## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

### Why use this actor?

### How to scrape StepStone Austria data

1. Go to this actor's page on the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store).
2. Click **Try for free** to open it in Apify Console.
3. Enter a search keyword (e.g. `Buchhalter`, `Softwareentwickler`, `Vertrieb`) and optionally a city, or paste one or more StepStone.at start URLs directly.
4. Set the maximum number of results and leave the proxy settings on the default residential configuration.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow via the Apify API.

You can also schedule regular runs, set up webhooks for real-time notifications, or integrate the results directly into your application using the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api).

### Tips

- **Use residential proxies** — StepStone runs Akamai bot protection and blocks datacenter IPs. The actor defaults to Austrian residential proxies.
- **Start with category or search-result pages** like `https://www.stepstone.at/jobs/buchhalter/in-wien` for city-specific scraping.
- **Use native German-language keywords** (e.g. `Buchhalter`, `Softwareentwickler`, `Vertriebsmitarbeiter`) for the most complete results — English terms return far fewer matches on the Austrian site.
- **Keep maxResults reasonable** (100–500) to balance speed and cost on large runs.

### Features

- **No login required** — scrapes publicly available data from StepStone.at without needing credentials or cookies.
- **Structured output** — results are returned as clean JSON objects, ready for processing.
- **Pagination handling** — automatically follows multiple pages of search results.
- **JSON-LD extraction** — pulls structured JobPosting data straight from each listing page for accurate salary, contract type, and dates.
- **Proxy support** — configurable proxy settings for reliable, large-scale scraping.
- **Scheduled runs** — run on a schedule to keep your dataset up to date automatically.

### Cost estimate

This actor uses hidden-JSON extraction over plain HTTP (no browser), which keeps compute usage low: roughly **1–2 compute units per 100 results**. At standard Apify pricing, that's approximately **$0.05–$0.10 per 100 jobs**.

### Limitations

- StepStone.at runs Akamai bot protection; residential proxies are required and included by default.
- Salary data is only available when employers choose to disclose it (roughly 30–40% of listings).
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice if StepStone updates its page layout.
- Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.

### FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape StepStone.at?**
Web scraping of publicly available data is generally permitted. This actor only accesses information that is publicly visible to any website visitor. Always review the website's terms of service before scraping.

**How often should I run this scraper?**
For hiring-trend tracking or salary benchmarking, daily or weekly runs are common. Set up a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/schedules) in Apify Console to automate this.

**Can I export the data to Google Sheets or Excel?**
Yes. After each run, you can download results in CSV, JSON, or Excel format directly from Apify Console, or connect results to Google Sheets using Apify integrations.

**What if the scraper stops working?**
Websites change their structure occasionally. If you notice issues, please open an issue on the actor's page. We actively maintain this scraper and fix issues promptly.
