## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Dice.com Jobs Scraper

Turn any [Dice.com](https://www.dice.com/) job search into clean, structured data. Give the
scraper your keywords, a location and a handful of filters, and it walks every result page and
returns one rich record per job — ready for a spreadsheet, a database or your own hiring pipeline.

Built with Crawlee + Puppeteer for reliable, headful-Chrome scraping, and priced **pay-per-event**:
you are charged only for the jobs actually delivered.

### Features

- Search by **keywords** and **location** (or leave both blank to browse everything).
- Filter by **posted date**, **employment type**, **employer type** and **workplace type**.
- Toggle **Easy Apply** and **Willing to sponsor** filters.
- **Automatic pagination** across the whole result set.
- Hard **limit** on the number of jobs collected, so runs stay predictable.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Keywords to match in job titles/descriptions. Aliases: `keywords`, `searchQuery`. |
| `location` | string | City, state or ZIP code (e.g. `New York, NY`). |
| `postedDate` | string | `Any Date`, `Today`, `Last 3 Days` or `Last 7 Days`. |
| `limit` | integer | Maximum jobs to collect (default `100`). Aliases: `maxItems`, `maxJobs`. |
| `FULLTIME`, `PARTTIME`, `CONTRACTS`, `THIRD_PARTY` | boolean | Employment-type filters. |
| `Direct Hire`, `Recruiter`, `Other` | boolean | Employer-type filters. |
| `On-Site`, `Remote`, `Hybrid` | boolean | Workplace-type filters. |
| `easyApply` | boolean | Only Dice Easy Apply jobs. |
| `willingToSponsor` | boolean | Only jobs where the employer will sponsor work authorization. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (Apify Proxy is on by default). |

If both `query` and `location` are empty, the scraper performs a general search across all jobs.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "query": "Software Engineer",
    "location": "Remote",
    "postedDate": "Last 7 Days",
    "Remote": true,
    "FULLTIME": true,
    "limit": 200
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item is a single job listing with the following fields:

```json
{
    "id": "job-id",
    "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
    "jobLocation": { "city": "New York", "state": "NY", "country": "US" },
    "postedDate": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "detailsPageUrl": "https://www.dice.com/job-detail/...",
    "companyPageUrl": "https://www.dice.com/company/...",
    "companyLogoUrl": "https://...",
    "companyLogoUrlOptimized": "https://...",
    "salary": "$120,000 - $150,000",
    "clientBrandId": "brand-id",
    "companyName": "Acme Corp",
    "employmentType": "FULLTIME",
    "summary": "Job summary text...",
    "jobId": "job-id",
    "score": 0.98,
    "easyApply": true,
    "willingToSponsor": false,
    "employerType": "Direct Hire",
    "workFromHomeAvailability": "REMOTE",
    "isRemote": true,
    "modifiedDate": "2025-01-02T00:00:00Z",
    "guid": "job-guid",
    "workplaceTypes": ["Remote"],
    "isFeatured": false
}
```

### Pricing — pay per event

This actor bills a single event, **`job-scraped`**, charged once for every job delivered to the
dataset. There are no charges for pages that return no jobs, and the run stops as soon as your
`limit` (or your pay-per-event budget) is reached — so you never pay for more than you asked for.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Keywords to match against job titles and descriptions, e.g. "Software Engineer" or "Data Analyst". Leave both keywords and location empty to browse all jobs.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, state or ZIP code to search in, e.g. "New York, NY" or "Remote".

## `postedDate` (type: `string`):

Only return jobs posted within this window.

## `limit` (type: `integer`):

Upper bound on the number of job listings to collect across all result pages. Start small (25–50) to validate your filters, then raise it.

## `FULLTIME` (type: `boolean`):

Include full-time positions.

## `PARTTIME` (type: `boolean`):

Include part-time positions.

## `CONTRACTS` (type: `boolean`):

Include contract positions.

## `THIRD_PARTY` (type: `boolean`):

Include third-party positions.

## `Direct Hire` (type: `boolean`):

Include jobs posted directly by the hiring employer.

## `Recruiter` (type: `boolean`):

Include jobs posted by recruiters.

## `Other` (type: `boolean`):

Include jobs from other employer types.

## `On-Site` (type: `boolean`):

Include on-site positions.

## `Remote` (type: `boolean`):

Include remote positions.

## `Hybrid` (type: `boolean`):

Include hybrid positions.

## `easyApply` (type: `boolean`):

Only return jobs that support Dice Easy Apply.

## `willingToSponsor` (type: `boolean`):

Only return jobs where the employer is willing to sponsor work authorization.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy applied to every request. Keeping Apify Proxy on reduces blocking. Disabling proxy routes all traffic through a single IP, which Dice.com may block.
