Xing Jobs Scraper

Slug: fatihtahta/xing-jobs-scraper

Overview

Xing Jobs Scraper collects structured job listing data from Xing, including core fields such as job title, company, location, employment type, salary range, posting freshness, and application links. When needed, it can also return richer listing details such as expanded job content, company profile information, and media references. Xing is a major professional networking and jobs platform, especially relevant for German-speaking markets, making it a useful source for hiring intelligence, market tracking, and job discovery data. The actor automates repetitive collection work so teams can gather large result sets consistently without manual searching and copying. This helps reduce time spent on data collection while improving repeatability across recurring runs.

Why Use This Actor

• Market researchers and analysts: Track hiring demand, salary signals, role distribution, and location trends across keywords, regions, and time windows.
• Product and content teams: Discover which roles, skills, and employer themes appear most often to inform editorial calendars, product positioning, and feature planning.
• Developers and data engineers: Feed structured Xing job data into ETL jobs, dashboards, internal search tools, or downstream APIs with minimal cleanup.
• Lead generation and enrichment teams: Identify relevant employers, job posts, and company attributes to support prospecting, segmentation, and account research.
• Monitoring and competitive tracking teams: Watch how hiring activity changes for target companies, functions, and locations over time.

Example Inputs

Scenario: Query-based search across a city

{
  "queries": ["software engineer", "data analyst"],
  "location": "Berlin",
  "radius": "50",
  "date_posted": "LAST_WEEK",
  "enrich_data": false,
  "limit": 150

Scenario: Direct URL run from known Xing pages

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.xing.com/jobs/search/ki?keywords=product%20manager&location=Hamburg",
    "https://www.xing.com/jobs/berlin-senior-product-manager-123456789"
  ],
  "queries": [],
  "enrich_data": true,
  "limit": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Scenario: Targeted run with workplace, seniority, and salary filters

{
  "queries": ["account manager"],
  "location": "Munich",
  "radius": "20",
  "workplace": ["PARTLY_REMOTE.ca71ca"],
  "employment_type": ["FULL_TIME.ef2fe9"],

Output

6.1 Output destination

The actor writes results to an Apify dataset as JSON records. And the dataset is designed for direct consumption by analytics tools, ETL pipelines, and downstream APIs without post-processing.

6.2 Record envelope (all items)

Every record represents a Xing job listing and includes the following stable envelope:

• type (string, required): Logical record type. For this actor, use job.
• id (string, required): Xing job identifier.
• url (string, required): Canonical Xing job URL.

Recommended idempotency key: type + ":" + id

Use this key to deduplicate repeated discoveries and to perform deterministic upserts across recurring runs.
