XING Jobs Search API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/xing-jobs/search?query=developer&location=Berlin&employment_type=full_time

Search public XING job ads by keyword and location (Germany, Austria and Switzerland, e.g. Berlin, Wien, Zürich) with filters for employment type, full remote, yearly salary range and posting age. Each job has an id, slug, url, title, company name, company id and company page slug (when the employer has a company page), city, employment type label, remote options, salary range or estimate (when published), refresh date and expiry date (ISO 8601, UTC). Pages hold 20 jobs; has_more is true while a full page came back. The id works in the Job Detail endpoint and the company_slug in the Company endpoint. A valid empty search is a successful response.
