Wellfound Jobs Scraper — startup jobs with salary, equity and company stage

Scrape Wellfound startup jobs (ex-AngelList Talent) by role and city or remote, and get one clean row per job: title, company, company stage, size and badges (Top Investors, YC Funded…), salary range, equity range, job type, remote policy, locations, years of experience, full description and posting date. $0.50 per 1,000 jobs. No browser, no login, no proxy needed.

Quick start

Minimal input:

{
    "roles": ["software-engineer"],
    "location": ["san-francisco"],
    "maxResults": 30
}

Several roles and cities, filters, job pages for company website and HTML description:

{
    "roles": ["software-engineer", "product-manager"],
    "location": ["london", "berlin"],
    "jobType": "fulltime",
    "salaryMin": 80000,
    "enrichDetail": true,
    "maxResults": 500
}

Remote jobs: {"roles": ["data-scientist"], "remote": true}. Or paste search URLs: {"searchUrls": ["https://wellfound.com/role/l/product-manager/berlin"]}.

Compatible with the input of blackfalcondata/wellfound-scraper, so you can switch by changing only the Actor ID: query, roles, searchUrls, startUrls, location, excludeLocations, remote, jobType, experienceLevel, salaryMin, salaryMax, equityMin, visaSponsorship, includeCompanies, excludeCompanies, fromDate, toDate, maxAgeMinutes, maxResults, maxPages, enrichDetail, descriptionFormat, descriptionMaxLength, compact, excludeEmptyFields, proxyConfiguration work as they are. Its output field names are kept too (id, title, detailUrl, companyName, companySize, companyStage, companyBadges, compensation, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryEquityMin, hasEquity, jobType, locationNames, remote, postedAt, atsSource…). Notification fields (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, webhooks), radius search, incremental mode and company-only mode are ignored with a warning; use Apify schedules and integrations instead. enrichEmails is refused: this Actor returns company data only, never people's contact details.

Input

Field	Type	Description

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0005 per job saved ($0.50 per 1,000), the same with or without enrichDetail. Duplicates and filtered-out jobs are not saved and not charged. Set maxResults (or a maximum cost per run) to control the total. No platform usage is added on top.

Limits

• Wellfound search pages list companies with their highlighted jobs (about 40 jobs per page, up to the page count Wellfound shows). A company with many openings may show only its first jobs in a search; use narrower roles or locations to reach more.
• A free-text query is searched as the Wellfound role category with the same name. If no such category exists, the run says so; use a role slug instead.
• Requests are spaced (about 1.5 s) and sent one at a time. If Wellfound answers with a challenge page, the run stops cleanly with what it has and says so in the status message; retry later or set a proxy.
• Jobs and company descriptions come from Wellfound and belong to the companies that posted them. No recruiter or founder profiles are collected.
