Dice Jobs Scraper

Scrape US tech jobs from Dice.com by keyword and location — title, company, location, salary, employment type, posted date, remote flags, and description.

What you get

Dice is one of the largest US tech-focused job boards. This actor turns Dice search results into clean, structured rows so you can build talent pipelines, monitor hiring trends, benchmark compensation, and aggregate listings — no account, no setup. Search by keyword (e.g. "python", "data engineer", "devops") and location (a city, "Remote", or the whole US), set how many results you want, and get a downloadable dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel) you can use right away.

Every job row includes the basics from the listing: title, company, location, salary (when posted), employment type, remote/on-site flag, a short description summary, posted date, and the apply URL. If you want each job's required-skills list, turn on the Scrape Skills option (off by default — it makes runs slower).

Input parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
q	Yes	Job search keyword(s) to look up on Dice (e.g. "python", "data engineer", "devops").
location	No	Location filter (e.g. "United States", "Remote", "New York, NY", "Austin, TX"). Defaults to the whole US.
maxResults	No	Maximum number of job listings to return. Defaults to 5 so a first run is cheap; raise it once you know the query works.
scrapeSkills	No	When on, adds each job's required-skills list. Slower, because it opens every job's detail page. Off by default.

Use cases

• Recruiters and sourcers: Build pipelines of open tech roles by skill, company, and location, and refresh them on a schedule.
• Compensation analysts: Aggregate posted salary ranges by role and market for benchmarking.
• Hiring-trend intelligence: Track which companies are hiring for which skills over time.
• Job-board aggregators and ATS teams: Feed Dice listings into your own board, ATS, or dashboard.
• Founders and operators: Watch a competitor's open tech roles and hiring velocity.

Limitations

• Base listing vs. skills: Each job row includes title, company, location, salary, summary, and remote flag by default. The per-job skills list is opt-in — it only appears when you turn on Scrape Skills, which makes runs slower.
• Salary isn't always there: Many Dice listings don't post a salary. When that happens, the salary field is empty or reads "Depends on Experience".
• US tech focus: Dice is a US-focused tech job board. Coverage outside US tech roles is limited.
• Results vary over time: Available jobs, ordering, and which fields are filled in change by query and from day to day.

Compared to alternatives

The main alternative on the Apify Store is shahidirfan/Dice-Job-Scraper. How this actor differs:

• Cheaper first run. This actor defaults to 5 results, so trying it out costs only a few cents. You scale up once you know the query is right, instead of burning credits on a default of dozens of jobs.
• Optional skills, on your terms. Required-skills extraction is a single toggle you control, so you only pay for the slower per-job step when you actually need it — not on every run.
• Salary-honest output. Salary is included when Dice posts it; when it isn't, you get a clear empty or "Depends on Experience" value instead of a misleadingly blank row.
• Clean, dashboard-ready rows. Structured location object plus a human-readable location string, posted/modified dates, remote and Easy Apply flags, and the direct apply URL in every row.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key? No. Just enter a keyword and location and run it.

How do I get the required skills for each job? Turn on the Scrape Skills toggle. This adds a skills array to each job. It makes runs slower because it opens every job's detail page, so it's best used with a smaller maxResults.

Why is salary missing on some jobs? Many Dice listings simply don't post a salary. In those cases the salary field is empty or reads "Depends on Experience". That reflects what Dice shows.

How many jobs can I get per query? Set maxResults. The actor pages through Dice search results until it hits your limit or runs out of matching jobs.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to re-run any saved input automatically (daily, hourly, etc.).
