Dice Scraper

Independent tool. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Dice or DHI Group, Inc. "Dice" is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to describe the website this Actor reads.

Dice Scraper exports job listings from Dice.com — the largest US job board for technology professionals — into clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Search by keyword, city, state, ZIP code or "Remote", filter by employment type (full-time, contract W2 / 1099, Corp-to-Corp), workplace (on-site, remote, hybrid), employer type (direct hire vs. recruiter), posting date, Easy Apply and visa sponsorship, or export every job on Dice in one run (about 110,000 jobs in under two minutes). No Dice account, no login, no cookies and no browser are needed.

Every row comes with the salary range (parsed into min / max / currency / period), the full job description, Dice's skills list, the contract types the employer accepts (W2, 1099, C2C), the employer's own position / requisition id, and the hiring company's website, size, founding year, headquarters, industries and company type (employer or staffing agency). Use it as a Dice API alternative, a Dice jobs scraper for recruiting and staffing sales, a source for tech salary benchmarks, or a daily feed of new tech jobs for your ATS, CRM or job board.

Use cases

Recruiting and sourcing

Pull every open Java, Python, DevOps, data, cloud or cybersecurity role in a metro area, with salary ranges and required skills, to see what competing employers offer and which skills are in demand. Filter to direct-hire postings to skip agency duplicates.

Staffing agency business development (companies hiring = leads)

Every job is a buying signal. Export the companies hiring for the skills you place, with their website, size, headquarters and industry, and hand the list to your sales team. Filter by employer type = direct hire to reach the end client, or by recruiter to map competing agencies.

Contract and C2C market

Dice is the main US board for contract and Corp-to-Corp IT work. Filter employmentTypes to CONTRACTS and THIRD_PARTY and get the hourly rate, the accepted contract types (W2 / 1099 / C2C) and the client location for every requirement — the daily bench-sales feed in one CSV.

Salary benchmarking and labor-market research

~56% of Dice jobs carry a parsable pay range (99.6% of the ones that state a number are parsed). Build hourly and annual pay distributions by title, skill, state and employer type; track them weekly by scheduling the Actor.

Visa sponsorship (H-1B) job lists

willingToSponsorOnly: true returns only the jobs whose employer marked willing to sponsor — useful for international candidates and immigration-focused job boards.

Job boards, aggregators and ATS feeds

Schedule a run with postedWithin: "1" every morning and push only the last 24 hours of Dice jobs into your board, Slack channel, Airtable or database. descriptionHtml keeps the original formatting for re-publishing.

AI agents and LLM pipelines

Feed structured job data (skills, pay, location, company) to your RAG index or agent through the API or the Apify MCP server.

How it works

1. The Actor calls the same public JSON search API that dice.com uses, 1,000 jobs per request, over a direct connection (no proxy cost).
2. Dice answers at most 10,000 results per search. When you ask for more, the search is split along Dice's own exact filters — remote / employer type / Easy Apply / sponsorship / work-from-home / employment type, then state by state and country by country — until every slice fits, and each job is de-duplicated by its Dice id.
3. With Include full job details on (default), each job page is read for the full description, skills, contract types, position id, apply type, ZIP code and expiry date (40 pages in parallel).
4. With Include company profile on (default), the hiring companies' Dice profiles are fetched 50 companies per request and cached, so the cost is almost zero.
5. Rows stream into the dataset as they are ready. A run that cannot reach Dice fails with the reason instead of returning an empty "success".

Input

1. Keyword search (nationwide)

{
  "searchTerms": ["data engineer", "snowflake"],
  "maxItems": 2000
}

2. Location + filters

{
  "searchTerms": ["java developer"],
  "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Dallas, TX"],
  "radiusMiles": 50,
  "includeRemoteJobs": false,
  "workplaceTypes": ["On-Site", "Hybrid"],
  "employerTypes": ["Direct Hire"],
  "postedWithin": "7",
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Locations accept a US city ("Austin, TX"), a state ("Texas" or "TX"), a ZIP code ("94105") or "Remote" for remote-only jobs. A few international cities work too (Dice lists a few hundred jobs in Canada, India, the UK and Mexico).

3. Contract / Corp-to-Corp (C2C) requirements

{
  "searchTerms": ["salesforce", "sap", "servicenow"],
  "employmentTypes": ["CONTRACTS", "THIRD_PARTY"],
  "postedWithin": "1",
  "maxItems": 5000
}

4. Jobs from specific companies

{
  "companies": ["Booz Allen Hamilton", "Capital One", "Kforce Technology Staffing"],
  "maxItems": 3000
}

Company names are matched the way Dice spells them (case does not matter). If Dice cannot filter a company (some employers post through job-ad distributors), the Actor searches the name and keeps only that company's jobs.

5. Export every job on Dice

{
  "maxItems": 0,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "includeCompanyDetails": true
}

Leave the search empty and set maxItems to 0. Measured: 111,324 unique jobs in 104 seconds with company profiles. Turn includeDetails on for full descriptions and skills (~45 jobs per second, about 40 minutes for the whole board). Make sure your Maximum cost per run covers the number of results (see below).

6. Paste Dice URLs

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=devops&location=Seattle,%20WA&radius=50&filters.employmentType=CONTRACTS&filters.workplaceTypes=Hybrid" },
    { "url": "https://www.dice.com/job-detail/4cdb2d7b-eda3-474f-b5ff-6ff95c99ca1a" }
  ]
}

Search pages keep their filters; job pages are scraped directly.

How much data can I get?

Dice lists roughly 110,000–113,000 jobs at any time (mostly US technology, engineering and IT roles, plus some healthcare, finance and government work). Measured on the Apify platform on 2026-10-15:

Run	Result	Time
Prefill / first run (100 jobs, job pages + company profiles)	100 jobs	5.9 s
1,000 jobs, default settings	1,000 jobs, 0 duplicates	28.8 s
10,000 jobs with full job pages + company profiles	10,000 jobs, 0 duplicates, 99.8% with description	211 s
The whole Dice job board (company profiles on, job pages off)	111,324 unique jobs, 0 duplicates (98.4% of the 113,187 Dice reported at that moment)	104 s

Coverage notes:

• One Dice search stops at 10,000 results; the Actor splits bigger searches automatically (12 splits and 85 slices for the whole board).
• About 1.5% of Dice jobs have no state or country at all (and are not marked remote); Dice offers no filter for them, so the Actor reaches them through the newest and the most relevant 10,000 of their slice. That is why a full export lands at ~98.5%, not 100%.

Fill rates measured on the 10,000-job run: description 99.8%, skills 97.8%, position id 99.8%, location 91%, ZIP code 88%, pay text 76%, parsed pay range 56% (99.6% of the pay texts that contain a number), company profile 81%, company website 61%, contract types on 92% of contract jobs. Fields are empty only when Dice has no value — e.g. "Depends on Experience" pay, or jobs posted through job-ad distributors, whose company profile belongs to the distributor and is therefore left out instead of being attached to the wrong employer.

Big runs need a big enough "Maximum cost per run"

Apify stops every pay-per-result run at its Maximum cost per run (set in the run options; the platform also sets a default). The Actor reads that limit at start, stops cleanly when it is reached and tells you so: "Saved 37 jobs — this run's maximum cost ($0.05) covers 37 results at the current price. Raise 'Maximum cost per run' to get more." The run still ends as Succeeded and you pay only for the jobs saved. For a full-board export (110,000+ jobs) raise the limit to cover it.

---

What you pay

A fixed price per job in the dataset — compute, proxies and the job-page / company-profile requests are included. No monthly rental, no charge for duplicates or for jobs that were filtered out.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 jobs
Free	$1.50

Make, Zapier and n8n

Use the Apify app / node: "Run Actor" with logiover/dice-scraper and your input, then "Get dataset items" to map fields into Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, Slack or email.

Google Sheets

Export the dataset as CSV/Excel from the run page, or use the Apify Google Sheets integration to append new jobs to a sheet after every scheduled run.

Webhooks

Add a webhook on "Run succeeded" to call your endpoint with the dataset id — ideal for a daily new-jobs feed (postedWithin: "1", schedule every morning).

MCP and AI agents

The Actor works through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent can call it as a tool ("find remote Python contract jobs posted today with C2C") and receive structured rows.

Limits and tips

• Max 10,000 per search on Dice — handled automatically; you never need to split searches yourself.
• Job pages are the slow part (~45 jobs/second). For 50,000+ jobs, consider includeDetails: false first and enrich only the jobs you need by pasting their URLs into startUrls.
• Dice's keyword search is broad: "software engineer" matches ~79,000 jobs because Dice searches descriptions too. Combine terms with filters, or use quotes and specific titles.
• Dice is US-focused. A few hundred jobs are located in Canada, India, the UK, Mexico and elsewhere; they are included in full-board exports.
• Pay: about a quarter of jobs say "Depends on Experience" — those keep salary and leave the parsed range empty.
• Locations Dice cannot place (typos, unknown towns) are reported and skipped instead of silently searching the whole country.

FAQ

What is Dice Scraper?

An Apify Actor that exports job listings from Dice.com — title, company, location, pay, employment and contract type, skills, full description and the hiring company's profile — as JSON, CSV or Excel, by keyword, location, filters, company or for the whole board.

Is there an official Dice API?

Dice does not offer a public jobs API for third parties. This Actor reads the same public search API and job pages that dice.com shows to every visitor, without logging in, and turns them into structured data.

Do I need a Dice account, login or cookies?

No. Everything the Actor reads is public. No account, cookies or API key of yours are needed.

Do I need proxies?

No. The Actor uses a direct connection first; if Dice ever refuses it, it switches to Apify datacenter proxies and then to the proxy in your input, and goes back to the cheaper route when it works again.

How many jobs can I get per run?

Up to the whole board: 111,324 unique jobs were exported in one run on 2026-10-15. Searches over 10,000 results are split automatically.

How fast is it?

1,000 jobs with full details in ~30 seconds; 10,000 in ~3.5 minutes; the whole board without job pages in under 2 minutes.

How much does it cost?

A fixed $1.00–$1.50 per 1,000 jobs depending on your Apify plan, everything included. See What you pay.

Can I get only contract or C2C (Corp-to-Corp) jobs?

Yes: "employmentTypes": ["CONTRACTS", "THIRD_PARTY"]. With job details on, contractTypes shows which of W2, 1099 and C2C the employer accepts.

Can I filter by salary?

Dice has no salary filter, but every row has salaryMin, salaryMax and salaryPeriod, so you can filter the dataset (or the CSV) by pay after the run.

Can I scrape only jobs posted today?

Yes: "postedWithin": "1" (last 24 hours). Schedule the Actor daily for a fresh feed. 14 and 30 days are supported too.

How do I get only jobs in one city without remote jobs?

Set locations to the city and includeRemoteJobs to false. Dice's default mixes nationwide remote jobs into local searches.

Why is the company website empty for some jobs?

Some employers post on Dice through job-ad distributors (Appcast, JobTarget, Recruitics …). Their jobs point to the distributor's profile, not the employer's, so the Actor leaves the company fields empty rather than attaching the wrong company. Other employers have a Dice profile without a website.

Why did my run stop before Max results?

Either Dice had no more matching jobs (the status message says "every matching job read"), or the run reached its Maximum cost per run (the status message says so and shows how many results the limit covers). Raise the limit in the run options for bigger exports.

What happens if Dice is down or blocks the run?

The Actor retries, changes route (direct → datacenter proxy → your proxy) and, if nothing works, fails with the reason in the log and in the SUMMARY record — it never reports an empty dataset as a successful search.

Can I scrape a list of Dice job URLs?

Yes. Put https://www.dice.com/job-detail/... URLs into startUrls; each becomes a full row (description, skills, pay, company).

Can I monitor new jobs for specific companies?

Yes: companies + postedWithin: "1" + a daily schedule.

I need a field or a filter that is missing. Can you add it?

Yes — open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab and describe what you need.

---

Is it legal to scrape Dice?

This Actor reads only publicly available job postings — the same information any visitor sees on dice.com without logging in — and does not collect personal data about candidates. Job postings are business information published to be seen. You are responsible for using the data in line with Dice's terms, applicable laws (including GDPR/CCPA where personal data is concerned) and your own policies. If in doubt, consult a lawyer.

Changelog

• 1.0 (2026-10-15) — First release: Dice search API with 1,000 jobs per request; automatic splitting past Dice's 10,000-results-per-search limit (remote, employer type, Easy Apply, sponsorship, work from home, employment type, then state by state and country by country); job pages (full description, skills, contract types W2 / 1099 / C2C, position id, apply type, ZIP, expiry); company profiles 50 per request (website, size, founded, HQ, industries, type); job-ad distributor profiles detected and left out; pay-per-result budget handled cleanly.
