## 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

## Germany Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper (Jobsuche, 1M+ jobs)

Search the **Bundesagentur für Arbeit Jobsuche** (arbeitsagentur.de) — Germany's largest job database, with roughly a million open positions — and get clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Filter by keyword, city/postcode and radius, offer type (jobs, apprenticeships, internships), working time, and publication date. Optionally fetch the full job description.

Uses the same public JSON interface as the official Jobsuche web app (current v6 search endpoint — the older v4 endpoint most tutorials use now returns 403).

### What you get

One schema shared by every nichedata job Actor:

```json
{
  "id": "arbeitsagentur.de:10001-1003955916-S",
  "source": "arbeitsagentur.de",
  "url": "https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/jobsuche/jobdetail/10001-1003955916-S",
  "title": "Buchhalterin",
  "company": "Leonhardt Martin West-Apotheke",
  "location": { "city": "Landau in der Pfalz", "region": "RP", "country": "DE" },
  "postedAt": "2026-11-03",
  "employmentType": "UNBEFRISTET",
  "categories": ["Buchhalter/in"],
  "extra": { "referenceNumber": "10001-1003955916-S", "mainOccupation": "Buchhalter/in", "contractDuration": "UNBEFRISTET",
             "workingTimeFlags": ["TeilzeitAbend", "TeilzeitNachmittag", "TeilzeitVormittag"], "postcode": "76829",

}
```

### Use cases

- **Recruiting and staffing** — daily feeds of new jobs by occupation and region (*Only new jobs*).
- **Labour-market analytics** — demand by occupation, region, working-time model.
- **Lead generation for HR tech** — which employers are hiring what, where (company-level, no personal data).
- **Apprenticeship (Ausbildung) search products.**

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "Buchhalter"
}' |
apify call nichedata/germany-arbeitsagentur-jobs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nichedata/germany-arbeitsagentur-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).
