Why this instead of a per-site scraper

• Batch filter — target the newest batches (startups that just raised) or established YC alumni.
• Salary ranges and equity-era startups: many YC postings publish pay.
• Sales & recruiting signal: which YC startups are hiring, for what, and how fast.
• Matched by website domain or YC slug against the public YC company list (6,000+ companies); name-only matches are used only for unique, distinctive names.
• Source = the employer's own careers page, not a reposting aggregator — fewer duplicates and stale ads.
• 97% of jobs have an ISO country code, even when the posting only says "Austin, TX".

Example inputs

Engineering jobs at the newest batches:

{"titleKeywords": ["engineer"], "ycBatches": ["W26", "X26", "S26"]}

Remote jobs at any YC company:

{"workplaceType": "remote"}

Go-to-market hires at YC startups (sales prospecting):

{"titleKeywords": ["account executive", "growth", "marketing", "sales"], "includeDescription": false, "maxResults": 2000}

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs returned (+ a tiny per-run start fee). Set maxResults and your run's spending limit to control cost. Turn off includeDescription for lighter, faster results.
