Startup Jobs Scraper

Pull startup and tech job listings from startup.jobs at scale — titles, companies, salaries, role tags, workplace type, posting dates, and direct apply links for every opening. Search any keyword in any city worldwide, filter for remote-only roles, and pull full job descriptions on demand. Built for recruiters, job-seekers, and talent-market researchers who need a clean, structured feed of the startup hiring market without copying postings one tab at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Direct apply links on every job — each row carries the real /apply/... destination (or the company's external application URL), not just a link back to the listing page.
• Salary intelligence, parsed — min, max, and currency are pulled out into their own fields wherever the posting publishes a band, alongside a ready-to-read salary string.
• Geo-radius search, any city worldwide — type "Berlin", "United States", or "Europe" and results are ranked by proximity; leave it blank to sweep the whole board globally.
• Remote, hybrid, and on-site, clearly labeled — every job is tagged with a normalized workplace type, plus a one-click remote-only toggle to drop on-site roles entirely.
• Full job descriptions in HTML and clean text — flip one switch to enrich every job with its complete description both ways, plus company logo, role/skill tags, and posting date.
• Four employment types — narrow to full-time, part-time, contract, or internship with a single dropdown, or leave it open to capture all of them.
• Batch up to 50 searches in one run — queue many keywords at once, or paste up to 50 startup.jobs search and individual-job URLs to scrape exact dialed-in results verbatim.
• Startup-focused depth — indexed against tens of thousands of live roles across founder-stage and growth-stage companies, not a generic aggregator's leftovers; the actor returns up to about 500 results per search (split by location or job type to go deeper — see Tips).

Getting Started

Search by Keyword

The simplest run — one keyword, worldwide:

{
    "searchQueries": ["software engineer"]
}

Remote Roles in a City

Filter to remote-friendly jobs near a location, capped per keyword:

{
    "searchQueries": ["product designer", "growth marketer"],
    "location": "Berlin",
    "remoteOnly": true,
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 200
}

Filtered, Full-Detail Pull

Internships only, with full descriptions and apply links on every job:

{
    "searchQueries": ["data science"],
    "location": "United States",
    "employmentType": "internship",
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 500,
    "fetchDescription": true
}

Scrape Exact URLs

Paste a dialed-in startup.jobs search or an individual job page:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://startup.jobs/?q=designer",
        "https://startup.jobs/senior-backend-engineer-acme-12345"
    ]
}

Input Reference

Search

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	["software engineer"]	Job titles or keywords to search for. Each keyword runs its own search. Leave empty if you are pasting direct URLs. Up to 50 keywords per run.
location	string	""	City, country, or region to search near — e.g. "Berlin", "United States", "Europe". Leave blank to search worldwide. Applies to every keyword.
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Only return jobs that can be done remotely. Leave off to include on-site and hybrid roles too.
startUrls	array	[]	Paste full startup.jobs URLs — search results (e.g. https://startup.jobs/?q=designer) or individual job pages. Filters baked into the URL are respected as-is. Up to 50 URLs per run.

Filters & Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
employmentType	string	Any	Filter by job type: Full-time, Part-time, Contract, or Internship. Leave on Any to include all types.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	100	Maximum jobs to collect per keyword or URL. Set to 0 to collect all available jobs. startup.jobs returns up to about 500 results per keyword-and-filter combination — narrow by location or employment type to surface more. A small cap keeps the whole final page, so the count can slightly overshoot or, after de-duplication, run slightly under your cap.

Advanced

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
fetchDescription	boolean	true	Fetch the full job description and apply link from each job's detail page. Leave on for the most complete data. Turn off for faster, lighter runs — the description, descriptionHtml, and applyUrl fields will then be empty.

Each job is one flat record. Example:

Tips for Best Results

• Leave Fetch Full Job Descriptions off for fast, lightweight bulk listing pulls, and turn it on only when you need the complete text and apply links — it adds an extra fetch per job.
• To go past the roughly 500-results-per-search depth, split one broad keyword into several narrow runs by location or employment type — each city or job-type combination has its own 500 ceiling.
• Queue several related keywords in one run instead of many separate runs — every row records its searchQuery, so you can tell which keyword produced which job afterward.
• Use Remote Only for distributed-team sourcing; leave it off and read the workplaceType field when you want the full remote-vs-hybrid-vs-on-site mix.
• For investment-grade salary analysis, sort on salaryMin and salaryCurrency — postings without a published band leave those fields empty rather than guessing.
• Paste a startup.jobs search URL into Direct startup.jobs URLs to reproduce an exact filtered view from the site, or an individual job URL to grab a single posting with full detail.
• Set Max Results per Query to 0 to collect everything available for a search, then add a location or employment-type filter to keep each run focused and deep.

Pricing

From $0.90 per 1,000 results — undercutting the typical startup-job dataset rate. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.105	$0.100	$0.095	$0.090
1,000	$1.05	$1.00	$0.95	$0.90
10,000	$10.50	$10.00	$9.50	$9.00
100,000	$105.00	$100.00	$95.00	$90.00

A "result" is one job record pushed to your dataset. Apify platform usage fees are separate from the per-result price above.
