Jobbasel.ch Scraper

Extract job listings from jobbasel.ch, the Basel-region Swiss regional job board, as clean structured JSON. Search by keyword, filter by city or canton, and get job titles, companies, workplaces, workload percentages, publication dates and direct links in one run.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor talks to the same public JSON API the jobbasel.ch website uses, so it is fast and stable.

What this actor does

Given a search keyword (and optionally a city or canton), this actor collects matching job listings from jobbasel.ch and returns one row per job with:

• Job title
• Hiring company
• Workplace city and canton
• Workload range (employment grade, e.g. 80–100%)
• Short preview of the job description
• Publication date
• Whether the role allows home office
• The job's unique ID and direct URL

jobbasel.ch is part of a shared regional job-board network (the same platform also powers ostjob.ch, jobzueri.ch, myjob.ch and zentraljob.ch), so listings span the wider German-speaking Swiss market with a natural bias toward the Basel region.

Why use it

• Job market research — track how many roles match a keyword in and around Basel.
• Recruitment and sourcing — build a live feed of open positions for a role or company.
• Workload benchmarking — analyse employment-grade ranges across employers.
• Aggregators and job boards — feed Basel-region listings into your own product.

How to scrape Jobbasel.ch data

1. Open the actor and set a Search Query (for example verkauf, pflege, informatik or logistik). German keywords work best.
2. Optionally set a Location such as Basel, Basel-Stadt or Basel-Landschaft to filter results by workplace city or canton.
3. Set Max Results to how many listings you want.
4. Leave the proxy on the default residential setting and click Start.

The actor pages through the jobbasel.ch search API (10 results per page) until it reaches your Max Results or runs out of listings, then writes everything to the dataset. You can export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Keyword to search for. German works best. Default: verkauf.
location	string	City or canton filter (e.g. Basel, Basel-Stadt). Empty = all listings. Filtering happens client-side against each listing's city and canton.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of listings to return. Default: 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Default: residential.

Cost estimate

This actor uses a lightweight JSON API and no browser, so runs are cheap and fast. One request returns 10 listings, so a few hundred jobs cost only a handful of requests plus proxy traffic. Exact cost depends on your Apify plan and proxy usage.

Limitations

• Salary is not published in the jobbasel.ch search API, so it is not included. The actor returns the workload percentage (employment grade) instead.
• The API returns at most 10 results per page; the actor pages through automatically.
• Location filtering is applied client-side (the underlying API does not support a server-side location/canton query param), so a narrow location filter on a broad keyword may need to page through more results before filling maxResults.
• Full job descriptions are not fetched separately; the preview field holds the description text jobbasel.ch returns in its search API.
