Dice API: getting tech job postings without the partnership paperwork

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 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOBSPIPE_KEY" \
  -G \
  -d "source=dice" \
  -d "query=security engineer" \
  -d "location=remote"

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”.

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 source_refs.
