Scrape Arbeit.Swiss — Official Swiss Government Job Data, All 26 Cantons

Access structured vacancy data from Switzerland's official public employment service. Arbeit.Swiss is operated by SECO (State Secretariat for Economic Affairs) and lists positions that private job boards often miss. Our scraper handles the platform's HMAC-SHA512 API authentication automatically, delivering clean data without any browser overhead.

What You Can Scrape

• Government job listings — positions registered with Swiss regional employment centers (RAV)
• Full job details — description, requirements, languages needed, start date, contract duration
• Employer data — company name, canton, industry classification
• Canton-level filtering — target specific Swiss cantons (Zurich, Bern, Geneva, etc.)
• Multi-language listings — German, French, Italian, and Romansch positions
• Multi-query — batch multiple search terms in a single run

Primary Use Cases

• Public sector research — analyze government-registered vacancies that are not on commercial job boards
• Swiss labor policy analysis — track employment patterns across cantons and industries
• Job board aggregation — supplement commercial job data with official government listings
• Regional workforce planning — understand hiring demand by canton and language region
• Immigration research — monitor roles open to foreign workers under Swiss labor law
