Wellfound Scraper - Startup Jobs, Salary & Equity

Scrape Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) startup jobs — with the two things most job scrapers can't give you: a published salary range and an equity percentage. No login, no cookies.

Built for recruiters, startup job boards, comp benchmarking and B2B lead lists of companies that are actively hiring.

What you get

One row per job, every row carrying the same fields:

Field	What it is
title, jobUrl, jobId	The role and its canonical link
companyName, companySlug, companyUrl	Who's hiring
companySize	e.g. SIZE_201_500
companyTagline	What the company actually does
companyMarkets	Wellfound's own badges — Actively Hiring, Top 10% of responders, stage and investor signals
primaryLocation, locations	Where the role sits
isRemote, remoteDetail	Remote status
compensation	Original string, e.g. "$150k – $220k • 0.5% – 1.0%"
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency	Parsed into numbers so you can filter and chart
equityMin, equityMax	Equity percentage range
jobType, experienceLevel	Employment type and seniority
postedAt	ISO 8601 timestamp
description	Full role description

Filters

onlyRemote · onlyWithSalary · minSalary · maxPagesPerRole · maxResults

Filters run inside the crawl, so a filtered-out job never costs you anything.

Example input

{
  "roles": ["software-engineer", "product-manager"],
  "onlyWithSalary": true,
  "minSalary": 150000,
  "maxPagesPerRole": 3,
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Role slugs are the ones Wellfound uses in its own URLs: software-engineer, product-manager, designer, data-scientist, sales, marketing.

Pricing

$0.003 per job. You are charged only for rows actually delivered to your dataset. A search that matches nothing costs $0 and tells you why.

Honest limits

• Wellfound blocks a share of requests at random. Measured across four different identities (browser headers, Googlebot, curl, UK egress): every one succeeded 5–6 times out of 8, and the failures were clean 403s, not partial data. The actor retries on a fresh proxy session, which clears roughly 96% of pages — but the residential proxy is required, not optional.
• Equity is published on a minority of postings (~19% in a real sample). Salary is far more common (~90%). Both are left null when Wellfound has no value — never defaulted to 0.
• Company pages and city-filtered job pages are 403 for logged-out clients, so this actor works from the role feeds and the general jobs feed. The company data you get comes attached to each job, which is where it's useful anyway.

Tips

• onlyWithSalary: true plus minSalary gives you a clean comp-benchmarking dataset in one run.
• companyMarkets containing "Actively Hiring" is a strong buying signal for B2B outreach.
• Dedupe on jobId when accumulating scheduled runs.
