XING Jobs Scraper: job postings across Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Type the keywords you would type into XING and you get one row per posting. Title, company, city, employment type, career level, whether it is remote, hybrid or on-site, when it went up, when it expires, and the link that actually applies.

One thing to get right before your first run. XING's location box resolves places, not countries, so typing "Deutschland" does not filter anything: XING hands back its whole Germany, Austria and Switzerland ranking. This actor then keeps only the postings XING itself labels German, which is what restrictToCountry does, and the ones it drops are not charged.

Salaries are the other half of the honest version. XING publishes a figure on some postings and estimates one on others, so read salaryIsEstimate before you put a number in front of anyone.

Input	Job keywords, or XING search and posting URLs
Output	One row per job posting
Ceiling	About 1,000 postings per search, up to 10,000 per run across several searches
Account needed	None
Price	$0.51 per 1,000 postings, which is $0.00051 each, flat on every plan

💼 What XING Jobs Scraper does

It runs the search you describe, walks the results page by page, and writes a row for each posting with everything XING attaches to it: the company and its page, company size, the full address down to the postcode, XING's own industry and discipline labels, the seniority band, and the keywords XING tagged the posting with.

Filters are XING's own, applied during the search rather than by throwing rows away afterwards: workplace type, contract type, career level, how recently it was posted, and a salary floor.

Several keywords in one run are walked as separate searches, which is how you get past the roughly 1,000 results XING serves for any single one.

applyUrl is worth knowing about. Plenty of XING postings hand the application off to the company's own careers site or a job board, and that is the address you get, with appliesOffXing telling you when it happened.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searchQueries": ["Softwareentwickler", "Data Analyst"],
  "location": "Berlin",
  "radius": 30,
  "remoteOption": "hybrid",
  "postedWithin": "week",
  "maxItems": 200
}

Field	Default	What it is
searchQueries	none	One or more searches, German or English. Each is walked separately.
location	none	A DACH city such as Berlin, Wien or Zürich. Leave it out to search all of XING.
radius	none	Kilometres around the city, 1 to 200. Cities only.
restrictToCountry	true	Applies when the location names a country. Keeps only the postings XING labels with that country. Dropped postings are not charged and do not count against maxItems.
remoteOption	any	remote, hybrid or onsite.
employmentType	any	full-time, part-time, contractor, intern, temporary, seasonal, voluntary.
careerLevel	any	student, entry-level, experienced, manager, director, executive.
postedWithin	any	day, week or month. Every row also carries its exact date, so you can cut it again later.
salaryMin	none	Yearly EUR floor. XING applies it to the figure it holds, which is often its own estimate.
startUrls	none	Paste XING URLs instead of building a search. A single posting works, and so does a search page.
includeDescription	false	Adds the posting body as HTML and as plain text. It rides along with the same request, so it costs no extra time and no extra charge.
resultLanguage	de	Language of XING's own labels. The posting text stays in whatever language the employer wrote.
maxItems	50	Stop after this many postings, 1 to 10,000.
proxyConfiguration	Apify default	Leave it alone unless you have your own servers and a reason to use them.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a real run, with the company logo URL cut short so the block stays readable:

}

Field	What it is
jobId	Stable across runs, and the same shape whether the row came from a search or a pasted posting URL. Use it to dedupe.
applyUrl, appliesOffXing	Where an application actually goes. Often the employer's own site rather than XING.
salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryMedian, salaryIsEstimate	Null when XING shows no salary. salaryIsEstimate is true when the figure is XING's estimate rather than the employer's.
workplaceType, isRemote, isHybrid, isOnsite	The same fact as a label and as three booleans, so filtering is easy either way.
employmentType, careerLevel, industry, discipline	XING's own labels, in the language you set.
postedAt, refreshedAt, activeUntil	When it went up, when it was last refreshed, and when it stops. activeUntil is the one for pruning an old dataset.
descriptionHtml, descriptionText	Only with includeDescription on, and null on the many postings XING holds no body text for.
isPaidListing, isTopJob	Whether the employer paid for the listing and whether XING promoted it.
searchQuery, searchLocation, page, position	The search that produced the row and where it ranked, copied onto it.

🧾 Reading the output

Job rows carry a jobId. Anything without one is a note, and notes are never charged.

Row	How to spot it	Charged
A posting	jobId is set	yes
The sample row	_sample is true	no
A diagnostic	errorCode is set	no

Code	What it means
BAD_URL	Not a XING job or search address.
JOB_NOT_FOUND	That posting is gone. Listings expire, and activeUntil is why.
NO_RESULTS	The search ran and XING had nothing for it.
NO_RESULTS_IN_COUNTRY	XING returned postings, but none carried the country you asked for. Widen it, or turn restrictToCountry off.
GEO_RESTRICTED	XING would not serve the full posting for that request.
HTTP_ERROR	XING answered badly. Usually worth one re-run.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open XING Jobs Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Put your terms into Job keywords, one per line. German terms find more than English ones on XING.
3. Set Location to a city, and a Radius if you want the surrounding area.
4. Set Maximum postings. Fifty is a sensible first run.
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.51 per 1,000 postings, which is $0.00051 each. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

You pay per posting row. Nothing else in the dataset is billed: not the sample row, not a diagnostic, and not a posting the country filter dropped. Turning on the full description costs nothing extra, because it arrives with the same request.

A thousand postings is about fifty cents.

💡 What people use it for

• A daily pull of new DACH postings for a handful of roles, deduped on jobId.
• Recruiters watching which companies are hiring in a city, and at what seniority.
• Salary work: salaryMedian with salaryIsEstimate kept beside it, so estimates and published figures never get mixed.
• Feeding a job board or a newsletter with fresh listings that carry a working apply link.
• Market research on remote and hybrid share by industry, which the three booleans make easy.

🚧 What it does not do

• Germany, Austria and Switzerland only. XING is a DACH site.
• About 1,000 postings per search. Use several keywords or cities to go past it.
• Descriptions are not on every posting. XING holds body text for some and not others, and descriptionText is null on the rest.
• A country name in the location is not a filter at XING. It is handled here instead, and naming a country anywhere in the location, including Basel, Schweiz, turns that filter on. Use the bare city if you want cross-border results.
• No candidate or recruiter contact details. Public postings only, nothing behind a sign-in.
• Salaries are often XING's estimate, not the employer's number.
• A row is a snapshot. Postings expire, and activeUntil tells you when.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a XING account? No. Nothing to paste, nothing that expires.

German or English keywords? Both work, and German finds more. Softwareentwickler and Software Developer return different sets, so run the pair.

Why is the salary empty on most rows? XING only shows one where it has it. Where it does, check salaryIsEstimate before quoting the figure.

Can I paste a single job link? Yes, into XING URLs. Search pages work there too, so you can build the search in your browser and paste the address.

How do I get more than 1,000 results? Split the search. Several keywords, or the same keyword across several cities, each with its own searchQuery on the row.

Is scraping job postings legal? These are public pages. Postings often name a contact person, which is personal data under GDPR, so have a reason for holding it. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the keywords, the location and the run ID. If a diagnostic row landed, its errorCode usually names the reason already.
