Known limitations

• Salary data: Only ~25% of listings include disclosed salary ranges. This reflects employer disclosure rates, not a scraper limitation.
• External listings: Jobs posted via third-party boards (externestellenboersen) include a redirect URL rather than an internal description.
• Date filter precision: Arbeitsagentur's API supports fixed date buckets (1, 7, 14, 28 days) — values outside these boundaries are rounded up.
• Description format: Job descriptions are sourced as Markdown and converted to HTML and plain text. Formatting quality depends on the original employer submission.

Technical details

• Memory: 256 MB
• Timeout: 3 hours
• Output format: JSON (Apify Dataset)
• Dedup store: arbeitsagentur-de-job-dedup (90-day TTL)
