## 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.md):

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

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

# README

## Stepstone Jobs Scraper

Search Stepstone job listings across Germany, Austria, Netherlands, and Belgium with Scrappa. This actor returns clean dataset rows for job titles, companies, locations, salaries, posting dates, skills, labels, job URLs, and pagination metadata.

### Pricing

This actor is intended to run on usage-aligned paid pricing at $0.30 per 1,000 dataset results. The actor only pushes job rows to the dataset, so billing maps directly to successful result volume.

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "software engineer",
  "location": "Berlin",
  "country": "de",
  "sort": "date",
  "limit": 25,
  "page": 1
}
````

Supported countries are `de`, `at`, `nl`, and `be`. Use `page` with `data.pagination.next_page` from the raw `OUTPUT` key-value-store record to continue pagination.

### Output

Each dataset item is one Stepstone job listing. The actor preserves the raw Scrappa job fields and adds table-friendly aliases:

```json
{
  "id": "12345678",
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer (m/w/d)",
  "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/jobs----12345678-inline.html",
  "company": {
    "id": 9876,
    "name": "TechGmbH",
    "logo_url": "https://cdn.stepstone.de/logo/9876.png",
    "url": "https://www.stepstone.de/cmp/techgmbh"
  },
  "company_name": "TechGmbH",
  "company_url": "https://www.stepstone.de/cmp/techgmbh",
  "location": {
    "formatted": "Berlin",
    "city": "Berlin",
    "region": null,
    "country": null
  },
  "location_formatted": "Berlin",
  "location_city": "Berlin",
  "location_region": null,
  "location_country": null,
  "salary": null,
  "date_posted": "2026-03-19T08:00:00+01:00",
  "description": "We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer...",
  "skills": ["Python", "Docker", "Kubernetes"],
  "labels": ["Home office possible"],
  "work_from_home": true,
  "is_highlighted": false,
  "is_sponsored": false
}
```

The complete Scrappa response, including `pagination` and `metadata`, is saved to the key-value store under `OUTPUT`.
