StepStone.de Jobs Scraper – Keyword, Location & Search URL

Extract job listings from StepStone.de, one of Germany's largest job boards. Search by keyword and location, or paste any StepStone search URL. Clean, structured JSON output — ideal for recruitment analysis, market research, and job market monitoring.

Features

• ✅ Two search modes — keyword + location, or paste a StepStone search URL
• ✅ Structured output — title, company, location, salary, contract type, posting date, apply link
• ✅ Automatic pagination — scrapes up to your maxItems limit
• ✅ Smart early-stop — halts after N consecutive pages with no new jobs (no infinite runs)
• ✅ Bot-protection handling — real-browser rendering with fingerprints; retries on blocks

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	software developer	Job title or keyword (ignored if Search URLs given)
location	string	—	City or region, e.g. berlin, münchen
searchUrls	array	—	StepStone search URLs; overrides keyword/location
maxItems	integer	50	Max job listings to scrape
maxStalePages	integer	2	Stop after N consecutive pages with no new jobs
fetchDetails	boolean	false	Visit each job page for full description, benefits, salary breakdown & company info
proxyConfig	object	Residential DE	Proxy settings (Germany recommended)

Two modes

Fast mode (fetchDetails: false, default) — scrapes the search result cards only: title, company, location, salary estimate, work-from-home, posting date, badges, and the job URL. One page load per ~25 jobs.

Detail mode (fetchDetails: true) — additionally visits every job page and collects the full description, employment/contract type, structured salary (min/max/currency), benefits list, company industry & address, and validity date. One extra page load per job — slower and more expensive, but far richer.
