Tips for Best Results

Choose the Right Input Method

• Use Start URL when you have a specific jobs.ch search already configured with filters
• Use Keyword + Location for simple, direct searches from scratch
• If both are provided, explicit Keyword and Location fields always take priority

Scale Efficiently

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for testing, then scale up for production runs
• Set max_pages high enough to reach your desired count (each page = 20 results)
• Use proxy configuration for large-scale or frequent runs

Proxy Configuration

For reliable large-scale collection, enable Apify Proxy:

{
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true,
"apifyProxyGroups":["DATACENTER"]
}
}

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with any jobs.ch URL?

Yes. Paste any jobs.ch vacancy search URL and the actor automatically extracts the keyword and location from the URL parameters.

How many results can I collect?

The actor can collect thousands of results — jobs.ch lists over 48,000 active positions. Set results_wanted and max_pages accordingly.

What is workload percentage?

Swiss job listings commonly specify employment percentage (e.g. 80%–100%) instead of full-time/part-time labels. This field captures that value directly.

Do I need a proxy?

Not for standard usage. For high-frequency or large-scale runs, enabling a proxy is recommended to ensure reliability.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run the actor daily or weekly for automated job market monitoring.
