XING Jobs Scraper — DACH Job Listings | from $1.09/1K

Scrape public job listings from XING — the leading professional network and job board for the DACH market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Extracts job titles, companies, locations, salary ranges, employment types, and more. No login required. No external API key needed.

What it does

The actor fetches XING's jobs search page (/jobs/search) and extracts all job data from XING's embedded Apollo/GraphQL cache — the same structured data that powers the XING website. Because it reads the server-side-rendered data directly (not scraped HTML classes), the parser is resilient to frontend redesigns.

• Keyword search with optional location filter
• Pagination — up to 5 pages × 20 jobs = 100 results per keyword (XING's logged-out cap)
• Multi-keyword support — pass multiple keywords; results are deduplicated by job ID
• Salary extraction — normalized as "55,000–70,000 EUR/yr" when XING provides it
• Confidence scoring — each record has a parse_confidence (0.0–1.0) and warnings field so you know how complete the parse was
• PPE pricing — you pay only for records successfully extracted and pushed

How to use

Basic: scrape software jobs in Berlin

{
  "searchKeywords": ["Software Engineer"],
  "location": "Berlin",
  "maxItems": 100

}

Full input reference

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchKeywords	string[]	["Software Engineer"]	Job search keywords. Each runs a separate search.
location	string	""	City or region: "Berlin", "München", "Zürich", etc. Empty = all DACH.
maxItems	integer	100	Total job records cap across all keywords.
maxPages	integer	5	Pages per keyword (max 10). Each page = ~20 jobs.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	RESIDENTIAL	Proxy settings. Actor works without proxy via TLS impersonation; RESIDENTIAL is fallback for geo-restrictions.

Output schema

Each record contains:

{
  "job_id": "3423872",
  "title": "Senior Backend Engineer (Python)",
  "company": "TechCorp GmbH",
  "company_id": "2239127",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "zip_code": null,
  "region": "Berlin",
  "country_code": null,
  "employment_type": "FULL_TIME",
  "salary": "70,000–90,000 EUR/yr",
  "salary_min": 70000,
  "salary_max": 90000,
  "salary_currency": "EUR",
  "remote_option": "REMOTE",
  "career_level": "SENIOR",
  "posted_date": "2026-06-01T08:00:00",
  "active_until": "2026-07-01T08:00:00",
  "job_url": "https://www.xing.com/jobs/berlin-senior-backend-engineer-3423872",
  "apply_url": null,
  "description_snippet": "We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our growing team…",
  "source_query": "Software Engineer",
  "source_page": 1,
  "scraped_at": "2026-06-07T12:00:00Z",
  "parse_confidence": 1.0,
  "warnings": []
}

Fields that XING doesn't expose for a given listing will be null — this is normal. Salary and country code are only available when XING includes them in the search result cache.

Pricing

$1.09 per 1,000 job listings — charged per record pushed to the dataset.

Example:

• 100 jobs → $0.11
• 1,500 jobs → $1.64
• XING caps logged-out results at ~100/keyword — to get more, use more keywords.

You supply compute via your Apify account. No external API keys, no subscriptions.

Anti-bot & proxy

XING serves job data to logged-out users without aggressive bot protection. The actor uses Chrome 131 TLS impersonation (curl_cffi) which passes XING's fingerprint checks without proxy in most cases.

RESIDENTIAL proxy is enabled by default as a fallback for geo-restricted requests. Proxy compute is billed to your Apify account at standard Apify rates — no markup.

XING data limits

XING limits logged-out job searches to approximately 100 results per query (5 pages × 20 items). The boundedTotal field on the XING results page reflects this cap. To collect more jobs across different specializations, use multiple keywords.

FAQ

Does it require XING login? No. All data is extracted from the public logged-out job search.

What DACH locations are supported? Any city or region XING recognizes: Berlin, München, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Zürich, Wien, Köln, etc. Leave location empty to search all of DACH.

Why do some jobs have salary: null? XING only shows salary ranges when the employer explicitly provides them. Most job listings on XING do not include salary data.

Can I get full job descriptions? The description_snippet is extracted from the search result page (up to 350 characters). Full descriptions require loading each job detail page — this increases run time and proxy usage significantly and is not enabled by default.

Why does country_code show null? The XING jobs search page Apollo cache does not include country at the listing level — only city/region. Country is available on individual job detail pages.

How often should I run it? XING job listings refresh continuously. For monitoring purposes, daily or weekly runs are typical.

The actor returned fewer than expected results. XING's logged-out search cap is 100 results per keyword. If you need broader coverage, pass more specific or varied keywords (e.g. ["Python Engineer", "Django Developer", "Backend Python"]).
