Cost math

Priced at $0.0030 per result. 10 results ≈ $0.03, 100 ≈ $0.30, 1,000 ≈ $3.00. The first runs land inside Apify's $5/mo free-tier credit — pay only for what you extract, no monthly subscription.

Who Should Use This

This actor is ideal for Swiss HR platforms, DACH-region staffing agencies, and job aggregators that need official government vacancy data. The canton and Pensum (workload percentage) fields are unique to the Swiss market and not available on any commercial board -- making this the authoritative source for regional Swiss hiring intelligence. Researchers studying the Swiss labour market can use it to track vacancy rates by canton and sector directly from the SECO (State Secretariat for Economic Affairs) data. Compared to scraping jobs.ch or jobscout24.ch, Arbeit.Swiss listings include roles that employers are legally incentivised to post via RAV (Regional Employment Centres).
