Input Format

The scraper accepts a minimal JSON configuration:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.behance.net/joblist?tracking_source=nav20&page=2&freelanceJobId=488235"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 20
}

Field	Description
urls	Links to Behance job list pages (supports pagination, filters, and search results)
max_items_per_url	Maximum jobs collected per URL (e.g., 20). Default: 20
ignore_url_failures	If true, skips failed URLs and continues the run; if false, stops on first failure

Tip: Use Behance's built-in filters (job type, location, budget range) in the URL to pre-filter results. Paste the full filtered URL into the urls array for targeted scraping.
