Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Dice Tech Jobs Scraper — export Dice.com job listings to JSON, CSV & Excel Scrape **technology job listings from [Dice.com](https://www.dice.com/jobs)** in bulk — no login, no API key, no browser automation. Give it a list of keywords (job titles or skills) and, optionally, a list of locations, and it returns one clean, structured row per job: title, company, location, remote type, **salary range**, employment type, posted date and a direct apply link. Dice is one of the largest U.S. tech-focused job boards. This actor turns its search results into a spreadsheet or dataset you can filter, dedupe and load anywhere. --- ### What you can do with it - **Recruiting & sourcing** — track who is hiring for a stack or role across cities, feed an ATS/CRM. - **Job-market & salary research** — pull thousands of postings to analyze pay ranges, remote share, in-demand skills. - **Aggregators & job boards** — syndicate fresh Dice tech listings into your own site. - **Sales & lead gen** — companies actively hiring engineers are companies with budget and growth. - **Competitive intelligence** — watch which competitors are staffing up and for what. --- ### Features - ✅ **Bulk by design** — every input is a **list**. Search many keywords × many locations in one run (a cross product). - ✅ **Deep pagination** — automatically walks every result page (30 jobs/page) up to your limit; bounded by Dice's own last-page marker so it never loops. - ✅ **Structured salary** — parses Dice's messy salary strings into `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` / `salaryCurrency` / `salaryPeriod`, keeping the raw text too. - ✅ **Rich fields** — company, location breakdown, remote/hybrid/on-site, employment type, posted & modified dates, summary, apply URL. - ✅ **Global de-duplication** — the same posting seen under multiple searches is returned (and billed) only once. - ✅ **Filters** — remote-only, employment type (Full-time / Contract / Part-time / Third Party), posted-within-days, search radius. - ✅ **Power-user URLs** — paste any `dice.com/jobs` search URL (with filters already applied) and it scrapes it deep. --- ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searchTerms` | array of strings | Keywords / job titles / skills, e.g. `["python", "data engineer"]`. Each is searched in each location. Leave empty to scrape the whole feed. | | `locations` | array of strings | Dice-format locations, e.g. `["New York, NY, USA", "Austin, TX, USA"]`. Empty = nationwide. | | `remoteOnly` | boolean | Only remote-eligible jobs. | | `employmentTypes` | array | Any of `Full-time`, `Contract`, `Part-time`, `Third Party`. Empty = all. | | `postedWithinDays` | integer | `1` = Today, `2-3` = Last 3 days, `4-7` = Last 7 days (Dice's only windows). | | `radiusMiles` | integer | Radius around each location, in miles. | | `searchUrls` | array of strings | Full `dice.com/jobs?...` URLs to scrape deep (power users). | | `maxResultsPerSearch` | integer | Max jobs per keyword+location pair. Default `300`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Residential/US recommended; the actor auto-rotates on a block. | #### Example input ```json { "searchTerms": ["python", "data engineer"], "locations": ["New York, NY, USA"], "remoteOnly": false, "employmentTypes": ["Full-time", "Contract"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 300, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` *** ### Output Each job is one dataset item. Real sample (a live Dice listing): ```json { "jobId": "43d7cbc4c085fc2da43f6fffa5a6c4a1", "guid": "c5c1cbfa-6056-495e-be9b-9dcec380d537", "title": "Lead Software Engineer (Java, Python, AWS)", "company": "Capital One", "companyLogo": "https://d3qscgr6xsioh.cloudfront.net/...muselogo.webp?format=webp", "companyProfileId": "3a49da6b-f646-4a86-a7fb-6800d711de1c", "clientBrandId": "10225989", "employmentType": "Full-time", "employerType": "Direct Hire", "city": "New York", "state": "New York", "region": "NY", "country": "USA", "location": "New York, New York, USA", "isRemote": false, "workplaceTypes": ["On-Site"], "postedDate": "2026-07-17T20:51:58Z", "modifiedDate": "2026-07-18T20:55:40Z", "salaryRaw": "USD 215,200.00 - 245,600.00 per year", "salaryMin": 215200.0, "salaryMax": 245600.0, "salaryCurrency": "USD", "salaryPeriod": "year", "easyApply": false, "score": 11361.719, "summary": "Lead Software Engineer (Java, Python, AWS) Do you love building and pioneering...", "jobUrl": "https://www.dice.com/job-detail/c5c1cbfa-6056-495e-be9b-9dcec380d537", "searchTerm": "python", "searchLocation": "New York, NY, USA", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-19T12:00:00Z" } ``` #### Field notes - **`salaryMin` / `salaryMax` / `salaryPeriod`** — Dice salary text is free-form and inconsistent (`"USD 215,200 - 245,600 per year"`, `"60 - 65"`, `"Depends on Experience"`). The actor extracts the numbers and reads/infers the period (hourly vs annual) best-effort; `salaryRaw` always keeps the original. Not every job posts a salary. - **`workplaceTypes`** — a list, e.g. `["Remote"]`, `["On-Site", "Hybrid"]`. - **`jobUrl`** — `dice.com/job-detail/...` for most jobs, `dice.com/direct-apply/...` for Easy Apply. *** ### How many results can I get? As many as Dice lists. A single keyword+location commonly has **thousands** of postings across ~170 pages; the actor paginates to `maxResultsPerSearch`. For very large pulls, add several locations — each is searched independently and results are de-duplicated globally. *** ### FAQ **Do I need a Dice account or API key?** No. The data is read from Dice's public, server-rendered search pages. **Is this allowed?** The actor collects only publicly available job-posting data. Respect Dice's Terms of Service and applicable law; you are responsible for how you use the output. **Why Apify Residential proxy?** Dice can throttle high-volume datacenter traffic. Residential US is the safe default; the actor rotates to a fresh session automatically if a page is blocked. **Some rows have no salary / location.** Those fields are simply not present on every Dice posting — that is a gap in the source, not the scraper. **Can I filter by experience level or salary?** Apply that filter on dice.com in your browser, copy the URL, and paste it into `searchUrls`. *** ### Pricing This actor is **pay-per-result**: you are charged once per job row returned. Blocked or empty pages are never charged, and duplicate postings are billed only once. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): One or more keywords to search Dice for - a job title like 'software engineer', a skill like 'python', 'aws' or 'react', or a company name. Every search term is run against every location below (so 4 terms x 3 locations = 12 searches), and each search is paginated deep. Results are billed per job row, so more terms = more rows. Leave empty to scrape the whole Dice jobs feed (optionally narrowed by the filters below). ## `locations` (type: `array`): Locations to filter by, in Dice's format - 'City, ST, USA' (e.g. 'New York, NY, USA', 'Austin, TX, USA') or just a city/metro. Each search term is searched in each location (a cross product). Leave empty to search every term nationwide. For remote roles use 'Remote jobs only' below instead of a city. ## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only remote-eligible jobs are returned (Dice's Remote workplace filter). Combine with Search terms to get, e.g., remote Python jobs. Leave off to include on-site and hybrid roles too. ## `employmentTypes` (type: `array`): Optional: restrict to one or more employment types. Leave empty to include all. Allowed values: 'Full-time', 'Contract', 'Part-time', 'Third Party'. ## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Optional: only return jobs posted within this many days. Dice offers 1-, 3- and 7-day windows: 1 -> Today, 2-3 -> Last 3 Days, 4-7 -> Last 7 Days. Values above 7 return all open jobs (Dice has no older bucket). Leave empty for all open jobs regardless of age. ## `radiusMiles` (type: `integer`): Optional: how far around each location to search, in miles (e.g. 30, 50, 100). Only used when a Location is set. Leave empty for Dice's default radius. ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Optional: paste full dice.com/jobs URLs (e.g. 'https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=java\&location=Chicago,%20IL,%20USA\&filters.employmentType=CONTRACTS') with your own filters already applied in the browser. Each URL is scraped and paginated deep. Use this to apply any Dice filter (experience level, salary, willing-to-sponsor, easy-apply) that the fields above don't cover. ## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Maximum jobs to return for EACH term+location pair (and each pasted URL). The actor paginates automatically (30 jobs per Dice page). Set high to pull a whole keyword or location deeply; duplicate jobs (same posting across searches) are removed automatically. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to reach dice.com. The default (Apify Residential proxy, US) is recommended - Dice can throttle datacenter traffic at volume. The actor automatically rotates to a fresh proxy session if a page is blocked. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "software engineer", "python", "data engineer", "devops" ], "locations": [ "New York, NY, USA", "Austin, TX, USA", "Remote" ], "remoteOnly": false, "employmentTypes": [ "Full-time", "Contract" ], "searchUrls": [ "https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=java&location=Chicago,%20IL,%20USA", "https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=cybersecurity&filters.workplaceTypes=Remote" ], "maxResultsPerSearch": 300, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
