❓ FAQ

Does this require authentication? No. The Algolia search keys used are public and embedded in WTTJ's frontend JavaScript.

What's the difference between language: en and language: fr? WTTJ maintains separate job indexes for English and French listings. Some companies post in both languages, others only in one.

Will fetchJobDetails get me the salary? Salary data is included in the Algolia index when companies choose to disclose it. fetchJobDetails may provide additional detail but salary disclosure depends entirely on the company.

How fresh is the data? The Algolia index is updated in near real-time as companies post and remove jobs. Run on a schedule for up-to-date results.

Is this a Welcome to the Jungle API alternative?

Yes. Welcome to the Jungle has no public jobs API, so this actor acts as an unofficial API alternative — it queries WTTJ's internal Algolia search to return structured job, salary and company data.

How do I export Welcome to the Jungle jobs to CSV or JSON?

Run the actor, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the run page or the Apify API. This makes WTTJ job data export to a spreadsheet or pipeline straightforward.

Can I scrape Welcome to the Jungle without login?

Yes. The actor scrapes WTTJ without login or proxy — it uses the public Algolia search keys embedded in WTTJ's frontend, so no account or authentication is needed.
