  "queries": ["comptable", "controlleur de gestion"], // OR: one title per entry, searched separately + merged
  "location": "Genève",              // city, canton, region, or postal code
  "language": "en",                  // "en" or "fr" (job descriptions stay in their original language)
  "sortBy": "date",                  // "relevance" | "date" | "random"
  "employmentType": "permanent",     // "" | permanent | temporary | freelance | internship | apprenticeship | side-job

  "publishedSinceDays": 7,
  "maxResults": 100,
  "includeDetails": true,            // fetch full description, apply URL, address, end date

  "incrementalMode": false, "stateKey": "sw-eng-geneva" // change feed across runs
}

Output: one record per job — id, title, company, companyId, place, zipcode, canton, employmentGrades [min,max],
employmentTypes, categories, description, descriptionHtml, applyUrl, applicationMethod, isPaid,
initialPublicationDate, publicationDate, publicationEndDate, url, source. Incremental mode adds
changeType (NEW/UPDATED/UNCHANGED/REAPPEARED/EXPIRED), isRepost, repostOfId.
Pricing: pay-per-result, from $0.79 to $0.99 per 1,000 jobs. API docs: https://docs.apify.com/api/v2

What does the Jobup.ch Scraper do?

The Jobup.ch Scraper extracts structured data from jobup.ch without touching an official API. Use it to:

• 🔍 Search by keyword — every keyword in one search must match the same job, so use the Several job titles input to search a list of alternative titles and merge the results.
• 📍 Filter by location — city, canton, region, or postal code (e.g. Genève, Vaud, Lausanne, 1200).
• 🧰 Filter by workload and employment type — keep only full‑time‑friendly roles (≥80%), only part‑time roles (≤60%), or a specific contract type: permanent, temporary, freelance, internship, apprenticeship, side job.
• 🏢 Skip staffing agencies — one toggle removes reposts from Adecco, Manpower, Randstad, Hays, and similar recruiters, so you see only direct employers.
• 📄 Fetch full job details — complete description (plain text and HTML), apply URL, application method, street address, and publication end date.
• 🔗 Paste search URLs — copy a filtered jobup.ch results URL straight from your browser, or drop in individual job‑detail URLs.
• 🔁 Track changes over time — incremental mode annotates every record with a changeType (NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED) and flags reposted listings, turning a scheduled run into a job‑change feed.
• 🤖 Feed AI agents — compact output mode returns core fields only, ideal for LLM and MCP pipelines without token overhead.

It is a practical jobup.ch API alternative for recruiters, job aggregators, labour‑market researchers, and relocation services that need Swiss job data at scale.

How to scrape jobup.ch

1. Open the Jobup.ch Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Enter a keyword in Search keywords, or add several alternative titles under Several job titles.
3. Optionally set a Location, choose an Employment type, or set a workload range.
4. To reuse a search you already built on the site, copy its URL from your browser and paste it into Start URLs.
5. Set Max results (start low — 25 or 50 — to preview output cheaply).
6. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
7. To monitor a search, enable Incremental change tracking, set a State key, and schedule the actor to run daily or hourly.

Pricing

This actor uses the pay‑per‑result pricing model.

Event	Price per 1,000 jobs
job-scraped (Free tier)	$0.99
job-scraped (Bronze / Silver)	$0.89
job-scraped (Gold)	$0.79

You are charged once per job record written to the dataset. Scraping 1,000 jobs with full details costs about $0.79–$0.99 depending on your Apify plan. Incremental runs are far cheaper because only changed records are emitted after the first baseline run. Apify's free monthly usage credits apply.

How it works

1. The actor queries the public jobup.ch search endpoint, paginating through results (up to 2,000 per search).
2. Client‑side filters (workload, staffing agency, publication date) are applied to each result.
3. When Fetch full job details is on, each job's detail page is fetched and parsed for the description, apply URL, application method, address, and end date.
4. In incremental mode, each record's tracked content is hashed and compared with the state stored under your State key to assign a changeType.
5. Records are pushed to the dataset and are immediately available via the Apify API, integrations, and webhooks.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape jobup.ch? Scraping publicly available information is legal in most jurisdictions, including the EU and Switzerland. This actor collects only public job postings and does not access private accounts or personal candidate data. You are responsible for how you use the data — in particular, comply with the GDPR / Swiss FADP and jobup.ch's terms. See Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.

Why does my keyword search return nothing? jobup.ch requires every keyword in a single search term to match the same job. Lagerist Maschinenführer matches no job, while Lagerist and Maschinenführer each return hundreds. Put alternative titles in the Several job titles input instead.

How many results can I get per search? The public jobup.ch API returns at most 2,000 results per search. Split a broad search by location or employment type to go beyond that.

Does language affect the job descriptions? No. language controls the job‑page URL locale and platform text only. Employers post descriptions in one language (usually German or French) and that is what you receive.

Can I get only jobs from direct employers? Yes. Set Company type to exclude-agencies to drop reposts from staffing agencies such as Adecco, Manpower, Randstad, and Hays.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler with Incremental change tracking enabled to build a feed of new, updated, and expired jobs.

How do I call this actor from my code? Use the Apify API or a client library:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("parsebird/jobup-ch-scraper").call(run_input={
    "query": "software engineer",
    "location": "Genève",
    "maxResults": 100,
})
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["title"], job["company"], job["url"])

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/jobup-ch-scraper').call({
    query: 'software engineer',
    location: 'Genève',
    maxResults: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((job) => console.log(job.title, job.company, job.url));

Something looks wrong or missing. Open an issue on the Issues tab. Include your input and the run ID.
