SwissDevJobs Scraper

Extract every open tech/IT job listing from swissdevjobs.ch as clean structured JSON. swissdevjobs.ch calls itself "the transparent IT job board" because every listing must disclose a salary range and a tech stack — no vague "competitive salary" postings. This actor collects that data in one run: job title, company, salary range, requirements, responsibilities, tech stack, and the direct listing URL.

No login. No cookies. No browser automation. The actor reads the same RSS feed swissdevjobs.ch itself publishes, so it is fast, cheap, and stable.

What this actor does

swissdevjobs.ch's job pages are a client-side-rendered React app, and its search/category filters run entirely in the browser — there is no server-side search API to call directly. What the site does expose is a single RSS feed covering every currently open listing. This actor fetches that feed and turns each item into a structured record with:

• Job title and hiring company
• Salary range in CHF (minimum and maximum, as disclosed in the listing)
• Requirements — the bullet-point list of what the employer asks for
• Responsibilities — the bullet-point list of what the role involves
• Technologies — the clean tech-stack tags (e.g. React, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Direct link to the full job listing
• Publication date

Because the feed is a single list of all current openings (there is no working tech= or category= filter server-side — both are silently ignored), the actor doesn't need a search query. Leave the input empty and you get every open listing, up to your Max Results cap.

Why use it

• Salary benchmarking — swissdevjobs.ch is one of the few boards where salary is mandatory, not optional. That makes it a genuinely useful source for Swiss tech salary ranges by role and tech stack, not the usual mix of disclosed/undisclosed postings.
• Tech-stack market research — see which technologies are in demand across the Swiss market right now, tagged consistently per listing.
• Recruitment and sourcing — build a live feed of open Swiss developer roles with salary attached, useful for competitive benchmarking when writing your own job ads.
• Aggregators and job boards — feed transparent-salary Swiss tech listings into your own product.

How to scrape SwissDevJobs data

1. Open the actor and optionally set Max Results (how many listings to return; leave it at the default to get the full current feed).
2. Click Start. No search query, location, or proxy setup is needed — the feed already covers every open listing.
3. The actor fetches the swissdevjobs.ch RSS feed in a single request, parses every job entry, and writes one row per listing to the dataset.
4. Export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Because this is a single feed request rather than a paginated crawl, a full run typically finishes in a few seconds.

Input

Field	Type	Description
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of job listings to return. The feed currently carries roughly 230 open listings; set a lower number to sample, or leave the default to get everything. Default: 250.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Default: residential. The RSS feed sits behind Cloudflare and returns a challenge page to shared datacenter IPs, so residential proxy is required rather than just recommended.

Example input

{
    "maxResults": 250,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

An empty input ({}) also works (the actor applies the same residential proxy default) and returns the full current feed.

Cost estimate

This actor makes a single HTTP request to the RSS feed and does no browsing, so it is one of the cheapest scrapers in the fleet to run. A full run covering the entire current feed (roughly 230 listings) costs a fraction of a cent in platform compute plus one residential proxy request. Usage cost only settles once the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run will undercount the final charge.

Limitations

• No location field. The RSS feed does not include a workplace location, so this actor does not return one. Location and a few other details are only available on swissdevjobs.ch's individually rendered job pages, which are served differently depending on the requesting client and are not covered by this actor.
• Salary is almost always present but not guaranteed. swissdevjobs.ch mandates salary disclosure on nearly every listing; the rare exception publishes an undisclosed range, which this actor returns as null rather than a guessed number.
• Single feed, no server-side filtering. swissdevjobs.ch's tech= and category= query parameters are silently ignored by the feed, so this actor always returns the full set of current openings — filter by technology or keyword client-side after export if you need a subset.
• Snapshot of currently open listings only. The feed reflects what's open right now; it is not a historical archive.
