Y Combinator Jobs Scraper: every YC startup job with salary, equity and visa

Get every open job on Y Combinator's Work at a Startup board as clean rows: title, role, location and remote flag, salary range as numbers (with currency and pay period), equity range in percent, visa line, minimum experience, posting age, plus the company's YC batch, team size, industries, website and LinkedIn page. Filter by role, job title words, location, job type, visa, salary, experience, posting date or YC batch, or list the companies you care about.

Run it daily in only-new mode and you get a feed of YC jobs you have not seen before.

$1.25 per 1,000 jobs (Free plan; less on paid plans), platform usage included. Full descriptions cost nothing extra. No login.

Why this one

The role pages on ycombinator.com/jobs show at most 39 postings each (5 of the 20 open legal jobs on 2026-10-25). This actor reads YC's own jobs sitemap and then every hiring company's job list, so a run can return the whole board: 6,416 open jobs at about 1,700 companies on 2026-10-25.

What you get that the board pages don't give you:

• the whole board, or only the companies you list;
• salary and equity as numbers (salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryPeriod, equityMinPercent, equityMaxPercent), ready to sort and filter;
• company facts on every row: YC batch, team size, industries, website, LinkedIn, location and status;
• filters for role, title words, location, remote, job type, visa, minimum USD salary, experience, posting date and YC batch;
• an only-new monitor mode where a quiet day costs only the run start.

Examples

Remote engineering jobs that sponsor visas and pay at least $150K:

{ "roles": ["eng"], "remoteOnly": true, "visa": "sponsors", "minSalaryUsd": 150000, "maxResults": 500 }

A daily feed of new sales and marketing jobs at Winter and Summer 2025 startups:

{ "roles": ["sales", "marketing"], "batches": ["W25", "S25"], "onlyNew": true, "maxResults": 1000 }

Every open job at a few companies, with descriptions:

{ "companies": ["whatnot", "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/astranis"], "includeDescription": true, "maxResults": 1000 }

Pricing

$1.25 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($1.125 Bronze, $1.00 Silver, $0.875 Gold), plus $0.005 per run to start. Platform usage is included and descriptions cost nothing extra. Filters or companies with no matching jobs cost nothing beyond the run start, and so does an only-new run with nothing new. You can cap spend with Apify's maximum-charge setting: the run stops cleanly when it is reached.

FAQ

Do I need a Y Combinator or Work at a Startup account? No. The actor reads the public job pages ycombinator.com shows to visitors who are not logged in. Applying to a job (the applyUrl) needs a free Work at a Startup account.

How many jobs are there? About 6,400 open jobs at about 1,700 companies on 2026-10-25. A run over the whole board reads every hiring company's page, which takes about 3 minutes. Narrow filters such as one role read the whole board too, because YC publishes no role index; title keywords are faster, since YC's sitemap already carries every job title and only matching companies are opened.

How does only-new mode work? The actor keeps the IDs of jobs it delivered, filtered out or saw closed in a key-value store named yc-jobs-scraper-monitor in your account, one memory per set of filters and companies. The next run reads YC's jobs sitemap and opens only the companies that list a job it has not settled yet, so a day with nothing new costs only the run start. A new job therefore reaches the feed once YC's sitemap lists it. Delete the store to start over.

Why is the salary empty on some rows? About 1 in 5 postings shows no salary (1,327 of 6,416 on 2026-10-25). When one does, you get it as numbers with its currency and pay period.

Why is the posting date approximate? YC shows how long ago a job was posted in words (17 days, about 1 month, over 1 year), not a date. postedDateApprox turns that into a day; updatedDate is the exact last-modified date from YC's sitemap.

Why no hiring manager or founder names? They are private people. This actor delivers jobs and company facts only.

Why fewer jobs than I asked for? The run status says why: the board ran out of matches, a filter dropped the rest (with counts per filter), a company was not found, or the run time limit stopped it.
