Willhaben Job Scraper - Austria’s Largest Job Portal

What does Willhaben Job Scraper do?

Willhaben Job Scraper extracts structured job data from willhaben.at — including salary data, contact details (email, apply URL), company metadata, full descriptions, remote-work indicators, 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.

Key features

• Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline state; subsequent runs emit only new or changed records.
• Detail enrichment — full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.
• Notifications — push results to Telegram, Discord, or Slack after each run. Pair with incremental mode and notifyOnlyChanges to alert only on new or updated items.

What data can you extract from willhaben.at?

Each result includes Core listing fields (jobId, title, location, federalState, country, salary, salaryTimeFrame, and salaryText, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description), contact and apply information (contactName, contactEmail, contactSex, and applyUrl), and company metadata (company, companyId, companyLogoUrl, and companyType). 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 search keywords (e.g. "developer", "Tischler"). Leave empty to browse all jobs.
• location — City or district name.
• region — Austrian federal state. Use name (e.g. "Wien") or code.
• operationArea — Filter by professional field (Berufsfeld).
• employmentMode — Filter by employment type.
• position — Filter by position level.
• companyType — Filter by company type.
• timeLimit — Filter by posting recency.
• startUrls — Paste Willhaben job-search URLs directly (e.g. https://www.willhaben.at/jobs/suche?keyword=developer&region=14486). Filters in the URL override the explicit input fields where present.
• sortBy — Sort search results.
• salaryMinFilter — Drop jobs whose maximum salary is below this value (in EUR). Jobs without salary data are dropped when set.
• salaryMaxFilter — Drop jobs whose minimum salary exceeds this value (in EUR).
• ...and 23 more parameters

Incremental fields

When incremental: true, 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 willhaben.at?

• Run start: $0.01 per run

Example costs:

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings 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	$0.21	$0.02	$0.19 (90%)	$0.60
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.04	$0.17 (81%)	$1.20
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (67%)	$2.10

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $6.30. First month with incremental costs $0.79 / $1.37 / $2.24 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

FAQ

How many results can I get from willhaben.at?

The number of results depends on the search query and available listings on willhaben.at. Use the maxResults parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

Why are there fewer results in my dataset than the search pages reported?

Willhaben's search results can list the same job across multiple pages, and — when you provide more than one startUrl — the same job can also match several searches. The actor removes duplicates by listing ID, so each unique job is returned only once. The run summary shows how many listings were merged.

Does Willhaben Job Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed listings on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.

Can I integrate Willhaben Job Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Willhaben Job Scraper works with Apify's integrations to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.

Can I use Willhaben Job Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the Apify API. Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.

Can I use Willhaben Job Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an MCP Server that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode and descriptionMaxLength to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

Is it legal to scrape willhaben.at?

This actor extracts publicly available data from willhaben.at. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.
