Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper · No Login

Extract German job postings (plus EURES-partner listings, for example from Austria) from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit's own public Jobsuche API: title, company, location, salary when disclosed, contract type and full description. No login, no browser, no API key to request.

What you can do with it

• Search Germany's official job database directly. The same public API the arbeitsagentur.de website itself calls, with a real page/size pagination over more than a million active postings.
• Filter by job title and place of work. was and wo map straight onto the site's own search fields.
• Track salary disclosure. salaryMin/salaryMax/salaryPeriod carry the employer's own published figures, when they choose to publish them.
• Feed a job alert or aggregator. Every posting comes with a stable reference number and a public URL for deduplication across runs.

Input

Field	What it does
was	Free-text search on the job title or profession, for example Softwareentwickler. Empty means every posting.
wo	Free-text search on the place of work, for example Berlin. Empty means every location.
maxItems	The run stops once this many postings are saved (default 50).
includeDescriptions	Fetch each posting's own detail record for the full description and salary range, when disclosed (default on; one extra request per posting).

Example input:

{
  "was": "Softwareentwickler",
  "wo": "Berlin",
  "maxItems": 50,

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

Why this one

• The official source, read directly. No scraping of rendered HTML: this Actor calls the same documented JSON API (also catalogued on the community-run bundesAPI/jobsuche-api project) the Bundesagentur's own site uses.
• Named contacts actually removed. The raw description is sometimes hard-wrapped across lines with a named recruiter's e-mail or phone mid-sentence; this Actor cuts the whole sentence that carries one, not just the matching word, sentence punctuation rather than line breaks.
• No browser, no proxy, no login. A handful of lightweight JSON requests per run.

Good to know

• Some results are postings mirrored from an EURES partner board (for example Austria's AMS); their url points at that partner's own page instead of arbeitsagentur.de.
• Most German postings do not disclose a salary; salaryMin/salaryMax/salaryPeriod stay empty or "KEINE_ANGABEN" when that is the case.
• A sentence that carries an e-mail address or a German phone number is dropped from the description.
• The dataset contains job postings only. Recruiter and candidate personal data is never exported.
• This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Check the terms that apply to your use.

FAQ

Does it work without was or wo? Yes. Leave both empty for a productive default run across the newest postings nationwide.

Does it need a browser or a proxy? No. It calls the public Jobsuche JSON API directly.

Why does one posting sometimes point to a different website? A posting published through the EURES partner network (for example from Austria) keeps its own partner URL as the canonical link instead of an arbeitsagentur.de page.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.20 per 1,000 postings, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 postings cost about $0.12. You only pay for the postings you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

Run it from your code

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/arbeitsagentur-jobs-scraper').call({
  was: 'Softwareentwickler',
  wo: 'Berlin',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/arbeitsagentur-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "was": "Softwareentwickler",
    "wo": "Berlin",
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for Arbeitsagentur? No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

How do I get only the new postings every day? Save a task, set its publication date filter to the shortest window, and schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the id field if you keep your own copy.

Which formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from the dataset page or through the API.

Can I connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets? Yes, through Apify integrations and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape? The actor collects publicly visible postings and respects the robots.txt rules of the site. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the site's terms and the laws that apply to you, for example the GDPR.

Something does not work? Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

Did this save you time? A short review on the Store page helps other people find the actor, and tells me what to improve next.
