Why use this scraper?

• Complete Swiss job market coverage — jobup.ch is the dominant platform for French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland, covering Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, Zurich, Lugano and beyond
• Salary data included — extract CHF salary ranges (min/max, annual/monthly) directly from listings where employers provide them
• Rich structured output — job title, company, location, workload percentage, contract type, full description in HTML, plain text and Markdown
• Repost detection — cross-run deduplication with 90-day memory identifies reposts so you only process genuinely new listings
• Multilingual — search in English or French
• Date filtering — filter by posting date (last 1, 3, 7 or 30 days)

Known limitations

• Date filter granularity — jobup.ch only supports discrete date filters (1, 3, 7 or 30 days). Values in between are rounded up to the next supported tier.
• Salary availability — many employers choose not to display salary information; these listings will return null for salary fields.
• Application URL — some jobs redirect to a third-party ATS. The applyUrl reflects the target URL from the JSON-LD structured data.
• validThrough — application deadlines are only present when employers explicitly set them.
