Data source

This actor uses the official Bundesagentur für Arbeit REST API (rest.arbeitsagentur.de). No login or credentials are required — the API is publicly accessible. The underlying database contains over 700,000 active listings at any given time, covering regular employment, apprenticeships, mini-jobs, and self-employment opportunities across Germany and internationally.

Performance

  • Retrieves up to 100 listings per API call with a 300ms delay between requests
  • No proxy required — runs on standard datacenter infrastructure
  • Typical run: 1,000 records in under 60 seconds

Notes

  • Listings without an external_url are managed directly through Arbeitsagentur.de
  • The angebotsart=1 filter (regular jobs) excludes apprenticeships and training positions — omit it to include all job types
  • Results reflect live data from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit database and may include listings from Austria and other German-speaking countries
