Levels.fyi Jobs Scraper 📊

What does Levels.fyi Jobs Scraper do?

Levels.fyi Jobs Scraper collects job listings from Levels.fyi, including salary ranges, company details, locations, and application links. Enter a keyword, a location, or a combined search query, set how many jobs you want, and download a structured dataset. Use it for salary research, hiring intelligence, job board monitoring, and workforce analysis without copying listings by hand.

The Actor saves jobs in batches while it runs, so you do not lose progress if a later page fails. Optional detail collection adds full job descriptions, employment types, and structured address data for each listing.

Why use Levels.fyi Jobs Scraper?

• Salary ranges when published - Collect base salary and total compensation ranges alongside the job title and company.
• Company context - Save company type, employee count, valuation estimate, description, and logo URL with each listing.
• Search that matches the site - Use a keyword, a location, or a free-text query such as "product manager Toronto".
• Control over run size - Set a job limit and a page cap to balance speed and depth.
• Optional full descriptions - Add complete job descriptions and structured location details when you need them.
• Apify platform features - Schedule repeat runs, connect webhooks, call the Actor through the Apify API, and export the dataset to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

How to collect Levels.fyi job data

1. Open the Actor on Apify Store.
2. Enter a keyword, a location, or a full search query.
3. Set the maximum number of jobs and, if needed, the page cap.
4. Enable detail collection when you need full job descriptions.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset.
6. Export the data or connect the dataset to your workflow.

Search values follow a simple order. When keyword or location is supplied, the Actor combines them into one search. When both are empty, it uses searchQuery. When every search field is empty, it uses the default query software engineer, so a run started without input still returns data.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQuery	String	No	software engineer	Free-text query used when keyword and location are empty
keyword	String	No	-	Job title or role, for example Data Scientist
location	String	No	-	City, country, or work arrangement, for example Toronto or Remote
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of job listings to save
max_pages	Integer	No	10	Safety cap on result pages. Each page can contain up to 25 company groups
collectDetails	Boolean	No	false	Fetch full descriptions and extra detail fields for each listing
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	{}	Optional Apify Proxy or custom proxy URLs

Tips for Best Results

• Use a specific role name. "Backend Engineer" returns more relevant listings than "engineer".
• Add a location when you want one market, or leave it empty for a broader search.
• Start with 20 to 50 jobs while you check the output, then increase the limit.
• Keep max_pages as a safety cap for large scheduled runs.
• Enable collectDetails only when you need descriptions, since it adds one request per job.
• Run several focused searches when you need coverage across different titles or regions.
• Use residential proxies for repeated large runs.

Integrations

• Make or Zapier - Connect results to no-code automations.
• Apify API - Read datasets from your own applications and dashboards.
• Power BI or Looker Studio - Build salary and hiring reports from exported data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export Levels.fyi job data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Open the dataset in Apify Console and choose CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the export menu. The API also returns the same records.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create a schedule in Apify Console to refresh your job dataset hourly, daily, or weekly. Scheduled runs use the input you save in the task.

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

The limit depends on your search and max_pages. Each page can return up to 25 company groups, and each group can include multiple jobs. Set results_wanted to the number you need and max_pages high enough to reach it.

Why are some salary fields empty?

Not every employer publishes salary ranges on Levels.fyi. When a range is missing, those fields are omitted from that record. Other fields remain available.

What is the difference between base salary and total compensation?

Base salary is the annual wage. Total compensation can include bonus, equity, and other components. Both ranges appear when the source publishes them.

Why is expiry_date missing on some jobs?

The posting date is available for most listings, but an application deadline is only present when the employer publishes one.

How long does a run take?

A run with 20 jobs usually finishes in a few seconds. Enabling collectDetails adds one detail request per job. Runs with up to about 100 details usually finish in a few seconds, and larger runs may pause when the source rate limit is reached.

Does the Actor open each job page?

No. It requests the detail record directly from the same job data service used by the search results, so there is no page rendering step.

Can I search by location only?

Yes. Enter a location and leave the keyword empty. The Actor runs a location-based search.

Can I use my own proxy?

Yes. Add custom proxy URLs in proxyConfiguration or enable Apify Proxy. Residential proxies are the better choice for large or repeated runs.

Is the data fresh?

The Actor reads listings available on Levels.fyi at run time. Schedule repeat runs to keep a dataset current.

Does the Actor return duplicate jobs?

No. Each job ID is saved once per run, even when a job appears in more than one page.

Is it legal to collect this data?

The Actor collects publicly available job listings. You are responsible for following Levels.fyi's terms, applicable privacy rules, and local law.
