AMS Austria Scraper

Extract job listings from AMS (Arbeitsmarktservice) — the public job search of Austria's Public Employment Service, branded "alle jobs" (the same search www.allejobs.at redirects to).

This Actor pulls job titles, employers, locations, posting dates, employment type, and (when disclosed) salary straight from AMS's search results. No login, no eAMS account, no cookies required to search.

What does AMS Austria Scraper do?

Give it a German keyword (for example Verkäufer, Buchhalter, or Softwareentwickler) and, optionally, a location (city, region, or postal code). The Actor pages through AMS's job search results and returns clean, structured records you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — or pull through the Apify API into your own systems.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, monitoring, proxy rotation, and integrations (webhooks, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets) out of the box.

Why use AMS Austria Scraper?

• The national job board. AMS is Austria's state employment service — the widest single feed of Austrian vacancies, spanning every region and industry.
• Labour-market research. Track hiring demand by occupation, region, or employer over time.
• Recruitment and sourcing. Build lead lists of companies actively hiring for a role in Austria.
• Salary transparency tracking. Many AMS postings disclose a minimum salary — useful for compensation benchmarking.
• Job aggregators. Feed a niche job site or newsletter with fresh, structured Austrian listings.
• Regional targeting. Filter by city, Bundesland, or postal code to focus on one labour market (Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, ...).

How to scrape AMS data

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter a Search Query in German (e.g., Verkäufer, Elektriker, Bürokauffrau).
3. Optionally set a Location (city, region, or postal code, e.g. Wien, Graz, 1010).
4. Set Max Results to control how many listings you want.
5. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

That's it. You can also schedule the Actor to run daily and be notified of new listings.

How it works (technical note)

AMS's search results are served by a JSON API, but every request to it must carry a per-request signed token that only AMS's own Angular front end can compute — it isn't a simple public API key like some other national job boards. Rather than trying to forge that token, this Actor drives a real headless browser to the search results page for each page number and reads the JSON response the page itself receives. That's slower than a pure API call but far more reliable than reverse-engineering an anti-bot token scheme, and it's why a proxy option is exposed even though the site otherwise shows no IP-based blocking.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	German keyword to search for. Defaults to Verkäufer.
location	string	City, region, or postal code. Leave empty to search all of Austria.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return (default 100).
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings for the headless browser.

Each job is returned as one dataset record. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

How much does it cost to scrape AMS?

Because this Actor drives a real headless browser (one page navigation per 12 results — AMS's fixed page size), it costs more compute per result than a pure-API actor, but a typical run of a hundred listings still finishes in a couple of minutes. Pricing follows this Actor's pay-per-result configuration on the Apify Store — check the pricing box on the Actor page for the current rate. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — if you read the dataset from a still-running run, the cost shown will be incomplete until it finishes.

Tips and advanced options

• Narrow with location. Use location (city, Bundesland, or postal code) to focus on one Austrian labour market — Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, and so on.
• German keywords. AMS postings are almost entirely German. Use German job titles for the best coverage — a small number of English-language postings for international roles exist and are auto-detected via the language field.
• Salary is best-effort. Not every posting discloses a salary. When it does, salaryRaw captures the raw phrasing (AMS doesn't expose a clean numeric field).
• Deduplication. Results are de-duplicated by job UUID within a run.
• 10,000-result ceiling. Like most search engines, AMS caps any single query at 10,000 matching results. Narrow your query or location if you need exhaustive coverage of a very broad term.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping AMS legal? This Actor reads AMS's public job search, the same one anyone can browse anonymously at jobs.ams.at without an account. Use the data responsibly and in line with applicable terms and data-protection law. You are responsible for how you use the extracted data.

Do I need an eAMS account or API key? No. Job search is fully public. An eAMS account is only needed for AMS's authenticated features (saved jobs, alerts), which this Actor doesn't use.

Why does this take longer than a typical job-board scraper? AMS protects its search API with a token that only its own front-end JavaScript can compute, so this Actor uses a real browser to get valid results instead of guessing at that token. See "How it works" above.

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with your input and the run link. Custom fields or a tailored version can also be arranged.
