Job-Room.ch Scraper

Scrape job listings from job-room.ch, Switzerland's official public employment service job board, run by SECO (the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs) through the cantonal RAV/ORP/URC employment offices.

Why use this actor?

Job-Room.ch is the national job bank that every Swiss employer with an open position registered with a RAV/ORP office ends up in, and since 2018 professions in the "temporary labour shortage" list must be posted there for five working days before appearing anywhere else. That makes it a distinct source from JobCloud-family boards (jobs.ch, jobup.ch and similar), which cover the wider commercial job market but not the mandated public registrations. Recruitment platforms, HR tech products and labour-market researchers use this actor to pull structured listings — title, employer, canton, workload, contract type and application details — without visiting the site by hand. No login, no cookies, no anti-bot wall.

How to scrape Job-Room.ch data

Job-Room.ch is an Angular single-page app that calls its own public JSON REST API to render search results, and that API is what this actor talks to directly — no browser, no HTML parsing.

1. Set searchQuery to a keyword in German, French or Italian (e.g. "Verkäufer", "infirmier", "Informatiker"). Switzerland is multilingual and job-room.ch's search matches listings in all three national languages at once, so one query covers the whole country regardless of which language the posting was written in.
2. Optionally set canton to a two-letter Swiss canton code (ZH, GE, VD, BE, and so on) to restrict results to one canton.
3. Leave searchQuery empty to browse the full public job bank — tens of thousands of live listings across all cantons and occupations.
4. Set maxResults to cap how many listings the run collects (default 100).
5. Run the actor. It pages through job-room.ch's _search API (100 results per request, the verified page-size ceiling) until it hits maxResults or runs out of matching listings, then writes one row per job listing to the dataset.

Each result includes the job title, employer name, workplace city and canton, workload percentage range, contract type (permanent, temporary or short-term), the posting and expiry dates, and whatever application contact details the listing provides (email, phone, or an external application form URL).

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	String	No	Search keyword in German, French or Italian (e.g. "Verkäufer", "infirmier"). Matches across all three languages at once. Leave empty to browse the full job bank.
canton	String	No	Two-letter Swiss canton code to limit results to one canton (e.g. "ZH", "GE", "VD"). Leave empty to search all of Switzerland.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum number of job listings to scrape (default: 100).
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. job-room.ch's API works over Apify's default automatic proxy — no anti-bot protection was found on this endpoint.

Each result contains:

Cost estimate

This actor calls job-room.ch's own JSON API directly (100 results per request), so it's cheap to run: roughly $0.10–0.20 in Apify compute per 1,000 results on the default automatic proxy pool, plus the per-result Pay-Per-Event fee. Buyers should size larger runs off the per-result price shown on the Store listing, not off a single-run quote.

Limitations

• job-room.ch is multilingual (German, French, Italian) by design — the site does not offer an English-only filter, and neither does this actor. Search in the language the listing is likely to use.
• applyEmail, applyPhone and applyUrl are only populated when the employer provided them directly on job-room.ch; some listings route applicants through an externalUrl to a partner board instead.
• Data is scraped from the public API and may change without notice if job-room.ch changes its response format.
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
• A run's usage cost only settles once the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking cost on a still-running or partial run understates the final total.
