• Some listings have limited salary or equity data, depending on what the employer published.
• Job availability reflects Wellfound's current live listings; historical coverage is limited.

• vs. Wellfound's public API: Wellfound does not offer a public data API. This actor is the structured-data alternative.

FAQ

Do I need a Wellfound account? No. The scraper accesses only publicly visible listings.

What's the optional session cookie for? Wellfound uses strict anti-bot protection. On heavy runs, passing a fresh browser session cookie (sessionCookie) can improve reliability. For small or normal runs, leave it blank.

Which currency are salaries in? Varies — Wellfound displays the salary in the currency the employer listed (USD, INR, GBP, EUR, etc.). The salary_currency field tells you which one.
