XING Jobs Scraper — German Job Postings

Scrape job postings from XING Jobs, the job board of the German-speaking professional network (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Search by keyword and location, and get structured job data including salaries, career levels, and full job descriptions. No login or cookies required.

Why use this actor?

• Salary data on most postings — XING publishes employer salary ranges and its own salary estimates. Both are extracted as structured numbers (min / max / median / currency).
• Full job descriptions included — every result carries the complete description as both plain text and HTML, without visiting each posting individually.
• DACH coverage — XING is one of the largest job platforms for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with a strong base of direct employer postings.
• No login, no cookies — the actor only reads the public, logged-out job search. You never risk an account and never handle credentials.
• Rich metadata — career level, discipline, industry, remote options, kununu employer rating, apply links, posting and expiry dates.

How to scrape XING Jobs data

1. Open the actor on the Apify platform.
2. Enter a Search Query — a German keyword works best (e.g. entwickler, vertrieb, projektmanager, pflege).
3. Optionally set a Location (e.g. Berlin, München, Hamburg, Wien, Zürich).
4. Set Max Results to the number of postings you need.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Storage tab.

The actor talks directly to XING's public job search API, so runs are fast and cheap: one request fetches 20 postings including their full descriptions.

Salary data

XING postings carry one of two salary shapes, and the actor normalizes both:

• Employer-published ranges (salaryIsEstimate: false) — the range the company attached to the posting.
• XING salary estimates (salaryIsEstimate: true) — XING's own market estimate, including a salaryMedian.

Cost estimate

The actor uses XING's public search API directly (no browser), so runs are light: roughly 1 request per 20 results plus minimal compute. A 100-result run typically finishes in well under a minute.

Limitations / known issues

• The public search returns up to 20 postings per request; the actor paginates automatically up to 3000 results per query. Narrow with location or more specific keywords for deeper coverage.
• XING does not expose a total match count on the public search, so the actor paginates until results run out or maxResults is reached.
• The public search is semantic: once exact matches run out, closely related roles may appear in the results.
• German keywords return the best results — the platform is DACH-focused.
