Tips for best results

Use specific keywords — Search for exact roles like "java developer", "site reliability engineer", or "data analyst" to get targeted results. Broad keywords return more listings but may need filtering after export.

Use Search URL for precision — Paste a Dice.com search URL when you want to replicate a search you've already refined in the browser. This is especially useful for recurring monitoring of the same search configuration.

Start small, then scale — Begin with maxResults set to 20 or 50 to validate the output quickly. Increase the collection size once the query returns the jobs you expect.

Use recent posting filters — Choose 24h or 3d for fresh hiring signals. Use 7d or 30d when building larger research datasets or analyzing trends.

Expect missing fields occasionally — Not every Dice.com listing publishes salary, sponsorship status, or complete company data. Empty values reflect what the employer chose to disclose, not a scraper limitation.

FAQ

How many jobs can I collect in one run? Use maxResults to control the maximum number of jobs saved. The actor stops when it reaches your target or when no more matching results are available on Dice.com.

Can I use a Dice search URL instead of entering filters manually? Yes. Paste any Dice.com search results URL into the startUrl field. The actor extracts the keyword and location from the URL and uses them as the search parameters.

Can I filter by posting date? Yes. Use postedDate with all, 24h, 3d, 7d, or 30d to control how recent the listings should be.

Why are some salary or company fields empty? Not every listing on Dice.com includes salary, sponsorship, or complete company information. Empty values mean the employer did not publish that data.

Does the actor return full job descriptions? The actor returns the summary and any detailed description available from the search API. For the fullest description, check the description_html and description_text fields.

Can I limit the number of pages visited? Yes. Set maxPages to cap page traversal. Leave it empty to let the actor paginate until your maxResults target is reached.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify scheduling to run the Dice Jobs Scraper daily, weekly, or at any interval. Combine with webhooks or integrations to automate your job data pipeline.

Can I access the data via API? Yes. Every run produces a dataset accessible via the Apify API. Integrate with Python, JavaScript, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any HTTP-capable tool. See the API tab for code examples.

Does this actor work without a proxy? Dice.com's search API generally works without a proxy. For larger or repeated runs, enabling Apify Proxy in the advanced settings can improve reliability.

Is it legal to scrape Dice.com?

This Actor extracts publicly available job listing data from Dice.com. It does not bypass login walls, access private accounts, or collect personal user data. The data collected consists of job postings that employers have intentionally made public for recruitment purposes. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered legal based on precedent, including the US Ninth Circuit's decision in hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn. Users are responsible for ensuring their use of scraped data complies with applicable laws and Dice.com's Terms of Service. For more information, read Apify's blog post on web scraping legality.
