Dice Jobs Scraper & API: C2C, W2 & Recruiter Emails

Dice Jobs Scraper & API: C2C, W2, 1099 and Recruiter Emails

Scrape Dice jobs (dice.com, the US tech job board) to Excel, CSV or JSON without login, with the data Dice keeps inside each job. What sets it apart:

• C2C, W2 or 1099 on every job, and a filter on it. Recruiters set the tax terms of a contract job on Dice (Corp-to-Corp, W2, 1099 independent), but Dice's search has no filter for them and other scrapers do not return them. Here every row has contractTypes, isC2C, isW2, is1099, and Contract type keeps only the jobs you can take. In our test of 100 new jobs, 80 were contracts: 36 accept C2C, 75 W2, 29 1099.
• The recruiter's apply email. Most contract jobs on Dice take applications by email: applyEmail holds the recruiter's or vendor's address (93 of 100 jobs in our test), or applyUrl the employer's own apply page. Only jobs with an apply email keeps those. No extra charge, no guessing from company websites.
• Contract details: term ("12 Months"), contract to hire, travel percent, visa sponsorship (H1B), hybrid office days ("3 days onsite"), employer or staffing firm.
• Reposts exposed. Dice shows the latest posting date; this Actor adds the first posting date (firstPostedDate, isRepost). In a "python, New York" search, 13 of the first 30 jobs were old jobs reposted. Skip reposted jobs drops them.
• Pay in numbers: hourly rates and salaries as min / max, and per year (hourly × 2,080), with a minimum yearly pay filter.
• Big and fast: 1,000 jobs a request (other scrapers read 20-100), up to 10,000 per search (Dice's limit; bigger searches are split by employment type), newest first, posted within 24 hours, 3 days, a week, 2 weeks or a month. $0.80 per 1,000 jobs.
• Job alerts. Schedule it and get only the jobs you have not seen, e.g. every new C2C Java job with an email, each hour.

How it works

Step	What happens
1. Searches	Each keyword × location, and your Dice search links. Dice applies its own filters (employment type, workplace, date, employer type, Easy Apply, visa sponsorship); 1,000 jobs a request, relevance or newest first
2. Job data	For each job: Dice's full job record (contract type, term, apply email, travel, first posting date, skills, description)
3. Filters and clean-up	Contract type, apply email, reposts, travel, pay, title words, companies; closed jobs and copies are dropped. Removed jobs and jobs seen by a job alert are not charged

FAQ

What do W2, C2C and 1099 mean? They are the tax terms of a US contract. W2: you are on the payroll of the staffing firm. C2C (Corp-to-Corp): your own company (or your employer's) bills the staffing firm; this is how most H1B consultants and bench sales teams work. 1099: you work as an independent contractor. A job can accept several. The recruiter sets them on Dice; the Actor reads them for every job.

Where does the apply email come from? From the job itself: many contract jobs on Dice are set to "apply by email", and the address is part of the posting. Jobs that send candidates to the employer's site have applyUrl instead.

Why do some jobs have no contract type? Full-time (direct hire) jobs have none; contractTypes is empty and isC2C is false. Contract type filters keep contract and third-party jobs only.

Can I get more than 10,000 jobs? Dice shows at most 10,000 jobs for one search. The Actor splits bigger searches by employment type automatically; for the whole board use several keywords or locations.

Which locations work? Any US city, state or ZIP code Dice understands ("New York, NY", "Austin, TX", "Texas", "94105") and "Remote". The log shows how Dice read each place. Radius defaults to 30 miles.

Do I need a Dice account? No. Only job data any visitor can open is read. Candidate data is not collected.

Is it legal?

The Actor reads public Dice job data that anyone can open without an account, as a visitor does. It does not log in or collect candidate profiles. Apply emails are the business contacts recruiters publish for applications; use them for job applications and according to the laws that apply to you (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CCPA and similar) and Dice's terms.
