## 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 & Jobup.ch Scraper — Swiss Job Postings (DE + FR)

Extract structured job postings from **jobs.ch** and **jobup.ch** — German-speaking *and* French-speaking Switzerland — in a single run. You get clean JSON records, not scraped HTML.

### Why this scraper

- **Both language regions in one run.** jobs.ch (DE/EN) and jobup.ch (FR) are separate sites; most scrapers cover only one. Select both and you have the whole Swiss market.
- **Stable fields.** It reads the Schema.org `JobPosting` data the boards publish for machines, so the output does not break every time a page layout changes.
- **You pay only for jobs delivered.** $1.50 per 1,000 postings. Filtered or unparseable listings cost you nothing.
- **Polite by design.** Low concurrency, public listing and detail pages only, no login and no personal data.
- **Maintained continuously.** The boards are monitored daily; when they change, this Actor is updated.

### What you get per job

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `title`, `company` | Job title and hiring company |
| `city`, `postalCode`, `country` | Location, usable for canton and region grouping |
| `salary` | Published salary range when the employer discloses one |
| `workload` | Swiss-style workload percentage, e.g. 80–100% |
| `employmentType` | Permanent, temporary, internship, apprenticeship … |
| `industry`, `skills` | Sector and listed skill requirements |
| `datePosted`, `scrapedAt` | When it was published and when it was collected |
| `description` | Full description as plain text (optional) |
| `language`, `board`, `url`, `id` | Posting language, source board, direct link, stable ID |

### Sample output

```json
{
  "id": "b565e141-33d6-49e2-b10e-28a4dd08995e",
  "title": "Fachangestellte:r Gesundheit EFZ",
  "company": "Insel Gruppe Bern",
  "city": "Bern",
  "postalCode": "3010",
  "country": "CH",
  "employmentType": "Permanent position",
  "workload": "25.2 - 25.2 hours/week",
  "salary": null,
  "datePosted": "2026-08-14T15:47:23+02:00",
  "industry": "Health care / Social services",
  "language": "de/en",
  "board": "jobs.ch"
}
```

### Input

| Option | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Search keywords | Any language, e.g. `software engineer`, `infirmier`, `Buchhalter`. Leave empty for all newest postings |
| Location filter | City, region or canton, e.g. `Lausanne`, `Zürich`, `Vaud` |
| Job boards | jobs.ch, jobup.ch, or both |
| Max jobs | Hard cap on delivered postings, so cost is predictable |
| Include full description | Full text on or off |

### Cost

1,000 jobs = **$1.50**. A daily 300-job monitoring run costs about **$0.45 per day**. Compute is included — no separate platform usage bill.

### Use cases

- **Recruiting and sourcing** — track new openings by role, canton or company
- **Lead generation** — companies that are hiring are companies that are buying
- **Salary and market research** — Swiss compensation and demand trends by region and language area
- **Job aggregation** — feed your own board, newsletter or Telegram channel

### FAQ

**Does it need a login or cookies?** No. Only public listing and detail pages are fetched.

**Can I scrape only French-speaking Switzerland?** Yes — select jobup.ch only. For German-speaking Switzerland, select jobs.ch.

**Can I run it on a schedule?** Yes. Set up an Apify schedule and enable *Append to persistent history dataset* under Advanced — every run then appends to a named dataset in your account, so you build a job-market time series instead of isolated run outputs.

**How fresh is the data?** Every run reads the boards live at that moment.

**Do I get the employer's own application link?** Yes, each record carries the direct posting URL.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

What to search for, e.g. 'software engineer', 'infirmier', 'Buchhalter'. Leave empty to scrape all recent postings.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, region or canton, e.g. 'Lausanne', 'Zürich', 'Vaud'. Optional.

## `boards` (type: `array`):

Which boards to scrape.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "software engineer"
}' |
apify call montkit/swiss-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,montkit/swiss-jobs-scraper"

    }
}

```

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).
