Dice Job Scraper

Scrapes US tech jobs from Dice.com — the board recruiters actually use to fill engineering, data and infrastructure roles.

Most Dice scrapers hand you the search listing: a title, a company, a location and a summary cut off mid-sentence. This one also opens each job's own page, so you get the complete description, the skills Dice tagged the posting with, and a salary parsed into numbers instead of a string you have to clean up yourself.

No login, no API key, no proxy configuration to think about.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
searchTerms	array	[]	Keywords, one search per term. Leave empty to scrape the whole board — Dice serves about 104,000 live US jobs with no keyword at all.
location	string	—	Free text, geocoded by Dice: New York, NY, USA, Texas, USA, 94105, or Remote. Empty searches the whole United States.
radiusMiles	integer	30	How far from location to search. Ignored when no location is set.
postedWithinDays	select	any time	1, 3 or 7. See the note below on why there is no 30-day option.
employmentType	select	any	Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Third party.
employerType	select	any	Direct hire (the employer posted it) or Recruiter (a staffing agency did).
remoteOnly	boolean	false	Dice's own Remote workplace filter.
easyApplyOnly	boolean	false	Jobs you can apply to inside Dice.
willingToSponsorOnly	boolean	false	Employers who marked the posting as willing to sponsor a visa.
sortBy	select	relevance	relevance or datePosted (newest first).
includeDescription	boolean	false	Also opens each job's page for the full description and the skills list. One extra request per job.
maxResults	integer	200	Stop after this many jobs.
onlyNewJobs	boolean	false	Return only jobs no previous run has delivered.

Watch out for these (they are Dice's limits, not ours)

One search stops at 10,000 jobs. Dice refuses to page past its 10,000th result for any single query — and it reports that refusal as an HTTP 429 with a message about crawling, which looks like a rate limit but is a fixed ceiling. To go deeper, split the work: several searchTerms, or the same term across several location values. A run that hits the ceiling says so in the run summary rather than failing.

Dice only offers 1, 3 and 7 day windows. There is no 14- or 30-day filter on Dice, and sending one makes Dice quietly return the unfiltered board instead of erroring. That is why postedWithinDays has three options: a fourth would be a lie. The same goes for the other filters — anything Dice would silently swallow is rejected here with a warning in the log, so a filtered run is really filtered.

workFromHome is not the same thing as remoteOnly. Dice keeps two separate concepts: the Remote workplace type that remoteOnly filters on, and a per-posting work-from-home flag. Of 200 jobs Dice returned for its own Remote filter, 195 carried the work-from-home flag as false. We report the raw flag under its own name rather than pretending they are one field.

Salary is not always a number. Roughly two thirds of Dice postings carry a salary, and some of those say Depends on Experience or To define rather than a figure. Those rows keep salaryText and leave salaryMin/salaryMax null instead of inventing a number.

Dice is a United States board. For the same query it serves about 104,000 US jobs, 95 Canadian and 1 British. There is no country input because there is nothing outside the US worth offering.

Monitoring a search

Turn on onlyNewJobs and put the Actor on a schedule. It remembers every job it has delivered and returns only the ones it has not, then stops as soon as a page holds nothing new — so a daily run bills you for the day's new postings and nothing else. Pair it with sortBy: datePosted and postedWithinDays: 1 for a clean daily feed.

The memory persists across runs of the same Actor or Task. Running it as a saved Task and running it directly keep separate histories.

Ready-made searches

Each of these is a saved task you can run as-is or copy and edit:

Task	What it returns
Python jobs in New York	Python roles within 30 miles of NYC
Remote software engineer jobs	Everything Dice flags as Remote
Data engineer jobs in San Francisco	Data engineering around the Bay
DevOps jobs posted today	Last 24 hours, newest first
Contract developer jobs in Texas	Contract roles with hourly rates
Visa sponsorship tech jobs	Employers offering sponsorship
Jobs with full descriptions and skills	The complete description plus skills
New jobs since the last run	Delta mode on a daily schedule

Pricing

Pay per result: you are charged for each job returned, and nothing else. A run that Dice answers with no matches costs nothing.

FAQ

Do I need a Dice account? No. Nothing here is behind a login.

Can I get the applicant's or recruiter's contact details? No. Dice does not publish them, and this Actor does not guess at them.

Why is summary shorter than descriptionText? summary is what Dice's search API returns and it is truncated at roughly 500 characters. The full text needs includeDescription, which opens the job's own page.

Some jobs come back with an empty skills list. Those postings genuinely have no skills tagged on Dice — we checked the pages. How many carry them depends on the query: 37 of 40 on a python search, 41 of 60 on machine learning.

How fresh is the data? Live. Each run queries Dice at the moment it runs; postedDate and modifiedDate come straight from Dice.
