🧭 What this scraper does

Arbeitnow indexes tens of thousands of jobs concentrated on the German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) plus remote European roles. The board attracts English-friendly tech employers — startups, scaleups, larger product companies and recruiting agencies — who explicitly hire international talent and often sponsor visas or relocation packages.

This Apify Actor calls Arbeitnow's official public job-board API in a single request, parses every listing into a flat canonical row, applies your filters (free-text keyword, remote-only toggle, job-type multi-select, tag multi-select, location substring, posted-since date) and writes one record per matching job to the Apify Dataset. Output is ready for JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, Postgres, BigQuery or any ATS / CRM integration.

The postedSince filter makes daily monitoring trivial — set it to the previous run's date, schedule the Actor, and capture only newly posted jobs each day.

🎯 Built for these use cases

1. German-market & European recruiters

Maintain a continuously fresh feed of jobs across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Vienna and Zurich — plus EU-remote roles. Filter by tag and location once, schedule daily, surface new postings before your competitors.

2. Relocation & visa-sponsorship services

Arbeitnow attracts English-speaking employers who hire internationally and often sponsor visas. Filter for remoteOnly or specific German cities and you have a clean pipeline of jobs suitable for international candidates needing relocation support.

3. EU job boards & aggregator products

Power a German-market or EU-remote section on your aggregator using Arbeitnow as upstream feed. Cross-link the apply URL, store description and tags, refresh nightly with the postedSince incremental pattern.

4. German tech market analytics dashboards

Pipe rows into Looker, Metabase, Tableau or Power BI for a live picture of DACH hiring demand — by city, skill, employment type and remote-share. Track week-over-week movement of Berlin startup hiring vs. Munich corporate hiring.

5. Workforce planning for EU-headquartered companies

For HQ-in-Germany scaleups, monitor the supply side — how many senior backend roles compete for the same Berlin talent pool, what the remote-EU share is for your category.

6. Academic & policy labor research on DACH

Longitudinal Arbeitnow data is one of the cleanest public sources for English-friendly tech hiring in Germany / Austria / Switzerland — researchable by city, skill and employer type over time.

7. Lead generation — companies hiring in DACH

A Berlin scaleup hiring 5+ senior engineers right now is a high-signal sales target for German payroll providers, EOR/PEO (Deel, Remote.com, Personio, Lano), benefits brokers, recruiting agencies, dev-tools, equipment leasing, German tax/accounting SaaS and learning platforms. Aggregate by company, hand to outbound.

8. Personal job hunt — international candidates targeting Germany

Run a tightly-filtered nightly scan (React Berlin Senior, Python remote EU, Data Engineer Munich) with a rolling postedSince date and pipe new matches into Slack, Discord or email. Apply within hours when response rates are highest — visa-sponsorship roles get heavy inbound and timing matters.

⚙️ How it works

1. Initialise — read input, normalise filters to lowercase, parse postedSince to a Unix timestamp.
2. Fetch the feed — single HTTPS GET to https://www.arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api with User-Agent and Accept: application/json. The endpoint returns the full current job board in one JSON response.
3. Parse — map each raw record to the canonical schema. Strip HTML from description, collapse whitespace, convert Unix-second created_at to ISO 8601.
4. Filter client-side — keyword (title + company + description), remote-only, jobTypes (case-insensitive substring), tags (case-insensitive substring), location substring, postedSince threshold.
5. Cap to maxJobs — stop pushing once the cap is hit (maxJobs > 0).
6. Push to dataset — every match becomes one row in the Apify Dataset.
7. Finalise — emit Done. N jobs saved. and exit cleanly.

The single-request pattern keeps the Actor fast and cheap — the API tolerates this well and there is no pagination overhead.

⚡ Performance

Run size	Approx. time	Notes
100 jobs	< 15 s	Quick demo / QA test
500 jobs	< 30 s	Recruiter daily slice
1,000 jobs	< 45 s	Full daily incremental
Full feed (unlimited)	< 90 s	Complete snapshot of the board

A full board pull typically completes in under a minute end-to-end — the heavy lifting is just JSON parsing and filtering, no pagination, no headless browser.

---

💰 Cost model

Standard Apify Actor pricing — pay only for the compute and dataset storage actually consumed. No per-result surcharge, no third-party API key, no proxy spend (pure HTTPS against the official Arbeitnow API). Daily scheduled runs are inexpensive even at unlimited size because the entire feed is one request.

---

🔄 Schedule for continuous monitoring

Apify Schedules run this Actor on any cron interval. Patterns: Daily incremental DACH feed (postedSince rolled to yesterday, maxJobs: 0, 06:00 UTC); Berlin React watch (location: "Berlin", searchKeyword: "react", hourly, Slack webhook); EU-remote senior engineers (remoteOnly: true, searchKeyword: "senior", daily, push to ATS); Werkstudent / internship feed (jobTypes: ["Internship", "Traineeship"], weekly email digest). Combine with Apify Webhooks to forward fresh rows to Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Personio, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion or Airtable.

🛠️ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Arbeitnow? The Actor reads Arbeitnow's official public job-board API and only collects publicly visible data. Comply with Arbeitnow's terms, German law (UWG, BDSG, GDPR) and EU regulations. Don't republish full descriptions verbatim.

Do I need an Arbeitnow account or API key? No — the API is fully public. Only an Apify account is required.

How much data can I get in one run? The full feed comes in a single request — maxJobs: 0 returns the entire board, typically in under 90 seconds.

How do I get only new jobs each day? Use postedSince set to the previous run's date (e.g. 2026-05-14). Combined with an Apify Schedule, you get a clean incremental feed. Dedupe downstream on jobId for safety against re-posts.

Does it support German-language listings? Yes. Arbeitnow indexes both English and German postings. Use German (Werkstudent, München, Wien) and English (React, Senior, Remote) keywords as appropriate.

Can I filter by visa sponsorship? Not as a structured field, but visa-sponsorship language appears in description or tags. Filter downstream (WHERE description ILIKE '%visa%').

Can I filter by salary? Arbeitnow does not consistently publish structured salary ranges; when present, salary appears in description. Extract downstream with regex or LLM.

Does it get blocked or rate-limited? No — the official public API is reliable and not subject to anti-bot blocking.

What output formats are supported? JSON, JSONL, CSV, XLSX, XML, HTML, RSS. Pull via the Apify API or push to Google Sheets, S3, webhooks.

Can I integrate with Personio / Greenhouse / Lever / HubSpot? Yes — use Apify Webhooks on ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED to pipe rows into any ATS or CRM. Map jobId to your unique-key column so re-runs upsert.

What if Arbeitnow changes the API shape? The scraper is defensive — missing fields → null, malformed JSON triggers a clean stop. Report breakage via the Actor's Issues tab.

Can I run it from my own script? Yes — POST input JSON to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/logiover~arbeitnow-jobs-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN, poll the run, fetch dataset items.
