Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper

The Jobsuche of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit is Germany's public job board, with more than 1 million offers in September 2026. This actor returns one row per advert: title, employer, occupation, workplace with coordinates, contract, working time, pay when the employer states it and the full advert text. Type a job title in German, such as Pflegefachkraft, add a city and click Start. The contact person block of an advert is not collected. It costs $0.30 per 1,000 jobs on the Free plan ($0.15 on Business), and the $5 of monthly credit in Apify's Free plan covers about 16,000 jobs.

How to scrape Arbeitsagentur jobs

1. Type job titles, skills or company names into Keywords, in German where you can. On 30 September 2026 Softwareentwickler matched 3,445 jobs and software developer 437. Each keyword runs as its own search.
2. Add cities, postcodes or federal states to Locations, for example Berlin, 80331 or Bayern, and set Radius (km): 25 when left empty, 0 for the place itself. Österreich returns the Austrian offers listed on the Jobsuche, 38,161 on 30 September 2026.
3. Pick the Offer type and narrow the search with Working time, Contract, Home office possible, Published or Employer, or with the switches that leave out temporary agencies, private recruiters and adverts taken over from partner boards. A link copied from a search on the Jobsuche website works too: paste it into Search links from arbeitsagentur.de and its filters are kept.
4. Keep Include full details on to get the advert text, the agency flags, the required school certificate and the source. It costs the same, but every advert needs one more request: 1,000 adverts with details took about 3 minutes.
5. Click Start. Rows fill the Output tab during the run, and you can export them as CSV, Excel or JSON or read them through the API. When Maximum jobs is lower than the number of matches, the searches share it equally.

The same search as API input:

{

  "locations": ["Berlin"],
  "radiusKm": 10,
  "workingTime": ["partTime"],
  "excludeTemporaryAgencies": true,
  "postedWithin": "7",

How much does it cost to scrape Arbeitsagentur jobs?

	Free plan	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 jobs	$0.30	$0.24	$0.195	$0.15

You pay only for the events in the table. There is no start fee, and compute time and proxies are included.

An export of 10,000 adverts with full details costs $3.00 on the Free plan and $1.50 on Business. Adverts removed by Exclude keywords, adverts that two of your searches both found and adverts already delivered in the new-only mode cost nothing.

Limits

• The Jobsuche shows at most 10,000 adverts per search. When Maximum jobs asks for more, the actor splits the search by contract type, offer type, the agency and partner board flags, the career changer flag and finally occupational field. Adverts without an occupational field cannot be reached that way; the run log gives their number.
• Pay is optional for employers. In a September 2026 run, 297 of 1,000 adverts for software developers and electricians in Munich and Hamburg stated it.
• requiredEducation comes with apprenticeship offers. Ordinary job adverts leave it empty.
• The Employer filter needs the name exactly as on the website, legal form included, e.g. Deutsche Bahn AG. To catch every advert that mentions a company, put the name into Keywords.
• The actor sends at most about 6 requests a second. If the Jobsuche answers with HTTP 429 or 503, it waits a minute and continues at half the pace; after five such pauses it stops and keeps the adverts it already has.

Apprenticeships and dual study

Set Offer type to Apprenticeships and dual study (Ausbildung, duales Studium) to read training places, 176,967 of them on 30 September 2026. Their rows carry trainingType (Apprenticeship or Dual study), the pay for each training year in trainingPayPerMonth, the school certificate in requiredEducation and a startDate that for most places is the start of the training year, such as 2027-08-01. For dual study, studyForm and studyProgram describe the course. Only some employers publish the training pay: 15 of 100 places for Kaufmann in one September 2026 run.

Daily alerts for new adverts

Turn on Return only jobs new since the last run, give the run a Watch name such as pflege-berlin and schedule it every morning. Runs of a saved task get their own snapshot without a name. The actor remembers each advert for 120 days after it first appeared and sends only adverts it has not delivered under that name before.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape arbeitsagentur.de?

The Jobsuche is run by a federal agency to publish job offers to everyone, and the actor reads it through the same public interface as the website and the Jobsuche app. That interface leaves out the contact person block, which the website shows only after a CAPTCHA. The advert text itself is published as the employer wrote it, and about a third of adverts in a September 2026 run contained an email address. You are responsible for how you store and use the data.

How many offers are on the Jobsuche?

On 30 September 2026 it listed 1,029,255 offers: 834,456 jobs, 176,967 apprenticeship and dual study places, 14,355 internships and trainee places and 3,477 self-employment offers. About a fifth of them, 214,337, came from temporary employment agencies.

Does it include adverts from other job boards?

Yes. Arbeitsagentur takes over adverts from partner boards such as jobvector, HeyJobs and the Austrian AMS, 197,365 of them on 30 September 2026. source names the partner and externalUrl links to the advert there, which is usually where applications go. Turn on Only jobs posted on Arbeitsagentur to leave them out.
