Input examples

Software developers in Berlin (default):

{"keywords": ["Softwareentwickler"], "locations": ["Berlin"], "maxJobsPerSearch": 20}

Part-time nursing and kitchen jobs in Munich, last 7 days:

{"keywords": ["Pflegefachkraft", "Koch"], "locations": ["München"], "workingTime": ["part-time"], "postedWithinDays": 7}

Apprenticeships in Hamburg:

{"keywords": ["Kaufmann"], "locations": ["Hamburg"], "offerType": "apprenticeship"}

Daily alert, remote IT jobs, no temp agencies:

{"keywords": ["Informatiker"], "remoteOnly": true, "excludeTempAgencies": true, "onlyNewJobs": true, "alertsKey": "de-it-remote"}

Input fields

Field	Type	Description
keywords	array	Job titles or keywords in German or English, e.g. Softwareentwickler, Pflegefachkraft, Elektriker, Buchhalter, developer. Empty = all jobs.
locations	array	German cities or postal codes, e.g. Berlin, München, Hamburg, 50667. Empty = all of Germany.
radiusKm	integer	Search radius around each city (Arbeitsagentur).
sources	array	Job boards to search. Arbeitnow has fewer, mostly English-speaking and tech jobs, matched by keyword.
offerType	string	Kind of offer (Arbeitsagentur). Arbeitnow is searched only for regular jobs.
workingTime	array	Only these working-time models (Arbeitsagentur). Empty = all.
remoteOnly	boolean	Keep only jobs that allow home office or remote work.
minYearlySalary	integer	Keep only Arbeitsagentur jobs with a published salary of at least this much per year (hourly and monthly pay are converted). Most jobs publish no salary, so this filter removes many rows.
excludeTempAgencies	boolean	Hide jobs from temporary staffing agencies.
employer	string	Only jobs from this employer name, e.g. Deutsche Bahn (Arbeitsagentur).
maxJobsPerSearch	integer	Stop after this many jobs for each keyword and city (and for Arbeitnow overall).
postedWithinDays	integer	Only jobs published in the last N days (e.g. 7). 0 = any date.
onlyNewJobs	boolean	Return only jobs not seen in previous runs. Schedule daily for alerts.
alertsKey	string	Name for this alert's memory (e.g. berlin-devs). Use a different key per alert so "only new jobs" works separately.

FAQ

Do I need a login, API key or proxies? No. It uses publicly available job search data only.

Can I search in English? Yes, but the Arbeitsagentur matches German job titles best (Softwareentwickler, Buchhalter, Pflegefachkraft). Arbeitnow jobs are mostly in English.

Why do few jobs have a salary? Employers in Germany often do not publish pay. When they do, you get the amount, the period and a yearly figure.

Why did I get fewer jobs than the maximum? The source had fewer matching jobs, or duplicates were removed. You only pay for jobs delivered.

Is it legal? It collects only publicly available data. You are responsible for using it in line with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR) and the sources' terms.

Limitations

The Actor reads up to 10,000 Arbeitsagentur jobs per keyword and city, so split very large searches by city or keyword. Arbeitnow is read politely (one page every 2–3 s, at most 10 pages per run) and filtered by keyword in the title, company and tags. Full job descriptions are available for Arbeitnow jobs only; Arbeitsagentur jobs link to the full posting.
