StepStone Jobs Scraper: Germany job listings by keyword, location and radius

Scrape job listings from StepStone.de and get one clean dataset: title, company, location, posted date, expiry date, estimated salary range, remote flag, job URL, company URL and a text snippet, plus, if you ask for it, the full job description, employment type and industry. Search by keyword and location (with radius), or paste any StepStone search URL. Filter by posted-since, remote, title words and employment type before you pay. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the API.

Use it for job-market and hiring-trend research, salary benchmarks, lead lists for recruiters and staffing firms, competitor hiring signals, job aggregators and alerts, and LLM/RAG pipelines. Works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server. It reads public search and job pages only: no login, no cookies, no personal data.

Same schema as our ATS Jobs Scraper and Workday, SmartRecruiters & Personio Jobs Scraper: company career sites and the biggest German job board in one dataset shape (company, platform, companyName, jobId, title, location, locations[], isRemote, employmentType, postedAt, jobUrl, salaryMin/Max...), so rows can be merged.

Why this one

• Filters that work before charging. Keyword, location and radius are applied by StepStone itself; posted-since (1, 7, 30 days server-side, exact cut-off on the date), remote, title words and employment type are applied by the actor. Jobs that do not match are not returned and not charged.
• Simple pricing. $0.0007 per job, +$0.0003 per job only if you switch on descriptions. Max jobs in total caps every run.
• Keeps running when a page fails. A bad URL or a page that does not load gets one error row with the reason; other searches continue. It stops politely after 3 failed pages in a row.
• Salary with honesty. StepStone shows an estimated range on most jobs; we return it with salaryIsEstimate: true and "(StepStone estimate)" in salarySummary. It is not the employer's figure.
• No personal data. Job fields only. No recruiter or contact names, emails or phone numbers.
• Run summary. A RUN_SUMMARY record lists pages, jobs and errors per search, MB downloaded, HTTP statuses and charged events.

Input

Field	Meaning
StepStone search URLs	Optional. e.g. https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/data-analyst/in-berlin (set filters on stepstone.de first, then paste the address)
Keywords / Locations	Optional, one per line; every keyword is searched in every location. Locations: German cities ("München", "Berlin"). Keyword only = all of Germany
Radius (km)	Optional, applied by StepStone
Posted in the last N days	Optional
Remote / home-office jobs only	Default off. StepStone has no server-side remote filter, so this checks the job's work-from-home label and "remote / home office / mobiles Arbeiten" in title and location
Title must contain	Optional words, all must appear in the title
Employment types	Optional (full time, part time, contract, temporary, internship); needs one job page per candidate
Max jobs in total / Max pages per search	Default 100 / 20 (25 jobs per page)
Include job description	Default off. One extra page load per job; job-detail event
Pacing, Proxy	2 s between page loads; Apify datacenter proxy by default

Output

Job row: company, platform ("stepstone"), companyName, jobId, title, department, team, location, locations[], workplaceType, employmentType, postedAt, updatedAt, jobUrl, applyUrl, requisitionId, isRemote, salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryInterval, salarySummary, salaryIsEstimate, expiresAt, companyId, companyUrl, snippet, industry, postalCode, country, source, searchUrl, scrapedAt and, with descriptions on, descriptionText. employmentType and industry are filled only with descriptions on. Error row: type: "error", input, error, httpStatus. See sample-output.json.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0007 per job ($0.70 per 1,000), $0.0003 per job description (only if switched on), $0.00005 per run start. Error rows, filtered-out jobs and duplicates are not charged. 1,000 jobs with descriptions = $1.00.

Public listings only, no personal data

The actor loads only public StepStone search and job pages that any visitor can open and reads the job data embedded in them. It does not log in, does not read or return recruiter or contact details, and does not bypass any account wall. Job postings belong to the employers and to StepStone: you are responsible for using the data in line with applicable law and StepStone's terms.

Notes and limits

• Not an official StepStone product. Page structure can change without notice.
• StepStone does not answer plain requests from many cloud addresses; the actor uses Apify datacenter proxy (default) and retries with a fresh session after a failed page. Do not switch to residential proxy unless you see blocks (higher cost).
• Germany (stepstone.de) only. A search page shows at most the first pages of results StepStone returns; very broad searches are best split by location.
• StepStone search is fuzzy: a keyword with few real matches still returns loosely related jobs. Use "Title must contain" to tighten.
• About 25 jobs per page load, 2 s apart: 100 jobs take about 10 s; with descriptions about 3 s per job.
