StepStone Scraper - Germany Job Listings

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by StepStone or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "StepStone" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Scrape job listings from stepstone.de, one of Germany's largest job boards, straight into JSON, CSV or Excel. Paste any StepStone search URL - any role, any city, with any of StepStone's filters - and get clean rows with the job title, company, location, posting date, remote / hybrid option, the employer's benefits, quick-apply and no-cover-letter flags, a description snippet and the job link. It reads as many result pages as you ask for, and by default returns only StepStone's exact matches for your search.

Use cases

• Hiring-market research - track demand for a role by city, week over week, with exact posting dates.
• Recruiting and sales leads - see which companies are hiring for what, with their StepStone company page.
• Remote-work analysis - compare fully remote, hybrid and on-site share by role and region.
• Benefits benchmarking - collect what employers offer (holidays, home office, mobility, training) as structured lists.
• Job alerts and aggregators - schedule a daily run on a "last 24 hours" search and push new jobs to Slack or Sheets.
• Feeding AI agents and data pipelines - clean JSON with stable field names.

How to use

1. Search on stepstone.de for a role and a city (or just one of them), and set any filters you like.
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Paste it into stepstone.de search URLs (one per line, as many as you want) and set Max pages per URL.
4. Run the Actor and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull them over the API.

Input

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/software-developer/in-berlin"],
  "maxPagesPerUrl": 5,
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "includeSuggestions": false
}

• stepstone.de search URLs - the Actor scrapes exactly the search you give it, filters included.
• Import URLs from a file - paste a whole list, or link a public .txt/.csv, a Google Sheet/Drive link, or an Apify key-value-store record.
• Max pages per URL - 25 jobs per page (default 5 pages). The run stops earlier once the exact matches run out.
• Max jobs - overall cap across all URLs.
• Include StepStone's suggestions - see "Good to know" below.
• Output fields - trim every record to exactly the columns you need.

Leave everything empty and the run returns a one-page sample search so you can see the output first.

Which StepStone URLs work

Search	Example	Works
Role in a city	stepstone.de/jobs/software-developer/in-berlin	Yes
Role anywhere in Germany	stepstone.de/jobs/data-scientist	Yes
Every job in a city	stepstone.de/jobs/in-hamburg	Yes
Any of the above with StepStone filters (home office, last 24 hours, contract type ...)	the same URL with StepStone's filter parameters	Yes
Newer /work/... search addresses	stepstone.de/work/software-developer/in-berlin	Yes
A single job posting	stepstone.de/stellenangebote--...	No - skipped, $0
Old-style search addresses	stepstone.de/5/ergebnisliste.html?...	No - skipped, $0 (StepStone now sends them to its front page; run the search again and copy the new address)

The Jobs view shows title, company, location, posting age and link as a table; every field is always in the full dataset behind it.

Good to know

• Exact matches by default. After the jobs that actually match your search, StepStone appends "suggestions": loosely related jobs and jobs in nearby towns, often in completely different roles (a software-developer search can end in call-centre and workshop jobs). The Actor stops at the last exact match, so you never pay for those. Turn on Include StepStone's suggestions to scrape everything StepStone lists; matchType then tells you which is which. StepStone's own filters apply fully to the exact matches; its suggestions do not always follow them.
• Salary is rare. German employers seldom publish a salary on StepStone's results page, so salary is usually empty. StepStone's own salary estimate fills the salaryEstimate... fields when StepStone includes it in the results, which happens on some pages and not on others.
• Data comes from the search results. That keeps runs fast and cheap. You get the description snippet, not the full job description from the posting page.
• benefits is the employer's own "what we offer" box. Most list perks such as holidays, home office and mobility; a few employers put other text there.
• Anonymous postings have no company name or company page.
• A wrong address is reported, not retried. If StepStone answers "page not found", the run tells you to check the address and moves on. A search with no results ends with a clear message and costs nothing.

How much does it cost to scrape StepStone?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• Job scraped - One stepstone.de job listing: title, company, location, salary, work model, posted date and apply link.

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/stepstone-scraper').call({
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/software-developer/in-berlin"
    ],
    "maxPagesPerUrl": 1
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server - describe the data you need and let the assistant run this Actor for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• New jobs every day: apply StepStone's "Neuer als 24h" (newer than 24 hours) filter, copy that URL, and schedule a daily run.
• Several roles or cities: paste one search per line; duplicates across them are removed.
• Lean exports: use Output fields to keep only the columns your spreadsheet needs; benefits and teaser are the largest fields.
