This is a Ruby Gem that aids to simplify interaction with the API of the Arbeitsagentur of Germany.
Since early 2016 Arbeitsagentur switched to a HTTPS client certificate (hrbaxml.arbeitsagentur.de) instead their beloved FTP upload tool. The OpenSSL library helps to convert that cert to a format Mechanize/curl can understand.
Needs Ruby > 2.1 with OpenSSL.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ba_upload'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ba_upload
require 'ba_upload'
# your supplied certificate and passphrase
connection = BaUpload.open_connection(file_path: 'config/Zertifikat-1XXXX.p12', passphrase: 'YOURPASSPHRASE')
# Upload a xml-file
file_path = "/opt/vam-transfer/data/DSP000132700_2016-08-08_05-00-09.xml"
connection.upload(file: file_path))
# later cronjob to download all error files
connection.error_files.each do |error_file|
target_path = "/opt/vam-transfer/data/#{error_file.filename}"
next if File.exists?(target_path)
tf = error_file.tempfile
FileUtils.cp(tf.path, target_path)
end
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'ba_upload'
connection = BaUpload.open_connection(file_path: 'config/Zertifikat-1XXXX.p12', passphrase: 'YOURPASSPHRASE')
connection.upload(file: File.open(ARGV[0]))
Save to a file and just run it with the xml file as argument
BA provides a often updated Position description databae ("VAM" Berufe). The Gem can help to download it:
connection.misc.each do |link|
target = "vendor/ba/#{link.href}"
next if File.exist?(target)
response = link.click
File.open(target, "wb+") { |f| f.write(response.body) }
end
Since September 2022, users with multiple client certificats issued to the same email address need to provide their respective partner ID when using the API. For user with only one certificat issued to their email address, providing the partner ID is optional.
The partner ID can be provided as an optional keyword argument to the upload
, error_files
and misc
methods:
require 'ba_upload'
connection = BaUpload.open_connection(file_path: 'config/Zertifikat-1XXXX.p12', passphrase: 'YOURPASSPHRASE')
connection.upload(file: 'your_file_path', partner_id: 'P000XXXXXX')
connection.error_files(partner_id: 'P000XXXXXX')
connection.misc(partner_id: 'P000XXXXXX')
Sooner or later, you have to provide a TitleCode = Vocation "Beruf" for each job. To fetch and process the Berufe, we create a ActiveRecord Model in our database:
Here an example of a implementation at Empfehlungsbund. You can also use our search mask to search for occupations.
We put the "help" / "validation" messages, that we found in the appropriate scopes, too, as "Ausbildungen" and "Duale Studiengänge" need different types of professions.

- Download the most recent JobPosting xsd from https://baxml.arbeitsagentur.de/geschuetzt/download/
- You can visualize the xsd here: http://www.xml-tools.net/schemaviewer.html
- Now, you can construct the file with xml-builder:
Example for constructing a feed using XmlBuilder
xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(indent: 1)
xml.instruct!
xml.tag!("HRBAXMLJobPositionPosting") do
xml.tag!("Header") do
xml.tag!("SupplierId", SUPPLIER_ID)
xml.tag!("Timestamp", Time.zone.now.to_s(:db).tr(" ", "T"))
xml.tag!("Amount", obs.count)
# F: Full
# D: Diff
if @only_jobs
xml.tag!("TypeOfLoad", "D")
else
xml.tag!("TypeOfLoad", "F")
end
end
xml.tag!("Data") do
jobs.each do |job|
generate_xml_for_job(xml, job)
end
jobs_to_delete.each do |job|
xml.tag! "DeleteEntry" do
xml.tag! "EntryId", id
end
end
end
end
xml
- Then, you should validate your feed:
xsd = Nokogiri::XML::Schema(File.open("vendor/ba/HRBAXML_JobPosition_Current.xsd"))
doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml.to_s)
xsd.validate(doc)
- Then, you can put that into a file - so you will need to generate a filename according to the spec:
Generate a filename
```ruby # for historic reasons, you could transmit a bunch of files with the same timestamp using an index/offset, but usually, just putting 0 here should be enought index = 0 number_of_feeds_to_push_now = 1 ended = index == (number_of_feeds_to_push_now - 1) flag = ended ? "E" : "C" date = Time.zone.now.strftime "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S_F#{'%03d' % (index + 1)}#{flag}" "DS#{SUPPLIER_ID}_#{date}.xml" ```- Upload the file using this Gem. You should wait a "couple of minutes" (tip: enqueue a activeJob for 10 minutes later), to fetch the resulting error file, and analyse that.
