## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 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:

```json
{
  "was": "Softwareentwickler",
  "wo": "Berlin",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeDescriptions": true
}
```

### Output

One record per posting:

```json
{
  "id": "10001-1003644689-S",
  "url": "https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/jobsuche/jobdetail/10001-1003644689-S",
  "title": "Softwareentwickler (m/w/d)",
  "company": "ACME GmbH",
  "profession": "Softwareentwickler/in",
  "offerType": "ARBEIT",
  "contractDuration": "UNBEFRISTET",
  "fullTime": true,
  "partTime": false,
  "shiftOrWeekendWork": false,
  "homeOfficePossible": true,
  "salaryPeriod": "JAHRESGEHALT",
  "salaryMin": 42000,
  "salaryMax": 60000,
  "location": { "city": "Berlin", "postalCode": "10115", "region": "BERLIN", "country": "DEUTSCHLAND" },
  "datePublished": "2026-10-09",
  "dateUpdated": "2026-10-09T17:05:06.983",
  "startDate": "2026-10-10",
  "description": "## Ihre Aufgaben\n\n- Entwicklung und Weiterentwicklung..."
}
```

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.

### Try it

**[Open arbeitsagentur-jobs-scraper on the Apify Store](https://apify.com/bibian/arbeitsagentur-jobs-scraper)**

### 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:

```js
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:

```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.
