Dice Jobs Scraper: Extract US Tech Jobs from Dice.com (Job Postings API)

Dice Jobs Scraper pulls tech job listings from Dice (dice.com), the US job board for software, data, cloud, security and IT roles. It returns clean, structured job data: title, company, location, remote/hybrid/on-site flags, employment type, parsed salary, posting and expiry dates, full description, skills, contract terms, Easy Apply and visa-sponsorship flags, and the job and apply links.

It reads the same JSON search API that dice.com uses, so it is fast, cheap and reliable: no login, no browser, and no proxy by default. You only pay for the jobs you get.

Search by keywords, location and Dice's own filters, or paste search URLs straight from your browser. Turn on Only new jobs and schedule it to get just the jobs posted since the last run.

What can this Dice scraper do?

• 🔎 Search like on dice.com. Keywords (Dice's boolean syntax works), US location and radius, remote / hybrid / on-site, employment type (full-time, contract, part-time, third party, internship), posted today / last 3 days / last 7 days, Easy Apply only, willing to sponsor only, and employer type (direct hire / recruiter).
• 🔗 Paste search URLs. Set up a search on dice.com and paste the address. Keywords, location, radius and every filter are read from the URL. Several URLs run as separate searches in one run, de-duplicated.
• 📄 Full job details. The full description as HTML and clean plain text, the skills list, the employer's position ID, contract types (W2, corp-to-corp, independent) and duration, the employer's own apply link, postal code and the posting's expiry date.
• 💵 Parsed salaries. Dice's free-text pay field ("USD 140,000.00 - 160,000.00 per year", "$60 - $70 per hour", "$62", "85+") becomes min, max, currency and interval. When the listing has no amount, the scraper looks for a pay range in the description.
• 🏠 Clear remote flags. isRemote, a normalised workplaceType (remote / hybrid / onsite) and Dice's raw work settings, e.g. ["Remote", "On-Site"].
• 🔁 Incremental monitoring. Turn on Only new jobs and schedule the Actor. Each run outputs, and charges for, only jobs that were not seen before.
• 🧩 Same schema as our other jobs Actors. id, company, title, location, isRemote, workplaceType, employmentType, salary{min,max,currency,interval,text,source}, postedAt, jobUrl, applyUrl, descriptionText and descriptionHtml match our ATS Jobs Scraper, so you can merge the datasets.
• 🛡️ Built for reliability. Retries with backoff on rate limits and server errors. If Dice's API key changes, the scraper reads the current one from dice.com at runtime, and if the API refuses requests it falls back to Dice's search pages. If Dice blocks the run, it stops with a clear message instead of crashing.
• 💸 Pay per job. No start fee from us, no subscription.

Using Dice search URLs

Set up the search on dice.com with all the filters you want, then copy the address bar:

https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=devops&location=Denver,%20CO,%20USA&radius=50&filters.employmentType=CONTRACTS%7CTHIRD_PARTY&filters.postedDate=SEVEN
https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=python&filters.workplaceTypes=Remote&filters.easyApply=true
https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=java&location=Seattle,%20WA&filters.willingToSponsor=true

Supported: keywords, location (including the latitude/longitude Dice adds), radius, work setting, employment type, employer type, posted date, Easy Apply, willing to sponsor and the company filter. Single job pages (/job-detail/...), company pages and old-style URLs (/jobs/q-python-l-...) are rejected with a message that says what to paste instead.

Notes on the fields:

• id (dice:{guid}) is stable across runs. Use it to de-duplicate.
• salary.source is dice when the numbers come from Dice's pay field and description when they were found in the description text. If the listing gives no interval ("$65 - $67"), the scraper takes it from the job page ("$65 - $67/hr") or, failing that, infers it from the amount: up to 500 is hourly, 10,000 or more is yearly, anything in between stays null. Text without numbers ("Depends on Experience") is kept in salary.text with null amounts. Currency defaults to USD when the text has none, because Dice only lists US jobs.
• isRemote is true when remote work is possible, including jobs listed as "Remote or On-Site". workplaceType is remote if remote is possible, else hybrid, else onsite. workplaceTypes keeps Dice's raw values, and workSetting is the badge shown on the job page.
• employmentType is normalised from the first Dice type. "Third Party" is reported as isThirdParty, and a job listed only as "Third Party" has employmentType: null. employmentTypes keeps Dice's raw values.
• location is "Remote" for remote jobs that Dice lists without a location.
• applyUrl is the employer's own application page for jobs that apply externally (DoubleClick tracking wrappers are removed; other tracking links are kept as Dice gives them). For Easy Apply and "apply by e-mail" jobs it is the Dice job page. applyType is external or email.
• The fields that come from the job page (descriptionText, descriptionHtml, skills, positionId, contractTypes, contractDuration, workSetting, postalCode, validThrough, applyType) are only filled with Include full description on. detailsFetched tells you whether the job page was read.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store lists, for every search: jobs output, jobs listed, already-seen jobs, total results reported by Dice, the route used (API or website), request counts and any warnings.

What this scraper does not collect

Only the public job listing and the company name. It never collects recruiters' or hiring managers' names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. For "apply by e-mail" jobs it reports applyType: "email" and links to the Dice job page; the address itself is not read into the output. In testing, the description text Dice publishes had contact details already removed, and none of the test output contained an e-mail address or phone number.

How much does it cost to scrape Dice jobs?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per job that appears in your dataset, and there is no start fee from us.

Your Apify plan	Price per job	1,000 jobs
Free	$0.0015	$1.50
Starter	$0.0012	$1.20
Scale	$0.0010	$1.00
Business	$0.0009	$0.90

Jobs that are already seen in incremental mode, duplicates across your searches, expired jobs and failed searches cost nothing. Your Apify plan's free monthly credit applies. To cap spending, set Maximum cost per run in the run options. The scraper stops cleanly when the budget is reached and says so in the status message.

Scheduling and incremental monitoring of new jobs

Use this to get alerts for new Dice jobs, or to keep a job board or spreadsheet in sync:

1. Turn on Only new jobs and give the monitor a name in Monitor name (e.g. python-remote).
2. Save the configuration as a Task and add a Schedule (e.g. every morning).
3. The first run outputs all current matching jobs (up to Max jobs per search) and saves them as the baseline.
4. Every later run reads results newest first and outputs only jobs that appeared since. It stops paging after 200 already-seen jobs in a row, so a daily run usually costs one or two search requests plus the new jobs.

The memory is kept in a named key-value store (dice-jobs-scraper-state by default) under the monitor name, and is shared by all searches in the run, so a job matching two of your searches is output and charged once. If you set Max jobs per search on the first run, later runs also pick up older matching jobs that the first run left out, up to the limit each time. To get only genuinely new postings, do the first run with a limit high enough to cover the search. Don't run two runs with the same monitor name at the same time.

Limits

• 10,000 results per search. Dice does not serve results beyond the first 10,000 of a search. The log and RUN_SUMMARY say when a search is larger; split it with filters, locations or posted date to reach the rest.
• US only. Dice lists US jobs. All amounts default to USD.
• Datacenter IPs. Testing so far was done from a residential connection. Dice may treat Apify's datacenter IPs differently, especially on job pages. If Dice blocks requests (HTTP 403, repeated 429, or a bot-check page), the run stops with a message that says so, keeps the jobs already saved, and suggests a proxy. If that happens, enable Proxy configuration (residential works best), lower Max requests per second, or turn off Include full description to use only the search API.
• Fallback route. If Dice's search API stops accepting its public key, the scraper reads the current key from dice.com. If that fails too, it falls back to Dice's search pages, which return 30 jobs per page and only sort by relevance. The run still works, more slowly.
• Single job URLs (/job-detail/...) are not supported as input. Paste a search URL.
• Unofficial interface. Dice has no public API for job seekers. This Actor uses the endpoints dice.com itself uses, which Dice can change without notice. The parsing is covered by tests against saved pages, and failures are reported clearly.

Integrations and API

• API. Start runs and fetch results with the Apify API, or the JavaScript and Python clients:

  curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rjmacarthy~dice-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"keywords":"python","workplaceTypes":["remote"],"maxJobs":50}'
  

• Webhooks. Get notified (or trigger your pipeline) when a run finishes.

• Zapier, Make, n8n. Send new jobs to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, e-mail or your CRM with no code.

• Google Sheets, Slack, Airbyte, Keboola and more through Apify integrations.

• AI agents. Use the Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a Dice account, login, cookies or a proxy? No. Dice job listings are public. The proxy option is there in case Dice blocks requests from Apify's servers.

How fast is it? Listing-only runs fetch 100 jobs per request: 250 jobs took 3 seconds in testing. With full descriptions, each job needs one job-page request, so speed is capped by Max requests per second (default 4, so at most about 4 jobs per second).

Why is salary null or without amounts? Many Dice employers leave the pay field empty or write text such as "Depends on Experience" or "Compensation information provided in the description". With Include full description on, the scraper then looks for a pay range in the description.

Why do I get remote jobs from other states when I set a location? That is Dice's default behaviour. Turn off Include remote jobs from anywhere in the US to keep only jobs in or near your location.

Can I scrape more than 10,000 jobs? Not from one search: Dice stops there. Split the search into several (by location, employment type, posted date and so on) and paste them as separate URLs. Jobs found by more than one search are output once.

Is scraping Dice legal? The scraper only collects job postings that employers publish publicly to attract applicants, and no personal contact data. Always check that your use complies with Dice's terms and the laws that apply to you.
