How to use it: 3 steps

Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: python developer in Search queries. Each start is one run.
Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Search public StepStone job listings in Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands and get one clean row per job: title, company, location, posting date, salary as numbers, workplace type and job URL. No login and no API key are needed. A typical run with 20 jobs takes about 5 seconds and costs $0.022.

keep only jobs that earlier runs did not return (onlyNew), for daily monitoring;
open every job page and add the full description and employment type (includeDetails);
search up to 10 queries in one run; a job found by two queries is saved once.

Good for

Daily or weekly lists of new jobs for a role and a city.
Salary ranges for a role in one city, for market research.
A list of companies that hire for a skill right now, for sales or sourcing.

Not a good fit

No login, no applications, no recruiter names, e-mails or phone numbers. E-mails and phone numbers in descriptions are replaced with [removed].
Only stepstone.de, .at, .be and .nl. Other StepStone countries are not supported.
Most salaries are StepStone's own estimates, not employer figures (salaryIsEstimate: true). In our tests they come only with the first 150 results of a query (search pages 1–6). Later pages are read from StepStone's result list without estimates, so those jobs have empty salary fields.
Up to 1000 jobs per run. StepStone itself may stop a search earlier.

Price

Pay per event: you pay for each result the tool saves, plus a small start fee for each run. The price includes Apify platform costs. Apify bills you, not us. Prices below are for the Apify free plan.

What you pay for	Price	When
Start fee	$0.001	Charged once per run. This tool uses 1 GB of memory or less by default; more memory costs more.
Search query	$0.005	One search query read from StepStone (first result page), charged even when it returns no jobs.
Saved job	$0.0008 (from $0.00068 on paid Apify plans)	One unique StepStone job saved to the dataset.
Full job description	$0.005 (from $0.0045 on paid Apify plans)	Full description and employment type added to a saved job (only with Full job description on).

Examples

One job: about $0.0018.
1,000 jobs: about $0.80.
Every day 100 jobs, for 30 days: about $2.43 a month.

Free to try: the Apify free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. That is enough for about 6,200 jobs.

Questions

Do I need a StepStone account?

No. The tool reads public search and job pages only.

Are the salaries from the employer?

Mostly no. Most are StepStone estimates. Check the salaryIsEstimate field.

How many jobs can I get?

Up to 1,000 jobs and 10 queries per run.

Can I get recruiter emails?

No. Emails and phone numbers in job texts are replaced with [removed].

Are the salaries real?

Most are StepStone's estimates (salaryIsEstimate: true), not the employer's figures. When the salary is not marked as an estimate, salaryIsEstimate is false. Use estimates as a market range, not as an offer.

Is the output complete?

The Actor saves what StepStone shows for your search, up to maxItems. StepStone may show a different order or count on different days. RUN_SUMMARY.queries[].sourceTotal shows how many jobs StepStone reported.

How fresh are the jobs?

Each run reads StepStone live. postedAt is the date StepStone shows; StepStone sometimes refreshes this date for older jobs.

Can I get recruiter contacts?

No. E-mails and phone numbers in descriptions are replaced with [removed].

Details

Step by step on Apify

Open the Input tab.
In Search queries (queries), keep python developer or type your own job title.
Keep Location (location) as Berlin or type your city. Keep Maximum jobs (maxItems) at 20.
Click Start.
Open the Output tab and check the Jobs view: title, company, location, salaryMin, salaryMax, url.

Use cases

Task	Input	You get	Key fields	Next step
Get new jobs for a role every day	`queries`, `location`, `onlyNew: true`	job	`title`, `company`, `postedAt`, `url`	Apify schedule + Google Sheets or webhook
Compare salary ranges in a city	`queries`, `location`, `maxItems: 200`	job	`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryIsEstimate`	CSV / Excel export
Find companies that hire for a skill	`queries` with several skills, empty `location`	job	`company`, `companyUrl`, `location`	CRM import
Read full job texts for analysis	`includeDetails: true`	job	`descriptionText`, `employmentType`, `expiresAt`	Your own text or AI pipeline

Tips for better results

Use a city from the same country as the StepStone site you pick.
Turn on details to add the full job text and job type.
Salary data comes with the first 150 results of a query. Use specific queries.

Limits and good to know

If StepStone fails before the first page, the query event is not charged
If a job page fails with includeDetails, the row is saved with the snippet and job-details is not charged. After 6 failed job pages in a row the Actor stops opening job pages and ends with reason: "DETAILS_UNAVAILABLE"; rows already found are saved
Partial runs charge only for saved rows. When your run cost limit is reached, the Actor stops and saves reason: "CHARGE_LIMIT"

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/stepstone-jobs-scraper. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

Python · apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/stepstone-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": [
        "python developer"
    ],
    "location": "Berlin"
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~stepstone-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries": ["python developer"], "location": "Berlin"}'

LangChain · langchain-apify

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/stepstone-jobs-scraper")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"queries": ["python developer"], "location": "Berlin"}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
