Swiss Regional Jobs Scraper (OstJob network)

Collect public job listings from the OstJob network of Swiss regional job boards in a single run. One actor covers all six sibling sites, which share the same public API, so there is no login and no account needed.

Sites covered:

• ostjob.ch
• myjob.ch
• zentraljob.ch
• jobbasel.ch
• jobbern.ch
• jobmittelland.ch

Use it for recruitment and lead generation, regional hiring research, or job aggregation across German-speaking and regional Switzerland.

What you get

Every job includes:

• Title, company name, and the full description (activity, requirements, offer)
• Workload range (percentage)
• City, postal code, and address
• Email and phone when the listing exposes them
• Application URL
• A direct link to the listing
• Publication date
• The source site

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
sites	list of text	all six	Which boards to scrape. Empty scrapes all six.
search	text	empty	Optional keyword filter. Empty returns all jobs.
onlineSinceDays	number	30	Only include jobs published in the last N days.
enrichContacts	boolean	false	When a listing has no email, open its detail page to extract email and phone. Slower, more contact data.
maxItems	number	0	Maximum jobs across all sites. 0 means no limit.
maxPagesPerSite	number	50	Safety cap on pages fetched per site.

Example input

{
  "sites": ["ostjob.ch", "jobbasel.ch"],
  "search": "informatik",
  "onlineSinceDays": 14,
  "enrichContacts": true,
  "maxItems": 300
}

Example output

One item per job:

{
  "id": 123456,
  "title": "Software Engineer 80-100%",
  "company": "Example AG",
  "city": "St. Gallen",
  "zip": "9000",
  "address": "9000 St. Gallen",
  "country": "CH",
  "workload": "80-100",
  "email": "jobs@example.ch",
  "phone": "+41 71 000 00 00",
  "applicationUrl": "https://example.ch/apply",
  "description": "Full job text...",
  "detailUrl": "https://www.ostjob.ch/job/123456",
  "publishedAt": "2026-06-20T00:00:00",
  "site": "ostjob.ch",
  "source": "ostjob-network"
}

How it works

For each selected site, the actor queries the public vacancy search API and pages through results sorted by date, newest first. It stops at the recency window you set. Jobs are de-duplicated across sites. Contact email and phone come from the listing when available, with an optional detail-page lookup for more coverage.

Notes

• Data comes from public job boards. Use the results in line with each site's terms and applicable data protection rules.
• Contact details appear only when the employer publishes them.
• These sites can rate-limit under load. The actor retries and continues past transient errors.
