Search for multiple job types across Austria:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Pflege", "Krankenpfleger", "Altenpflege"],
  "bundesland": "Wien",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 50,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Example 2: IT Jobs in All of Austria

Search for all IT jobs posted in the last 7 days:

{
  "searchQueries": ["Softwareentwickler"],
  "datePosted": "7",
  "sortBy": "date",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 200,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Example 3: Part-time Jobs in Salzburg

Search for part-time positions in Salzburg:

{
  "searchQueries": [""],
  "location": "Salzburg",
  "employmentType": "Teilzeit",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "includeJobDetails": true
}

Example 4: Quick Search Without Details

Fast scrape of marketing jobs (search results only):

{
  "searchQueries": ["Marketing", "Online Marketing"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 100,
  "maxResults": 0,
  "includeJobDetails": false
}

Via API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/santamaria~karriere-at-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchQueries": ["Pflege", "Krankenpfleger"],
    "bundesland": "Wien",
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 50
  }'

Via JavaScript/TypeScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
  token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
});

const run = await client.actor('santamaria/karriere-at-scraper').call({
  searchQueries: ['Pflege', 'Krankenpfleger'],
  bundesland: 'Wien',
  maxResultsPerQuery: 50,
  includeJobDetails: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log('Jobs found:', items.length);

Performance

• Without details: ~100 jobs/minute (search results only)
• With details: ~20-30 jobs/minute (full extraction)
• Parallel processing optimizes detail page fetching
• Proxy rotation prevents rate limiting

Data Quality

The actor extracts:

• High-priority fields: Always present (title, company, location, URL)
• Medium-priority fields: Usually present (salary, employment type, workload)
• Low-priority fields: Sometimes present (contact info, benefits, requirements)

Data validation ensures:

• Valid Bundesland codes
• Cleaned email and phone formats
• Proper date parsing
• HTML stripping from descriptions

Technical Details

Architecture

• Built with Apify SDK and Crawlee
• Uses Playwright for dynamic content handling
• Parallel job detail fetching (5 concurrent pages)
• Rate-limited requests (1.5s between pages)
• Automatic retry on failures
• Proxy rotation support

Limitations

• Requires JavaScript-enabled browser (Playwright)
• Cannot scrape jobs requiring login/account
• Subject to Karriere.at's robots.txt and ToS
• Rate limiting may affect large scrapes
