MeineStadt.de Jobs Scraper

MeineStadt.de Jobs Scraper

Scrape job listings from MeineStadt.de — one of Germany's largest local job boards — into clean, structured JSON. The MeineStadt.de Jobs Scraper searches by keyword and city and pulls the job title, company, salary, employment type, and (optionally) the full description with requirements and benefits, without needing the MeineStadt.de API.

Search any keyword across a specific German city or the whole country, then optionally fetch each job's detail page for salary range, requirements, benefits, and company info — with results deduplicated across keywords automatically.

Actor: parsebird/meinestadt-de-jobs-scraper (Apify). Scrapes job listings from jobs.meinestadt.de (Germany) by keyword and city. Call with ApifyClient.
Input JSON fields: searchQueries: string[] — one or more search keywords, e.g. ["Pflege","Krankenschwester"]; searchQuery: string — single keyword, backward-compatible alternative; city: string — German city, e.g. "Berlin" (empty = all of Germany); maxResultsPerQuery: int (default 100) — max results per keyword, deduplicated; maxResults: int (default 0 = unlimited) — total cap across all keywords; includeDetails: bool (default true) — fetch full description, salary, requirements, and benefits from each job's detail page; directUrls: string[] — direct MeineStadt.de job URLs to monitor, bypassing search; proxyConfiguration: object — UNBLOCKER proxy group is required and set by default.
Output: one dataset item per job — id, title, company, location, canton, company_logo_url, search_query, employment_type,

What does MeineStadt.de Jobs Scraper do?

MeineStadt.de runs a local job board for roughly 11,000 German towns and cities, blending sponsored listings with jobs sourced directly from employers. There is no public MeineStadt.de search API — this scraper reads the site's own job-search results instead. For every keyword and city combination it extracts:

• 🏷️ Job identity — title, company, city, German state (canton), and company logo.
• 💰 Pay and terms — salary range as shown on the site, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract, apprenticeship, internship), and remote/hybrid/onsite signal.
• 📋 Full details (optional) — complete job description, required skills, company benefits, and a short company profile, fetched from each job's own detail page.
• 📅 Dates — when the job was posted and when the listing expires.

Common uses: German job-market monitoring, recruiting and sourcing research, salary benchmarking by city and role, and tracking specific listings over time.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	No	—	One or more search keywords. Each runs as a separate search; results are deduplicated across keywords.
searchQuery	string	No	—	A single search keyword (backward compatible). Ignored if searchQueries is set.
city	string	No	—	City to search in, e.g. Berlin or Munchen. Leave empty for all of Germany.
radius	integer	No	30	Accepted for compatibility (0-200 km). MeineStadt.de's city pages already include nearby-area listings by default and expose no separate radius filter, so this currently has no additional effect — see the FAQ.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	No	100	Maximum results per keyword, deduplicated. MeineStadt.de returns 5 results per page, paginated automatically.
maxResults	integer	No	0	Total cap across all keywords combined. 0 = unlimited (each keyword still capped by maxResultsPerQuery).
includeDetails	boolean	No	true	Fetch full job descriptions, salary, requirements, and benefits from each detail page. Slower but much richer.
directUrls	array	No	—	Direct MeineStadt.de job URLs to scrape, bypassing search — for monitoring specific listings.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	UNBLOCKER	Apify Proxy settings. MeineStadt.de blocks both datacenter and residential proxies; UNBLOCKER is required and set by default.

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML from the Storage tab or the Apify API.

Use cases

• Job-market monitoring — track new listings for a role and city combination over time.
• Recruiting research — see which companies are hiring, where, and at what salary.
• Salary benchmarking — compare salary_text across companies and cities for the same role.
• Listing tracking — use directUrls to watch specific job postings for changes or expiry.

How it works

1. Search — each keyword in searchQueries (or searchQuery) is combined with city into a MeineStadt.de search URL.
2. Paginate — the scraper walks result pages (5 jobs per page) until maxResultsPerQuery is reached or the site runs out of results for that keyword.
3. Deduplicate — jobs already seen (by ID) are skipped, both within a keyword and across keywords.
4. Enrich (optional) — with includeDetails on, each job's own page is fetched for the full description, requirements, benefits, and company info.
5. Rows stream to the dataset, capped by maxResults if set.

How much does it cost to scrape MeineStadt.de?

This actor is pay per result, with two events depending on how much data is fetched per job.

Event	Price per event	Price per 1,000
Job (SERP data)	$0.00099	$0.99
Job detail (full description, salary, requirements, benefits)	$0.00499	$4.99

Every saved job charges the Job event once. If includeDetails is on (the default) and the detail page was fetched successfully, the Job detail event is also charged for that job. Turn includeDetails off for a fast, cheap title/company/salary-only scan. Apify's monthly free platform usage covers small runs.

FAQ

Do I need a MeineStadt.de account or API key? No. The scraper reads public MeineStadt.de search and job pages only. MeineStadt.de has no public search API — this actor is the alternative.

Why does radius have no effect? MeineStadt.de's own city job pages already blend listings from the city and its surrounding area by default, and the site doesn't expose a separate radius query parameter to widen or narrow that. The input is kept for compatibility with other job-scraper schemas.

Why is canton sometimes missing? canton is resolved from the job's postal code first, then from the city name, using standard German postal-code and city-to-state mappings. If neither is available or recognized, it's left empty rather than guessed.

Why is my city returning jobs from all over Germany? MeineStadt.de silently falls back to nationwide results for a city slug it doesn't recognize, instead of returning an error. Spell out umlauts (Muenchen or München, not Munchen) — the actor's run log will warn you if this fallback is detected.

What does apply_url point to? The "Jetzt bewerben" (apply) button on MeineStadt.de is a JavaScript action rather than a plain link, so the underlying employer application URL isn't present in the page's HTML. apply_url points to the MeineStadt.de job page itself, where that button lives.

What proxy do I need? Apify's UNBLOCKER proxy group, which is set as the default. MeineStadt.de is protected by Akamai and blocks both datacenter and residential Apify proxies outright.

Can I get results as CSV or Excel? Yes. Use the Export button on the dataset, or request a specific format via the Apify API.

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 MeineStadt.de?

MeineStadt.de 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 MeineStadt.de's Terms of Use and applicable data-protection law, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure. See Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.
