## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Dice Jobs Scraper

**Scrape Dice.com jobs by keyword and location.** Get title, company, salary, skills, location, description, job URL and posting date. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API. **$0.50 per 1,000 jobs, no start fee.**

Scrape US tech jobs from **Dice.com** the way you search on the website: keywords, location, distance and every Dice filter. Get the title, company, location, workplace type, employment type, **salary as numbers**, **skills**, full description, posting and expiry dates and the job link. Dice shows at most 750 jobs per search; this scraper splits big searches and **gets them all**. Run it on a schedule to get **only new jobs**. No browser, no login.

### What can this Dice scraper do?

- 🔎 **Search like on dice.com**: keywords, location and radius, or paste any dice.com search link with its filters.
- 🎛️ **All Dice filters**: remote, hybrid or on-site; full-time, part-time, contract or third party; posted today, in 3 or 7 days; direct hire or recruiter; Easy Apply; visa sponsorship.
- ♾️ **Beyond 750 results**: big searches are split by employer and employment type and merged without duplicates.
- 💰 **Salary as numbers**: "$$68 - $68.25 per hour" becomes `{ "min": 68, "max": 68.25, "currency": "USD", "interval": "hour" }`.
- 🧠 **Skills** listed on each job, such as Python, Apache Kafka or AWS.
- 🆕 **Only new jobs since the last run**: for job alerts, recruiting pipelines and market monitoring.
- 🧩 **Same output as our other job scrapers**, listed at the end of this page, so jobs from company career sites and job boards fit into one table.

3. Click **Start**. Download the jobs as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or get them through the API.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["python developer", "data engineer"],
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "radius": 50,
  "workplaceTypes": ["Remote", "Hybrid"],
  "employmentTypes": ["FULLTIME"],
  "postedDate": "SEVEN",
  "onlyWithSalary": true
}
```

### Use cases

- **Tech recruiting and staffing**: see every new contract and full-time role for your stack, every morning.
- **Job alerts and niche job boards**: publish fresh tech jobs by skill, city or remote status.
- **Sales and lead generation**: companies hiring for a technology are buying tools and services around it.
- **Salary and skills research**: compare rates and pay ranges by skill, location and contract type.
- **Labor market analytics**: track demand for skills such as Python, Kafka or Kubernetes over time.

### How much does it cost?

You pay only for the jobs you get: **$0.50 per 1,000 jobs**. There is no start fee. Jobs filtered out by your settings are free. The Apify free plan covers about 10,000 jobs every month.

### Tips

- **Daily job alerts**: save your input as a task, turn on **Only new jobs since the last run** and add a schedule. Send new jobs to Slack, email or Google Sheets with Apify integrations.
- **Fast lists**: turn off **Load full job details** to skip the job pages. You still get title, company, location, salary, dates and a short summary.
- **Stricter results**: Dice searches job descriptions too. Use **Title must contain** to keep only jobs with your keyword in the title.
- **Errors per search**: see the `SUMMARY` record in the run's key-value store.

### FAQ

**Why do some jobs have no salary?** Many listings say "Depends on Experience". When a rate or range is given, it is parsed into numbers; `salary.text` keeps the original wording.

**Does it collect recruiter contact details?** No. It saves the job listing and the company, not the names, emails or phone numbers of recruiters.

**Is it legal to scrape Dice?** The Actor reads the public job listings Dice shows to every visitor. Check the terms that apply to your use case.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

What to search, for example <code>python developer</code> or <code>data engineer</code>. Each line is a separate search with the filters below. You can also paste a dice.com search link; its own filters are used.

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

City, state or ZIP code, for example <code>New York, NY</code> or <code>Austin, TX</code>. Leave empty to search the whole US.

## `radius` (type: `integer`):

Search radius around the location. Leave empty for the Dice default.

## `workplaceTypes` (type: `array`):

Leave empty for all.

## `employmentTypes` (type: `array`):

Leave empty for all.

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

How recent the jobs are.

## `employerTypes` (type: `array`):

Direct employers, recruiters or both. Leave empty for all.

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

Only jobs you can apply to directly on Dice.

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

Only jobs whose employer is willing to sponsor a work visa.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Skip jobs whose title contains any of these, for example <code>intern</code> or <code>senior</code>. Common word endings are included.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose title contains any of these words or phrases. Dice searches descriptions too, so this makes results stricter. Add <code>*</code> for any ending: <code>data*</code>.

## `onlyWithSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that state a pay range or rate.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

For scheduled runs: save only jobs that were not seen in earlier runs of the same saved task. The first run saves all current jobs and remembers them. Jobs that did not match your filters are remembered too.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Open each job page for the full description (text and HTML), skills and expiry date. Turn off for fast results with a short summary instead.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after saving this many jobs. Leave empty or 0 for no limit. The example is kept small so the first run takes seconds.

## `maxItemsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Save at most this many jobs from each search. Leave empty or 0 for no limit.

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

The Actor connects directly, which is fastest. If Dice starts limiting requests, it switches to Apify Proxy automatically. Turn on a proxy here only to use it from the start.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
