## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does Xing Scraper do?

Xing Scraper turns [xing.com](https://xing.com) into structured **job**, **company**, and **employee** data across the DACH+Benelux region. Job records ship with salary fields, apply URLs, full descriptions, remote-work indicators, and company metadata — detail enrichment is **on by default**, so a basic run already returns the complete record with no extra configuration. Its standout capability is **incremental monitoring**: point it at a search, put it on a schedule, and each run returns only the jobs that are NEW, UPDATED, or REAPPEARED since last time — you track a job market continuously instead of re-downloading it every run. Because pricing is pay-per-result, a scheduled run that finds nothing new produces zero rows and costs zero result charges, so leaving a daily monitor running stays cheap.

### How to use this actor

- 👉 **Register for a free Apify account** — no credit card required.
- 🎉 Just click **[Sign up free on Apify →](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi)** and complete a quick signup.

- ⏳ Scrape during the free trial, with no commitment or upfront payment required.

### Key features

- **🎯 Three modes in one actor** — `jobs` for Xing job search, `companyProfiles` for company entity data, and `companyEmployees` for employee lists. Pick one mode per run.
- **👥 Company employee lists** — paginate employee rosters with name, occupation, profile URL, and photo. Use `maxEmployees` to control run size.
- **🏢 Company profile lookup** — paste a slug or `/pages/<slug>` URL to get company ID, name, size, logo, and employee count.
- **🌎 5-market job coverage** — DACH+Benelux job search on xing.com with country, location, remote, employment type, career level, discipline, and industry filters.
- **♻️ Incremental job monitoring** — recurring job runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records by default, with optional UNCHANGED and EXPIRED records.
- **🔔 Notifications** — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook support for job monitoring workflows.
- **🔗 Paste-mode for jobs** — paste Xing job detail or job search URLs directly from your browser and turn them into structured job records.
- **📋 Detail enrichment** — enrich job listings with full descriptions, apply fields, contact extraction, and optional company profile data.
- **💰 Structured salary** — salary fields are returned as `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, and salary period where available.
- **📦 Compact output** — AI-agent and MCP-friendly job payloads with core fields only for downstream tools and LLM context.

### What data can you extract from xing.com?

Each result includes Core job fields (`jobId`, `xingId`, `globalId`, `slug`, `jobCode`, `serviceOfferingGroup`, `title`, and `portalUrl`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, `descriptionHeaderImage`, and `descriptionFooterImage`), apply information (`applyUrl`), and company metadata (`company`, `companyId`, `companySize`, and `companyIndustry`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as company profiles where the source provides them.

### Input

The main inputs are an optional location filter and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

- **`mode`** — Which vertical to scrape on this run. One mode per run. (default: `"jobs"`)
- **`companyInputs`** — Used by `companyProfiles` and `companyEmployees` modes. Accepts:
- bare slug: `sap`
- full URL: `https://www.xing.com/pages/sap`
- subpath URL: `https://www.xing.com/pages/sap/employees`

Leave empty for `jobs` mode.

- **`maxEmployees`** — Hard cap on rows returned per company in `companyEmployees` mode. Default 100 keeps cost predictable on probe runs. Raise it for full enumeration. (default: `100`)
- **`employeeSort`** — How the employee list is ordered. (default: `"CONNECTION_DEGREE"`)
- **`employeeFilters`** — Optional filters applied to the employee list. Currently supported: `{ "hasPhoto": true }` to limit results to employees with a profile photo. (default: `{}`)
- **`queries`** — Job search keywords (used by `jobs` mode). Provide multiple for batch mode (cartesian product with locations).
- **`locations`** — Cities or regions to search in (e.g. 'Berlin', 'Wien', 'Zürich'). Leave empty for country-wide search.
- **`locationRadius`** — Radius around each location in kilometers. (default: `30`)
- **`startUrls`** — Direct Xing URLs: job detail (xing.com/jobs/...) or search URL (xing.com/jobs/search?...). Company URLs scraped when Include Company Profile is enabled.
- **`employmentType`** — Filter by employment type (one or more).
- **`careerLevel`** — Filter by career level (one or more).
- **`discipline`** — Filter by functional area (one or more).
- ...and 33 more parameters

### Input examples

**Quick start — two fields** — The minimum to run a job search: a keyword and a location. Everything else uses sensible defaults (detail enrichment on, 50 results).

→ Job records with title, company, salary, apply URL, and full description.

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "data scientist"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "Berlin"
  ]
}
```

**Paste-mode — job URLs** — Paste Xing job detail or search URLs straight from your browser. No keyword/location needed — the URL itself is the target.

→ Detail-enriched job records for the pasted URLs.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.xing.com/jobs/search?keywords=data%20scientist&location=Berlin"
    }
  ]
}
```

**Filtered search** — Narrow results by employment type and career level — only matching jobs are returned.

→ Only full-time, professional-level jobs matching the query.

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "software engineer"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "Hamburg"
  ],
  "employmentType": [
    "FULL_TIME"
  ],
  "careerLevel": [
    "PROFESSIONAL"
  ]
}
```

**Incremental monitoring** — Add `incrementalMode` and put the run on a schedule — each execution returns only jobs that changed since the previous run.

→ Only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED job records; unchanged jobs are skipped.

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "product manager"
  ],
  "locations": [
    "München"
  ],
  "incrementalMode": true
}
```

**Company employee list** — Switch `mode` to `companyEmployees` and pass a company slug to page its employee roster.

→ Employee records with name, occupation, and profile URL.

```json
{
  "mode": "companyEmployees",
  "companyInputs": [
    "sap"
  ],
  "maxEmployees": 100
}
```

  "source": "xing.com"
}
```

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape xing.com

1. Go to [Xing Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/xing-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.
2. Configure the input and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need company data.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Use cases

- Extract job data from xing.com for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed jobs on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Auto-apply or feed apply URLs into your ATS / hiring pipeline.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
- Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.

### How much does it cost to scrape xing.com?

Xing Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

- **Run start:** $0.0005 per run
- **Per result:** $0.0009 per job record

Example costs:

- 10 results: **$0.0095**
- 25 results: **$0.023**
- 100 results: **$0.09**
- 200 results: **$0.18**
- 500 results: **$0.45**

#### Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of jobs that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 200 jobs per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of jobs.

| Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 5% — stable niche query | $0.18 | $0.0095 | $0.17 (95%) | $0.28 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.18 | $0.03 | $0.15 (85%) | $0.82 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.18 | $0.05 | $0.13 (70%) | $1.64 |

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $5.42. First month with incremental costs $0.46 / $0.98 / $1.76 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I get from xing.com?

The number of results depends on the search query and available jobs on xing.com. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.

#### Does Xing Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed jobs on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.

#### Can I integrate Xing Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Xing Scraper works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations?fpr=1h3gvi) to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.

#### Can I use Xing Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.

#### Can I use Xing Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server?fpr=1h3gvi) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode, `descriptionMaxLength`, a single `descriptionFormat`, and `excludeEmptyFields` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

#### Is it legal to scrape xing.com?

This actor extracts publicly available data from xing.com. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.

## `notifyOnlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

When Incremental Mode is on, only send notifications for NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED jobs. Has no effect outside incremental mode.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy configuration for request routing.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Pick a single description representation. `all` keeps every variant; `text` / `html` / `markdown` drop the others.

## `excludeEmptyFields` (type: `boolean`):

Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards.

## `appConnector` (type: `string`):

Optional. Pick a connected app under Settings → API & Integrations to receive your results. Notion is supported today (a run-summary page); other MCP connectors are best-effort as Apify expands its catalog.

## `mcpIssueTeam` (type: `string`):

Only when the connected app is an issue tracker: the team (name or ID) the summary issue is created under, if that app requires one.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "mode": "jobs",
    "maxEmployees": 100,
    "queries": [
        "software engineer"
    ],
    "maxResults": 100,
    "descriptionFormat": "all",
    "excludeEmptyFields": false
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("blackfalcondata/xing-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "mode": "jobs",
    "maxEmployees": 100,
    "queries": ["software engineer"],
    "maxResults": 100,
    "descriptionFormat": "all",
    "excludeEmptyFields": False,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("blackfalcondata/xing-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "mode": "jobs",
  "maxEmployees": 100,
  "queries": [
    "software engineer"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "descriptionFormat": "all",
  "excludeEmptyFields": false
}' |
apify call blackfalcondata/xing-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,blackfalcondata/xing-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
