FAQ

Is this an alternative to a LinkedIn or Indeed jobs scraper? Yes, and a safer one. Most jobs you see on LinkedIn and Indeed are first published on the employer’s own career site (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and the other ATS this Actor reads), so you get the same openings from the original source, usually earlier and with the full description, salary range and direct apply link. No LinkedIn or Indeed account, cookies, proxies or login are needed, nothing is scraped from those sites, and there are no blocked runs or duplicated reposts. This Actor is not affiliated with LinkedIn or Indeed.

Which companies count as startups? Companies whose careers site runs on an ATS that startups and tech companies use (Ashby, Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, Recruitee, Rippling, Pinpoint, Breezy HR, Teamtailor, Personio, BambooHR, Jobvite). Large enterprises on Workday, Oracle or SmartRecruiters are left out; use the Job Search Scraper: All Company Career Sites to include them.

How is a company marked as Y Combinator? By matching it, by exact name, to YC’s public company directory (via the open yc-oss dataset). Big-enterprise ATS are never matched, so common names are not mistaken for YC startups.

How fresh are the results? Titles are indexed daily and every matching job is fetched live from the company’s career site at run time.

Is it legal? It reads public job postings that companies publish for anyone to see, through each ATS’s public job board endpoints. No login and no personal data.

Limitations

Use it from your code, AI agents and automations

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("richiedc95/startup-jobs-search").call(run_input={
    "keywords": [
        "founding engineer"
    ],
    "ycOnly": True,
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "onlyNewJobs": True
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('richiedc95/startup-jobs-search').call({
    "keywords": [
        "founding engineer"
    ],
    "ycOnly": true,
    "postedWithinDays": 7,
    "onlyNewJobs": true
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Get a fresh feed automatically (job boards, dashboards, alerts)

  1. Click Save as a new task with your input (turn on the monitoring option if the Actor has one, so each run returns only new jobs).
  2. Add a schedule to the task (hourly, daily or weekly) under Schedules.
  3. Read the latest results from one stable URL, in the format your tool expects:
https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/<TASK_ID>/runs/last/dataset/items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>&status=SUCCEEDED&format=csv

Use format=json, csv, xlsx, xml or rss. Job-board plugins and spreadsheets can import that URL directly.
