## 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

### 🚀 StepStone Austria Jobs Scraper

Extract job postings from **StepStone.at**, one of Austria's leading job boards. The **StepStone Austria Jobs Scraper** turns any keyword, location or StepStone.at search URL into structured job data, and can add the **full job description, contract and work type, and the employer's profile** for every posting.

### ✨ Features

- 💼 **Complete job data**: title, company, location, remote/hybrid flag, exact posting date, benefits, labels and job URL for every result.
- 📝 **Full descriptions**: turn on details to get the whole job ad as clean text, split into sections (introduction, tasks, profile, benefits, contact).
- 🏢 **Employer profiles**: company website, address, size, industry, rating and review count, ready for lead generation and enrichment.
- 🔍 **Search or paste URLs**: use keyword + location, or paste any StepStone.at search page with its filters, a company's jobs page, or single job URLs. A pasted page 3 starts at page 3.
- 🆕 **New jobs only**: schedule the scraper and receive only the jobs posted since the previous run, without duplicates or reposts.
- 📚 **Every page**: the scraper walks a search to its last page and saves each job once, even across overlapping searches.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Describe the search** – enter a job title or keyword and a location in Austria (`Wien`, `Graz`, `Linz`, `Tirol`), or paste StepStone.at URLs.
2. **Choose the depth** – keep it fast with listings only, or enable **Scrape full job details** for descriptions and employer profiles.
3. **Run the scraper** – download the jobs as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API. Enable **Only new jobs since the last run** on a schedule to build a job alert feed.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field                                | Description                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Job title or keyword**             | What to search for, e.g. `Softwareentwickler`, `Buchhalter`, `Projektleiter`.                |
| **Location**                         | City, state or postcode in Austria, e.g. `Wien`, `Graz`, `Salzburg`. Empty = all of Austria. |
| **Date posted**                      | Any time, last 24 hours or last 7 days.                                                      |
| **Sort by**                          | Relevance or newest first.                                                                   |
| **StepStone.at URLs**                | Optional. Search pages, company jobs pages or single job URLs. Replaces the fields above.    |
| **Scrape full job details**          | Adds the sectioned description, contract and work type, expiry date and employer profile.    |
| **Only new jobs since the last run** | For schedules: outputs only jobs posted since the previous run of the same search.           |
| **Max results**                      | Maximum number of jobs to save (default 50).                                                 |

### 💰 How much does it cost to scrape StepStone.at?

Pay only for the jobs you get, with no monthly fee:

| Event       | Price                         | When it's charged                                             |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Actor start | **$0.00005**                  | Once per run                                                  |
| Job listing | **$0.0015** ($1.50 per 1,000) | For every job saved from search results                       |
| Job details | **$0.004** ($4 per 1,000)     | Instead of the listing, for every job saved with full details |

For example, 1,000 jobs cost about **$1.50**, or **$4** with full details. A scheduled run that finds no new jobs saves nothing and costs only the start fee. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify and the scraper stops when it reaches it.

### ℹ️ Good to Know

- Austrian job ads state the pay in the ad text (e.g. "Einstiegsgehalt bis zu 48.000€"); it comes through in `benefits` and `description`.
- Employer website and address are present when the company maintains a StepStone profile, about every second job.
- StepStone sometimes pads short result lists with loosely related recommendations. These are left out, so the row count matches the real number of matching jobs.
- Jobs removed between the search and the detail visit are skipped and not charged. The run's status message explains any shortfall.
- This scraper covers stepstone.at (Austria).

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape StepStone.at?**
The scraper collects only publicly visible job ads. You are responsible for using the data lawfully (e.g. GDPR) and for respecting the site's terms.

**Can I use the site's own filters?**
Yes. Set the filters on stepstone.at (home office, date posted, sort), copy the URL of the results page and paste it into **StepStone.at URLs**.

# Actor input Schema

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

What to search for on stepstone.at, e.g. `Softwareentwickler`, `Buchhalter`, `Projektleiter`, `Pflege`, `SAP`. Leave empty to get every job in the location.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, state or postcode in Austria, e.g. `Wien`, `Graz`, `Linz`, `Salzburg`, `Tirol`. Leave empty for all of Austria.

## `postedWithin` (type: `string`):

Only jobs published within this period.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Order of the results. With a Max results limit this decides which jobs you get.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste stepstone.at URLs instead of using the fields above: a search page with any filters applied (`https://www.stepstone.at/jobs/developer/in-wien?wfh=2`), a company's jobs page (`https://www.stepstone.at/cmp/de/...`) or a single job (`https://www.stepstone.at/stellenangebote--...-inline.html`). A search URL with `page=3` starts at page 3. When set, keyword, location, date posted and sort are ignored.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open every job and add the full description split into sections, contract and work type, expiry date, salary where StepStone shows one, and the employer profile (website, address, size, rating). Charged as a job detail instead of a job listing.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

For scheduled runs: remember what this search returned and only output jobs posted since the previous run. The first run saves the baseline. Results are sorted newest first.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of jobs to save.

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

Proxy used to reach stepstone.at. The default works for most runs.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
