# Wellfound Startup Jobs Finder with Pay & Remote Filters

Use this skill to fetch Wellfound data with the Apify Actor `nimbryxo-studio/wellfound-startup-jobs-finder-with-pay-and-remote` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | one of `auto`, `search`, `startUrls`, `companies`, required | Auto uses startUrls when provided, otherwise role/location search. Search ignores startUrls. Scrape URLs requires at least one start URL. Companies reads the /startups directory. |
| `startUrls` | array | Jobs: /jobs, /role/{role}, /role/l/{role}/{location}, /role/r/{role}, /location/{location}, /remote, /jobs/{id}-{slug} and /job-collections/{slug}. Companies: /startups, /startups/location/{location} and /startups/industry/{industry}. |
| `remoteOnly` | boolean | Search /remote or /role/r/{role} and keep only jobs flagged as remote. |
| `includeNoSalary` | boolean | Only applies when minSalary or maxSalary is set. When false, jobs with no parsed salary are dropped. |
| `ycOnly` | boolean | Keep rows where the YC Funded badge is present. |
| `visaSponsorshipOnly` | boolean | Keep jobs whose detail page says visa sponsorship is available. Requires detail enrichment; unknown values are dropped. |
| `equityOnly` | boolean | Keep jobs that explicitly offer equity; jobs that say No equity or do not mention equity are dropped. |
| `remoteWfhFlexible` | boolean | Keep jobs whose remote configuration explicitly reports work-from-home flexibility. Requires detail enrichment; unknown values are dropped. |
| `enrichDetails` | boolean | Fetch plain and autoOpen detail pages for selected jobs to add description HTML, structured salary/equity, visa/relocation, skills, company funding, founders, socials and benefits. Direct job URLs are always enriched. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum jobs or companies pushed after all filters and sorting. |
| `onlyNew` | boolean | Push only jobs or companies whose IDs have not been seen for this stateKey. Requires stateKey. |
| `expandSimilar` | boolean | Add related jobs from the autoOpen detail page similarJobs edges, bounded by similarDepth and similarLimit. Only applies to job modes. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "auto",
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://wellfound.com/jobs"
    }
  ],
  "remoteOnly": false,
  "includeNoSalary": true,
  "ycOnly": false,
  "visaSponsorshipOnly": false,
  "equityOnly": false,
  "remoteWfhFlexible": false,
  "enrichDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "onlyNew": false,
  "expandSimilar": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~wellfound-startup-jobs-finder-with-pay-and-remote/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~wellfound-startup-jobs-finder-with-pay-and-remote/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `type`, `jobId`, `title`, `slug`, `jobUrl`, `description`, `descriptionHtml`, `compensation`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod`, `equityMin`, `equityMax`, `equityOffered`, `remote`, `remoteKind`, `remoteWfhFlexible`, `locations`, `acceptedRemoteLocations`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
