Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 & XING Jobs Scraper – Germany, Austria, Switzerland

**All the big DACH job boards in one run.** Choose Germany, Austria or Switzerland, type a job title – the actor searches **StepStone, XING, LinkedIn, karriere.at and jobs.ch** at once and returns one clean list.

From **$1.80 per 1,000 jobs**. No login, no cookies, no API keys.

### Sources

| Country | Boards |
|---|---|
| 🇩🇪 Germany | StepStone.de, XING, LinkedIn |
| 🇦🇹 Austria | karriere.at, StepStone.at, XING, LinkedIn |
| 🇨🇭 Switzerland | jobs.ch, XING, LinkedIn |

Optional 💎 premium add-on: Indeed and Glassdoor.

### Features

- 🧹 **One clean format** for every source – same fields, ISO dates, `id` = `source:jobId`.
- 💶 **Salaries normalized** – parsed from text, converted to a **yearly amount in EUR** (daily ECB rates); estimates flagged.
- 🏠 **Remote / hybrid / onsite**, 📈 **seniority**, **department** and **65+ skills** detected for every job.
- 🔁 **Duplicates merged across boards** (`alsoFoundOn` shows where else the job was posted).
- 🏢 **Company career sites by name** – type `N26` or `datadoghq.com`; 16 platforms supported (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Personio, Teamtailor, JOIN, Softgarden, Recruitee, Workable, BambooHR, Breezy, Pinpoint, Rippling, Jobvite).
- 📊 **Company hiring signals** – open jobs, hiring velocity, departments, locations, top skills, median salary.
- 🔔 **Monitoring** – *Only new jobs* returns just what appeared since the last run; closed jobs detected on career sites.
- 🤖 Works with AI agents through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com).

### Output

Every job is one dataset item with the same fields across all sources: `title`, `company`, `location`, `city`, `country`, `postedAt`, `remote`, `employmentType`, `seniority`, `departmentGroup`, `skills`, `salaryMin/Max`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryYearlyMinEur/MaxEur`, `descriptionSnippet`, `description` (with *Full job details*), `url`, `source`. Export to Excel, CSV, JSON or connect Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n.

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).
