Arbeitsagentur Jobs Scraper

Turn Germany's largest public job database into structured data. Every listing from arbeitsagentur.de with salary range, contract type, home office option, full description and employer contact, ready for your spreadsheet, database or AI agent.

The Bundesagentur für Arbeit (arbeitsagentur.de) lists more than 800,000 open positions across Germany and Austria: from the largest corporate employers to the local bakery that will never post on LinkedIn. This scraper searches it by keyword and location, or with any filtered URL copied from your browser, and returns up to 50 clean fields per job. No login, no API key, no browser.

How it works

✨ Why teams choose this over other Arbeitsagentur scrapers

Copying job ads from arbeitsagentur.de tab by tab? Paying for a job feed that skips salary and contact details? Running a scraper that stops working after every website update?

• 🏛️ The whole German labour market, not a sample. The Bundesagentur für Arbeit is where every German employer is asked to report open positions. You get the SMEs, public sector jobs and apprenticeships that never reach commercial job boards.
• 💶 Salary ranges when employers publish them. salaryFrom, salaryTo and salaryType (yearly, hourly, fixed) come straight from the posting. In a test run of 120 electrician jobs, 39 carried a salary figure.
• 📞 Employer website and application email. The employer profile behind each posting adds the company website, headquarters, founding year, size, benefits and a contact email when the employer publishes one. Half of the 120 test jobs had a website, one in six an email.
• 🏠 Home office flags on every job. homeOfficePossible, homeOfficeType and homeOfficePercent tell you whether a job is remote friendly before you read the description.
• 🔗 Any filter from the site, no extra parameters to learn. Set radius, schedule, contract type, apprenticeships, home office or publication date on arbeitsagentur.de, copy the URL, paste it. The scraper reads the filters from the URL.
• 📍 GPS coordinates on every listing. Latitude and longitude for the primary work location, plus every additional site, ready for maps and radius analysis.
• 📄 Full job description in Markdown. The complete posting text with its headings, not a truncated teaser.
• ⚡ Results in seconds. 10 fully enriched jobs in 7 seconds, 120 in 80 seconds, measured on live runs.

📈 Performance

Metric	Value
Speed	10 enriched jobs in 7 seconds, 120 jobs in 80 seconds (measured)
Requests per job	One search page per 100 jobs plus one detail and, when available, one employer profile per job
Max results per search	10,000 (the source serves the first 10,000 matches of a query)
Catalogue size	More than 800,000 employment listings plus apprenticeships and internships, Germany and Austria
Data freshness	Live. Every run fetches the current listings, nothing is cached
Memory	128 to 256 MB

💾 Data export

Results land in an Apify dataset that you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the run page, or pull programmatically:

https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{DATASET_ID}/items?format=csv&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Array fields such as workTime and employerBenefits are flattened automatically in CSV and Excel exports.

💡 Tips for best results

1. Split large searches by region or keyword. A query returns at most 10,000 jobs. Pflege nationwide has far more; run it per Bundesland or per city to get everything.
2. Use veroeffentlichtseit for monitoring. A URL with veroeffentlichtseit=1 returns only postings published in the last 24 hours, ideal for a daily schedule that never re-scrapes old jobs.
3. Prefer postal codes for precise areas. location: "10115" targets a district; location: "Berlin" covers the whole city and its surroundings within the default radius.
4. Filter agencies out in your own code. isTempAgency and isPrivateAgency flag staffing and placement agencies so you can keep only direct employers.
5. Use sort=veroeffdatum in the URL to get the newest postings first when you cap maxItems; the default order is relevance.

❓ FAQ

What exactly does the scraper extract? Every field the public posting exposes: title, occupation, employer, location with coordinates, offer type, schedule, home office flags, contract, salary range, full description, dates and apply links, plus the employer profile (website, email, size, benefits) when the employer maintains one.

Do I need an account or API key? No. The data is public. No login, no cookies, no API key.

How do I filter by schedule, contract type or home office? Set the filters on arbeitsagentur.de, copy the URL from your browser into startUrls. Radius, schedule, contract, publication date, home office, apprenticeships and sorting are all applied.

Can I search apprenticeships and internships? Yes. Use a URL with suchbereich=ausbildung (or angebotsart=4) for apprenticeships and angebotsart=34 for internships. offerType tells you which kind of posting you got.

How fresh are the results? Live. Each run queries the source at run time, and modifiedDate tells you when the employer last updated a posting.

Why do some jobs have no salary or no email? Employers choose what to publish. Salary appears on roughly a third of postings, an email on one in six. Fields the posting does not provide are simply omitted from the record.

Is there a maximum number of results? 10,000 per search, a limit of the source. Split by region, keyword or publication date to go beyond it.

Can I run several searches in one run? Yes. Put several URLs in startUrls. Jobs that appear in more than one search are returned once; maxItems applies to the whole run.

Does it cover Austria? Austrian postings from the partner network are included in nationwide searches and carry "country": "Österreich".

What is an anonymous (Chiffre) posting? Some employers hide their name and publish under a cipher number. Those records have isAnonymous: true and a cipherNumber; applications go through the Arbeitsagentur.
