Dice Job Scraper

What does Dice Jobs Scraper do?

Dice Jobs Scraper collects current technology job listings from Dice and saves them as structured dataset records. Search by keyword and location, use a Dice search URL, filter by posting date, and collect fields such as job title, company, location, salary, employment type, work setting, description, and job URLs.

The Actor is useful for recruiters, staffing teams, job market researchers, and analysts who need repeatable Dice job data for sourcing, hiring intelligence, salary research, or scheduled monitoring. You can run it from Apify Console, export the dataset, or connect the results to another workflow.

Why use Dice Jobs Scraper?

• Targeted hiring research - Search for roles such as Python developer, data engineer, or machine learning engineer in a selected location.
• Fresh job discovery - Restrict results to recent postings from the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days.
• Structured job records - Collect employer, location, salary text, work setting, employment type, sponsorship, description, and source links when Dice provides them.
• Repeatable monitoring - Run the same keyword, location, or Dice search URL on a schedule to track hiring activity over time.
• Recruiting workflow support - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML for review, reporting, enrichment, and internal systems.
• Controlled collection size - Set the number of jobs to save and optionally limit the number of result pages visited.

How to scrape Dice jobs

1. Open Dice Jobs Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a job keyword and location, or provide a complete Dice search URL in startUrl.
3. Choose the posting-date filter and maximum number of results.
4. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
5. Download the results or connect the dataset to your recruiting, research, or reporting workflow.

When startUrl contains a Dice search configuration, it is used as the starting point. Search terms and location values already present in the URL take precedence over the corresponding manual inputs. For larger or recurring runs, you can also configure Apify Proxy in proxyConfiguration.

Tips for Best Results

• Use specific keywords - Search for exact roles or skills such as java developer, site reliability engineer, or data analyst to reduce unrelated results.
• Choose a useful location - Use Remote for distributed hiring research, or provide a city, state, country, or region for local results.
• Start with a small limit - Test a query with results_wanted set to 20 or 50 before scaling up.
• Use recent filters for alerts - Choose 24h or 3d for fresh hiring signals. Use 7d or 30d for market snapshots.
• Use maxPages when needed - A page limit helps keep recurring runs predictable. Leave it empty when the result target is more important than the page count.
• Review source coverage - Salary, sponsorship, company profile, and description fields may be empty because individual Dice listings publish different details.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review job records in a spreadsheet and share them with recruiting or research teams.
• Airtable - Build a searchable database of openings, employers, and hiring signals.
• Webhooks - Send completed run notifications or dataset events to another service.
• Make and Zapier - Connect new job data to alerts, spreadsheets, CRMs, or internal workflows.
• API access - Retrieve dataset results programmatically for dashboards and applications.

Apify datasets can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats. JSON is useful for applications and data pipelines, while CSV and Excel are convenient for analysis and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Dice jobs can I collect in one run?

You can request up to 10,000 saved records with results_wanted. The Actor stops earlier when matching search results end or when the configured page limit is reached.

Can I use a Dice search URL instead of keyword and location inputs?

Yes. Set startUrl to a Dice jobs search URL. The URL is used as the starting search configuration and takes precedence over manually entered keyword and location values where those values are already present in the URL.

Can I filter Dice jobs by posting date?

Yes. Set posted_date to all, 24h, 3d, 7d, or 30d to control how recent the returned listings should be.

Does the output include job descriptions?

Yes. When a listing provides description content, the dataset includes description_html and description_text. If the full description is unavailable, the summary may be used as the plain-text description.

Why are salary, location, or company fields sometimes empty?

Some Dice listings do not publish every field. Empty values normally indicate a source-data limitation, not a problem with the dataset format.

Can I limit the number of result pages?

Yes. Set maxPages to a positive integer to add a hard page limit. Leave it empty to let the Actor continue until it reaches results_wanted or runs out of results.

Can I schedule recurring Dice job searches?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval, then send each dataset to your preferred export or integration workflow.

Is it legal to collect Dice job data?

Public-data collection can be subject to laws, privacy rules, and website terms. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting Dice policies, and handling job and employer data appropriately.
