Wellfound Jobs Scraper: Startup Salary, Equity & Visa Jobs

Wellfound Jobs Scraper & API: Startup Salary, Equity and Visa Jobs

Scrape Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) startup jobs to Excel, CSV or JSON without login. Every job comes with its salary and equity as numbers and the startup behind it. What sets it apart:

• Salary and equity as numbers. "$120k – $200k • 0.01% – 0.15%" becomes salaryYearlyMin, salaryYearlyMax, salaryCurrency, equityMin, equityMax. Filter by minimum salary or minimum equity.
• Startup signals on every job, free: stage (early, growth, scale, public), size, Y Combinator, top investors, valuation $500M+ / $1B+, growing fast, Glassdoor ratings.
• How fast the startup replies to applicants: "Responds within a day", "within a week", top 1% of responders. Keep only startups that answer.
• Visa sponsorship, relocation, skills and funding from each job page (optional): total raised, number of rounds, last round and its date.
• Job alerts, no reposts. Schedule it and get only the jobs you have not seen.

What you get

One row per job. Real example, September 2026 (software engineer, United States):

job	startup	location	salary and equity	stage	replies	YC
Senior Software Engineer	Confident LIMS	San Francisco Bay Area	$100k – $180k • 0.05% – 0.25%	Early stage	within a day	✅

Software Engineer - Fullstack	Nextdoor	Dallas	$135k – $200k	Public

In our test of 100 US software engineer jobs (September 2026) 98 had a pay range, 13 offered equity (10 more said "no equity"), 81 had the startup's stage, 49 were backed by top investors, 31 were YC startups and 30 showed how fast the startup replies.

How it works

Step	What happens
1. Search	Each role in each location (or your pasted Wellfound links), page by page: 20 startups per page with up to 3 jobs each
2. Filters	Date posted, job type, salary, equity, experience, stage, size, YC, investors, valuation, reply time, title words, companies. Jobs removed here are not charged
3. Job pages	Only if you ask: visa sponsorship, relocation, skills, funding. Visa and relocation filters apply after the page is read; jobs that fail them are not charged
4. Clean-up	The same job found by several searches appears once; reposts (same title, startup and place) are skipped
5. Job alerts	With Only new jobs on, jobs from earlier runs are skipped and not charged

FAQ

Does Wellfound have an API? Not a public one for job search: the old AngelList API is closed. This Actor reads the job pages Wellfound shows to any visitor and returns them as JSON through the Apify API.

Which roles and locations work? The ones Wellfound has job pages for: roles like "software engineer", "product manager", "data scientist", "designer", "marketing", "sales", "devops engineer"; places like "San Francisco", "New York", "London", "Berlin", "Bangalore", "India", "Europe", "United States", and "Remote". You can also paste any wellfound.com/role/... or /location/... link.

How many jobs per search? Wellfound lists up to 89 pages of 20 startups for a search, with up to 3 jobs of each startup per page: about 4 000 jobs for a big role. For more, add locations or roles.

How is equity shown? As Wellfound posts it: a range in % of the company ("0.05% – 0.25%"). hasEquity is false when the job says "No equity" and empty when it says nothing.

What does "replies within a week" mean? Wellfound measures how fast each startup answers applications and shows it as a badge. Startups without the badge are skipped by the filter.

Do I need a Wellfound account? No. Only pages any visitor can open are read.

Use with the API and AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python client, n8n, Make or Zapier, or from AI agents through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). One call: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/s_actors~wellfound-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items with the input above returns the jobs as JSON. Set Job description to "None" for smaller answers.

Is it legal?

The Actor reads public Wellfound job listings that anyone can open without an account, as a visitor does. It does not log in or collect personal profiles. Use the data according to the laws that apply to you (GDPR and similar) and Wellfound's terms.
