It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Built In Jobs Scraper Scrape tech jobs from **[Built In](https://builtin.com)** (builtin.com), the US job board for software engineering, data, AI, product, design, marketing, sales and operations roles at tech companies and startups. This Built In jobs scraper reads Built In's job lists by **category**, **subcategory**, **skill or role**, **Remote**, **Hybrid** or **city**, and gives every job with its **company**, **salary as Built In shows it**, **work mode**, **experience level**, **industries**, **top skills** and Built In's summary — and, from each job's own page, the **full description**, **posting and expiry dates**, **employment type**, **exact salary and currency**, **every location with coordinates**, **benefits** and **required skills**. It can also add a **company profile row** for each company: **total employees**, **product + tech employees**, **offices**, **year founded**, **website**, **industries**, **workplace** (remote, hybrid, on site) and **open jobs by department** — the data recruiters and sales teams use to read hiring as a buying signal. No login, no browser, no proxy. Pay only for the rows you get. ### What you can do with this Built In scraper - **Recruiting and sourcing**: every open engineering, data or product role of US tech companies, with salary ranges and seniority, to find who is hiring for what. - **Sales prospecting on hiring signals**: companies hiring now, with their size, product + tech headcount, offices, website and how many jobs each department has open. - **Salary benchmarking**: published pay by role, level, city and work mode — US pay-transparency laws put a range on most postings. - **Job alerts and feeds**: schedule it daily with **Posted within** and **Only new jobs** to receive just the jobs posted since the last run. - **Labour-market research**: remote vs hybrid vs office, skills in demand, which industries are hiring. ### Input | Field | What it does | |---|---| | **Keywords (skills or roles)** | `Python`, `Java`, `DevOps`, `Data Science`, `Backend Developer`, `Product Manager`, `Account Executive`… A keyword Built In has a page of its own for (about 300 skills and roles) is read through that page; any other keyword (`Kubernetes`, `Rust`) is looked for in the job titles and top skills of the categories you choose, or of every job. | | **Categories** | Built In's 16 categories: Engineering, AI & Machine Learning, Data & Analytics, Design, Product Management, Program & Project Management, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Operations & Support, Cybersecurity, Finance, HR & Recruiting, Legal, Consulting, Supply Chain. | | **Subcategories** | The 108 narrower lists of Built In's filter panel: Software Engineering, DevOps / Platform Engineering, Data Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, Product Design, Account Executive… | | **Locations** | `Remote`, `Hybrid`, or a US city or state. The 71 metro areas Built In keeps lists for (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Washington DC…) are read through those lists; any other place (New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, Denver, Texas…) is kept from the national list by each job's locations. Each keyword or category is searched in each location. | | **Built In job list links** | Any page of Built In's job board, read as it is. | | **Built In company links** | Company profiles (`https://builtin.com/company/block-inc`): one company row each. | | **Posted within** | Past 24 hours, 3 days, week or month, through Built In's own New Jobs filter. | | **Work modes** | Remote, hybrid, in-office, in-office or remote, remote or hybrid. | | **Experience levels** | Internship, entry level, junior, mid level, senior, expert / leader. | | **Minimum yearly salary** | Jobs whose published pay reaches it (hourly pay counted at 2,080 hours a year). | | **Only jobs with a published salary** | Leaves out jobs whose card shows no salary. | | **Include job details** | On by default: opens each job's page (charged as job-with-details). | | **Include company profiles** | Adds one row per company of the jobs delivered, once per run. | | **Max jobs per search** | 100 by default; 0 for every job the list shows. | | **Only new jobs since the last run** | Monitor mode for scheduled runs: jobs delivered before are skipped and not charged. | Example — remote software engineering jobs and Python jobs in New York, posted this week, senior level, with company profiles: ```json { "subcategories": ["engineering/software-engineering"], "keywords": ["Python"], "locations": ["Remote", "New York"], "postedWithin": "7", "seniorities": ["senior", "expert_leader"], "includeCompanies": true, "maxJobsPerSearch": 200 } ``` ### Output: Built In jobs data One row per job (description shortened): ```json { "rowType": "job", "status": "ok", "search": "Python · Remote", "searchUrl": "https://builtin.com/jobs/remote/dev-engineering/python", "position": 1, "jobId": "11843249", "url": "https://builtin.com/job/senior-software-engineer-react-python/11843249", "title": "Senior Software Engineer - React & Python", "companyName": "Nearform", "companyUrl": "https://builtin.com/company/nearform", "companyLogo": "https://cdn.builtin.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,fit=scale-down,w=128,h=128/sites/www.builtin.com/files/2024-03/nearform_logo.JPEG", "postedAgo": "2 Days Ago", "reposted": false, "postedAt": "2026-10-23T07:18:58.507Z", "workMode": "remote", "locations": ["United States"], "salaryText": "150K-180K Annually", "salaryMin": 150000, "salaryMax": 180000, "salaryPeriod": "year", "seniority": "senior", "industries": ["Information Technology", "Consulting"], "summary": "Designs and builds scalable applications using React and Python, contributing to component development…", "topSkills": ["Git", "JavaScript", "Python", "React", "Typescript", "Unit Testing"], "details": { "description": "This is a full-time, permanent opportunity for candidates based in the United States…", "descriptionHtml": "

A fact the profile does not show is `null`: many large companies publish no product + tech headcount. ### Pricing | Event | Price | |---|---| | `job` — a job as its list card shows it | US$0.001 | | `job-with-details` — a job read with its own page | US$0.002 | | `company` — a company profile | US$0.002 | | Status rows (nothing found, closed page, bad link) | free | Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops at what it can pay for. ### Limits - **Built In's keyword search is closed to crawlers** by its robots.txt (`/jobs*?search=`), so this Actor never uses it: a keyword is read through Built In's own page for it, or matched on this side against the job titles and top skills of the lists you choose. The Actor obeys robots.txt on every request; a pasted link it closes gives a free row. - **New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles and Colorado** have lists of their own on Built In, but robots.txt closes them, so jobs there are kept from the national lists by their locations. - **Built In localizes some lists by the visitor's location.** The Actor runs from Apify's US servers, so those lists show US jobs; the run's summary names the place each list showed jobs for. - Built In's lists stop at 1,000 pages, and big lists are shown ranked rather than newest first; use **Posted within** for the newest jobs. - `postedAt` is as precise as Built In's label (hours, days, then months); `details.datePosted` gives the date. - One request a second, one IP, no proxy: a run of 100 jobs with details takes about two minutes. ### Is it legal to scrape Built In? This Actor reads only public pages anyone can open without an account, follows Built In's robots.txt on every request, and asks at a gentle pace. It collects job postings and company profiles, not personal data about applicants. Built In's terms restrict automated access; you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the laws and terms that apply to you. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Built In. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Skills or roles as people write them, e.g. Python, Java, DevOps, Data Science, Backend Developer, Product Manager, Account Executive. A keyword Built In has a page of its own for (about 300 skills and roles) is read through that page; any other keyword is looked for in the job titles and top skills of the categories below (or of every job). Built In's free-text search is closed to crawlers by its robots.txt, so it is never used. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Built In's job categories, read whole when no keyword is given, and the place where a keyword without a page of its own is looked for. ## `subcategories` (type: `array`): Narrower lists inside a category, as Built In's filter panel offers them. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Remote, Hybrid, or a US city or state. The 71 metro areas Built In keeps lists for (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Washington DC…) are read through those lists; any other place (New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, Denver, or a state such as Texas) is kept from the national list by each job's locations. Each keyword or category is searched in each location. Leave empty for the whole US. ## `jobListUrls` (type: `array`): Pages of Built In's job board, e.g. https://builtin.com/jobs/remote/dev-engineering or https://builtin.com/jobs/atlanta/engineering, each read as it is (its page number dropped). Links robots.txt closes, such as keyword searches (?search=), give a free row and are not read. Job pages are not taken. ## `companyUrls` (type: `array`): Company profiles, e.g. https://builtin.com/company/block-inc: one company row each (employees, product and tech employees, offices, founding year, website, industries, open jobs by department). ## `postedWithin` (type: `string`): Only jobs posted or reposted in the last days, through Built In's own New Jobs filter. Combine with a schedule and Only new jobs for a daily feed. ## `workModes` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs whose card shows one of these work modes. Empty keeps every mode. ## `seniorities` (type: `array`): Keep only jobs at these levels, as Built In labels them. ## `minYearlySalary` (type: `integer`): Only jobs whose published pay reaches this much a year (hourly pay counted at 2,080 hours, monthly times twelve). Jobs without a published salary are left out when this is set. ## `onlyWithSalary` (type: `boolean`): Leave out jobs whose card shows no salary. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each job's page for the full description, posting and expiry dates, employment type, exact salary and currency, every location with coordinates, benefits, required skills and the company's size. Charged as job-with-details instead of job. ## `includeCompanies` (type: `boolean`): Add one row per company of the jobs delivered (once per run): total and product + tech employees, offices, founding year, website, industries, workplace and open jobs by department. Charged as company. ## `maxJobsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Stop each search after this many jobs. 0 means every job the list shows. ## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`): Deliver, and charge, only jobs that an earlier run with the same searches and filters has not delivered. Made for scheduled runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [], "subcategories": [ "engineering/software-engineering" ], "locations": [ "Remote" ], "jobListUrls": [], "companyUrls": [], "postedWithin": "any", "workModes": [], "seniorities": [], "onlyWithSalary": false, "includeDetails": true, "includeCompanies": false, "maxJobsPerSearch": 20, "onlyNewJobs": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `jobs` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/ECQxJJmweScyYrQfi/builds/NoYr6xd2OEe8xxkN6/openapi.json
