Xing Profile API turns Xing member profile URLs into clean, structured JSON. Paste one or more xing.com/profile links and get one record per person: full name, current job title, city and country, employment history, education, skills in German and English, languages, groups, interests, and profile image. It is built for DACH recruiting, candidate sourcing, and market research, where the data lives on Xing rather than LinkedIn.

You bring the profile URLs. There is no search or discovery mode, so this is a URL-to-record enrichment tool, not a people search engine. Each profile returns in about seven seconds, exports to CSV or Excel, and bills per profile with no subscription.

What each profile returns: name, given and family name, job title, city and country code, experience (nested employment history), education, skills (German and English), languages, groups, interests, similar profiles, membership, and image. The "wants" field is not currently populated; every other field above was read from live profiles.

Works with MCP

The API runs over MCP, so AI clients like Claude can call it as a tool. Point your agent at the Apify MCP server and ask "pull the current job title and city for these three Xing profiles," and it returns structured rows with no scraping code.
