# Dice Scraper (`deltaspider/dice-scraper`) Actor Automatically and efficiently scrape Dice.com job postings - **URL**: https://apify.com/deltaspider/dice-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [delta spider](https://apify.com/deltaspider) (community) - **Categories:** Jobs, Lead generation, Automation - **Stats:** 44 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $10.00/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period.You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README Automatically and efficiently scrape Dice.com job postings ### Input All input fields are optional. - Search term - Search location - Custom URL with your own filters - Maximum number of results (default: 500) Dice supports a lot of filters. To scrape using your own filters, go to dice.com/jobs and choose your filters. Then copy the URL and use it as the input. Use the Apify UI for easy input or the following JSON schema for API integration: ```json { "keyword": "your search term", "location": "New York, NY, USA", "filter_by_url": "https://www.dice.com/jobs?....", "max_results": 500 } ```` ### Output A list of Dice.com postings that match your input criteria.
