StepStone Job Scraper [💰$0.70] — Full Descriptions, DE/AT/BE

What does StepStone Job Scraper do?

StepStone Job Scraper extracts structured job data from StepStone in Germany, Austria and Belgium (www.stepstone.de, www.stepstone.at, www.stepstone.be): title, company, location, salary where stated, skills, posting dates and the full job description. Search by keyword, country, location and filters, or paste StepStone search or job URLs, and run the same query on a schedule to get only new jobs.

Key features

• 🌎 3-market coverage: Three countries, one actor: search www.stepstone.de, www.stepstone.at and www.stepstone.be with the country input, or paste URLs from any of the three sites into one run. Every record says which site it came from (sourceDomain).
• 🔔 Notifications: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + notifyOnlyChanges for daily "new Stepstone jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste any stepstone.de URL straight from your browser — single-job pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Build the search you want in the UI, copy the URL, paste it here.
• 🎯 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.
• ✂️ Description truncation: cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 📌 Change classification: each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired.
• ♻️ 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.
• 📤 Export anywhere: Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).
• 🔌 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.

What data can you extract from stepstone.de?

Each result includes Core job fields (jobId, harmonisedId, legacyJobId, title, location, postCode, textSections, and textSnippet, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, descriptionLength, and locationDetail), contact and apply information (contactName, contactEmail, contactPhone, and directApply), and company metadata (company, companyId, 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, 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.

Key parameters:

• query — Job title, skill or company, e.g. "software engineer". Several searches: a JSON array ["nurse", "caregiver"].
• country — Which StepStone site to search. Start URLs below always use the site in the URL. (default: "de")
• location — City or region, e.g. "Berlin", "Wien", "Antwerpen", "Bayern". Several: a JSON array.
• maxResults — How many jobs to return at most. 0 = no limit. (default: 100)
• startUrls — Search result pages or single job pages from stepstone.de, .at or .be, copied from your browser. When you add URLs, the search fields above are not used.
• age — Only jobs posted in the last N days, e.g. 1, 3 or 7. Jobs without a posting date are left out.
• sort — Sort order for results (default: "relevance")
• remote — Only jobs with home office. On stepstone.at and .be this means partly remote; only stepstone.de filters fully remote.
• radius — Search radius around location in km (requires location)
• contractType — Filter by contract/employment type
• workType — Filter by work schedule (full-time / part-time)
• experience — Filter by experience level
• ...and 34 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.

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

Filtered search — Narrow results with advanced filters — only matching jobs are returned.

→ Same field set as basic search; fewer, more relevant rows.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "contractType": "FULL_TIME",
  "workType": "FULL_TIME",
  "maxResults": 100
}

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.

{
  "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.

{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "contractType": "FULL_TIME",
  "workType": "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 much does it cost to scrape stepstone.de?

StepStone Job Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.004 per run
• Per result: $0.0007 per job record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.011
• 25 results: $0.021
• 100 results: $0.074
• 200 results: $0.14
• 500 results: $0.35

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: 250 jobs per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of jobs.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.18	$0.01	$0.17 (93%)	$0.38
15% — moderate broad query	$0.18	$0.03	$0.15 (83%)	$0.91
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.18	$0.06	$0.12 (68%)	$1.69

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $5.37. First month with incremental costs $0.55 / $1.06 / $1.82 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.
