Ausbildung.de Scraper

Pull apprenticeship and vocational-training listings from Ausbildung.de — Germany's largest apprenticeship board with 96,000+ active positions — at scale, with title, company, subsidiary, location, profession, training type, start date, and application options on every listing. Search by profession keyword and city, narrow by training type and radius, or paste ready-made Ausbildung.de search URLs. Built for recruiters, HR-tech platforms, training providers, and labor-market researchers who need structured German apprenticeship data without copy-pasting listings one page at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• 96,000+ active listings, fully paginated — walk any filtered search to its end (one proven query spanned 68 pages / 1,360 results at ~20 per page), not just the first page most tools stop at.
• Seven Ausbildung.de training types, mirrored 1:1 — filter to Ausbildung (classic dual vocational training), Duales Studium (dual study), Schulische Ausbildung (school-based), Schulische und duale Ausbildung, Betriebsinterne Ausbildung (in-company), Abiturientenprogramm, or Weiterbildung (continuing education) — exactly the labels the site itself offers.
• Radius search from 5 to 1,000 km — pin a city or postal code and pull every listing within 5, 10, 25, 50, 200, 500, or 1,000 kilometers, so you control local vs. nationwide reach precisely.
• Company and subsidiary, kept separate — every row carries both the parent company (Corporation) and the specific subsidiary branch name as distinct fields, plus the training company's logo URL, instead of one mashed-together string.
• Full HTML job descriptions plus structured address on demand — flip includeDetails on to pull each listing's complete description as both formatted HTML and clean plain text, the employment type, the posted date, and a broken-out street / postal code / city / region.
• Stable listing IDs on every row — each result carries Ausbildung.de's own listingId (vacancy public id), so you can dedupe across runs and track a position from first appearance to its validUntil deadline.
• Paste-a-URL power mode — hand the actor any ausbildung.de search URL you built in the browser and it replays that exact filtered search, radius, training-type filters, and pagination included.
• Application details attached — the applicationOptions and directApplication fields tell you how a candidate applies (including one-click direct application), plus a startDate, duration, qualification, and topRatedEmployer signal per listing.
• Overshoot-not-trim result cap — maxResults stops requesting new pages once your target is met but keeps the full final page, so you never lose the last few positions to an off-by-one cut.

    "trainingType": ["Ausbildung", "Duales Studium"],
    "maxResults": 300

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	"Fachinformatiker"	Profession, job title, or keyword to search for (matches the site's "Was suchst du?" box). Leave blank to collect all listings matching the location and filters below.
location	string	"Berlin"	City, town, or postal code to search around (e.g. "Berlin", "München", "10115"). Leave blank to search all of Germany.
radius	select	Within 25 km	How far around the location to search: Within 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 50 km, 200 km, 500 km, or 1000 km. Ignored when no location is set.

Filters

Leave the filter empty to include every training type.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
trainingType	string[]	[]	Keep only listings of these training types. Options: Ausbildung (dual vocational training), Duales Studium (dual study), Schulische Ausbildung (school-based training), Schulische und duale Ausbildung (school-based & dual), Betriebsinterne Ausbildung (in-company training), Abiturientenprogramm (high-school-graduate program), Weiterbildung (continuing education).

Or Paste URLs

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	Advanced: paste full Ausbildung.de search URLs built in the site's own search page. Any filters already applied on the site are respected. When provided, the keyword, location, and filters above are ignored for those URLs — but you can mix URLs with the keyword search.

Output & Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeDetails	boolean	false	Fetch each listing's full description (HTML + plain text), employment type, posted date, and structured street / postal code / city / region from its own page. Slower, since every listing needs an extra page visit.
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on total listings across all searches and URLs. Set to 0 for no cap. Stops requesting new pages once the cap is hit but keeps the full last page.

Output

Each apprenticeship is one flat row. Here is a representative result with includeDetails enabled:

Tips for Best Results

• Leave the location blank for nationwide — clear both location and radius and the actor collects apprenticeships across all of Germany for the keyword, instead of only within a city.
• Radius only applies with a location — the radius value is ignored unless you set a location, so pair them: "München" + "Within 50 km" pulls the whole metro, while "München" + "Within 5 km" stays tight to the city center.
• Leave details off for fast counts — keep includeDetails off when you only need titles, companies, locations, professions, and training types; turn it on when you need full descriptions, employment type, posted dates, and the structured address, and expect longer runs on large searches.
• Start small to validate, then scale — run with maxResults at 50–100 first to confirm the fields match your needs, then raise the cap for the full pull.
• Replicate a browser search with startUrls — apply filters visually on ausbildung.de, copy the resulting URL, and paste it in; the actor reproduces that exact filtered search, radius and training-type filters included.
• Stack training types to compare programs — select both Ausbildung and Duales Studium in one run to see classic vocational training and dual-study offers side by side for the same profession.
• Dedupe and track with listingId — schedule daily runs and key on listingId to spot brand-new positions and watch each one until its validUntil deadline.
