Why this scraper?

🔍 Keyword + location search

Search by job title, skill, or keyword. Filter by city, region, or Bundesland with configurable radius.

📋 Rich structured output

Every listing includes title, company, location, salary range, contract type, work schedule, and full job description (HTML, plain text, and Markdown).

🏷️ Skills, labels & remote flags

Returns Stepstone's own structured metadata per job: required skills list, job badges (Quick Apply, No Cover Letter), remote/hybrid flag, and cross-platform job UUID.

📅 Age filtering & deduplication

Filter by days since posting. Skip reposts with cross-run deduplication (90-day window) — ideal for daily incremental feeds.

🔗 startUrls support

Paste any Stepstone.de search results page or direct job URL to scrape specific results without re-entering filters.
