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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## 🚀 Wellfound (AngelList) Jobs Scraper Scrape **public startup job listings** from [Wellfound](https://wellfound.com) (formerly **AngelList Talent**) at scale. Paste role/location search URLs in bulk, apply rich filters, and export clean, structured job data — job title, company, compensation, locations, remote status, posting date, company logo, and direct links. This actor drives a **stealth Firefox (Camoufox)** that naturally clears Wellfound's **Cloudflare + DataDome** anti-bot stack — no captcha solver required — and reads the page's embedded **Apollo (Next.js) cache** for accurate, stable data. --- ### ✨ Why Choose Us? - 🦊 **Real anti-bot bypass** — stealth Firefox passes DataDome's TLS, canvas, and WebGL checks naturally. - 🛡️ **Smart proxy ladder** — starts direct, auto-escalates to datacenter → residential only when needed, then sticks. - 🧠 **Apollo-first extraction** — reads structured JSON, not fragile CSS classes, with a DOM fallback. - 💾 **Live saving** — every job lands in your dataset the instant it's parsed; a crash never loses progress. - 🔍 **Powerful filters** — title, keyword, location, remote, experience, salary band, company include/exclude. - 📊 **Tidy output** — three ready-made table views: Jobs, Companies, Metadata. --- ### 🔑 Key Features | Feature | Details | |--------|---------| | Bulk URLs | Paste many role/location or job pages at once | | Auto-pagination | Crawls pages until `maxItems` or the last page | | Filters | title, keyword, location, remote-only, job type, experience, salary, companies | | Sorting | Newest / oldest first | | Proxy fallback | none → datacenter → residential (sticky) | | Company logos | Cloudflare image-proxy wrappers stripped to the clean URL | --- ### 📥 Input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york" } ], "maxItems": 50, "jobTitle": "", "keyword": "", "location": "", "remoteOnly": false, "jobType": "any", "experience": "any", "minSalary": 0, "maxSalary": 0, "includeNoSalary": true, "sort": "none", "includeCompanies": [], "excludeCompanies": [], "companyCategories": [], "countryName": "United States", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `startUrls` | array | **Required.** Wellfound role/location pages or single job pages. | | `maxItems` | integer | Stop after this many jobs (default 50). | | `jobTitle` | string | Keep jobs whose title contains this text. | | `keyword` | string | Matched against title, company, and locations. | | `location` | string | Keep jobs whose locations contain this text. | | `remoteOnly` | boolean | Keep only remote jobs. | | `jobType` | enum | Any / Full-time / Part-time / Contract / Internship. | | `experience` | enum | Any / Junior / Mid / Senior / Executive. | | `minSalary` / `maxSalary` | integer | Salary band in USD/year (0 = unbounded). | | `includeNoSalary` | boolean | Keep jobs without a published salary. | | `sort` | enum | As found / Newest / Oldest. | | `includeCompanies` / `excludeCompanies` | array | Company allow / block list. | | `companyCategories` | array | Keep companies matching these keywords. | | `countryName` | enum | Residential proxy geo-target. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (default: no proxy). | *** ### 📤 Output Each dataset item: ```json { "type": "wellfound_job", "jobId": "4117786", "title": "Software Engineer", "slug": "software-engineer", "companyName": "Octozi", "companySlug": "octozi", "companyUrl": "https://wellfound.com/company/octozi", "companyLogo": "https://photos.wellfound.com/startups/i/10793349-...-medium_jpg.jpg", "companyId": null, "jobUrl": "https://wellfound.com/jobs/4117786-software-engineer", "compensation": "$125k – $175k • 0.1% – 0.35% In office", "remote": false, "locations": ["New York City"], "postedAt": "1780392293", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-08T09:24:53Z" } ``` | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `type` | Always `wellfound_job`. | | `jobId` / `slug` | Wellfound identifiers. | | `title` | Job title. | | `companyName` / `companySlug` / `companyId` | Company identity. | | `companyUrl` / `companyLogo` | Company page and logo. | | `jobUrl` | Direct link to the job. | | `compensation` | Raw pay/equity string as shown on Wellfound. | | `remote` | Remote flag. | | `locations` | Array of location strings. | | `postedAt` | Unix timestamp (seconds) of posting. | | `scrapedAt` | ISO-8601 scrape time (UTC). | *** ### 🚀 How to Use (Apify Console) 1. Log in at [console.apify.com](https://console.apify.com) → **Actors**. 2. Open **Wellfound (AngelList) Jobs Scraper**. 3. Paste one or more Wellfound URLs into **🔗 Start URLs**. 4. (Optional) Set filters and **🎯 Max Items**. 5. Click **Start** and watch the live log fill with jobs. 6. Open the **Output** tab — switch between **Jobs**, **Companies**, and **Metadata** views. 7. Export to JSON / CSV / XLSX. ### 🤖 Use via API ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts//run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york"}],"maxItems":50}' ``` *** ### 💡 Best Use Cases - 📈 Track startup hiring trends by role, city, or compensation band. - 🧑‍💼 Build talent pipelines and sourcing lists. - 🏢 Monitor competitor hiring. - 🔬 Labor-market and salary research. ### 🛡️ Proxy Behavior The actor starts with a **direct connection**. If Wellfound's anti-bot blocks a request it automatically escalates to a **datacenter** proxy, then to a **residential** proxy (with up to 3 retries), and then **stays on residential** for the rest of the run. All escalations are logged. ### ⚖️ Cautions / Legal - Data is collected only from **publicly available** Wellfound pages. - No login or private content is accessed. - You are responsible for compliance with GDPR, CCPA, anti-spam laws, and Wellfound's Terms of Service. ### 💬 Support & Feedback Found a bug or need a custom field? Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab — we read every one. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Wellfound URLs. Use a role + location search page (e.g. https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york) or a single job page (https://wellfound.com/jobs/-). Supports bulk paste. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after collecting this many jobs (across all URLs). The scraper paginates automatically until this target or the last results page is reached. ## `jobTitle` (type: `string`): Keep only jobs whose title contains this text (case-insensitive). Leave blank to keep all. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Free-text term matched against title, company name, and locations. ## `location` (type: `string`): Keep only jobs whose location list contains this text (e.g. New York, Austin, United States). ## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only jobs flagged as remote. ## `jobType` (type: `string`): Filter by employment type. Best-effort — only drops cards that clearly state a different type. ## `experience` (type: `string`): Filter by seniority inferred from the job title. ## `minSalary` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs whose top-of-range pay is at least this amount. 0 = no minimum. ## `maxSalary` (type: `integer`): Keep only jobs whose bottom-of-range pay is at most this amount. 0 = no maximum. ## `includeNoSalary` (type: `boolean`): When salary filters are set, also keep jobs that do not publish a salary. ## `sort` (type: `string`): Order results by posting date (applied per results page). ## `includeCompanies` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs from companies whose name or slug matches one of these. ## `excludeCompanies` (type: `array`): Drop jobs from companies whose name or slug matches one of these. ## `companyCategories` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs whose company name or slug matches one of these category keywords. ## `countryName` (type: `string`): Country used to geo-target residential proxy traffic when anti-bot fallback kicks in. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Turn on Apify or custom proxies here; leave off to start with a direct connection. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york" ], "maxItems": 10, "jobTitle": "", "keyword": "", "location": "", "remoteOnly": false, "jobType": "any", "experience": "any", "minSalary": 0, "maxSalary": 0, "includeNoSalary": true, "sort": "none", "includeCompanies": [], "excludeCompanies": [], "companyCategories": [], "countryName": "United States", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
