## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What does the Dice Scraper do?

This Dice crawler walks each search across multiple pages, de-duplicates by Dice's `jobId`, and returns every matching role as a structured record. Give it keywords and locations and export a fresh tech-jobs dataset for your board, CRM or research pipeline.

### What data can you scrape from Dice?

| Data point | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Role | `title`, `employmentType`, `summary` |
| Company | `company` |
| Location | `location` |
| Pay | `salary` |
| Posting | `posted`, `featured` |
| Links | `url` |
| Source | `jobId` |

### What you get

Every job becomes one clean dataset record. Export the full table to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

4. Click **Run** and let it paginate through every search.
5. Export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull them via the Apify API.

### Input

```json
{
  "searches": ["software engineer|Remote", "data scientist|New York, NY"],

}
```

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `searches` | Keyword + optional location as `"keyword|location"`, or a full Dice jobs URL. One per line. |

### FAQ

**Do I need a Dice account or API key?**
No. Just add your search terms or a Dice jobs URL and run — no login or API key.

**How many jobs can I get per run?**
Each Dice search page holds roughly 20 jobs. Use `maxPagesPerSearch` to control how deep it paginates and `maxItems` to cap the total across all your searches.

**Can I filter by location or keyword?**
Yes. Pass `searches` as `"keyword|location"` (e.g. `"software engineer|Remote"`), or drop in a full `dice.com/jobs` URL with the filters you want.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, plus programmatic access through the Apify API.

**How does billing work?**
You pay per item you get, so cost scales with the number of jobs you actually collect. See the **Pricing** tab for current rates.

**Can I connect this to other tools?**
The Dice Jobs Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). It works with [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte), [GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github), [Google Drive](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) and [many more](https://apify.com/integrations), plus the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

**Is scraping Dice legal?**
The scraper only reads publicly available listings that Dice serves to any visitor. You are responsible for reviewing Dice's Terms of Service and your local regulations for your use case.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
