Dice Jobs Scraper

Export public Dice tech job listings by keyword, location, or Dice search URL, including job titles, companies, locations, salaries, work models, descriptions, skills, and job links.

Use this Actor when you need a repeatable CSV, JSON, Excel, API, or AI-agent export of Dice job data for recruiting intelligence, hiring-market research, lead generation, or job monitoring.

What Does Dice Jobs Scraper Do?

Dice Jobs Scraper turns Dice search results into a structured dataset.

• Search by keyword and location: query Dice for roles such as software engineer, Java developer, cybersecurity analyst, data scientist, or cloud architect.
• Use Dice search URLs: paste one or more Dice /jobs URLs when you already have a filtered search.
• Collect job details: export titles, companies, locations, salary text, workplace types, posting dates, summaries, and job URLs.
• Optionally open detail pages: include fuller descriptions and detected skills when you enable includeDetails.
• Export anywhere: download from Apify as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or connect through the Dataset API.

Input Example

{
  "query": "python developer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "radius": 20,
  "radiusUnit": "mi",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "pageSize": 20,
  "includeDetails": false
}

You can also paste Dice search URLs:

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=data%20engineer&location=Remote&radius=20&radiusUnit=mi&page=1&pageSize=20"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Output Example

{
  "id": "123456",
  "title": "Senior Python Developer",
  "companyName": "Example Tech",
  "location": "Remote",
  "isRemote": true,
  "workplaceTypes": ["Remote"],
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "postedAt": "2026-07-01T00:00:00.000Z",

  "easyApply": true,
  "detailsPageUrl": "https://www.dice.com/job-detail/example",
  "summary": "Build backend services and data pipelines.",
  "skills": ["Python", "AWS", "SQL"],
  "description": "Full description when includeDetails is enabled.",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=python%20developer&location=Remote",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-07T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Tips For Better Results

• Start small: test with maxItems set to 10-20 before scheduling larger runs.
• Use specific keywords: python developer, data engineer, or cloud architect usually produces cleaner data than broad words.
• Turn on details only when needed: includeDetails gives richer descriptions and skills but opens more pages.
• Use start URLs for complex searches: configure filters on Dice, copy the search URL, and paste it into startUrls.
• Expect missing salaries: many Dice listings do not publish salary text.

API usage

Run Dice Jobs Scraper from your own code with the Apify API.

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const input = {
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "radius": 20,
  "radiusUnit": "mi",
  "maxItems": 20
};

const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/dice-jobs-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/dice-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Remote",
  "radius": 20,
  "radiusUnit": "mi",
  "maxItems": 20
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

cURL

Example prompts

• "Run Dice Jobs Scraper with this input JSON and summarize the dataset."
• "Export the latest Dice Jobs Scraper results to a table I can review."
• "Schedule this Actor for monitoring and tell me what changed between runs."

Limits And Notes

• The Actor extracts public Dice data; it does not bypass login-only or private content.
• Dice may omit salary, skills, employer type, or full description for some listings.
• Larger runs and includeDetails can take longer because more pages are requested.
• Search result counts can change quickly as Dice updates its listings.

Support

Report bugs, wrong output, blocked runs, or missing fields from the Actor page. Include the Apify run ID or run URL, your input JSON, what you expected, what the Actor returned, and one reproducible public URL so the issue can be tested quickly.
