What does JobScout24.ch Jobs Scraper do?

JobScout24.ch is a Swiss job board with vacancies across every canton and industry. There is no public JobScout24 API — this JobScout24 scraper reads the site's own search and job-detail pages instead. For every job it extracts:

• 💼 Job — title, employment type (permanent, temporary, internship, freelance, part-time, apprenticeship), and workload (Pensum) range.
• 🏢 Employer — company name, logo, and company profile URL.
• 📍 Location — city and Swiss canton code.
• 📄 Description — the full job description, plus a short snippet.
• 📅 Freshness — the publication date and a direct link to the job.

Common uses: Swiss job-market research, building a jobs board or alert service, canton- and category-level hiring analysis, and monitoring specific employers.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	No	["Software Engineer"]	Job titles or keywords. Each runs a separate search; results are merged and de-duplicated. Up to 50.
location	string	No	—	Swiss city or town. Matched against each job's own location after fetching.
region	string	No	Any region	Named Swiss region (canton group). Matched against each job's canton — requires includeJobDetails.
startUrls	array	No	—	JobScout24.ch search-result or job URLs. Overrides searchQueries, location, and region.
category	string	No	Any category	One professional category (Berufsgruppe), e.g. IT, Management, Sales.
employmentType	array	No	—	permanent, temporary, internship, freelance, part-time, apprenticeship. Leave empty for all.
workloadMin / workloadMax	integer	No	—	Workload percentage range (Pensum), 0–100. Applied after fetching.
publishedSince	string	No	Any time	1 (24h), 3 (3 days), 7 (week), 30 (30 days).
language	string	No	en	en, de, or fr — site language for titles and descriptions.
maxResults	integer	No	100	Maximum jobs per search keyword (0 = unlimited). Billed rows.
includeJobDetails	boolean	No	true	Fetch the full description and detail-page fields. Turn off for a faster, lighter scan.

location and region are applied after fetching — JobScout24.ch's own location filter fields render but do not narrow results server-side, so this actor matches them itself against each job's real location and canton for reliability.

Use cases

• Swiss jobs board — feed an aggregator or alert service with live JobScout24.ch vacancies.
• Canton and category analysis — measure hiring volume by canton, professional group, and contract type.

How it works

1. Search — the scraper queries JobScout24.ch for each of your searchQueries (or startUrls), applying category, contract-type, and posted-within filters server-side.
2. Paginate — it walks through result pages until maxResults or the end of the listing.
3. Filter — location, region (canton), and workload bounds are applied to the fetched data.
4. Detail — when includeJobDetails is on, each job's detail page is fetched for the full description, canton, employment type, exact workload, and company details.
5. Rows stream to the dataset, de-duplicated across all keywords.

FAQ

Do I need a JobScout24 account or API key? No. The scraper reads public JobScout24.ch pages only. JobScout24 has no public API — this actor is the alternative.

How current is the data? Live. Each run reads JobScout24.ch at that moment. Use Apify's scheduler to keep a dataset fresh.

What does turning off includeJobDetails change? The scraper skips each job's detail page, so you get title, company, location, workload, and the job URL, but not canton, employment type, the full description, or company logo/URL — much faster for large listing-only runs.

Why do location and region sometimes return fewer jobs than expected? Both are matched against each job's real location and canton after fetching, not sent to JobScout24.ch as a server-side filter (its own location filter UI does not reliably narrow results). region also needs includeJobDetails on, since canton only appears on the detail page — the actor turns this on automatically if you set a region.

Why does maxResults sometimes overshoot slightly? It caps results per search keyword, and the last page of a search is kept in full rather than cut mid-page.

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run link — we respond quickly.

Is it legal to scrape JobScout24.ch?

JobScout24.ch job listings are public information that any visitor can see without logging in. Scraping publicly available pages is legal in most jurisdictions, and this actor does not access private data or bypass any login. You are responsible for how you use the data — follow JobScout24's Terms of Use and Swiss data-protection law, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure. See Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.
