The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://jobs.meinestadt.de/frankfurt-am-main/premium?id=100012734528",
    "https://jobs.meinestadt.de/rodgau/premium?id=100012816900"
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	Direct links to individual Meinestadt.de job listing pages. Supports both standard and premium job URLs.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum records to collect per URL (e.g., 200). Useful for limiting dataset size.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues if some URLs fail; if false, the run halts on errors.

2. Prepare URLs — Copy the full URL from your browser (e.g., https://jobs.meinestadt.de/frankfurt-am-main/premium?id=...).
3. Configure the scraper — Paste URLs into the urls array. Adjust max_items_per_url as needed.
