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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Arbeitsagentur.de Scraper Extract structured job listings from **Arbeitsagentur.de** — Germany's largest public job board with over 800,000 active vacancies across all sectors and regions.

100,000 results | $150.00 | | Flat-rate alternative | Subscribe to Apify for unlimited usage | ### Performance | Scenario | Results/min | Notes | |---|---|---| | List-only (`fetchDetails: false`) | ~2,000 | Metadata only, no descriptions | | With details (`fetchDetails: true`) | ~200–300 | Full descriptions and salary data | | Full Germany scrape | ~800,000 results | Use `maxResults` to cap volume | ### 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) ### Additional services Need a custom integration, scheduled runs, or data delivery to your warehouse?
