## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

### What does Dice Tech Jobs Scraper do?

Dice Tech Jobs Scraper searches Dice.com, the tech and IT job board, and returns clean, structured records for each posting: job title, company, location, employment type, salary, remote status, posted date and a link straight to the listing. Filter by keyword, location, how recently the job was posted and remote only, so a run returns only the postings you actually want. Pricing is per result, so a tight filter keeps a run cheap.

### Data source

Reads Dice.com's public job search results, the same data the search page loads for any visitor with no login required, so postings are current as of the run and typically show up within minutes of being published on Dice.

### Why use it?

- Lead generation for staffing agencies and recruiters tracking new tech openings by client, skill or region.
- Market research on tech hiring demand: which companies are hiring, for what roles, and at what pay.
- Salary benchmarking across job titles, employment types and locations.
- Feeding a job alert, newsletter or internal dashboard with fresh postings instead of checking Dice by hand.

### How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set the keyword, location and filters.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new postings automatically.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `keyword` | Job title, skill or technology to search for, for example "software engineer" or "Java developer". |
| `location` | City, state or country to search near. Defaults to the whole United States. |
| `postedWithinDays` | Only return jobs posted within this many days: any time, last 24 hours, last 3 days or last 7 days. |
| `remoteOnly` | Only return jobs marked as fully remote. |
| `maxResults` | Hard stop for the run. You are billed per result, so this caps the cost. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Apify proxy is recommended for larger runs. |

Example input:

```json
{
    "keyword": "software engineer",
    "location": "United States",
    "postedWithinDays": "7",
    "remoteOnly": false,
    "maxResults": 100
}
```

### Output

Every record has the same shape:

```json
{
    "id": "22297a6e-c311-4b73-adbd-cd91c38b3840",
    "title": "Embedded Software Engineer",
    "company": "Toyota Material Handling North America",
    "location": "Greene, New York, USA",
    "employmentType": "Full-time",
    "salary": "USD 73,840.00 - 94,667.00 per year",
    "postedDate": "2026-09-19T05:20:02Z",
    "url": "https://www.dice.com/job-detail/22297a6e-c311-4b73-adbd-cd91c38b3840",
    "remote": false,
    "workplaceTypes": ["On-Site"],
    "employerType": "Direct Hire",
    "easyApply": true,
    "isFeatured": false,
    "description": "Join our Team as an Embedded Software Engineer! The Role: Join our team developing firmware and software solutions for real-time embedded control systems...",
    "city": "Greene",
    "state": "NY",
    "country": "USA",
    "modifiedDate": "2026-09-19T05:20:02Z",
    "companyLogoUrl": "https://d3qscgr6xsioh.cloudfront.net/vlU18BJURTZy269ZdSHe_logo.jpg?format=webp",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-19T08:36:46.403Z"
}
```

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id` | Stable key (the Dice job GUID), safe for deduplication between runs |
| `title` | Job title |
| `company` | Hiring company or staffing agency name |
| `location` | Display location, or "Remote" for fully remote postings |
| `employmentType` | Full-time, Contract, Third Party, or a combination |
| `salary` | Pay range or rate as published by the poster, or null if not disclosed |
| `postedDate` | When the job was first posted, ISO 8601 |
| `url` | Direct link to the job posting on Dice |
| `remote` | True if the posting is marked fully remote |
| `workplaceTypes` | On-Site, Remote and/or Hybrid, as tagged by the poster |
| `employerType` | Direct Hire, Recruiter or Other |
| `easyApply` | True if candidates can apply without leaving Dice |
| `isFeatured` | True if the poster paid to feature the listing |
| `description` | Job summary as shown in search results, may be truncated |
| `city`, `state`, `country` | Parsed location parts |
| `modifiedDate` | Last time the listing was updated, ISO 8601 |
| `companyLogoUrl` | Company logo image URL |

### Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set `maxResults` to cap any run.

### Limitations

- `description` is the summary Dice shows in search results and may be cut off partway through; the full posting text is on Dice at the `url`.
- Not every posting discloses a salary; `salary` is null when the poster did not publish one.
- Very high `maxResults` values on a broad, unfiltered search will take longer and cost more; narrow with `keyword`, `location` or `postedWithinDays` to keep runs fast and cheap.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** The Actor reads listings Dice publishes for any visitor without a login and stores only the job and company information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.

**Something is missing or broken?** Open an issue in the Issues tab; response time is usually under a day.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
