Input

Field	Default	Description
query	software engineer	Job title or keyword used to search job listings.
location	""	City and state, e.g. "Austin, TX". Empty = nationwide.
nationwide_fallback	true	If a location-specific browse page is unavailable, use the nationwide feed and filter results by location text.
max_results	20	Maximum number of records to return (1–500).

The Actor runs with empty input, defaulting to software engineer jobs nationwide.

Output

One record is returned for each job listing:

{
  "job_id": "dCMqP5rQB7ezN_pB4MHD_w",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "WeInfuse",
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "work_setting": "On-site",
  "salary": "$135K - $170K/yr",
  "salary_min": 135000.0,
  "salary_max": 170000.0,
  "badges": ["Quick apply"],
  "snippet": "We're not rockstars or ninjas, just a team of developers…",
  "job_url": "https://www.example.com/job/...",
  "company_url": "https://www.example.com/company/...",
  "search_query": "software engineer",
  "search_location": "Austin, TX",
  "raw": {
    "..."
  }
}

Salary fields

salary_min and salary_max are parsed from the salary information displayed on the listing.

For example:

$135K - $170K/yr

becomes:

salary_min: 135000
salary_max: 170000

When a listing does not publish salary information, these fields are returned as null.

Data Source

The Actor collects information from publicly accessible job-listing browse pages.

No API key or user account is required.

Location-specific pages generally use city + state combinations such as:

Austin, TX
New York, NY
Chicago, IL

A state-only or city-only location may not have a corresponding browse page. When a requested browse page is unavailable, the Actor can use the nationwide feed and filter results using the location text.

Some keyword and location combinations may also be unavailable. When nationwide_fallback is enabled, the Actor automatically attempts the nationwide source instead.

Features

• Search jobs by keyword
• Filter by city and state
• Nationwide job search
• Automatic nationwide fallback
• Configurable result limit
• Salary extraction and normalization
• Company information
• Job location
• Work setting when available
• Listing badges
• Original listing URL
• Raw parsed card data

Request Handling

The source website uses automated traffic protection. The Actor therefore uses conservative request pacing and retry handling.

High-volume or sustained scraping may encounter temporary access challenges. Residential proxies may improve reliability for larger runs.

Important Notes

• Data is collected from publicly accessible pages.
• Job listing availability and fields may change over time.
• Employment type is not necessarily available in every listing.
• Salary information is only provided when published on the source listing.
• Some listings may disappear or change after collection.
• Users are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website terms, and robots policies when using the collected data.
