Built In Tech Jobs Scraper

Built In Tech Jobs Scraper

Scrape tech job listings from Built In by keyword, location, category, or remote status, up to a million per run. Each listing returns the job title, company, location, description, and required skills. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Built In aggregates tech jobs from startups and established companies, but manually searching across cities and categories is slow. This Actor reads the public job feeds directly, filtering by job title, location, category, and remote preference, and returns each match in a consistent, flat schema ready for analysis or your own job board.

What it does

This Actor collects tech job listings from Built In by keyword, location, category, or remote filter, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🔍 Keyword search: Filter by job title or skill, such as 'software engineer' or 'data scientist'.
• 📍 Location targeting: Narrow results to a specific city or state, or leave blank for all locations.
• 🏷️ Category filter: Restrict listings to a department like engineering, data, design, or marketing.
• 🏡 Remote flag: Toggle a checkbox to return only remote-friendly roles.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your keyword, location, and category combination returns listings on the Built In website. Try broadening your search by removing the location or category filter, or using a more common keyword.

The Actor stops before reaching my maxItems limit.

This happens when there are fewer total listings for your search criteria than the maxItems you set. The Actor collects all available matches and then finishes. Try a broader keyword or remove filters to get more results.

Some job listings are missing the description field.

A small number of listings may have truncated or missing descriptions on the source site itself. The Actor returns whatever text is publicly available. If the issue is widespread, try re-running the Actor later.

The Actor is running slowly.

The Actor respects the source website by pacing its requests. If you need faster collection, you can increase the Actor's memory in the run settings, but the primary constraint is polite crawling speed.

I get an error when using a specific category name.

Category names must match Built In's URL slug format. Try using a single word like 'engineering' or 'data' rather than a multi-word phrase. Check the Built In website to see the exact category name used in the URL.
