Xing Jobs Scraper

What does Xing Jobs Scraper do?

Xing Jobs Scraper collects structured job listings from Xing for recruiting research, salary benchmarking, hiring intelligence, and job market analysis. Search by keyword, location, date posted, or a prepared Xing jobs URL, then receive detailed records with job, company, compensation, application, location, and description data.

The Actor saves results to an Apify dataset. You can download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, connect it to automation tools, or access it from your own application through the Apify API.

Why use Xing Jobs Scraper?

• Focused job discovery - Search for roles such as software engineer, data analyst, project manager, or other professional positions.
• DACH hiring research - Collect listings from Xing for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other regions where Xing publishes relevant jobs.
• Detailed job records - Review titles, employers, locations, salary information, employment types, posting dates, application links, and descriptions.
• Freshness controls - Limit searches to jobs posted in the past 24 hours, past week, or past month.
• Predictable runs - Control both the maximum number of results and the maximum number of result pages.
• Recruiting workflow support - Send structured job data to spreadsheets, databases, dashboards, alerts, or internal hiring tools.

What data can you extract from Xing jobs?

Each dataset item represents one job listing. Fields without a value are omitted from that item, which keeps records compact. The Actor collects search metadata and enriches listings with additional information when it is available.

How to scrape Xing jobs

1. Open Xing Jobs Scraper on Apify.
2. Enter a keyword and optional location, or provide a prepared Xing jobs search URL.
3. Select a date filter and set results_wanted and max_pages for the size of the run.
4. Start the Actor and monitor the run in Apify Console.
5. Preview the dataset, download the results, or connect the dataset to your workflow.

Explicit keyword and location inputs take priority over matching filters found in a supplied search URL. Use a direct URL when you want to reuse a saved Xing search configuration.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrl	String	No	-	Direct Xing jobs search URL. Search filters can be read from the URL when explicit keyword and location values are not supplied.
keyword	String	No	-	Job title, skill, or search term, such as Data Analyst.
location	String	No	-	City, region, or country filter, such as Berlin or Germany.
date_posted	String	No	LAST_WEEK	Date filter. Supported values are LAST_24_HOURS, LAST_WEEK, and LAST_MONTH.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of job records to save.
max_pages	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of Xing result pages to process.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Residential Apify Proxy	Optional proxy settings for larger or recurring runs.

The runtime also accepts startUrls as an array of URL strings or { "url": "..." } objects. The url input is accepted as a single URL alias, and discipline is accepted as a compatible search input. These compatibility inputs may not appear in every Apify Console form configuration.

Usage Examples

Basic Keyword Search

Collect up to 30 jobs matching a role title:

{
  "keyword": "Data Analyst",
  "results_wanted": 30
}

Location and Date Filter

Collect recent project management jobs in Berlin:

{
  "keyword": "Project Manager",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "date_posted": "LAST_WEEK",
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 10
}

Search from a Prepared Xing URL

Reuse a Xing search URL when its filters are already configured:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.xing.com/jobs/t-remote?keywords=Remote&location=Berlin",
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 5
}

Compatible URL Array Input

The runtime also accepts URL entries in an array. The first non-empty URL supplies the search context:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.xing.com/jobs/t-data-analyst?location=Berlin"
  ],
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 5
}

Tips for Best Results

• Use specific keywords - A focused phrase such as Python Developer or Senior Product Manager usually produces a more useful dataset than a broad term.
• Add a location - Combine a role with a city, region, or country when your research is geographically focused.
• Choose a date range - Use LAST_24_HOURS for fresh alerts, LAST_WEEK for regular hiring reports, or LAST_MONTH for broader market research.
• Start with a small limit - Test a query with 20 to 50 results before increasing the collection size.
• Set enough pages - Raise max_pages when results_wanted is high. The run stops when it reaches the result limit or Xing returns no more listings.
• Use saved search URLs - A prepared startUrl makes recurring runs easier to reproduce.
• Expect source-dependent fields - Salary, remote status, application email, and company details are only available when Xing or the employer publishes them.
• Review recurring runs - Public job listings can change, expire, or be replaced. Check dataset previews and report source changes through the Actor Issues tab.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Airtable - Build a searchable recruiting or employer database.
• Looker Studio and BI tools - Analyze job volume, salary ranges, locations, and posting dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Xing jobs can I collect in one run?

The Actor collects up to the number set in results_wanted, subject to the available Xing results and the max_pages limit.

Can I run the Actor with only a Xing search URL?

Yes. Provide a direct Xing jobs search URL in startUrl. The Actor can use keyword, location, sorting, and supported date filters found in the URL when explicit inputs are not supplied.

Which date values are supported?

Use LAST_24_HOURS, LAST_WEEK, or LAST_MONTH in date_posted. These correspond to past 24 hours, past week, and past month.

Are full job descriptions included?

When Xing makes description data available, the dataset includes both description_text and description_html. A listing may have no description or only a partial description when the source does not publish one.

Is salary always available?

No. Salary fields depend on the employer's Xing listing. When salary information is published, the Actor can return both readable salary text and numeric salary range fields.

Why is detail_error present?

detail_error records an issue affecting additional information for one job. Other successfully collected jobs remain available in the dataset.

Can I export Xing data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

Can I schedule recurring Xing job searches?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval for hiring and market monitoring.

Is it legal to collect Xing job data?

Public job data collection may be permitted in some situations, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Xing's terms, privacy requirements, and any restrictions that apply to your use case.
