❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many jobs can I extract? A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited.

Q: Do I need a Dice account or API key? A: No — just a keyword and location, or a search URL.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: Can I filter by remote, salary or date? A: Yes — filter by remote, employment type, posting date, visa sponsorship and Easy Apply, and sort by newest.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check your keyword spelling and broaden the location (try United States)
• Remove restrictive filters (e.g. last-1-day + remote-only + sponsorship)

Fewer results than expected on FREE

• FREE is capped at 25 jobs per run — upgrade for unlimited

Detail mode is slower

• Detail fetches one page per job for the full description; use Overview for bulk lists

You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
