## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🇨🇭 Jobs.ch Scraper — Swiss Job Listings & Salaries

Scrape public job listings from **jobs.ch**, Switzerland's #1 job board, and export clean, structured data. Search by keyword, narrow down by **location** (city, region or canton) and **workload** (full-time or part-time) — or paste a ready-made jobs.ch search or job URL — and get one tidy row per job: title, company, location, employment grade, employment type, category, publication date and the listing link. Download everything as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull it straight from the API.

Great for job-market research, salary benchmarking, recruiting and sourcing, building a job feed, or tracking new openings across Switzerland.

### What it does

- 🔍 **Search by keyword** — find jobs by role, skill or title (e.g. `developer`, `pflegefachfrau`, `marketing manager`). Leave it empty to collect every published job.
- 📍 **Filter by location** — limit results to a Swiss city, region or canton (e.g. `Zurich`, `Geneva`, `Vaud`, `Basel`).
- 📊 **Filter by workload** — set a minimum and/or maximum employment grade (e.g. 80–100% for full-time, or up to 60% for part-time).
- 🌐 **English, German or French** — pick the language for listing links and descriptions.
- 🔗 **Paste Start URLs** — drop in any jobs.ch search or job URL straight from your browser.
- 🧾 **Rich job fields** — title, company, location, employment grade, employment type, category, publication date, coordinates and company logo.
- 🔎 **Optional full details** — enable *Include full details* for the full description, profession, category, working hours and salary (when published).
- 📤 **Clean, flat output** — ready for spreadsheets, databases and dashboards.

### Input

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Search keywords** | Keywords to search for. Leave empty to collect all published jobs. |
| **Location** | Optional Swiss city, region or canton to limit the search. |
| **Minimum / Maximum workload (%)** | Optional employment-grade range (e.g. 80–100% for full-time). |
| **Language** | Language for listing links and descriptions: English, German or French. |
| **Start URLs** | Optional list of jobs.ch search or job URLs. When set, these are used instead of the fields above. |
| **Include full details** | Fetch each job's detail page for extra fields. Slower, richer output. |
| **Max items** | Maximum number of jobs to collect (0 = no limit). |

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).
