Built In Jobs Scraper

Tech jobs from Built In — title, company, location, salary range, employment type, industries, benefits and the full description.

Why use this actor

• Complete rows, not just links. Built In's listing pages publish only four things per job: title, link, position and a one-line summary. No company, no location, no salary, no date. This actor reads each job's own page to fill all of that in, and does it by default.
• Salary ranges as numbers, with currency and period — not a string you have to parse.
• Per-job benefits lists. 401(k) matching, parental leave, fertility benefits, mental-health cover and the rest, as a structured list. Very few job boards publish this.
• A typo can't hand you the wrong jobs. Ask Built In for a category it does not recognise and it returns ten perfectly real, completely unrelated jobs with a 200 OK — no error, no redirect. This actor spots that and returns an error row instead of the wrong data.
• Nothing depends on page markup. Every field comes from the structured data Built In publishes for search engines, so a site redesign does not silently empty your dataset.
• No account, no login, no API key.

How it works

1. You pick categories (dev-engineering, remote, san-francisco), keywords, or nothing at all for the full listing.
2. The actor reads the listing pages, collecting job links and deduplicating.
3. It then reads each job's own page for the employer, salary, location, date, benefits and full description.
4. Results land in your dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, with one summary row per query.

Input

{
  "categories": ["dev-engineering"],
  "searchTerms": [],
  "includeJobDetails": true,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 100,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 5,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "minRequestInterval": 0.5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Field	Type	Description
categories	array	The path segment from Built In's own URL — dev-engineering, remote, san-francisco. An unrecognised one is reported as an error rather than quietly replaced with generic jobs.
searchTerms	array	Keyword search. Combine with categories and every category is searched with every term.
includeJobDetails	boolean	On by default — without it you get titles and links and nothing else, because that is all the listing publishes. Costs one request per job.
maxItemsPerQuery	integer	Stop after this many unique jobs per query. 0 = no cap. Default 100.
maxPagesPerQuery	integer	Listing-page ceiling. Page size varies between about 10 and 27 jobs, so use the item cap for a precise budget. Default 5.
maxConcurrency	integer	Requests in flight, which matters most during the detail pass. Default 5.
minRequestInterval	number	Seconds between request starts. Default 0.5.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy. Datacenter is the default and is sufficient.

Output

Three record types share one dataset, told apart by recordType.

Field	Description
jobId / jobUrl	Built In's job id and a direct link.
title	Job title.
summary	The one-line summary from the listing page.
description	The full job description (HTML) from the job's own page.
detailCompanyName / detailCompanyUrl / detailCompanyLogo	The employer.
detailSalaryMin / detailSalaryMax / detailSalaryCurrency / detailSalaryPeriod	Salary range, already split into numbers.
detailCity / detailRegion / detailCountry / detailPostalCode	Location, flattened from the posting's address.
employmentType	FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, CONTRACTOR, …
datePosted / validThrough	When it was posted and when it expires.
industry	The employer's industry tags.
jobBenefits	Structured benefits list — often 20+ entries.
applicantLocationRequirements	Where applicants must be based.
directApply	Whether Built In accepts the application directly.
baseSalary / hiringOrganization / jobLocation / identifier	The original structured objects, kept whole.
_detailError	Present only when a job's own page could not be read.

SEARCH_SUMMARY

Field	Description
category / searchTerm	What was queried.
pagesFetched / jobsReturned / duplicatesDropped	What the run did.
collectionPageTitle	The page title Built In returned — this is what proves the category applied.
unfilteredPageTitle	The generic title, for comparison.
jobDetailsRequested / jobDetailFailures	Whether the detail pass ran, and how many pages failed.
stoppedBecause	max_items_reached, max_pages_reached, no_new_jobs, no_more_results.
upstreamTotalNotPublished	Always true — Built In publishes no result total anywhere, so none is invented.
pageSizeVaries	Always true — pages hold roughly 10–27 jobs.

ERROR

_error	Meaning
category_not_applied	Built In ignored the category and served generic jobs. The rows were discarded.
invalid_input	A malformed category slug, refused before any request.
blocked	Every attempt was refused; try the residential proxy group.
unexpected_shape	A 200 without the structured data this actor depends on.
fetch_failed	Network or server trouble after retries.

Known limits

• No result total. Built In does not publish one, so runs are bounded by your page and item caps rather than by a known total.
• Page size is not fixed (roughly 10–27 jobs), so a page count is not a precise job budget.
• The detail pass is one request per job. A 500-job run is ~500 requests.
• Company profiles are not scraped — each job carries its employer's name, Built In page and logo, but not the full company profile.
