The run summary (key-value store record OUTPUT) lists how many jobs the site shows for each search, inputs that failed and job URLs that were offline.

💰 Pricing

You pay $2.00 per 1,000 jobs ($0.002 per saved job), the same price with or without full job details. Offline ads, filtered-out jobs and failed pages are never charged.

Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) comes on top and is small: 1,000 jobs with full details used about $0.05 of platform usage in our tests, and 10,000 jobs without details about $0.03 (both measured at 256 MB with the datacenter proxy; the default 512 MB adds less than half a cent to either run).

Example: 1,000 jobs with full details ≈ $2.00 + $0.05 = about $2.05.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape jobscout24.ch? The scraper only reads public job ads that anyone can open without an account. You are responsible for how you use the data, including data-protection rules for the contact details.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. The default datacenter proxy works; if a page is blocked, the scraper retries it on Swiss residential proxies automatically.

How many jobs can I get? As many as the search matches: set Max jobs in total to 0 to take every result. jobscout24.ch shows at most 100 result pages (about 2,000 jobs) per search, so larger searches are split automatically by region and filters; the run summary tells you how many jobs the site lists and how many were collected.

Why is a field empty? Not every ad has every field. Contact person, phone, salary, benefits and company rating are filled only when the ad or company profile shows them.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule daily runs with "Posted within 1 day", or start runs and read the results through the API.

⚠️ Limits

• Contact emails and the contact person's position come from the ad text, so they are filled only when the ad mentions them.
• The site's apply button for external applications needs a jobscout24.ch account; apply_url is that jobscout24.ch link, not the employer's own form.
• A city search includes jobs from the surrounding area, the same as on the site.
• Without job details, posted_at is the date derived from the site's age label (e.g. "2 w"), so it is approximate.
• jobscout24.ch shows at most 100 result pages per search. Searches with more matches are split by region, company type, category, contract type and level to collect the rest; on very broad searches (tens of thousands of jobs) a few jobs can still be out of reach, and the run summary says how many. Split searches are not in strict sort order.
