Dice.com Jobs Search Scraper: Extract Tech Job Listings at Scale

---

What Is Dice.com?

Dice.com is one of the largest technology-focused job platforms in the United States, connecting IT professionals with employers across software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and more. With thousands of new listings posted daily, manually extracting job data is impractical. The Dice.com Jobs Search Scraper automates collection directly from search result pages, delivering structured records ready for analysis or integration.

---

Overview

The Dice Jobs Scraper targets Dice.com search result URLs and extracts all visible job cards per page. It is built for:

• Tech recruiters monitoring market demand and competitor postings
• Salary researchers aggregating compensation data by role or location
• Developers feeding data into job boards or recommendation engines
• HR analysts tracking remote work trends in the tech sector

Key features include configurable result limits, fault-tolerant URL handling, and support for any Dice search query — by keyword, location, radius, and pagination.

Input Format

The Actor supports two scraping modes — use only one at a time:

1. Scrape by URLs — scrape data directly from a list of Dice.com job search result URLs.

{
  "urls": ["https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=python&radius=30&radiusUnit=mi&page=2"],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

2. Scrape by search filters — scrape data using a keyword and additional filters (location, radius, employment type, etc.) instead of providing URLs.

{
    "keyword": "python",
    "location": "abc",
    "radius": "10",
    "employment_type": "FULLTIME",
    "workplace_type": "Hybrid",
    "published_at": "SEVEN",
    "page": 1,
    "max_items_per_url": 200
}

There is also a General settings group that applies to both modes.

1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific search result URLs. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	(required)	One or more Dice.com job search result URLs to scrape. Supports any query parameters (q, radius, page, etc.). You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs.

Tip: Use the page parameter in your URL to paginate through results (e.g., &page=1, &page=2). Combine multiple page URLs in the urls array for full result coverage.

2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword and additional filter attributes instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the urls field above empty.

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	—	The keyword to search for.
location	string	—	The location to search for (City, Postal Code, State).
radius	string ("", 10, 30, 50, 75)	—	Search radius in kilometers around the location: No preference, 10 km, 30 km, 50 km, 75 km.
employment_type	string ("", fullTime, partTime, contract, thirdParty, internship)	—	Employment type: All, Full time, Part time, Contract, Third Party, Internship.
workplace_type	string ("", remote, hybrid, onsite)	—	Workplace type: All, Remote, Hybrid, On-Site.
published_at	string ("", NO_PREFERENCE, ONE, THREE, SEVEN)	—	Filter by publish date: All, No preference, Today, Last 3 days, Last 7 days.
page	integer	—	The page number to start scraping from.

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20	The maximum number of job listings to collect per URL/search. Useful for capping large result sets.

How to Use

1. Build your search URL — Go to Dice.com, run a job search with your desired filters (keyword, location, radius), and copy the URL from your browser.
2. Paginate if needed — Append &page=N to collect results beyond page 1. Add each page URL to the urls array.
3. Set item limit — Use max_items_per_url to control how many records are collected per URL (max typically aligns with Dice's results-per-page count).
4. Enable fault tolerance — Keep ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs.
5. Export — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel for use in spreadsheets, databases, or BI tools.

Common issues:

• If results appear empty, verify the URL returns results when opened in a browser.
• Pagination URLs must be valid search pages — avoid linking to job detail pages.
