Xing Jobs Scraper - DACH Job Listings with Salaries

What does Xing Jobs Scraper do?

Xing Jobs Scraper collects job listings from Xing, the leading professional network and job board for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH). Search on Xing as you normally would, paste the link, and get every job as a clean row: title, company, city and region, remote option, employment type, career level, discipline, industry, salary range or Xing's own salary estimate, posted and expiry dates, apply link and the full job description.

Every filter in your link is kept: keywords, place and radius, employment type, career level, remote option, discipline, industry and the rest of Xing's filters. The Actor asks Xing's own job search for exactly the search in your link, so you get the jobs the website shows, in the same order. Xing's topic pages (such as xing.com/jobs/t-python) and single job ads work too.

Try it with the prefilled search: open the Actor, click Start, and 40 Python jobs in Berlin, with salaries and full descriptions, are ready in under 10 seconds. Running on the Apify platform also gives you API access, scheduled runs, integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, webhooks) and run monitoring.

Why scrape Xing jobs?

• Salary benchmarking. Most Xing listings carry a salary: the employer's own range or Xing's estimate for the role and place, with a median. You get them as numbers you can sort, chart and average.
• DACH labour market research. Track demand by role, city, region, career level, industry and remote share across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
• Recruitment and sales leads. See which companies are hiring, for what and where, with their Xing company page.
• Job aggregation. Feed a niche job board, newsletter or internal tool with fresh, structured listings and full descriptions.
• Monitoring. Schedule a daily run and keep only the job IDs you have not seen before.

How to scrape Xing jobs

1. Open xing.com/jobs and search: type keywords and a place, then pick any filters.
2. Copy the address from your browser's address bar, for example https://www.xing.com/jobs/search?keywords=python&location=Berlin&radius=20&employmentType=FULL_TIME.ef2fe9.
3. Paste it into Xing search or job links. Add as many links as you like, one per line.
4. Set Max jobs per search link and choose whether to include full descriptions.
5. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Input

Everything is set on the Input tab. In JSON, the input looks like this:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.xing.com/jobs/search?keywords=python&location=Berlin&radius=20&employmentType=FULL_TIME.ef2fe9",
        "xing.com/jobs/t-data-scientist",
        { "url": "https://www.xing.com/jobs/berlin-research-software-engineer-rse-158432056" }
    ],
    "maxItems": 100,
    "includeDescription": true
}

Field	What it does
startUrls	Xing links, one per line: search result pages (xing.com/jobs/search?…), topic pages (xing.com/jobs/t-python, xing.com/jobs/berlin-python, xing.com/jobs/software-engineer-jobs-in-berlin) and single job ads (xing.com/jobs/<title>-<number>). https:// is optional, and API callers can send {"url": "…"} objects.
maxItems	Stops after this many jobs from each search link. Default: 100, at most 1,000 (see Tips). A job ad link always gives its one job.
includeDescription	Adds each job's full description as plain text and HTML. Default: on. The description comes with the search results, so it costs no extra requests; turn it off only for smaller rows.
proxyConfiguration	Leave empty. The Actor reaches Xing directly and switches to Apify's proxies on its own if Xing turns a request away or hides jobs from an address. Choose a proxy only to send every request through it.

Which filters are kept?

On Xing	In the link	Example
Keywords	keywords=	keywords=python
Place and radius	location=, cityId=, radius= (km)	location=Berlin&radius=20
Employment type	employmentType=	FULL_TIME.ef2fe9, PART_TIME.58889d, INTERN.dc571c
Career level	careerLevel=	3.2ebf16 (professional), 4.83b992 (manager)
Remote option	remoteOption=	FULL_REMOTE.050e26, PARTLY_REMOTE.ca71ca, NON_REMOTE.3ca273
Discipline, industry, city, country, company, benefits	discipline=, industry=, city=, country=, company=, benefit=, benefitEmployeePerk=, benefitWorkingCulture=	discipline=1007.b61d22
Page	page=	page=3 starts at the third page of results

Several values can be given comma-separated or by repeating the parameter. Like Xing's own site, a search for fully remote jobs only ignores the place. Other parameters (such as tracking codes) are ignored. Xing's sort= setting is passed on as the site does; in our tests Xing returned the same order either way.

Output

Each job becomes one row. Here is a real one from the prefilled search, with long texts shortened:

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. The Output tab has two views: Jobs (the main columns) and Full details.

Data fields

Field	Description
jobId	Xing's job number (the number at the end of the job's link).
title	Job title.
company	The employer as the job ad names it.
companyId, companyUrl, companyLogo	The employer's Xing company number, company page and logo. Empty when the ad is not linked to a Xing company page.
city, zip, street, region, country	Where the job is. Street and postal code only when the employer gave them; country is a two-letter code such as DE, AT or CH.
remote	Full remote, Partly remote or On-site, as the employer set it; a few ads name several, comma-separated.

salaryMedian	The median of Xing's estimate (only for salaryType estimate).
salaryCurrency	Currency code: EUR, or CHF for many Swiss jobs.
salaryType	estimate (Xing's own estimate for the role and place), range (the employer's range) or exact (the employer's single figure).
postedAt, refreshedAt	When the ad was published and last refreshed, in UTC.
expiresAt	When the ad is due to go offline, in UTC.
language	The language the ad is written in, such as de or en.
applyUrl	Where to apply: the employer's own application page, or the Xing job ad when applications go through Xing.
applyOnXing	true when applications go through Xing itself rather than the employer's website.
url	Link to the job ad on Xing.
descriptionText, descriptionHtml	The full job description as plain text and as HTML. *
searchUrl	The search link you pasted that found this job; empty for job ad links.
scrapedAt	When the job was collected, in UTC.

* Only when Include full job descriptions is on; with it off, these fields are left out of the rows.

How much does it cost to scrape Xing?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a small fixed price for each job saved, and the exact price is on the Pricing tab. Full descriptions are included at no extra charge, because Xing sends them with the search results. The Actor uses plain HTTP requests (no browser) and 512 MB of memory, and each request brings back up to 20 complete jobs, so runs are quick and light.

You are never charged for links that return nothing: a search with no jobs, an expired job ad or a link that is not from Xing is listed in the run's FAILED_INPUTS record instead. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops as soon as it is reached.

Tips for scraping Xing

• Xing serves at most 1,000 jobs per search. That is Xing's own limit (50 pages of 20). Xing's result pages also repeat some jobs, so a broad search gives roughly 700 to 800 distinct jobs (in our tests 748 for "manager"); each is saved once. To collect more, split a broad search into several links, for example one per city, career level or employment type; jobs found by more than one link are saved only once.
• Let Xing filter for you. Narrow the search on Xing before copying the link; you only collect (and pay for) the jobs that match.
• Monitor new jobs. Schedule the Actor daily on your search and keep only job IDs you have not seen before; postedAt tells you when each job went online.
• Speed. 100 jobs take about 5 seconds; a full 1,000-slot search about 10 to 15 seconds.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Which links work? Xing job search pages (xing.com/jobs/search?…, including /jobs/search/ki), Xing's topic pages (/jobs/t-<keyword>, /jobs/<city>-<keyword>, /jobs/<keyword>-jobs-in-<city>) and single job ads (/jobs/<title>-<number>). Other Xing pages (profiles, company pages, news) are listed in FAILED_INPUTS with the reason.

Why do topic pages give different jobs from the search box? Xing itself turns a topic page such as xing.com/jobs/berlin-python into the keywords "Berlin Python"; the Actor does the same, so you get the jobs that page shows.

Xing finds jobs even for nonsense keywords? Xing's search is semantic: it returns the closest matches rather than nothing, on the website too. Use filters to keep results tight.

What happens to links that return nothing? They are not saved as rows, so you are not charged for them. Each is listed with its reason in the FAILED_INPUTS record of the run's key-value store, and the run's status message gives the counts. A link with a filter value Xing does not recognise (for example a hand-edited one) is reported the same way. A run fails only when Xing could not be reached for any of your links.

What are "hidden placeholders" in the status message? Xing hides some jobs from visitors outside Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the US. The Actor asks again from another address when that happens; any job Xing still hides is skipped (never saved or billed) and counted in the status message.

Is it legal to scrape Xing? This Actor collects job listings that employers publish publicly so that people can find and apply for them. It does not log in and does not collect member profiles or candidate data. Listings can still contain a recruiter's name or contact details written by the employer, and their text belongs to the employer; Xing's robots.txt also asks automated clients to stay away from its search API and some search pages. You are responsible for making sure your use complies with Xing's terms and with the laws that apply to you, such as the GDPR and copyright rules for republishing listings. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.
