How much does it cost to scrape Jobware.de jobs?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small start fee plus a per-job result fee. The exact live prices are shown on the Apify actor page before you run it.

To keep first runs affordable, the default input is capped at 100 jobs and proxy use is disabled.

Input options

Keywords

Use keywords for role names, skills, industries, or German search phrases, for example:

{
  "keywords": ["data analyst", "software engineer"],
  "location": "Berlin",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Location

Use location for a city or region. Jobware may also return remote or multi-city listings if they match the search.

Start URLs

You can paste Jobware search URLs instead of keywords:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.jobware.de/jobsuche?jw_jobname=controller&jw_jobort=Hamburg" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Full details

Set includeDetails to true to fetch each detail endpoint and add the full description, canonical URL, expiry date, and richer company data. Turn it off for faster search-only runs.

Proxy notes

The actor normally works without proxy because Jobware's public search APIs are reachable anonymously. If a run is blocked from your environment, enable Apify Proxy in the input.

Performance

The actor uses sequential pagination and lightweight HTTP requests. This keeps memory and compute cost low while avoiding unnecessary pressure on the target site.

Limitations

• It extracts public Jobware.de data only.
• It cannot access private applicant portals or external employer application pages.
• Some optional fields, such as salary ranges, are populated only when Jobware provides them.
• Search relevance and availability are controlled by Jobware.de.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly available Jobware.de job listing data. You are responsible for using the data lawfully, respecting Jobware.de terms, privacy rules, and applicable regulations such as GDPR. Avoid collecting or storing personal data unless you have a lawful basis.

Is it legal to scrape Jobware.de?

The legality depends on your use case, jurisdiction, and compliance process. Use the actor for legitimate business intelligence, labor-market analysis, and job aggregation workflows, and consult your legal team for high-risk use cases.

FAQ

Why did my run return zero jobs?

Your keyword/location combination may not have current Jobware results. Try a broader keyword, remove the location, or paste a Jobware search URL that returns visible results in your browser.

Why are employment types empty for some records?

Jobware does not expose every optional field for every listing. The actor keeps the schema stable and leaves missing optional arrays empty.

Can I scrape company profile pages?

This version focuses on job listings and detail records. Company profile scraping can be added later if there is enough demand.

Can I schedule monitoring?

Yes. Use Apify schedules to run the actor daily or weekly, then compare results by jobId or businessReference.
