Wellfound Jobs Scraper

Scrape startup jobs from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent). Give it roles and cities (or remote), get one flat row per job with salary, job type, locations, the full description and the startup behind it: size, stage, badges like YC Funded or Top Investors, tagline and logo. Plain HTTP, no login, no browser.

Tested head-to-head — 9 October 2026

We sent the same request — remote software engineer jobs, limit 20 rows — to this Actor and to the four Wellfound scrapers with the most monthly users on Apify Store (A–D, most users first).

• Price: $1.50 per 1,000 jobs and no start fee. The others charge $1.99–$3.00 per 1,000 plus $0.00005–$0.01 per start.
• Rows: 20 of 20. One Actor returned 0 rows, another ignored the limit and returned a full page of 40.
• Data: 35 filled fields per row, including salary and equity as numbers (salaryMin, equityMinPct …) and the startup's size, stage and badges. The two biggest Actors fill 50 fields; their extras are mostly company flags that we keep in companyBadges.
• Speed: 13.1 s for the run, slower than the two fastest (5.4–6.7 s).

Measured on 25 Sep 2026: software engineer / San Francisco lists 785 jobs at 286 startups; remote software engineer 1,856 jobs at 897 startups; remote product manager 1,636. One listing page ≈ 45 jobs in one request.

How much does it cost

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs (Free plan; $1.20 on Gold and higher plans). Nothing per run, per search or per page; rows that fail are free. The free Apify plan ($5 credit) covers about 3,300 jobs.

Use cases

Recruiters and sourcing agencies

Daily feed of new startup roles in your niche; filter by companyStage, compensation, remote.

Sales and investors

Startups with the Actively Hiring badge and many open engineering roles are growing — a lead list with size, stage and tagline included.

Job boards and aggregators

Bulk export by role × city on a schedule; id is stable, so re-runs only add what is new.

AI agents

Call it from an agent (Apify MCP server, x402) with a plain question — "remote data scientist jobs at seed-stage startups" — and get structured rows back.

Integrations

Works with the Apify API and clients (Python, JavaScript), n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, webhooks and the Apify MCP server. Schedule it in the Apify Console to keep a live feed.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/lergassy~wellfound-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \

Limits and troubleshooting

• Data comes from Wellfound's public listing pages (role, role + city, remote role, city). Company pages and individual job pages sit behind a bot check, so fields that exist only there (founder names, funding rounds) are not included.
• A role or city Wellfound does not know returns one free error row saying so — check the spelling against the URL on wellfound.com.
• Salary is shown only where the startup published it (about 85% of rows in our tests).

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Wellfound?

The Actor reads public listing pages that Wellfound shows to any visitor and collects no personal data of candidates. Job adverts are published to be read. Use the data in line with Wellfound's terms and your local law.

How fresh is the data?

Live at run time. Schedule the Actor hourly or daily to track new postings.

Can I search by keyword inside the description?

Not on Wellfound's side. Export a role and filter the description column afterwards.

Your feedback

If a field is missing or a page stops working, open an issue on the Actor page — fixes usually ship the same day. A ⭐ review helps other people find the Actor.
