## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

# README

### What does GermanTechJobs Scraper do?

GermanTechJobs Scraper extracts structured tech-job listings from [germantechjobs.de](https://germantechjobs.de), Germany's salary-transparent IT job board — every posting carries a salary range, the full tech stack, required seniority and company details, one row per job. Filter by technology, seniority, salary, company size and visa sponsorship, and run incrementally to return only new and changed jobs.

### How to use this actor

- 👉 **Register for a free Apify account** — no credit card required.
- 🎉 Just click **[Sign up free on Apify →](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi&fp_sid=ctarich)** and complete a quick signup.
- 💰 A free Apify account includes $5 in monthly credits — enough to test this actor.
- ⏳ Scrape during the free trial, with no commitment or upfront payment required.

### Key features

<!-- KEY_FEATURES:START -->
- **💰 Structured salary** — germanTechJobs mandates a salary range on every posting, so every record ships structured `salaryMin` / `salaryMax` / `salaryCurrency` (EUR) / `salaryType` (yearly) — never a hidden or "competitive" salary to parse around. Filter by `minSalary` to skip everything below your band.
- **🧰 Full tech-role schema** — every listing ships a normalized tech stack (`technologies[]`), seniority (`experienceLevel`), workplace mode (office / remote / hybrid), and a visa-sponsorship flag — parsed into typed fields, not buried in the description. Filter a run by `technologies`, `remoteOnly`, or `minSalary`.
- **♻️ Incremental mode** — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
- **🔔 Notifications** — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + `notifyOnlyChanges` for daily "new Germantechjobs jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
- **📧 Email + phone extraction** — every record carries `extractedEmails[]` and `extractedPhones[]` regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
- **🎯 Batch searches** — batch `["python developer", "data engineer", "ML engineer"]` in one run — one dedup state across all searches, single dataset, one Actor-Start charge instead of N.
- **📦 Compact mode** — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
- **🔌 MCP connectors** — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.
<!-- KEY_FEATURES:END -->

### What data can you extract from germantechjobs.de?

Each result includes Core job fields (`jobId`, `jobKey`, `title`, `location`, `postalCode`, `latitude`, `longitude`, and `requirements`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, and `descriptionLength`), apply information (`applyUrl`), and company metadata (`company`, `companyType`, `companyLogo`, and `companyUrl`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and company metadata where the source provides them.

### Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

- **`query`** — Optional keyword filter, matched on title / company / tech stack / description. Leave empty to return the whole board. Use a JSON array for multiple keywords.
- **`country`** — Which germantechjobs.de market to search. (default: `"DE"`)
- **`location`** — Optional city filter (e.g. "Berlin"), matched on the job's city. Use a JSON array for multiple cities.
- **`technologies`** — Optional. Keep only jobs whose tech stack includes any of these (e.g. ["React","AWS"]). Case-insensitive.
- **`remoteOnly`** — Keep only jobs whose workplace is remote or hybrid. (default: `false`)
- **`minSalary`** — Optional. Keep only jobs whose upper salary is at least this. 0 = no minimum. GermanTechJobs mandates a salary range on every posting. (default: `0`)
- **`jobType`** — Optional. Keep only jobs of this employment type. (default: `""`)
- **`expLevel`** — Optional. Keep only jobs at this experience level. (default: `""`)
- **`companySize`** — Optional. Keep only jobs at companies of this headcount band. (default: `""`)
- **`companyType`** — Optional. Keep only jobs at this type of company. (default: `""`)
- **`language`** — Optional. Keep only jobs whose posting language matches. (default: `""`)
- **`visaSponsorshipOnly`** — Keep only jobs that offer visa sponsorship. (default: `false`)
- ...and 26 more parameters

### Input examples

**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 50
}
````

**Incremental tracking** — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "software-engineer-tracker"
}
```

**Compact filtered output** — Combine filters with compact mode for a lightweight AI-agent or MCP data source.

→ Core fields only — ideal for piping into LLMs or downstream tools without token overhead.

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "jobType": "Full-Time",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}
```

### Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

```

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt` — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape germantechjobs.de

### How much does it cost to scrape germantechjobs.de?

GermanTechJobs Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

- **Run start:** $0.005 per run
- **Per result:** $0.0015 per job record

Example costs:

- 10 results: **$0.02**
- 25 results: **$0.042**
- 100 results: **$0.15**
- 200 results: **$0.3**
- 500 results: **$0.76**

#### Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

| Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 5% — stable niche query | $0.15 | $0.01 | $0.14 (92%) | $0.38 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.15 | $0.03 | $0.13 (82%) | $0.82 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.15 | $0.05 | $0.11 (68%) | $1.50 |

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $4.65. First month with incremental costs $0.52 / $0.95 / $1.60 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I get from germantechjobs.de?

The number of results depends on the search query and available jobs on germantechjobs.de. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.
