## 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

## Arbeitsagentur Scraper — German Job Ads (Jobsuche), No Phones

Get job ads from the Jobsuche of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency), Germany's largest job board with about a million ads: title, employer, workplace (town, postcode, federal state, and for companies the street and coordinates), occupation, working time, contract, start date, the pay when the ad states it — as minimum, maximum and period — publication and update dates, the link on arbeitsagentur.de and the employer's own link. With the full ad on (the default) also the complete ad text, whether the employer is a temp agency or a placement agency, the schooling asked for, apprentice pay by year and the job board the ad came from. Paste your Jobsuche search links, or type keywords and places.

**Why this one**

- 🔗 **Your search, as you set it up.** Set up a search on arbeitsagentur.de/jobsuche and paste the link — keyword, place, radius and every filter are kept, and the site's own defaults apply as on the website, so the counts match (Pflegefachkraft around Leipzig: 282 jobs here and on the website). Or type **Keywords** and **Places** here (Leipzig, München, 04109, Bayern) and pick offer type, working time, home office, contract, "published within", temp agencies, placement agencies, employer and sort order below.
- 🏛️ **Straight from the source.** The data comes from the same Jobsuche interface the arbeitsagentur.de website reads. No browser, no login.
- ⚡ **Fast.** A live run read four searches — software developers around Berlin with home office, household help across Germany, apprenticeships in Bavaria without temp agencies, warehouse helpers in Stuttgart published in the last 28 days — 3,147 jobs with their full ads in 89 seconds.
- 💶 **Pay in numbers.** When an ad states pay, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax` and `salaryPeriod` hold it: 3,464 of 9,974 Berlin jobs in a live run did (2,689 by the hour, 775 by the year).
- 🔒 **No contact persons, no phones.** Ads name recruiters with their phone numbers and e-mail addresses; those lines, contact blocks, numbers and addresses are taken out of the ad text. Private households that hire (household help, gardening, childcare) are not named, and their street and coordinates are left out: 59 of the 3,147 jobs in the live run.
- 💸 **You pay only for jobs delivered.** A link that is not a Jobsuche search, a place the Jobsuche does not know, or a search with no jobs comes back as a free record with the reason.

### What you get

For every job:

| Field | What it is |

| `status`, `error` | `OK`, or why a search gave nothing |

With **Full job ad and details** (on by default) also:

| Field | What it is |

### How to use it

1. Paste **Search links** from arbeitsagentur.de/jobsuche, one per line — or type **Keywords** and/or **Places**. Every keyword is searched in every place; a keyword alone searches all of Germany, a place alone gives all its jobs.
2. Optionally set a **Radius**, and pick **Offer type**, **Working time**, **Home office possible**, **Contract**, **Published within**, **Hide temp agencies**, **Also show placement agencies**, an **Employer** and the **Sort** order.
3. Set **Max jobs per search**, and turn off **Full job ad and details** if the list fields are enough.
4. Press **Start**, and download the results from the **Output** tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

For a daily feed of new jobs, save your input as a task with **Published within** set to "Today" or "1 day" and schedule it every morning.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

You are charged **per job delivered** — see the price on this page. The full ad and details cost nothing extra, only time. Links that are not Jobsuche searches, places the Jobsuche does not know and searches without jobs are free.

### FAQ

**How many jobs per search?** As many as the Jobsuche shows, up to its own limit of 10,000 per search. A live run of all jobs in Berlin (about 47,000) stopped there: 9,974 jobs in 311 seconds without the full ads — the Jobsuche's order shifts a little while it is read, and the 26 jobs it showed twice were delivered once. For more, split the search by place, radius, offer type or working time.

**Why are placement agencies left out?** The website leaves out the jobs of private placement agencies (Personalvermittlung) unless you ask for them, and so does this tool: tick **Also show placement agencies**, or paste a link where you turned them on.

**Why is `employer` empty for some jobs?** Private households hire through the Jobsuche too — for household help, gardening or childcare — and the employer is then a person. Their name, street and coordinates are personal data, so only the town and postcode are kept. The same goes for an employer named only by a person's name (some sole traders do that); a business name with a person's name in it ("… Friseursalon", "… Landwirtschaft") is kept as published.

**Why are contact persons missing?** They are personal data. Every job has its `url` on arbeitsagentur.de (and often an `externalUrl`); applicants apply there.

**Does "Muenchen" work?** Yes. The Jobsuche knows places only with their umlauts; when a place is unknown, it is tried once more with ä, ö and ü.

**Is this affiliated with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit?** No. This is an independent tool that reads the job ads the Bundesagentur für Arbeit publishes in its Jobsuche on arbeitsagentur.de.
