## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Jobbasel.ch Scraper

Extract job listings from [jobbasel.ch](https://www.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. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "verkauf",
    "location": "Basel",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item looks like this:

```json
{
    "jobTitle": "Verkaufsberater/-in Innendienst 80-100%",
    "company": "Muster AG",
    "location": "Basel",
    "employmentGradeMin": 80,
    "employmentGradeMax": 100,
    "preview": "Für unser Verkaufsteam in Basel suchen wir per sofort oder nach Vereinbarung eine motivierte Persönlichkeit...",
    "publishedDate": "2026-08-03T10:10:37.493+02:00",
    "homeOffice": false,
    "canton": "Basel-Stadt",
    "jobId": "230900",
    "url": "https://www.jobbasel.ch/job/230900",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-03T10:00:00.000Z"
}
```

#### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `jobTitle` | string | Title of the job listing |
| `company` | string | Name of the hiring company |
| `location` | string | City of the workplace |
| `employmentGradeMin` | number | Minimum workload percentage (e.g. 80) |
| `employmentGradeMax` | number | Maximum workload percentage (e.g. 100) |
| `preview` | string | Job description text with HTML tags stripped |
| `publishedDate` | string | ISO 8601 first-publication date |
| `homeOffice` | boolean | Whether the listing allows remote/home-office work |
| `canton` | string | Primary Swiss canton of the workplace |
| `jobId` | string | Unique jobbasel.ch job identifier |
| `url` | string | Full job listing URL |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection |

### 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.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Keyword to search for (e.g. 'verkauf', 'pflege', 'informatik', 'logistik'). German keywords work best since jobbasel.ch is a German-Swiss board.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Filter by city or canton (e.g. 'Basel', 'Basel-Stadt', 'Basel-Landschaft'). Leave empty for all listings on jobbasel.ch. Filtering happens client-side against each listing's city and canton.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of job listings to return.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. jobbasel.ch's public API has no anti-bot protection and is not geo-locked; residential proxies are the most reliable default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "verkauf",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```
