location (contact details found in free-text job descriptions are redacted before the row is saved), and it does not log in or work around access controls. However, your results could still contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you are unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You are responsible for complying with Dice.com's terms of service and applicable law when using the extracted data.
