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 ## Wellfound (AngelList) Scraper > Scrape startup job listings from Wellfound (formerly AngelList) — titles, companies, salaries, equity, and full descriptions for the startup hiring market. ### What you get Wellfound is the go-to platform for startup hiring. This scraper extracts job titles, company names and taglines, locations, remote flag, salary ranges with currency, equity ranges, company size, and full job descriptions. Filter by role and location. No login needed. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Job title | | `company_name` | Startup name | | `company_slug` | Company URL slug on Wellfound | | `company_tagline` | Company tagline / high concept | | `location` | Job location | | `remote` | Whether the job is remote | | `salary_min` | Minimum salary | | `salary_max` | Maximum salary | | `salary_currency` | Salary currency (USD, INR, GBP, EUR, etc.) | | `equity` | Equity range or "no equity" | | `company_size` | Company size band (e.g., "201-500") | | `job_url` | Wellfound job URL | | `posted_date` | When the job was posted | | `description` | Full job description | ### Example output ```json { "title": "Senior Full Stack Engineer", "company_name": "Notion", "company_slug": "notion", "company_tagline": "The all-in-one workspace", "location": "San Francisco, CA", "remote": false, "salary_min": 160000, "salary_max": 220000, "salary_currency": "USD", "equity": "0.01% - 0.05% equity", "company_size": "201-500", "job_url": "https://wellfound.com/company/notion/jobs/12345-senior-full-stack-engineer", "posted_date": "2026-04-10T00:00:00.000Z", "description": "Join Notion's engineering team to build the next generation..." } ```` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------|----------|-------------| | `roles` | Yes | Job roles to search (URL slugs). Examples: `["software-engineer", "data-scientist", "product-manager", "designer", "marketing"]`. | | `locations` | No | Location filters (URL slugs). Examples: `["india", "remote", "bangalore", "new-york", "london"]`. Use `remote` for remote jobs. Leave empty for all locations. | | `maxResults` | No | Max jobs across all role/location combinations. Default `5`. Range 1-500. | | `proxyConfiguration` | No | Proxy settings. Leave default for best results. | | `sessionCookie` | No | Optional session cookie for higher reliability on heavy runs. Open wellfound.com in your browser and copy the session cookie from DevTools > Application > Cookies. Expires after ~30 minutes. | ### Use cases - **Startup job seekers**: Find roles with salary and equity transparency. - **Recruiters**: Track startup hiring trends and compensation by stage and role. - **Investors**: Monitor portfolio company hiring activity for growth signals. - **Compensation analysts**: Benchmark salary and equity offers across startups. - **Market research**: Study the startup employment market by role, geography, and size. ### Pricing Pay-per-result pricing. Tiered discounts apply automatically based on usage volume. | Tier | Price per result | |------|------------------| | FREE | $0.008 | | BRONZE | $0.006 | | SILVER | $0.005 | | GOLD | $0.004 | ### Limitations - Wellfound is focused on startups and tech — other industries are sparse. - Some listings have limited salary or equity data, depending on what the employer published. - Job availability reflects Wellfound's current live listings; historical coverage is limited. ### Compared to alternatives - **vs. orgupdate/wellfound-scraper** ($0.20/result): 25x cheaper at the base tier, with tiered volume discounts down to $0.004/result. - **vs. Wellfound's public API**: Wellfound does not offer a public data API. This actor is the structured-data alternative. Pairs well with [LinkedIn Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/linkedin-jobs-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) and [Indeed Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/indeed-jobs-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for broader hiring coverage. ### FAQ **Do I need a Wellfound account?** No. The scraper accesses only publicly visible listings. **What's the optional session cookie for?** Wellfound uses strict anti-bot protection. On heavy runs, passing a fresh browser session cookie (`sessionCookie`) can improve reliability. For small or normal runs, leave it blank. **Which currency are salaries in?** Varies — Wellfound displays the salary in the currency the employer listed (USD, INR, GBP, EUR, etc.). The `salary_currency` field tells you which one.
