Jobware Scraper

Extract job listings from Jobware.de, one of Germany's longest-running professional job boards ("da hab' ich den Job her"). Jobware focuses on qualified professionals and specialists — engineering, IT, healthcare, finance, and public sector roles across all of Germany.

This Actor pulls job titles, companies, locations, salary ranges, employment types, posting dates, and (optionally) full job descriptions directly from Jobware's JSON API. No login, no cookies, no browser automation. It reads structured data straight from the source instead of parsing HTML, so runs are fast and stable.

A distinctive extra: salary data with an origin flag. Jobware shows a salary range for most postings and the API tells you whether that range was stated in the ad itself (extraction) or is Jobware's own estimate (estimation). The Actor passes this flag through, so you always know how much to trust the number.

What does Jobware Scraper do?

Give it a German keyword (for example Ingenieur, Softwareentwickler, or Krankenpfleger) and, optionally, a city. The Actor queries Jobware's search API, paginates through the results, and returns clean, structured records you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — or pull through the Apify API into your own systems.

Turn on Fetch Full Details and it visits each job's detail endpoint too, adding the full plain-text description and the posting's expiry date.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, monitoring, proxy rotation, and integrations (webhooks, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets) out of the box.

Why use Jobware Scraper?

• Salary transparency. Most listings carry a salary range, each flagged as ad-stated or estimated.
• Professional-grade postings. Jobware skews toward qualified roles from direct employers, not aggregated noise.
• Labour-market research. Track hiring demand and salary levels by role, region, or employer over time.
• Recruitment and sourcing. Build lead lists of companies actively hiring for a role.
• Job aggregators. Feed a niche job site or newsletter with fresh, structured listings including expiry dates.
• No anti-bot headaches. The API is open, so runs are quick and reliable.

How to scrape Jobware data

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter a Search Query in German (e.g., Ingenieur, Elektroniker, Pflegekraft).
3. Optionally set a Location (e.g., Berlin, München) to narrow the search.
4. Optionally enable Fetch Full Details to get the full job description and expiry date for every listing.
5. Set Max Results to control how many listings you want.
6. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

That's it. You can also schedule the Actor to run daily and feed new listings into your own pipeline.

How much does it cost to scrape Jobware?

The Actor reads a lightweight JSON API, so runs are cheap and fast. A typical run of a few hundred listings finishes in under a minute without details, or a few minutes with Fetch Full Details on. Pricing follows this Actor's pay-per-result configuration on the Apify Store — check the pricing box on the Actor page for the current rate. Larger runs scale linearly with the number of results.

Tips and advanced options

• German keywords. The board is German. Use German job titles (Ingenieur, not engineer) for the best coverage.
• Salary filtering. Filter on salaryOrigin: "extraction" downstream if you only want salaries that employers actually stated.
• The 5,000-result window. Jobware serves at most 5,000 results per query. For broader coverage, run the Actor several times with different keywords or locations.
• Details cost time. fetchDetails adds one request per job. For a few hundred jobs that is fine; for thousands, expect a longer run. The Actor saves its progress, so long runs survive platform restarts without duplicating rows.
• Deduplication. Results are de-duplicated by job ID within a run.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping Jobware legal? This Actor reads the same JSON API that Jobware's own website uses to display public job listings. Use the data responsibly and in line with applicable terms and data-protection law. You are responsible for how you use the extracted data.

Do I need an account or API key? No. The Actor handles API access for you. No login or cookies are required.

Why is a salary marked as "estimation"? Jobware estimates a salary range for postings that don't state one. The salaryOrigin field lets you tell estimates apart from ranges taken from the ad text (extraction).

Why did my run fail with an API-hash message? Jobware occasionally rotates its internal API endpoint names when it redeploys its site. The Actor detects this and fails with a clear message instead of returning zero items — report it via the Issues tab and it will be fixed quickly.

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with your input and the run link. Custom fields or a tailored version can also be arranged.
