Wellfound Remote Jobs Scraper

What does Wellfound Remote Jobs Scraper do?

Wellfound Remote Jobs Scraper turns Wellfound role and location feeds into flat job records for recruiters, job boards, hiring dashboards, and startup lead lists. It reads the source page's own structured result payload, paginates it, and writes only unique rows that pass your filters.

What data can you extract from Wellfound?

• Job details — title, primary role, employment type, full public description, ATS source, posted timestamp
• Compensation — raw salary/equity text, parsed salary minimum and maximum, parsed equity percentage range
• Remote targeting — remote flag, listed locations, accepted remote locations, keyword and freshness filters
• Startup context — company name, slug, profile URL, logo, company-size band, short pitch, hiring badges
• Provenance — stable job ID, canonical job URL, source search URL, scrape timestamp

How to use Wellfound Remote Jobs Scraper

1. Open the actor and keep the prefilled software-engineer role, or add your own Wellfound role slugs.
2. Add location slugs such as new-york or berlin, or paste full role/location URLs under Custom Wellfound URLs.
3. Choose Remote jobs only, add optional keyword or salary filters, then set the page and item caps.
4. Click Start and watch the run log for fetched pages and parsed jobs.
5. Download the matching dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or read it through the Apify dataset API.

How much does it cost?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing: one billable event is one matching job row written to the default dataset. Jobs filtered out before writing are not charged. Use maxItems, maxPages, and narrow role/location filters to keep a run bounded; the current price is shown in the Pricing tab.

Input

The simplest input is a role slug. Set remoteOnly to false when a city feed should include on-site roles. Custom Wellfound search URLs override the role and location fields.

{
  "roleSlugs": ["software-engineer", "data-scientist"],
  "locations": ["new-york"],
  "remoteOnly": true,
  "keyword": "python, machine learning",
  "maxPages": 2,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Output

Each dataset item contains the job, compensation, remote eligibility, startup context, and source URLs. Missing source values are returned as null; array fields are returned as empty arrays when Wellfound has no values.

Source and coverage notes

The actor uses public Wellfound role and location pages. Those pages currently embed the job search result data in the server-rendered __NEXT_DATA__ payload, with source pagination metadata and full descriptions on role feeds. Individual job detail-page enrichment is intentionally not used, keeping page count and cost predictable.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Wellfound?

This actor reads public job-listing pages and does not access private candidate, recruiter, applicant, or message data. You are responsible for using the output lawfully and respecting the requirements that apply to your workflow.

Why is a description sometimes null?

Wellfound does not expose every field on every result. Role feeds usually include descriptions, while a listing can omit compensation, experience, or company metadata. The actor preserves those gaps as null rather than inventing values.

Does this open each job detail page?

No. The actor uses the structured data already embedded in the role or location result page. This keeps runs faster and makes pay-per-row costs predictable.
