## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## StepStone Jobs Scraper — Germany, Austria & Belgium

Search **StepStone** by keyword and city and get clean, structured job listings from
**stepstone.de, stepstone.at and stepstone.be** — title, company, location, posted date, salary range
where published, StepStone's remote/hybrid classification, quick-apply flags and the listing snippet.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | `Python` | Job title, skill or company name |
| `city` | `Berlin` | City or region; empty = whole country |
| `country` | `de` | `de`, `at` or `be` |
| `radiusKm` | `30` | Radius around the city |
| `workFromHome` | `any` | `any`, `remote` (fully remote) or `hybrid` |
| `maxItems` | `10` | Up to 2,000 per run (25 per page) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Residential DE | |

### Output

```json
{
  "jobId": "13818030",
  "title": "Backend Entwickler Python (m/w/d) - Data Engineer Python",
  "jobUrl": "https://www.stepstone.de/stellenangebote--Backend-Entwickler-Python-…--13818030-inline.html",
  "companyName": "Ratbacher GmbH",
  "companyId": "46710",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.stepstone.de/cmp/de/ratbacher-gmbh-46710/jobs",
  "companyLogo": "https://www.stepstone.de/upload_DE/logo/…gif",
  "location": "Berlin, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe",
  "postCode": null,
  "country": "DE",
  "datePosted": "2026-08-23T01:35:06+02:00",
  "salaryText": null, "salaryMin": null, "salaryMax": null, "salaryCurrency": null, "salaryPeriod": null,
  "workFromHome": "home-office", "workFromHomeCode": "2",
  "quickApply": false, "noCoverLetter": true, "labels": ["NO_COVER_LETTER"],
  "isSponsored": false, "isTopJob": false, "isAnonymous": false,
  "skills": [],
  "snippet": "Die Sparkassen Rating und Risikosysteme (SR) ist der zentrale Dienstleister…",
  "searchKeyword": "Python", "searchCity": "Berlin",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-06T18:00:00.000Z"
}
```

`workFromHome` maps StepStone's per-listing code: `0` no home office, `2` home office possible. The `workFromHome` *input* filter uses StepStone's finer search facets: `remote` = "Nur Home-Office", `hybrid` = partly home office. Salary fields are
filled only when the employer published a range (StepStone shows this on a minority of listings).

### Use cases

Recruiting lead lists (companies actively hiring, with ATS-free contact via company page), salary and
remote-policy benchmarking for the DACH/Benelux market, job-market research, and feeding aggregators.

### Notes

- Pages are 25 listings; a "Python in Berlin" search returns ~270 within 30 km, ~1,800 nationwide.
- Sponsored and top-job placements are flagged, not filtered, so you see what candidates see.
- StepStone pads thin result pages with "recommended" jobs that don't match your search; those are excluded.

// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("chimerical_quicklime/stepstone-jobs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call chimerical_quicklime/stepstone-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,chimerical_quicklime/stepstone-jobs-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
