## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Stepstone.at Scraper

![Stepstone.at Scraper — Austria Jobs](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/ClElVyZWvQgPQIuDL/records/stepstone-at-scraper)

Scrape structured job listings from [Stepstone.at](https://www.stepstone.at) — Austria's leading job board. 50,000+ active listings. No API key required.

***

### Why this scraper?

#### 🇦🇹 Stepstone.at — Austria's job market

Extract structured job data from Stepstone Austria, the country's largest online employment platform covering all industries and regions.

#### 📄 Full job descriptions

Enable `fetchDetails` to retrieve complete job descriptions in HTML, plain text, and Markdown format from each listing's detail page.

#### 💰 Structured salary data

Salary ranges extracted and normalised into `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, and `salaryType` fields where published by the employer.

#### 🏠 Remote / work-from-home detection

`workFromHome` captures the label as shown on the listing ("Nur Home-Office", "Teilweise Home-Office"). `remote` normalises this to `FULL` or `PARTIAL`.

#### ⚡ Application badges

`badges` captures Stepstone application-feature labels per listing: "Schnelle Bewerbung" (quick apply) and "Anschreiben nicht erforderlich" (no cover letter required), with matching boolean convenience fields.

#### 🔄 Repost detection

Cross-run deduplication with a 90-day TTL. Use `skipReposts: true` to receive only genuinely new listings across multiple runs.

#### 🔗 Direct URL scraping

Supply specific Stepstone.at search or detail URLs via `startUrls` for precise targeting.

#### ⚙️ No API key required

Runs without any third-party credentials.

### Known limitations

- **Apply URL:** Always `null` — Stepstone uses a login modal for applications.

- **Repost detection:** Requires multiple runs. First run always returns `isRepost: false`.

### Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

- **Schedule runs** — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
- **Connect it to your stack** — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
- **Pull results via API** — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.

***

### Technical details

- **Coverage:** everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
- **Retry:** automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
- **Formats:** results export to JSON, CSV and Excel from the dataset
