🇩🇪 Bundesagentur für Arbeit Job Scraper

🚀 The fastest, most complete Arbeitsagentur.de job scraper on Apify. Pull thousands of fresh German-language job postings — title, employer, salary notes, contract type, contact emails, full description, application URL and 30+ other fields — straight into a clean dataset.

💡 Why Choose This Scraper?

• ⚡ Blazing fast — async, concurrent fetching of search pages and job details simultaneously.
• 🎯 Bulk input — feed any number of Arbeitsagentur.de search URLs and get a single deduped dataset back.
• 🛰️ Smart proxy fallback — starts direct, auto-escalates to Apify datacenter, then residential proxies on rate limits, then sticks with the upgraded tier.
• 💾 Live saving — every job is pushed to the dataset the moment it's ready. A crash mid-run never costs you data.
• 🛡️ Production-grade error handling — retries with exponential backoff on every external call.
• 📧 Contact email extraction — automatically pulls application emails out of job descriptions.
• 🇪🇺 DACH coverage — postings from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland whenever Arbeitsagentur.de surfaces them.

💰 Pricing

This actor is on pay-per-event (PPE).

Synthetic events are configured in the Apify Console. You only pay for successful, saved results — no data, no charge.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where does the data come from? A: The official Arbeitsagentur.de public job search API (the same one powering the website's search and detail pages).

Q: Do I need a proxy? A: No. The actor defaults to a direct connection. If the upstream rate-limits us, the proxy strategy auto-escalates to Apify datacenter, then residential proxies — no input needed.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: It's a live API call on every run — what you get is what Arbeitsagentur.de is serving right now.

Q: How many results can I scrape? A: As many as Arbeitsagentur.de exposes — set maxItems to the upper bound you want.

Q: Are application emails always available? A: No — only when the employer included a contact email inside the public description text. We regex-extract whenever present.

Q: Why are some jobs from Austria? A: Arbeitsagentur.de partners with AMS (Austria) and shows DACH-region postings. We expose the allianzpartnerName field so you can filter.
