Lever Jobs API & Scraper

Lever Jobs API & Scraper is a REST API on the Apify platform: one request returns every open job from a company's Lever job board, with the same fields as the other job board Actors, as JSON, CSV or Excel. You can also run it from a form in the Apify Console, without code.

What is Lever Jobs API & Scraper?

Lever Jobs API & Scraper exports every open job from companies that hire with Lever. It reads Lever's official public job board API and returns one clean record per job: title, location, workplace type, employment type, department, salary range when the company publishes one, the full description and the apply link. Give it Lever job board URLs or just the board names. You don't need a Lever account, an API key or a browser, so it is a Lever jobs scraper that doesn't break when a careers page changes.

Use cases

• Pull every open role from many Lever-hosted career pages into one dataset
• Monitor which companies are hiring for which roles, and where
• Salary benchmarking from published pay ranges
• Feed fresh job data into job boards, CRMs and AI pipelines

Why use Lever Jobs API & Scraper?

• Reads Lever's official public job-board API: complete and current data, no HTML parsing, no browser
• Every open role of a company in one request: title, location, department, salary range when published, full description
• Many companies per run: paste board URLs or just the board names
• Keyword, location, department and remote filters run before billing: you pay only for the jobs you keep
• Clean JSON with the same fields for Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby boards
• Pay only per result: no monthly rental, no minimums

What data can you get from Lever job boards?

Each job comes back with 27 fields, listed under Output fields with how often each one is filled. Companies choose what they publish, and salary varies most. On 2026-11-05, 33.1% of 2,279 jobs across 6 Lever boards had a published salary range, from 0% at Veeva to 93.4% at Zoox.

Can I use the free Lever Postings API instead?

Yes, and for one board you read once, you may not need this Actor. The Lever Postings API is free and needs no key:

$curl -s "https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/zoox?mode=json"

Here is what Lever Jobs API & Scraper adds on top of it:

• Salary parsing: salaryRange uses intervals like per-year-salary. The Actor returns salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryUnit and salaryText.
• One description: the text is split across descriptionPlain, lists and additionalPlain. The Actor joins them into one plain-text description.
• Company name: the API doesn't publish it. The Actor reads it from the job board page when that page is reachable.
• ISO dates: createdAt is in epoch milliseconds. The Actor returns ISO 8601.
• One format across platforms: Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby jobs share the same fields, so they fit one table without per-platform mapping.
• Many boards in one run: filters run before billing, and a board that fails gets a free error item while the others carry on.
• No code to run: start it from a form, export JSON, CSV or Excel, and use Apify's schedules, webhooks and integrations.

Lever jobs API

Every Apify Actor is also a REST endpoint, so Lever Jobs API & Scraper works as a Lever jobs API, a Lever postings API or an ATS jobs API, without a server of your own. One POST starts a run, waits for it and returns the results:

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rocketyard~lever-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items

Send your Apify API token in the Authorization header and the input as the JSON body. Add ?format=csv or ?format=xlsx to get CSV or Excel instead of JSON. The request waits up to 300 seconds; for a longer run, start it with POST /v2/acts/rocketyard~lever-jobs-scraper/runs and read the dataset when it finishes. The Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby Actors share one output format, so together they give you one ATS jobs API across the three platforms.

How to scrape Lever jobs

1. Click Try for free.
2. Add job boards to Job board URLs (for example https://jobs.lever.co/zoox), or board names to Job board names (for example zoox).
3. Optionally keep only the jobs you need with Keyword in job title, Location, Department or Remote jobs only. Filters run before billing.
4. Click Start, then download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

How do I find a company's Lever board name?

Open the company's careers page and click a job. If the address starts with jobs.lever.co/<name>, <name> is the board name. Boards hosted in the EU use jobs.eu.lever.co/<name>: paste that URL into Job board URLs and the Actor reads Lever's EU API.

Input

Field	JSON key	What it does
Job board URLs	startUrls	Lever job boards to export, one per company, e.g. https://jobs.lever.co/zoox. A job page or an API URL of a board also works: the whole board is read. Leave empty if you fill in Job board names.
Job board names	companies	Board names as they appear in the job board URL, e.g. "zoox" for https://jobs.lever.co/zoox. Use instead of, or together with, Job board URLs. A name without a public board returns a free error item.
Keyword in job title	keyword	Keep only jobs whose title contains this text, in any letter case. Separate alternatives with commas, e.g. engineer, designer. Jobs filtered out are not charged.
Location	location	Keep only jobs whose location contains this text, in any letter case, e.g. London. Separate alternatives with commas, e.g. London, Remote.
Department	department	Keep only jobs whose department or team contains this text, in any letter case, e.g. Engineering. Separate alternatives with commas.
Remote jobs only	remoteOnly	Keep only jobs the company marks as remote. Jobs that do not state a workplace type are left out, so this can miss remote jobs on boards that rarely state it.
Max results	maxItems	Stop after this many jobs in total, across all job boards. This also caps what the run can charge for results.
Max results per job board	maxItemsPerBoard	Optional: keep at most this many jobs from each job board, for example to sample many companies. Empty means no limit.
Max concurrency	maxConcurrency	Job boards fetched in parallel. A polite delay between requests to the same host always applies.
Proxy configuration	proxyConfiguration	Optional. Lever's public job-board API needs no proxy, so leave this empty unless your runs are blocked.

"Filled" is the share of jobs with a value, measured through this Actor's mapping on 6 Lever boards on 2026-11-05 (2,279 open jobs). Companies decide what they publish, so your boards can differ. A field without a value comes back as null, never guessed. Lever's API doesn't publish the company name, so company is read from the job board page, and it stays empty when that page isn't reachable.

Limits

• Only companies whose careers pages are hosted on Lever, with a public job board. The Actor reads the boards you name; it doesn't discover companies.
• Each run returns the roles open right now. Closed jobs leave the board, so the Actor keeps no history: to track changes, schedule it and compare runs by jobId.
• The keyword filter reads the job title, not the description.

Error items

When an input produces no data, the dataset gets one error item for it, so nothing is skipped silently. Error items are free: only result records are charged.

{
  "url": "https://jobs.lever.co/no-such-board",
  "input": "https://jobs.lever.co/no-such-board",
  "error": {
    "type": "https://rocketyard.dev/errors#not-found",
    "title": "Not found",
    "status": 404,
    "detail": "HTTP 404 (no public Lever job board named \"no-such-board\")",
    "instance": "https://jobs.lever.co/no-such-board",
    "code": "NOT_FOUND"
  }
}

The error object follows RFC 9457 (Problem Details). Its type links to the explanation of the code, and status is the site's HTTP status when there was one. Filter on error.code to separate failures from data; it has its own column in CSV and Excel exports.

Code	Meaning	Retry?
ROBOTS_DISALLOWED	The site's robots.txt does not allow automated access to this URL (or to the page it redirects to), so it was not fetched.	no
ROBOTS_UNREACHABLE	The site's robots.txt could not be loaded because of a server or network error. Under RFC 9309, the page is then not fetched.	yes
PRIVATE_ADDRESS	The URL, or a redirect from it, points to a private or local network address. Only public websites are fetched.	no
NOT_FOUND	The page or source does not exist (HTTP 404 or 410).	no
BLOCKED	The site refused access (HTTP 401, 403 or 429) or answered with a bot-check or consent page instead of the content.	sometimes
HTTP_ERROR	The site answered with another HTTP error: a server error (5xx) that persisted after retries, or an unexpected 4xx status.	sometimes
TIMEOUT	The site did not answer in time, even after retries.	yes
NETWORK_ERROR	The connection failed (DNS, TLS or a reset connection), even after retries.	yes
WRONG_CONTENT_TYPE	The URL returned something the Actor doesn't read, such as a PDF or image instead of an HTML page, or a web page where an API response was expected.	no
TOO_LARGE	The response exceeded the size limit (10 MiB for web pages, 48 MiB for API responses).	no
PARSE_ERROR	The response could not be read (malformed HTML or JSON).	sometimes
EMPTY	The source has nothing to return right now: a list with no open items, a store or collection with no products, a search with no results, or a web page whose HTML has no readable text (often a page built only by JavaScript in the browser).	no
NO_MATCHES	The source has items, but none of them matched your filters.	no

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.75 per 1,000 jobs, plus a tiny per-run start fee. Jobs removed by your filters are free. There is no monthly rental, and you can cap spend per run with Max results or Maximum cost per run. At that price, exporting every job from the boards we measured costs from $0.06 (Spotify, 86 jobs) to $0.66 (Veeva, 875 jobs).

Integrations and API

• Schedule: an Apify schedule runs it daily or weekly. Each run returns every open role, so compare runs by jobId to see new and closed ones.
• Webhooks: an Apify webhook calls your URL when a run finishes, with the run's dataset ID in the payload.
• Make: the Apify app's Run an Actor and Get Dataset Items modules, then any Make app, such as Google Sheets. Steps.
• Zapier: the Finished Actor run trigger and the Fetch dataset items search. Zapier stops synchronous runs after 30 seconds, so use the trigger for anything larger than a small run. Steps.
• n8n: Apify's community node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify) or an HTTP Request node. Workflow to copy.
• Code: the Apify API and the JavaScript and Python clients. Examples.
• AI agents: Apify's MCP server exposes it as a tool to any MCP client. Setup.

FAQ

How much does it cost? You pay per result: $0.75 per 1,000 jobs, plus a start fee of $0.00005 per run, with no subscription. Cap any run with Maximum cost per run.

Your Apify plan sets your discount tier (Platinum and Diamond are enterprise tiers):

Tier	Per 1,000 jobs
Free	$0.75
Bronze	$0.75
Silver	$0.60
Gold	$0.49

Diamond	$0.49

How do I call it from the API? One request starts a run and returns its results, using your Apify API token:

$curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rocketyard~lever-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://jobs.lever.co/zoox"}],"maxItems":100}'

How do I use it with AI agents? Connect Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com?tools=rocketyard/lever-jobs-scraper, and the agent can call this Actor as a tool.

Which companies does it work on? Any company whose careers page is hosted on Lever, with URLs like https://jobs.lever.co/zoox. The board name is the part after the domain (zoox). Job page and API URLs of a board work too.

Where does the data come from? From Lever's official public job-board API (documentation), the same feed companies use to show their openings on their own websites. No login, no browser, and robots.txt is respected.

Does it include salaries? Yes, when the company publishes a pay range on the posting: salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryUnit and salaryText. Postings without a published range have these fields empty.

Is it legal to scrape Lever jobs? The Actor reads only job postings that companies publish for anyone to see, through Lever's public API, honours robots.txt, and returns no data about applicants or recruiters. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and terms (for example GDPR) for how you use the data.

What happens when a board fails? If a board can't be read, doesn't exist, has no open jobs or has none matching your filters, the dataset gets one error item for it with a code and the reason, and you are not charged for it. The other boards in the run carry on.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads the live job board, so you get the roles that are open right now.

I need another applicant tracking system or a field. Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Requests are reviewed regularly and drive new features.
