# Dice API: getting tech job postings without the partnership paperwork

Dice's job feed is the gold standard for US tech roles, but the official API is locked to enterprise integrations. Here's the dev-tier alternative - same data, REST endpoint, free tier.

Dice is the dominant US tech-job board (cleared, security-cleared, and specialty IT roles especially), and its job feed is one of the best-curated in the industry. The official “**Dice API**” is partner-only - accessible to enterprise integrations with annual minimums in the five-figure range.

Here’s the dev-tier alternative for getting Dice job data into your product without signing a contract.

## What you get from JobsPipe’s Dice source

```
curl https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/jobs/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer jp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "source_or": ["dice"], "job_title_or": ["security engineer"], "remote": true }'
```

Standard JobsPipe schema: title, company, normalized location, parsed compensation when present, posted\_at, apply\_url pointing back at Dice. The clearance level (if listed by the employer) shows up in the `tags` array - “TS/SCI”, “Secret”, “Public Trust”.

Try it without a key

```
curl -d '{"limit":3}' https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/sandbox/jobs/search
```

Only `/v1/sandbox/*` needs no key.

## Why Dice matters in a unified jobs API

For US tech recruiting (especially defense/intelligence-adjacent), Dice is the source you can’t skip. Most candidates for cleared roles list Dice in their job-search funnel even when they ignore Indeed and Glassdoor. If you’re building a sourcing tool that handles cleared roles, you need this source.

## Combine Dice with Indeed, LinkedIn-equivalent, and Workday

JobsPipe’s cross-source dedup is what makes the multi-source story actually useful - the same job often shows up on Dice and the employer’s Workday tenant simultaneously. Without dedup, your users see triplicates. With it, one canonical record carries both boards under `sources`.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does Dice have a public API for job postings?

Dice's official API is partner-only, accessible to enterprise integrations with annual minimums in the five-figure range, so it is not a self-serve option for most developers. Dice is the dominant US tech job board, especially for cleared, security-cleared, and specialty IT roles, and its job feed is one of the best-curated in the industry, which is why teams keep looking for a way in.

### How can I get Dice job data without an enterprise contract?

JobsPipe offers a dev-tier alternative: query /v1/jobs/search with source\_or set to dice and get Dice postings back in the standard JobsPipe schema. That includes title, company, normalized location, parsed compensation when present, posted\_at, and an apply\_url pointing back at Dice. Clearance level shows up in the tags array when the employer lists it, with values like TS/SCI, Secret, and Public Trust.

### Why does Dice matter if I already index Indeed and Glassdoor?

Dice is the source you cannot skip for US tech recruiting, particularly defense and intelligence-adjacent roles. Most candidates for cleared positions list Dice in their job-search funnel even when they ignore Indeed and Glassdoor. Because the same job often appears on Dice and on the employer's Workday tenant at the same time, cross-source dedup matters: JobsPipe collapses them into one canonical record carrying both boards under sources instead of showing duplicates.
