# Jobs.ch Swiss Job Listings by Region & Industry

Use this skill to fetch Jobs.ch Swiss Job data with the Apify Actor `vexaloom-labs/jobs-ch-swiss-job-listings-by-region-and-industry` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | one of `search`, `browse`, `byCompany`, `byUrls`, `byRegion`, `byIndustry`, `byEmploymentType`, `byCategory`, required | What to fetch. `search` runs classic keyword search (or semantic with `searchMode=semantic`). `browse` uses filters only. `byCompany` resolves company names/IDs. `byUrls` accepts jobs.ch search or job-detail URLs. |
| `searchMode` | one of `classic`, `semantic` | `classic` uses jobs.ch's exact keyword API with all filters and sort. `semantic` uses the site's fuzzy, cross-language search page (filters still apply; sort is relevance-only). |
| `searchQueries` | array | One or more free-text keywords (mode=search). Multiple queries are run in order and deduplicated by job ID. Leave empty to browse all jobs matching the filters. |
| `companyNames` | array | Company names to resolve against jobs.ch's company directory (mode=byCompany). Exact names are preferred; unmatched names fall back to a keyword search filtered by company name. |
| `companyIds` | array | jobs.ch company IDs (mode=byCompany). IDs are the most reliable company filter and take priority over names. |
| `startUrls` | array | jobs.ch search URLs or job-detail URLs (mode=byUrls). Search URLs carry their own filters; invalid or non-jobs.ch URLs are skipped. |
| `regions` | array | Filter by one or more Swiss canton/language-regions (multi-value OR). Allowed IDs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Required for mode=byRegion; optional elsewhere. |
| `industries` | array | Filter by one or more employer industries (multi-value OR). Allowed IDs: 1-24. Required for mode=byIndustry; optional elsewhere. |
| `categories` | array | Filter by one or more occupational fields / job functions (multi-value OR). Allowed IDs: 97-261 (165 jobs.ch categories; labels in README). Required for mode=byCategory. |
| `employmentTypes` | array | Filter by one or more contract types (multi-value OR). Allowed IDs: 1 Temporary, 2 Freelance, 3 Internship, 4 Supplementary income, 5 Permanent position, 6 Apprenticeship. Required for mode=byEmploymentType. |
| `positions` | array | Filter by one or more seniority levels (multi-value OR). Allowed IDs: 1 Executive position, 2 Specialist, 3 Employee. |
| `languageSkills` | array | Filter by one or more required working languages (multi-value OR). Allowed values: de, en, fr, it. |
| `companySegments` | array | Filter by employer segment (multi-value OR). Allowed values: gu (large company), kmu (SME), pdl (personnel-service provider). |
| `location` | string | Optional free-text city/place refinement (e.g. Zürich, Geneva, Basel). |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchMode": "classic",
  "searchQueries": [
    "software engineer"
  ],
  "employmentGradeMin": 0,
  "employmentGradeMax": 100,
  "sortBy": "relevance",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "descriptionFormat": "text",
  "maxDescriptionLength": 0,
  "maxItems": 3,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "locale": "en",
  "incrementalMode": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~jobs-ch-swiss-job-listings-by-region-and-industry/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~jobs-ch-swiss-job-listings-by-region-and-industry/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `title`, `companyName`, `location`, `workloadText`, `contractType`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `postedDate`, `jobUrl`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
