Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Swiss Job Channel Scraper Scrapes job listings from Swiss job portals **emploi-bancassurance.ch** and **managementstellen.ch** — extracts structured job data, contact emails, and company details with smart deduplication and anti-bot bypass. --- #### Key highlights - No cookies or login required - Smart email extraction with priority ranking (personal > HR > info) - Automatic deduplication — never scrapes the same job twice - Full pagination support across all category pages - Anti-bot bypass with profile rotation and CAPTCHA handling - Kununu company rating extraction - Raw HTML storage for each job in key-value store - Outputs clean JSON ready for CRMs, spreadsheets, or databases --- #### What data does it extract? Each result contains: **Job details:** job title, full job description (up to 5,000 characters), employment type (e.g., 80–100%) **Company info:** company name, company website, Kununu rating **Contact data:** contact person name, primary email (prioritized), all emails found on page, email source tracking **Metadata:** unique job ID, source URL, final URL (after redirects/iframes), listing page URL, scrape timestamp All data is exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel via Apify dataset export. --- #### Use cases - **Recruitment:** Source Swiss banking, insurance, and management job postings with direct contact emails - **Lead generation:** Build prospect lists of Swiss companies that are actively hiring - **Market research:** Analyze job trends, salary ranges, and employment types in the Swiss job market - **CRM enrichment:** Bulk-enrich your contact database with verified job posting data - **Competitive intelligence:** Monitor which companies are hiring and for what roles - **HR analytics:** Track job posting volumes across categories and time periods --- #### How to use 1. Click **Try for free** above 2. In the **Input** tab, add one or more job category URLs from `emploi-bancassurance.ch` or `managementstellen.ch` 3. Set **Max Requests per Crawl** to control how many job detail pages to scrape (default: 10) 4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete (typically 2–5 minutes for 10 jobs) 5. Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the **Output** tab > **Tip:** Enable **Swiss Residential Proxy** (default: on) for best success rates. This requires an Apify Proxy subscription. --- #### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | Array of URLs | Yes | — | Job category page URLs from `emploi-bancassurance.ch` or `managementstellen.ch`. Example: `https://emploi-bancassurance.ch/assurance-de-personnes` | | `maxRequestsPerCrawl` | Integer | No | `10` | Maximum number of job detail pages to scrape. Set to `0` for unlimited. | | `maxConcurrency` | Integer | No | `1` | Parallel page processing (1–5). Keep at `1` to avoid detection. | | `useProxy` | Boolean | No | `true` | Enable Swiss residential proxy. Required for production; disable for local testing. | --- #### Output example ```json { "jobId": "324c5a684d", "jobTitle": "Gestionnaire en assurances entreprises", "jobDescription": "Nous recherchons un(e) gestionnaire expérimenté(e) pour rejoindre notre équipe...", "companyName": "Helvetia Insurance AG", "companyWebsite": "https://www.helvetia.com", "location": "Lausanne, VD", "contactPerson": "Marie Dupont", "contactEmail": "marie.dupont@helvetia.com", "email_source": "personal_match", "allEmails": ["marie.dupont@helvetia.com", "hr@helvetia.com"], "employmentType": "80-100%", "kununuRating": "4.2", "sourceUrl": "https://emploi-bancassurance.ch/job/gestionnaire-assurances/324c5a684d", "finalUrl": "https://helvetia.com/careers/324c5a684d", "sourceListingUrl": "https://emploi-bancassurance.ch/assurance-de-personnes", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-14T10:30:00.000Z" } ```` *** #### Pricing This Actor is **free to use** — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage. A typical run of 10 jobs costs approximately **$0.05–$0.15** in Apify platform credits (including residential proxy). New Apify accounts receive **$5 in free credits** — enough for hundreds of job scrapes. *** #### Technical notes - **No account needed:** This Actor does not require any login or cookies to operate - **Residential proxies:** Swiss residential proxies (`CH` country code) are recommended for reliable scraping. The target sites actively block datacenter IPs. - **Anti-bot bypass:** Uses Patchright (Playwright fork) with Chrome in headed mode, profile rotation every 50 requests, and automatic CAPTCHA detection/retry - **Iframe handling:** Automatically detects and follows iframe content on job detail pages - **Deduplication:** Each job gets a unique ID from the URL — duplicates are automatically skipped across pagination - **Rate limits:** Max concurrency of 1 is recommended to avoid triggering anti-bot protections - **Data freshness:** All data is scraped live — no cached or stale data *** #### Integrations Outputs are compatible with: - **Make (formerly Integromat):** Use the Apify module to trigger runs and send data to Google Sheets or Airtable - **Zapier:** Connect Actor runs to 5,000+ apps via the Apify Zapier app - **n8n:** Self-host and automate via the Apify n8n node - **Google Sheets:** Export dataset directly as CSV and import - **REST API:** Run the Actor programmatically and poll results via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api) *** #### Support Have questions or found a bug?
