Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for DACH

A dedicated Xing scraper, tuned for German-language job data and Xing's own taxonomy. Search by keyword and location across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

💶 Structured salary

Minimum, maximum, median and currency, parsed from the listing where Xing publishes them. Salary is present on the majority of records.

🏢 Company data

Company name, industry, employee-count band, company ID and logo, taken from Xing's company profiles where available.

📄 Full descriptions

Enable fetchDetails to add the complete job description in HTML and plain text, taken from each listing's detail page.

🔁 Change tracking built in

Every record is tagged NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED or REAPPEARED across runs, with a stable content hash. Ideal for scheduled monitoring of a search.

⚡ Fast and cheap

Runs against Xing's own data API, not a browser. Low compute cost, high reliability, no login required.

Known limitations

• Salary is published on the majority of listings but not all; salary fields are null where Xing does not publish them.
• Company industry, size and logo depend on the employer having a Xing company page and are null otherwise.
• Xing's guest-browsing limit is roughly 200 jobs per individual search. To collect more, split the work across multiple keyword or location searches.
• Full job descriptions are included only when fetchDetails is enabled, which fetches each listing's detail page and adds roughly half a second per job.
