Data type: Jobs, Automation, Developer Tools
Pricing: $1.80 per 1,000 results (Free plan), from $1.00 on paid plans
Output: Documented below · JSON, CSV, Excel
Inputs: 31 options

Scrape startup jobs from Wellfound.com by keyword, location, role, or remote status. Extract job details, compensation, company badges, and other listing data, with MCP connector export support.

What Wellfound Jobs Scraper can do

Two clear modes. Search mode builds Wellfound location pages for you from a list of location slugs; URL mode reads Wellfound links you paste in: /location/..., /jobs, /role/..., /role/l//, /role/r/ and single job pages (/jobs/-). No manual URL building for search mode.
Full job and company context in every row. Title, role, compensation range, remote status, locations, posting date, plus the company's size, logo, one-line pitch and hiring badges.
Full job description text included whenever Wellfound's own listing data carries it.
Five filters, both modes. Keyword, role keyword, remote-only, require-compensation and actively-hiring-only all apply whether you searched by location or pasted URLs, so a bulk pull still comes back narrowed.
Resume and recurring monitoring. Continue one interrupted run from its run ID, or turn on Incremental mode for a schedule that returns only the jobs that are new, changed, or newly back.
MCP connector export. Send a condensed, human-readable job summary into Notion, Linear, Airtable or Apify connectors while the complete record always stays in the dataset.

Supported input fields
Input	What it controls
`mode`string · required	Search mode builds Wellfound location pages from the locations field. URL mode reads the pasted Wellfound URLs. Choices: search, url
`locations`array	Wellfound location slugs or names. Examples: san-francisco, new-york, london. Each location is searched separately.
`startUrls`array	Paste Wellfound URLs: /location/, /jobs, /role/, /role/l//, /role/r/, or a single job page /jobs/-. www.wellfound.com and angel.co links are accepted. Company pages (/company/...) are not supported. Listing pagination starts at the page in the URL; a job page returns that one job.
`keywords`array	Only keep jobs where at least one keyword appears in the title, company, role, location, badges, compensation, or description text.
`roleKeywords`array	Only keep jobs whose title or primary role contains at least one of these values. Examples: engineer, product, sales.
`remoteOnly`boolean	Only keep jobs marked as remote or with remote configuration data.
`requireCompensation`boolean	Only keep jobs with a compensation value.

More input fields
Input	What it controls
`activelyHiringOnly`boolean	Only keep jobs attached to companies marked as actively hiring in the listing data.
`jobTypes`array	Only keep jobs of these types: full-time, part-time, contract, internship. Leave empty for all.
`experienceLevel`string	Entry = up to 1 year required, mid = 2 to 5 years, senior = 6+ years (from the years of experience Wellfound lists). Choices: any, entry, mid, senior
`includeNoExperience`boolean	Only used with an experience level. When on, jobs that list no years of experience are kept.
`minSalary`integer	Keep jobs whose listed pay reaches at least this amount (as listed, in the job's own currency and period). 0 = off.
`maxSalary`integer	Keep jobs whose listed pay starts at or below this amount. 0 = off.
`includeNoSalary`boolean	Only used with a minimum or maximum salary. When on, jobs without a listed salary are kept.
`postedWithinDays`integer	Only keep jobs posted in the last N days. 0 = off.
`includeCompanies`array	Only keep jobs from these companies (Wellfound company slug or exact name).
`excludeCompanies`array	Drop jobs from these companies (Wellfound company slug or exact name).
`companySize`array	Only keep jobs from companies in these size bands, e.g. 1-10, 11-50, 51-200, 201-500, 501-1000, 1001-5000, 5001+.
`sortBy`string	Wellfound has no sort parameter, so newest/oldest sorts client-side by posted date over the matched jobs collected up to Max items (not the whole site). Default keeps the site order. Choices: default, newest, oldest
`includeJobDetails`boolean	Open each saved job's page for extra fields: benefits, visa sponsorship, relocation, application link, salary period, equity range, experience level, remote policy, company website and industries. Adds one request per saved row; rows still bill once.
`maxItems`integer	Maximum number of matching job rows to save. The run can return fewer rows when the selected location, URL, keyword, and filters match fewer current jobs.
`maxPages`integer	Maximum Wellfound pages to read per location or pasted URL. Leave empty to walk every result page; max items is the primary output cap.
`resumeFromRunId`string	Paste a previous run ID (or dataset ID) from this actor to continue a large job pull without returning or charging for jobs already collected there (matched by jobId). Use this after an interrupted run. For recurring daily monitoring of the same search, use Incremental mode below instead.
`incrementalMode`boolean	Turn this on for daily or recurring monitoring. The first run returns all matching jobs as NEW. Later runs normally return only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED jobs. Turn on "Emit unchanged" or "Emit expired" only when you also want those jobs returned (and billed). State is kept separately for each search/URL and filter setup; use State key when you want to name or deliberately share a monitoring campaign. To continue one specific interrupted run instead, use Resume from a previous run above.
`stateKey`string	Optional. Name this monitoring campaign to keep its state stable, or to deliberately share state across differently-configured runs. Leave empty to let the actor derive a key automatically from the mode/locations/URLs/keywords/filters: different searches then never mix state with each other.
`emitUnchanged`boolean	Off by default. Turn on to also return jobs that have not changed since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. This returns (and bills) extra rows you already have, so leave it off unless you specifically want the full snapshot every run.
`emitExpired`boolean	Off by default. Turn on to also return jobs that were present in a previous run but are no longer found, marked EXPIRED. Only produced once a run has fully scanned the tracked search, not when Max items capped it or when Resume was used. This returns (and bills) extra synthetic rows, so leave it off unless you need expiry tracking.
`ignoreFieldsForChanges`array	Field names that must NOT make a job count as UPDATED, for example noisy counters. Top-level names (e.g. applicantCount) or nested paths (parent.child, parent.). The fields are still returned in every row; they are only left out of the comparison. Scraped time and source page URL are always ignored. Changing this list does not re-flag your saved jobs.
`mcpConnectors`array	Optionally send the scraped jobs into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify > Settings > API & Integrations, then select it here. Notion gets a page-per-job export; other connectors receive a best-effort write or digest. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion (https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), Linear (https://mcp.linear.app/sse), Airtable (https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp), Apify (https://mcp.apify.com).
`notionParentPageUrl`string	URL or id of the Notion page under which job pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors.
`maxNotifyListings`integer	Cap on how many jobs are written to each selected connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

Questions about this actor

What data does Wellfound Jobs Scraper return?

The documented output for Wellfound Jobs Scraper includes job title, change type (incremental mode), company, role, type, compensation, locations and remote. Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.

How much does Wellfound Jobs Scraper cost?

It costs $1.80 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.00 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.

Can I get only new or changed jobs on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only new, updated and (once eligible) reappeared jobs, and unchanged ones are not billed unless you turn emitUnchanged on.

What's the difference between Resume and Incremental mode?

Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one specific interrupted run from a pasted ID; it is a one-time delta against that one dataset. Incremental mode remembers state itself and is for running the exact same search again and again on a schedule. Use Resume after a run was cut off; use Incremental mode for recurring monitoring. Mixing the two only works to bootstrap a brand-new monitoring campaign; if that state key already has saved history, the run fails rather than guessing which one you meant.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push job summaries into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
