CutShort Scraper

🔎 CutShort Scraper for tech jobs

CutShort Scraper extracts public tech and startup job listings from CutShort and saves them as clean Apify dataset rows. Search by skills such as python, react, or devops, paste CutShort job/search URLs, or combine both in one run.

Use this CutShort scraper for recruiting research, job-market monitoring, salary checks, startup job discovery, lead lists, and repeat exports. Each saved job can include title, company, locations, remote type, salary, USD salary estimates, experience, skills, recruiter details, company profile fields, job description, matched inputs, and source position.

The default input searches common tech skills and saves up to 225 jobs. For a smaller first run, lower Job limit to 25, open the dataset, and then scale the limit when the output matches your workflow.

✅ What this CutShort scraper does

• Searches public CutShort jobs by skill or role term.
• Accepts CutShort job URLs and search URLs.
• Saves one dataset row per unique job listing.
• De-duplicates matching jobs across all skills and URLs in the same run.
• Extracts job title, company, locations, remote type, salary, experience, skills, job type, recruiter details, descriptions, company profile fields, and source context when CutShort exposes them.
• Adds USD salary estimates when INR salary values are visible.
• Lets you choose full, summary, or lightweight job-identity output.
• Works with Apify exports, schedules, webhooks, integrations, and API clients.

This Actor focuses on public CutShort job data. It does not log in to CutShort, submit applications, contact companies, scrape candidate profiles, or collect private account pages.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged only for public CutShort jobs saved to the dataset. Runs that find no matching jobs do not create saved-job charge events.

Current price:

• $0.00135 per saved job
• About $1.35 per 1,000 saved jobs

Use Job limit to control run size and cost. Lower it for a small sample, or keep the default when you want a broader first export.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• CutShort may omit fields such as salary, recruiter, company tech stack, funding stage, company size, remote type, or full description on some listings.
• Broad skill terms can return overlapping jobs. The Actor de-duplicates jobs within the run before saving them.
• Direct job URLs normally produce one job row each when the public page still exposes job data.
• salaryMinUsdEstimate and salaryMaxUsdEstimate are calculated estimates, not values shown by CutShort.
• Invalid targets and no-result searches are reported in logs, not as placeholder dataset rows.

❓ FAQ

🔐 Do I need a CutShort login?

No. This Actor works with public CutShort job listings and does not ask for CutShort cookies, passwords, or API keys.

🔗 Can I paste a CutShort job URL?

Yes. Add direct CutShort job URLs to CutShort URLs. Each valid direct job URL normally saves one job row.

🧭 Can I scrape all CutShort jobs?

No. Start from skill terms or CutShort URLs. This keeps runs focused and avoids pretending CutShort has one complete all-jobs mode.

📉 Why are some salary fields empty?

Some CutShort listings do not show salary details. When salary text is visible, the Actor saves the raw text and tries to parse numeric minimum and maximum values.

🧩 Why does the dataset not include direct job URLs?

The dataset keeps source-native job IDs and slugs, so URLs can be rebuilt downstream without storing duplicate derived fields in every row.
