JobScout24.ch Scraper - Swiss Job Board Data Extraction

Scrape job listings from JobScout24.ch, a major Swiss general job board covering all 26 cantons. Returns title, company, location, canton, employment type, workload, salary, contact details, apply URL, full description, requirements, company benefits, and company rating. No login required. Pay-per-result.

JobScout24.ch carries listings in German, French, and Italian across every sector - IT, engineering, finance, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, and more - making it a strong complement to the JobCloud family (jobs.ch, jobup.ch) for comprehensive Swiss market coverage.

Features

• Three input modes: searchQueries (keywords) · directUrls (single-job re-scrape / still-alive checks) · searchQuery (legacy single keyword, backward compatible)
• Regional targeting: 11 Swiss regions including Zurich, Bern, Basel, Romandie, Tessin, Graubunden, Wallis, and Remote
• Category filtering: 15 career categories from IT and Engineering to Healthcare, Legal, and Hospitality
• Employment type filter: Full-time, Part-time, Temporary, Apprenticeship, Internship
• Sort order control: newest (Currentness), relevance, title, company, location via server-side sortby URL parameter
• Job status detection on direct-URL mode: online, expired, unknown. Job pages that are gone or offline (404, 410, "job not found" or expired pages) produce no row and are not charged; the run still succeeds and the final status message tells you how many URLs were skipped
• Top listing flag: identifies promoted placements in SERP results
• Workload range extraction: workload_min and workload_max percentages (Swiss standard)
• Full description in plain text and snippet formats; structured requirements array
• Company enrichment: description, rating, review count, social media URLs, benefits list
• Contact extraction: salutation, first name, last name, email, phone, position from detail pages
• Apply URL and apply email extracted from detail pages
• Fast SERP-only mode: includeJobDetails: false skips detail pages for bulk collection
• Multi-query deduplication across all keyword runs in a single actor invocation
• Concurrent detail fetching (5 workers, batches of 50) for efficient throughput
• 3-tier proxy fallback (user proxy → auto → direct) for resilience
• 128 MB memory footprint; written in Go for low compute-unit cost

Input fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	-	One or more keywords. Each runs as a separate search; results are deduplicated.
searchQuery	string	-	Single keyword (legacy, backward compatible). Use searchQueries for new integrations.
directUrls	string[]	-	Job detail page URLs to scrape directly, skipping search. Use for still-alive checks or targeted re-scrapes.
region	enum	All regions	Swiss region filter: zurich, bern, basel, aargau, ostschweiz, zentralschweiz, romandie, tessin, graubunden, wallis, remote
category	enum	All categories	Career category filter: it, engineering, finance, sales, marketing, hr, healthcare, education, hospitality, construction, logistics, administration, management, legal, customer-service
employmentType	enum	All types	Employment type filter: full-time, part-time, temporary, apprenticeship, internship
sortBy	enum	newest	Sort order: newest (most recently posted first), relevance (JobScout24 default ranking), title (job title A-Z), company (company name A-Z), location (place of work A-Z).
postedWithinDays	int	0 (off)	Only jobs posted within the last N days. Day granularity (the site shows ages like New, 1 d), boundary inclusive: 1 keeps today and yesterday. Applied server-side and before detail fetch and billing. Jobs without a date are kept.
maxAgeHours	int	0 (off)	Co-canonical with postedWithinDays; if both are set the stricter wins. With job details on, the exact posting time is checked before billing; in SERP-only mode it is evaluated per calendar day (Europe/Zurich) because the site has no hour-level ages.
titleFilter	string	empty (off)	Comma-separated terms, case-insensitive substring OR-match on the job title (e.g. Laborant, Chemiker, QC). Applied before the detail fetch and billing.
includeJobDetails	bool	true	Visit each job's detail page for full description, contact info, apply URL, and company data. Set false for fast SERP-only collection.
maxResultsPerQuery	int	100	Per-keyword result cap. Set to 0 for unlimited per query.
maxResults	int	0	Global cap across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited.

Contact fields are read from the contact block at the end of the ad text, so they are filled only when the ad names a contact person, phone or email.

Pricing (Pay-per-event)

Event	Description	When it fires
apify-actor-start	One-time run start fee (a tiny amount)	Every run, once
apify-default-dataset-item	One price per result	Once for every job saved to the dataset

Every saved job costs the same per-result price, whether or not the full job page was read. Job pages that are gone or offline produce no row and cost nothing. If you set a maximum cost per run, the run stops saving jobs once that limit is reached and ends as succeeded.
