Dice Tech Jobs Scraper

Extract US tech job listings from Dice.com at scale. Get titles, companies, locations, salaries, full descriptions, remote and visa-sponsorship flags, easy-apply support, and direct apply links — for any keyword, location, or pasted Dice search URL.

Why This Scraper?

• Up to 500 results per search — Dice's full server-side ceiling, with automatic pagination so you never hit the page-25 wall by accident
• Full job descriptions out of the box — every record includes the complete posting text (HTML and plain-text), not just the search snippet
• Structured filters as first-class inputs — keyword, location, radius, posted-within window, employment type, remote-only, easy-apply, and willing-to-sponsor are all proper input fields, no need to hand-craft Dice URLs
• Batch keyword search — run multiple job titles in a single execution and de-duplicate across queries automatically
• Direct URL passthrough — already have a Dice search dialed in on the website? Paste the URL and the scraper honors every filter you set there
• Parsed salary fields — alongside the raw salary string, you get salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, and salaryPeriod parsed for you when the format is clean
• Visa-sponsorship and easy-apply flags — perfect for international candidates, recruiters, or job-aggregator sites that need to surface only sponsor-friendly or one-click apply roles
• Pay only for what you get — transparent per-result pricing, no monthly rental, no compute-time surprises

Getting Started

Simple Keyword Search

The fastest way to get started — one keyword, sensible defaults:

{
    "searchQueries": ["python developer"],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 100
}

Filtered Search — Recent Remote Roles

Narrow down to fresh, remote, easy-apply jobs in a specific market:

{
    "searchQueries": ["data engineer", "machine learning engineer"],
    "location": "Austin, TX",
    "radiusMiles": 50,
    "postedWithinDays": "SEVEN",
    "employmentType": "FULLTIME",
    "remoteOnly": true,
    "easyApply": true,
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 200
}

Visa-Sponsorship Search

Surface only roles whose employers are willing to sponsor a work visa:

{
    "searchQueries": ["software engineer", "backend engineer"],
    "location": "New York, NY",
    "willingToSponsor": true,
    "postedWithinDays": "THREE",
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 150
}

Direct Dice URL + Keyword Combo

Filters & Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description

Tips for Best Results

• Use specific keywords — "senior react developer" returns far cleaner results than "developer". Dice's search ranks broad terms loosely.
• Narrow the location for better signal — a tight location + small radiusMiles returns fewer but far more relevant jobs than a nationwide search. Dice caps every search at 500 results, so a focused search uses that budget on jobs you actually want.
• Set postedWithinDays: "ONE" for fresh listings — perfect for daily candidate-sourcing pipelines or fresh-job alerting.
• Combine remoteOnly with a metro location — Dice will return remote roles whose employers are headquartered in or hiring for that metro, useful for time-zone or compliance-aware searches.
• Run multiple keywords in one execution — populating searchQueries with several related titles (e.g. ["backend engineer", "platform engineer", "infrastructure engineer"]) deduplicates across queries automatically and saves you spinning up multiple runs.
• Paste a Dice URL when you already have a search dialed in — startUrls honor every filter encoded in the URL, so any tuning you do on the Dice website carries through unchanged.

Good to Know

• 500-results-per-search ceiling — Dice's own search engine caps every query at 500 jobs (25 pages × 20 per page) regardless of how many matches actually exist. To reach more unique jobs, split a broad query into narrower ones (by city, role, or seniority) and run them in a single batch. Actual counts may run roughly 1-3% under the requested cap because Dice occasionally repeats listings across pages — we deduplicate, which can shave a few off your requested total. This is expected.
• Full descriptions are populated by default — every record includes the complete job description from the detail page. This is the most valuable field for LLM enrichment, candidate matching, and full-text indexing.
• skills is best-effort — Dice doesn't expose a structured skills tag on every posting. The field is always present (defaults to []) so the dataset shape stays stable, but it'll be empty for many jobs.
• Dice is US-only — non-US locations silently fall back to nationwide US results rather than returning an error. If you need international coverage, this is not the right source.
• Salary parsing is best-effort — when Dice shows "Depends on Experience", "Competitive", or other free-text formats, the parsed salaryMin/salaryMax fields will be null. The raw salary string is always preserved.
