karriere.at Jobs Scraper (Austria: karriere.at, jobs.at)

Search Austria's two largest job boards, karriere.at and jobs.at, with one keyword and one location, and get every matching posting back as a clean, deduplicated JSON record.

Why this actor

• Public data only: the JSON search endpoints and public job pages of karriere.at and jobs.at, the two largest Austrian job boards.
• No login, no cookies, no browser and no proxy. Plain HTTP with polite delays.
• Structured, deduplicated fields with one schema for both boards: title, company, location, Bundesland, employment type, salary text, date, description and URL.

What it does

You give it a search term such as "Softwareentwickler" or "Pflege" and an optional town or region such as "Wien" or "Graz". The actor runs that search on karriere.at and on jobs.at, walks through all result pages, removes postings that appear on both boards (jobs.at republishes many karriere.at ads) and pushes one flat record per job to the dataset.

For each job you get the title, company, location, Austrian Bundesland (state), employment type, salary text, publish date and a short teaser. With the optional fetchDetails switch the actor also opens each job's own page and adds the full plain-text description, the exact publish timestamp and the state as declared by the employer.

The actor reads the same JSON responses the two sites use for their own "load more" buttons and the schema.org JobPosting data on detail pages, so the fields are taken straight from structured data rather than guessed from layout.

Why use it

Comparing openings across Austrian job boards normally means repeating the same search on every site and copying results by hand. This actor runs the search once and returns one table that you can filter, export to Excel or CSV, feed into a spreadsheet, a CRM, a salary study or a job alert of your own. Typical uses:

• Recruiters and staffing agencies tracking which companies are hiring for a role in a region.
• Job seekers who want a daily list of new postings without visiting each site.
• Analysts studying salary ranges, employment types or demand for a skill across the Bundesländer.
• Companies watching competitor hiring.

Input

Field	Type	Description
query	string, required	Job title or keyword, for example "Softwareentwickler", "Pflege", "Buchhaltung".
location	string	Town, district or region, for example "Wien", "Graz", "Tirol". Leave empty to search all of Austria.
sources	array	Which boards to scrape: karriere_at, jobs_at. Both by default.
fetchDetails	boolean	Also open every job page for the full description, exact publish timestamp and exact state. Slower, roughly one extra request per job with a polite delay. Off by default.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of records in total, default 100, up to 5000. The limit is split evenly across the selected boards; if one board has fewer results the other fills the rest.

Example input:

{
  "query": "Pflege",
  "location": "Graz",
  "sources": ["karriere_at", "jobs_at"],
  "fetchDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Fields:

Field	Meaning
source	karriere_at or jobs_at.
job_id	The id the board uses for the posting.
url	The posting on the board itself.
apply_url	External employer or application page, when the board links to one (jobs.at only).
title, company, location	As shown on the board. Several locations are comma separated.
state	Austrian Bundesland. Taken from the job page when fetchDetails is on, otherwise looked up from the town name or postal code; null when the town is not known.
employment_type	Board wording such as "Vollzeit", "Teilzeit", "Vollzeit, Teilzeit".
workload	Weekly hours when jobs.at provides them.
salary	Salary as text, exactly as the board shows it, or built from jobs.at's structured salary.
published_at	ISO 8601 date. For karriere.at listings this is a day-precision date derived from the board's own "Heute", "vor 3 Tagen" or "14.9.2026" label; with fetchDetails it is the exact timestamp from the job page.
home_office	Whether the board flags the job as home office.
snippet	Short teaser text from the listing.
description	Full plain-text description, only with fetchDetails.
scraped_at	When the record was collected.

Any field the board does not provide is null. Values are never invented.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per result. You pay USD 0.003 per job record, which is USD 3.00 per 1,000 results. There is no charge per run or per request, and a run that returns no results produces no result charges.

Results	Price
100	USD 0.30
1,000	USD 3.00
10,000	USD 30.00

A daily alert with 50 new jobs costs USD 0.15 per run, about USD 4.50 per month. Set maxItems to cap the cost of a run.

Limitations

• AMS eJob-Room (jobs.ams.at), the public employment service board, is not included. Its search API sits behind an OAuth2 login and rejects every anonymous request with HTTP 401, so there is no honest way to scrape it without a user account. It is therefore not offered as a source.
• Postings listed on jobs.at that link to karriere.at are counted once, under karriere_at. jobs.at usually contributes fewer unique records than its own result count suggests.
• Without fetchDetails, state comes from a lookup of Austrian town names and postal codes and stays null for small or ambiguous places.
• The actor searches with the boards' own relevance ranking and a default 20 km radius around the location, the same as a visitor on the site.
• No proxy is used. Runs of several thousand records with fetchDetails on are slow by design (polite delay of up to one second per request).

Legal

The actor only reads pages and JSON responses that are publicly accessible without logging in. Job postings can contain personal data such as contact names. How you store and use the data, and whether your use complies with the source sites' terms and with GDPR, is your responsibility.

FAQ

Why is a job missing that I can see on jobs.at? Most likely it is a karriere.at ad republished on jobs.at. It is in your dataset once, with source set to karriere_at.

Can I search without a location? Yes, leave location empty to search all of Austria.

Why is published_at a plain date for karriere.at? The listing only shows a label such as "vor 3 Tagen". The actor converts it to a date and does not pretend to know the time. Enable fetchDetails for the exact timestamp.

Does it need a proxy? No. Both boards served every request during testing without one.

Can you add AMS? Only if AMS opens its API or the actor is given an account, see Limitations.
