## 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

## Jobzueri.ch Scraper

Extract job listings from [jobzueri.ch](https://www.jobzueri.ch), the Zurich region job board, as clean structured JSON. Search by keyword and get job titles, companies, workplaces, workload percentages, home-office flags, cantons, 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 jobzueri.ch website uses, so it is fast and stable.

### What this actor does

Given a search keyword (and optionally a location filter), this actor collects matching job listings from jobzueri.ch and returns one row per job with:

- Job title
- Hiring company
- Workplace / city
- Workload range (employment grade, e.g. 80–100%)
- Home office availability
- Canton
- Job description preview
- Publication date
- The job's unique ID and direct URL

jobzueri.ch covers the greater Zurich labour market and currently lists over 12,000 live vacancies, spanning trades, office roles, healthcare, IT, hospitality and apprenticeships.

### Why use it

- **Job market research** — track how many roles match a keyword across the Zurich region.
- **Recruitment and sourcing** — build a live feed of open positions for a role or company.
- **Workload and remote-work benchmarking** — analyse employment-grade percentages and home-office availability across employers.
- **Aggregators and job boards** — feed Zurich-region listings into your own product.

### How to scrape Jobzueri.ch data

1. Open the actor and set a **Search Query** (for example `informatik`, `treuhand`, `pflege` or `marketing`). jobzueri.ch is German-language, so German keywords work best.
2. Optionally set a **Location** such as `Zürich` or `Winterthur` to keep only listings whose workplace city or canton matches. Leave it empty to search the full Zurich-region catalogue.
3. Set **Max Results** to how many listings you want.
4. Leave the proxy on the default setting and click **Start**.

The actor pages through the jobzueri.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 keywords work best. Default: `informatik`. |
| `location` | string | City or canton filter (e.g. `Zürich`, `Winterthur`). Empty = no location filter. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of listings to return. Default: `100`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy settings. Default: residential. |

#### Example input

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

### Output

Each dataset item looks like this:

```json
{
    "jobTitle": "Informatikerin / Informatiker in Ausbildung (w/m/d)",
    "company": "Amt für Informatik",
    "location": "Solothurn",
    "employmentGradeMin": 100,
    "employmentGradeMax": 100,
    "preview": "Aufgaben Entwickeln, Realisieren, Integrieren und Unterhalten von Informatiklösungen...",
    "publishedDate": "2026-07-01T04:47:15.004+02:00",
    "homeOffice": false,
    "canton": "Solothurn",
    "jobId": "872670",
    "url": "https://www.jobzueri.ch/job/872670",
    "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 or place of work |
| `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 role allows remote / home office work |
| `canton` | string | Swiss canton of the workplace |
| `jobId` | string | Unique jobzueri.ch vacancy 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 jobzueri.ch search API, so it is not included. The actor returns the workload percentage (employment grade) instead, which is what jobzueri.ch exposes.
- The API returns at most 10 results per page; the actor pages through automatically.
- Full job descriptions are returned as rich HTML from the source; the actor strips tags but does not fetch anything beyond what the search API already provides.
- The **Location** filter is applied client-side (the underlying API does not support server-side location filtering on this instance), so a narrow location combined with a broad keyword can take longer to fill Max Results.

# Actor input Schema

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

Keyword to search for (e.g. 'informatik', 'treuhand', 'pflege', 'marketing'). jobzueri.ch is German-language, so German keywords work best.

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

Filter by city or canton (e.g. 'Zürich', 'Winterthur'). Leave empty to search the full Zurich region catalogue.

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