Jobs.ch scraper for public Swiss job listings. A practical jobs.ch API alternative: search by keyword, city, and workload percent, or paste a search / job URL. Export title, company, place, workload %, a CHF salary when the text states one, the description, and the apply URL as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Fast HTTP, no headless browser, no login. Run it with Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP.

Use it for Swiss recruiting coverage, workload filters (80–100%), and a daily watch of new job ids.

When to use this Actor

• You need a jobs.ch scraper that returns structured Swiss listings

FAQ

Does this use an employer API key? No. It reads the public search JSON and the public job page. No login.

Why can Zurich include more than the city? On the public search index, a place name that is both a city and a canton matches both. Winterthur can appear in a Zurich search for that reason.

Where does the CHF salary come from? Only when the job text states an amount. Many listings describe pay without a number. Those rows leave the salary fields empty. Workload percent is separate and comes from the listing itself.

What does monitor mode bill? Only new job rows. A later run that finds nothing new still starts, and it does not charge a job row for ids already stored. If you change the keyword or workload, reset the monitor store.
