Y Combinator Jobs Scraper — Startup Jobs, Salaries & Equity

Y Combinator Jobs Scraper

---

Scrape startup jobs from Y Combinator companies (ycombinator.com/jobs). Provide the main jobs list, a role page, a location page or a role + location page — the Actor reads the data embedded in the page and returns every job on it as structured data: title, company, YC batch, location, remote flag, salary range, equity, experience, role and apply URL. Turn on detailedInfo to also fetch each job's full description, hiring manager and company details (website, team size, HQ).

⚙️ Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
url	String	(required)	A ycombinator.com/jobs URL: https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs, a role page such as https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/role/software-engineer, a location page such as https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/location/san-francisco, or a role + location page such as https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/role/software-engineer/new-york.
maxItems	Integer	0	Max jobs to return (0 = all jobs on the page; pages hold roughly 20–50 jobs).

proxyConfiguration	Object	Apify Proxy (auto)	Proxy settings; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty.

Example Input

{
  "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs/role/software-engineer",
  "maxItems": 0,
  "detailedInfo": true
}

Getting your start URL

1. Open ycombinator.com/jobs and pick a role (Software Engineer, Designer, Product Manager, Sales, Marketing …) and/or a location (San Francisco, New York, Remote …) from the page
2. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar
3. Paste it as the url input — the list pages have no pagination, so one run returns everything shown on that page

Notes: the apply link goes through a YC account sign-in (Work at a Startup); the Actor never logs in and only reads the public pages. postedAt and lastActive are the relative ages shown on the site (e.g. "10 months").

Is it legal to scrape Y Combinator job data?

It is legal to scrape publicly available job data such as titles, locations, salaries and descriptions. Results may include personal data (e.g. hiring-manager names); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Consult your legal advisor if unsure.
