Scrape job listings from stepstone.de, one of Germany's largest job boards. Paste any stepstone.de search URL - any role, any city - and get clean rows with title, company, location, salary (when disclosed), work model, posted date and the apply link. StepStone is heavily anti-bot protected; this actor handles that automatically so you just get the data. No API key needed on your side.

What you get per job

Field	Meaning
title / url / id	Job title, canonical stepstone.de posting URL, and id
company	Hiring company name
location	Job location
salary	Salary range, when the employer disclosed one
workModel	Remote / hybrid / on-site label, when shown
postedDate	Relative posting age (e.g. "vor 3 Tagen")
teaser	Short job-description snippet
companyLogo	Employer logo URL

Input

{ "startUrls": ["https://www.stepstone.de/jobs/software-developer/in-berlin"], "maxPagesPerUrl": 1 }

• Search URLs - build a search on stepstone.de (role + city + filters), then paste the URL. One per line.
• Import 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.
• Output fields - trim every record to exactly the columns you need for lean CSV/Sheets exports.

Leave everything empty and the run returns a small free sample so you can see the shape first.

Reliability

stepstone.de is protected by enterprise anti-bot (Akamai), which blocks both plain HTTP clients and ordinary headless browsers. This actor routes each request through a premium unblocking layer that solves the challenge and returns the real page, then parses the server-rendered job cards - so runs are stable and every core field (title, company, location, apply link) comes back populated. You are only ever billed for jobs actually saved.

On top of that, the results page is verified against the search's own job count: if StepStone's anti-bot layer serves a partially rendered page (fewer cards than the search says it should hold), it is automatically refetched on a fresh route - up to 3 fetches, keeping the best. A page that somehow stays short after refetching is disclosed in the run's status message instead of being passed off as complete.

Notes

• Results per URL - StepStone serves the results list one page at a time; this actor returns the first page (~25 jobs) per search URL. For broader coverage, pass several search URLs (different roles and cities) - each is scraped independently and results are de-duplicated by apply link.
• salary is only published on a minority of German postings; it is captured verbatim when present and left empty otherwise, so you can filter for disclosed-salary roles.

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

• 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.

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.
