Jobs.ch Scraper

What does Jobs.ch Scraper do?

Jobs.ch Scraper extracts structured job data from jobs.ch — including contact details, company metadata, full descriptions, location data, and skill tags. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information) where the source provides them, incremental monitoring that only returns new or changed results on recurring runs, and a compact output mode for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

What data can you extract from jobs.ch?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, id, title, synonym, place, street, zipcode, and regions, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description and descriptionHtml), contact and apply information (contactName, contactPhone, contactTitle, and applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyId, and companyLogo). 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, company metadata, and contact information 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.
