Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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 ```json { "sites": ["ostjob.ch", "jobbasel.ch"], "search": "informatik", "onlineSinceDays": 14, "enrichContacts": true, "maxItems": 300 } ```` ### Example output One item per job: ```json { "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. # Actor input Schema ## `sites` (type: `array`): Which boards to scrape. Allowed: ostjob.ch, myjob.ch, zentraljob.ch, jobbasel.ch, jobbern.ch, jobmittelland.ch. Empty scrapes all. ## `search` (type: `string`): Optional keyword filter. Leave empty for all jobs. ## `onlineSinceDays` (type: `integer`): Only include jobs published within the last N days. ## `enrichContacts` (type: `boolean`): When a listing has no email, open its detail page to extract an email and phone. Slower but gives more contact data. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of jobs to return across all sites. 0 means no limit. ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on API pages fetched per site. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sites": [ "ostjob.ch", "myjob.ch", "zentraljob.ch", "jobbasel.ch", "jobbern.ch", "jobmittelland.ch" ], "search": "", "onlineSinceDays": 30, "enrichContacts": false, "maxItems": 200, "maxPagesPerSite": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Scraped Swiss regional job listings, stored in the default dataset. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
