Why use this scraper?

• Salary data — where published by the employer (salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryType)
• Three description formats — HTML, plain text and Markdown for any downstream workflow
• Repost detection — flags jobs seen in previous runs so you only process new listings
• daysOld filter — restrict results to recently posted jobs
• startUrls support — feed specific search pages or individual job URLs
• German umlaut handling — ä, ö, ü and ß in keywords and locations are resolved automatically
