Use cases

Recruiting and sourcing - build a fresh pipeline of startup openings by role, location and pay
Job-board aggregation - feed startup-specific listings into your own search product or newsletter
Compensation research - compare published salary ranges across roles, companies and markets
Remote-work tracking - monitor remote, hybrid or on-site startup hiring
Market intelligence - follow which roles and skills startups are hiring for right now

Cost and runtime

A warm 2-row prefill finishes in a few seconds; a cold run adds one ~32 s connection setup. A recent-heavy 50-row run measured about $0.084 because 47 of the 50 newest jobs needed a detail-page fallback, while a 500-row keyword slice measured about $0.146 and 39 minutes (492 rows). A 500-row all/remote slice is projected at roughly $0.86-0.88 because nearly every one of the first 500 hits is recent and needs that fallback; older or narrower slices need fewer fallbacks. Closed or temporarily unavailable listings are skipped, so a run can return fewer rows than requested; each skipped candidate gets one bounded re-check, so stale-heavy slices can take longer.

FAQ

Does this actor require login, cookies or an API key? No. It reads publicly visible startup.jobs listings and needs no account or credential.

What does the keyword search match? Job titles, company names and tags, matching the site's own search index. It does not scan the full description text.

Why is salary missing on some jobs? Only some employers publish pay. hasSalary says whether the listing includes it; jobs with no published salary are omitted from salary fields.

Why are some jobs skipped? startup.jobs can keep closed or stale listings in its search index for a while, and individual source requests can fail. The actor checks each candidate against the live source and skips listings that are closed or temporarily unavailable.

How many jobs can I get in one run? Up to 500. The site's search exposes at most 500 matches per query, so use narrower filters to reach different slices of the board.

Why is applyUrl not included? The employer application link is protected by the site's apply flow. The url field opens the job page, where you can apply.

Does the output include equity? startup.jobs does not publish structured equity data, so equity is not a separate field. Equity mentions may appear inside the description.

How fresh is the data? Live. Each run reads startup.jobs at request time; posting dates reflect the original publication date.

Is this affiliated with startup.jobs? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads startup.jobs' public listings.

Do I need to set up a proxy? No. The actor chooses a working connection to startup.jobs automatically. Just fill in the input and run it.
