Startup Jobs Scraper (startup.jobs)

Collect job postings from startup.jobs, a board with well over 100,000 open roles at startups. Search by keyword, city radius, state or country, and company. Filter the same way the site does: remote, hybrid or on-site, employment type, years of experience, posting date, and salary converted to US dollars. The output is a clean table, and you can add full job descriptions if you want them.

• No login, no cookies. Add keywords and filters, then press Start.
• Goes past the 500-result limit. The site stops a search at 500 results. This actor splits a big search into small time slices and pages through each one, so you can pull every matching job, including whole days or weeks of new postings.
• Salary you can compare. You get each salary in its original currency and interval, plus a US-dollar-per-year minimum and maximum you can sort and filter on.
• Real locations. A city is searched within a radius you choose. States, provinces and countries use their exact borders, so "Canada" means jobs located in Canada.
• Full descriptions on request. You can add the description as plain text and HTML, the closing date, the company website, which countries applicants may apply from, and the occupation category. Descriptions need Apify's unblocker proxy group on your plan; without it, jobs are saved without descriptions and descriptions are not charged.
• Fast. A few thousand jobs take well under a minute when descriptions are off.

FAQ

How many jobs can I get? All of them. A single search on the site stops at 500 results. This actor keeps going by splitting the search into time slices, so a broad search can return tens of thousands of jobs. Use Max jobs to control the size of a run.

Why do some jobs have no salary or experience level? Not every employer shares them. hasSalary tells you which jobs have a salary. The experience filter only matches jobs that state one, so it narrows results a lot.

How does "Posted within" work? It uses the posting date shown on startup.jobs. Some employers only give a date, so their posts count from midnight UTC. publishedAt and postedDaysAgo are on every row.

What order do results come in? Searches up to 500 jobs come back in the site's own ranking. Bigger searches come back newest first, one time slice at a time.

Do I need a proxy? Apify's datacenter proxy, which every plan includes, is the default and is enough for search. If the datacenter IPs get rate limited, the actor switches to residential IPs by itself when your plan has them. Full descriptions are the exception: job pages only open through Apify's unblocker proxy group, which the actor picks for you.

What if my Apify plan doesn't include the unblocker proxy? Search results work as usual. If you turn on Include full job descriptions, the actor checks your plan at the start of the run; without the unblocker group every job is still saved with all its search fields, descriptionFetched is false, descriptions are not charged, and the status message says what to enable in Apify Console → Proxy.

What happens if startup.jobs is slow or down? The run still finishes normally. Every request is retried on fresh IPs with backoff, and the actor switches proxy type by itself when one keeps failing. If the site stays unreachable, the run ends with a clear status message and whatever it collected. You are never charged for jobs that were not saved to your dataset. If a run nears its time limit, it saves what it has and finishes with a "Partial" message instead of timing out.

I copied my input from another job scraper. Will it work? Usually, yes. Common spellings such as keywords, location, maxResults, limit, datePosted and jobType are understood as well as the names above.

What if a job page cannot be opened? The job is still saved with all its search fields, descriptionFetched is false, and there is no description charge for it.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Create a task with your input and schedule it daily. Add "postedWithin": "24h" to get only new jobs each time.

Is there an API? Yes. Like every Apify actor, you can start it and read the results over the Apify API, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack and more.

Is it legal to scrape startup.jobs? This actor collects only public data: job postings that startup.jobs shows to every visitor without logging in, which employers publish so that people will see them. Full descriptions are written by employers and can sometimes include a recruiter's name or a contact email. If you store that kind of personal information, handle it under the privacy laws that apply to you, such as GDPR, PIPEDA or CCPA. Use the data in line with startup.jobs' terms of use, and check with a lawyer if you are unsure about your use case. For background, see Apify's guide Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. It needs no account, login or cookies. It reads only what anyone can see on startup.jobs without signing in: the site's public job search and public job pages. It never sees applicant data, employer dashboards or anything else behind a login.
