## 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`).

`salary` is the salary text an employer states on the card; when none is stated, `predictedSalary` carries StepStone's own estimate (marked "estimated"). `employmentType`, `contractType`, `workType`, `workplaceType`, `industry`, `benefits`, `address`, `descriptionText` and `applyUrl` are filled only when `detailedInfo` is `true`; otherwise they are `null` (`workplaceType` is also set from the card when the card carries a home-office flag). `section` is `main` for jobs matching your search; when a search has few matches the site pads the list with related jobs marked `regional` or `semantic`, so filter on `section` if you only want exact matches. Applications are submitted on the job page itself, so `applyUrl` is that page.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | StepStone search URL with filters applied, e.g. `https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/data-analyst/in-berlin`. stepstone.at and stepstone.nl URLs work the same way. A URL that already contains `?page=N` starts from that page. |
| `maxPages` | Integer | `1` | Number of result pages to scrape (1–1000, 25 jobs per page). Stops early when the site has fewer pages. |
| `detailedInfo` | Boolean | `false` | Visit each job's detail page for the full description, employment/contract type, workplace type, industry, benefits and address (one extra request per job). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Proxy settings; switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/softwareentwickler?page=2",
  "maxPages": 3,
  "detailedInfo": true
}
```

##### Getting your search URL

1. Open StepStone and search with your keywords, location and filters (salary, home office, contract type …)
2. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar, e.g. `https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/data-analyst/in-berlin`
3. Paste it as the `url` input

Company pages work too, e.g. `https://www.stepstone.de/cmp/de/s-rating-und-risikosysteme-gmbh-34066/jobs` returns every open role of that employer.

#### **Is it legal to scrape StepStone data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available job data such as titles, salaries, locations and descriptions. Results may contain personal data (e.g. contact persons named in descriptions); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason. Personal data is protected by the GDPR and other regulations — consult your legal advisor if unsure.

# Actor input Schema

## `url` (type: `string`):

A StepStone search results URL (stepstone.de, stepstone.at or stepstone.nl) with your filters applied, e.g. https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/data-analyst/in-berlin. If the URL already contains ?page=N, scraping starts from that page.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

How many result pages to scrape (25 jobs each). Pagination via the ?page= query parameter; stops early when the site has fewer pages.

## `detailedInfo` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each job's detail page for the full description, employment type, contract type, workplace type, industry, benefits and address. Slower: one extra request per job.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Defaults to Apify Proxy (auto). Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty.

  "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/data-analyst/in-berlin",

```bash
echo '{

## MCP server setup

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