## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does Jobagent.ch Scraper do?

**Jobagent.ch Scraper** extracts **job listings** from [Jobagent.ch](https://www.jobagent.ch/) — Switzerland's semantic job search engine that aggregates more than 250,000 open positions from company career pages and job boards. Paste a keyword search URL, a company profile URL, or a single job URL and export structured job data without coding.

### Why scrape Jobagent.ch?

- **Broader coverage** — Access jobs aggregated from employer websites, not only traditional job portals.
- **Semantic search** — Capture results from keyword searches across Swiss cantons and industries.
- **Recruitment intelligence** — Track hiring trends, workloads, and employers across Switzerland.
- **Apify platform** — Schedule runs, export JSON/CSV/Excel, monitor failures, and integrate via API.

### How to scrape Jobagent.ch

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more **jobagent.ch URLs** under **Start URLs**.
3. Set **Maximum items** (jobs per start URL).
4. Optionally set **Filter date** to scrape only jobs posted on or after that day.
5. Keep **residential proxies** enabled for reliable access.
6. Run the Actor and download results from the dataset tab.

### Input

Jobagent.ch Scraper accepts **Start URLs**, **maxItems** (per start URL), optional **filterDate**, and **proxy configuration**. See the **Input** tab in Apify Console for details.

Supported start URLs:

- Keyword search: `https://www.jobagent.ch/search?terms=Informatiker`
- Search with location: `https://www.jobagent.ch/search?terms=Software&location=Zurich`
- Company jobs: `https://www.jobagent.ch/company/swisscom/`
- Job detail pages: `https://www.jobagent.ch/job/{slug}/{id}`

**Filter date:** Set `filterDate` to `2026-06-01` or `01.06.2026` to collect only jobs posted on or after that date. During search crawling, pagination stops automatically when an older listing is reached.

### Output example

```json
{
  "jobId": "3249326664",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer (w/m/d)",
  "url": "https://www.jobagent.ch/job/senior-software-engineer-w-m-d/3249326664",
  "companyName": "TEQABLE",
  "location": "Zürich",
  "city": "Zürich",
  "country": "CH",
  "datePosted": "2026-06-20",
  "categories": "Informatik",
  "employmentTypes": ["FULL_TIME"],
  "workload": "80-100 %",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.jobagent.ch/search?terms=Informatiker"
}
```

You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

### How much does scraping Jobagent.ch cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing on Apify. You pay a small per-run start fee plus a per-job listing fee, and **Apify platform usage** (compute and residential proxy traffic) is billed separately. Residential Swiss proxies are used by default because jobagent.ch applies bot protection. Check the **Pricing** tab on Apify Store for current rates and volume discounts.

### Integrations

Connect Jobagent.ch Scraper to **Zapier**, **Make**, **Google Sheets**, or your own pipeline via the Apify API. Schedule daily runs to monitor new Swiss job postings automatically.

### Tips

- Use specific keyword searches (`terms=`) to keep result sets focused.
- Add `location=` or `provinces=` query parameters to narrow results by region.
- Set **Filter date** for incremental runs that only pick up newly posted jobs.
- Start with a low **maxItems** value for testing, then scale up for production runs.

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).
