XING Jobs Scraper

Collect structured job listings from XING for recruiting research, hiring intelligence, salary benchmarking, and DACH job-market analysis.

The Actor searches XING's public jobs feed and saves one dataset item per listing. Search by keyword, location, date, or a prepared XING search URL. Results include job, company, location, compensation, application, search metadata, and optional full-description data.

Tips for reliable runs

• Use a specific keyword and location for more relevant results.
• Start with 20-50 records while testing a search, then increase resultsWanted and maxPages.
• Use LAST_24_HOURS for fresh alerts, LAST_WEEK for recurring hiring reports, and LAST_MONTH for broader research.
• Enable includeDetails only when full descriptions are needed; it makes one additional public-page request per listing.
• Use Apify Proxy for larger or recurring runs, or configure it if XING begins returning HTTP 403 responses. The Actor rotates proxy sessions up to three times for feed and detail requests.
• Use languages: ["en", "de"] when you need localized versions of the same search. Results are tagged with the language used.
• For recurring monitoring, create an Apify schedule and connect the dataset to a webhook or downstream integration.

Data availability and limitations

• The Actor collects publicly visible job listings and does not require a XING login.
• Salary, company information, locations, application links, and descriptions are source-dependent and may be missing.
• datePosted represents the timestamp exposed by XING, which may be a refresh date rather than the employer's original publication date.
• includeDetails enriches listings only when the public job page is available. An individual detail failure is recorded in detailError without discarding the listing.
• Remote or hybrid roles can be searched with keywords such as Remote or through a prepared XING search URL; the current output does not add a separate normalized remote-status field.
• XING may change its public feed, throttle requests, or temporarily return 403 responses. Proxy configuration can help with larger or recurring runs.

Export and integrations

Apify datasets can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats. You can also connect this Actor to:

• Google Sheets, Airtable, and databases
• Looker Studio and other BI tools
• Webhooks, Make, and Zapier
• Your own application through the Apify API
