H-1B LCA Visa Wage & Employer Data Scraper

H-1B LCA Visa Wage & Employer Data Scraper

Scrape H-1B visa wage and employer disclosure records by company, job title, city, or year, up to a million per run. Each row returns the offered salary, worksite, case status, and employer details. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The official H-1B LCA disclosure site lets you search employer filings but offers no bulk export, no API, and a clunky paginated interface. This Actor reads the public disclosure tables directly, applies your filters for employer, job title, city, and fiscal year, and returns every matching record in one flat dataset. You can also enrich each row with full case details from the individual disclosure pages.

What it does

This Actor collects H-1B Labor Condition Application records from the public disclosure portal and returns each one as a structured row with wage, employer, job title, and worksite data.

• 🔍 Flexible search filters: Combine employer name, job title keyword, work city, and fiscal year to narrow the result set before scraping starts.
• 📄 Full case details: Enable the option to fetch each disclosure's detail page and enrich your dataset with case status, decision date, SOC code, NAICS code, and employer contact information.
• 🔗 Direct URL mode: Paste a pre-built search URL from the source site to scrape an exact view, bypassing the filter fields entirely.
• 📊 Structured flat output: Every disclosure is returned as a single row with a consistent schema, ready for analysis in any spreadsheet or database.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

The most common cause is an 'All Years' search with an empty employer, job title, and city filter. The source site requires at least one search term for broad queries. Add an employer name or job title keyword and try again.

The run is taking a long time.

When 'Include full case details' is enabled, the Actor makes one request per disclosure to fetch the detail page. For large result sets, this multiplies the run time. Disable this option for a faster listing-only scrape, or reduce the maximum disclosures.

Some rows are missing the case status or SOC code.

These fields are only populated when 'Include full case details' is checked. If the option was enabled and fields are still missing, the detail page for that specific disclosure may not have contained the data, or the page structure changed.

I pasted a URL but the Actor is ignoring my filters.

When the 'H-1B LCA disclosure URLs' field is filled, the employer, job title, city, and year filters are bypassed entirely. The Actor scrapes exactly the result set defined by that URL. Clear the URL field to use the filter inputs instead.

The dataset has fewer rows than I expected.

Check that your filters match the exact spelling used on the source site. Partial matches work, but a typo will return zero rows. Also verify the year filter is set to the correct fiscal year or 'All Years'.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What data source does this Actor use?	It reads the public H-1B LCA disclosure tables published by the U.S. Department of Labor. The site hosts fiscal year filings that include employer names, job titles, offered wages, and worksite locations.
Can I scrape multiple years at once?	Yes. Set the Year filter to 'All Years' and combine it with at least one other filter like employer or job title. Without a narrow filter, an 'All Years' query may return no results because the source site requires at least one search term for broad queries.
What extra fields do I get when I enable full case details?	The Actor visits each disclosure's detail page and adds the case status, decision date, SOC code, NAICS code, employer address, employer phone, employer point of contact, and the workforce position breakdown to the row.
How do I scrape a specific search I already built on the site?	Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar after running a search on the disclosure site and paste it into the 'H-1B LCA disclosure URLs' field. The Actor will paginate through that exact result set.
Is there a risk of getting blocked?	The Actor runs on the Apify platform with automatic proxy rotation and reasonable request delays. For very large runs, the platform's infrastructure helps distribute the load to avoid rate limiting.
Can I filter by a partial employer name?	Yes. The employer filter is case insensitive and accepts partial matches. Typing 'MICRO' will return records for MICROSOFT, MICRON, and any other employer containing that string.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify run console.
Does this cover PERM or green card filings?	No. This Actor is scoped to H-1B Labor Condition Applications only. It does not scrape PERM labor certifications, H-2A, H-2B, or other visa class disclosures.
How many records can I collect in one run?	You can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 disclosures. The actual number collected depends on how many records match your filters on the source site.
Can I schedule this Actor to run weekly?	Yes. Once you have configured the input, you can set a schedule in the Apify console to run it automatically and receive the updated dataset.
