## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## StepStone Jobs Scraper — Germany & Europe, Cheap & Fast

StepStone Jobs Scraper collects job ads from **StepStone Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands** (stepstone.de, .at, .be, .nl) as clean JSON: title, company, location, home-office option, text excerpt, benefits, publication and expiry dates, quick-apply flag and — optionally — the full description, employment type, discipline, coordinates and employer rating from the job page. No login, no browser, no cookies.

It reads the data StepStone itself embeds in every search page, so it is fast and cheap: 25 jobs per request.

### What you can do with it

- Track hiring by city, industry or company (market research, salary benchmarking, competitor monitoring).
- Build job feeds, alerts, newsletters or aggregators for the German-speaking market and the Benelux.
- Feed recruiting, HR-tech and sales tools with companies that are hiring right now (lead generation).
- Analyse demand for skills over time with daily scheduled runs ("posted within the last 24 hours").

### Features

- **Four sites**: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands (`site` input), or paste StepStone search URLs from any of them.
- **Filters**: keywords, locations with radius, work time (full-time / part-time), experience, home office, posted within 24 h / 7 days, sort order.
- **Goes past the page limit**: StepStone only lets you page through a limited number of results per search. When you ask for more, the Actor splits the search automatically with StepStone's own filters (discipline, city, region, sector, contract type, experience, age) and removes duplicates.
- **Optional full details** (add-on): full description as text, employment type, discipline, region, coordinates, employer rating.
- **Privacy**: recruiter and contact-person data is never collected; e-mail addresses, phone numbers and named-contact lines are removed from every text field. Only company data is returned.
- **Resilient**: automatic retries; StepStone is protected by a bot filter, so the Actor starts on a datacenter proxy and climbs to residential IPs of the right country by itself when requests are blocked.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `site` | `de` (default), `at`, `be`, `nl` |
| `keywords` | One search per entry, e.g. `["Pflegefachkraft", "Data Analyst"]` |
| `locations` | Cities or regions, e.g. `["Berlin", "Wien"]`; empty = whole country |
| `radiusKm` | Radius around each location |
| `searchUrls` | StepStone result-list URLs with their filters |
| `workTime` | `full_time`, `part_time` |
| `experience` | `entry`, `experienced`, `leadership` |
| `workFromHome` | `partial`, `full` |
| `postedWithin` | `24h`, `7d` |
| `sortBy` | `date`, `relevance` |
| `maxItems` | Maximum jobs to return (default 50) |
| `includeDetails` | Open each job page for the full details (extra `job-details` event) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Datacenter by default, residential fallback of the site's country |

### FAQ

**Which StepStone sites are supported?** Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. Other StepStone-group brands (for example UK job boards) run on different technology and are not covered.

**Why do some jobs have no company?** Some employers publish anonymously. `anonymousEmployer` is `true` and the company fields are empty.

**Can I get the recruiter's e-mail or phone?** No. Contact persons and personal contact details are deliberately not returned.

**Is salary included?** Only when StepStone shows it on the result list (field `salary`); most German-language ads do not publish salaries.

**How do I get only new ads?** Use `postedWithin: "24h"` and schedule the Actor daily.

# Actor input Schema

## `site` (type: `string`):

Which StepStone country site to search. Search URLs from another StepStone site are also accepted.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Job titles or skills to search for, one search per entry (for example: Pflegefachkraft, Data Analyst). Leave empty to browse all jobs of the location/country.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Cities or regions (for example: Berlin, Wien, Brussels). Leave empty for the whole country. Combined with every keyword.

## `radiusKm` (type: `integer`):

Radius around each location. Leave empty for the StepStone default (30 km).

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional StepStone result-list URLs (stepstone.de/.at/.be/.nl) with their filters, for example https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/entwickler/in-berlin.

## `workTime` (type: `string`):

Restrict to full-time or part-time jobs.

## `experience` (type: `string`):

Restrict by required experience.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Datacenter proxy by default; the Actor falls back to residential IPs of the site's country automatically if StepStone blocks the requests.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
