Xing Jobs Scraper: Extract Job Listings from Xing by Keyword and Location
Xing Jobs Scraper pulls job listings from Xing's search API and saves them to a structured dataset. Set a keyword, add a location if you want, configure a result limit, and the actor pages through results on its own. It works without a Xing account and targets the logged-out search endpoint, so no credentials are needed.
Output covers job titles, companies, cities, salary ranges when Xing discloses them, employment types, and direct application URLs.
Use cases
- Track hiring demand for specific roles across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland over time
- Collect disclosed salary ranges for compensation benchmarking across job titles and regions
- Feed structured Xing job data into ATS tools or custom recruiting dashboards
- Monitor which companies are actively hiring in a given sector and location
- Build datasets of job postings for labor market research or academic studies

Example input
How it works
- Visits the Xing jobs page to initialize a session and collect a CSRF token from the response cookies
- Calls Xing's internal GraphQL API with the keyword and location you provided
- Pages through results in batches of 20 until it hits your limit or runs out of listings
- Transforms each raw job record into a flat output and pushes it to the dataset
FAQ
Does this actor need a Xing account or login? No. It uses the public logged-out search endpoint and requires no credentials.
How many results can I get per run? Up to 1000. Xing may return fewer depending on how specific your search is.
Why are some salary fields empty? Xing only shows salary data when the employer opts to disclose it. A lot of listings have no salary information at all.
What if requests start returning 403 errors? A 403 usually means the CSRF handshake failed or Xing updated their session flow. Try switching to Residential proxies, which are harder to detect than Datacenter ones.
Can I filter by remote work or employment type? Not as a direct input filter yet. The keyword search handles natural language well though, so searching "remote Python developer full-time" tends to narrow results meaningfully.
How do I schedule this actor to run regularly? Use the Apify scheduler to run the actor on a cron schedule. Pair it with a webhook or Google Sheets integration to get fresh data automatically.
