XING Jobs Scraper

XING Jobs Scraper: job postings across Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Type the keywords you would type into XING and you get one row per posting. Title, company, city, employment type, career level, whether it is remote, hybrid or on-site, when it went up, when it expires, and the link that actually applies.

One thing to get right before your first run. XING's location box resolves places, not countries, so typing "Deutschland" does not filter anything: XING hands back its whole Germany, Austria and Switzerland ranking. This actor then keeps only the postings XING itself labels German, which is what restrictToCountry does, and the ones it drops are not charged.

Salaries are the other half of the honest version. XING publishes a figure on some postings and estimates one on others, so read salaryIsEstimate before you put a number in front of anyone.

💼 What XING Jobs Scraper does

It runs the search you describe, walks the results page by page, and writes a row for each posting with everything XING attaches to it: the company and its page, company size, the full address down to the postcode, XING's own industry and discipline labels, the seniority band, and the keywords XING tagged the posting with.

Filters are XING's own, applied during the search rather than by throwing rows away afterwards: workplace type, contract type, career level, how recently it was posted, and a salary floor.

Several keywords in one run are walked as separate searches, which is how you get past the roughly 1,000 results XING serves for any single one.

applyUrl is worth knowing about. Plenty of XING postings hand the application off to the company's own careers site or a job board, and that is the address you get, with appliesOffXing telling you when it happened.

🧾 Reading the output

Job rows carry a jobId. Anything without one is a note, and notes are never charged.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open XING Jobs Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Put your terms into Job keywords, one per line. German terms find more than English ones on XING. 3. Set Location to a city, and a Radius if you want the surrounding area. 4. Set Maximum postings. Fifty is a sensible first run. 5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.51 per 1,000 postings, which is $0.00051 each. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

You pay per posting row. Nothing else in the dataset is billed: not the sample row, not a diagnostic, and not a posting the country filter dropped. Turning on the full description costs nothing extra, because it arrives with the same request.

A thousand postings is about fifty cents.

💡 What people use it for

• A daily pull of new DACH postings for a handful of roles, deduped on jobId.
• Recruiters watching which companies are hiring in a city, and at what seniority.
• Salary work: salaryMedian with salaryIsEstimate kept beside it, so estimates and published

figures never get mixed.

• Feeding a job board or a newsletter with fresh listings that carry a working apply link.
• Market research on remote and hybrid share by industry, which the three booleans make easy.

🚧 What it does not do

• Germany, Austria and Switzerland only. XING is a DACH site.
• About 1,000 postings per search. Use several keywords or cities to go past it.
• Descriptions are not on every posting. XING holds body text for some and not others, and

descriptionText is null on the rest.

• A country name in the location is not a filter at XING. It is handled here instead, and naming

a country anywhere in the location, including Basel, Schweiz, turns that filter on. Use the bare city if you want cross-border results.

• No candidate or recruiter contact details. Public postings only, nothing behind a sign-in.
• Salaries are often XING's estimate, not the employer's number.
• A row is a snapshot. Postings expire, and activeUntil tells you when.

🧭 Which jobs scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a XING account? No. Nothing to paste, nothing that expires.

German or English keywords? Both work, and German finds more. Softwareentwickler and Software Developer return different sets, so run the pair.

Why is the salary empty on most rows? XING only shows one where it has it. Where it does, check salaryIsEstimate before quoting the figure.

Can I paste a single job link? Yes, into XING URLs. Search pages work there too, so you can build the search in your browser and paste the address.

How do I get more than 1,000 results? Split the search. Several keywords, or the same keyword across several cities, each with its own searchQuery on the row.

Is scraping job postings legal? These are public pages. Postings often name a contact person, which is personal data under GDPR, so have a reason for holding it. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the keywords, the location and the run ID. If a diagnostic row landed, its errorCode usually names the reason already.
