## FAQ

### Does this return a unique list of companies?

The task returns one row per matching job, including its company name. A company with several openings can appear in several rows. Group by company in your own analysis if needed.

### Can I search other roles or cities?

Yes. Edit the keyword and location pairs before running. The past-week filter applies to every search, and LinkedIn may return fewer jobs than the requested maximum.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/apizy/linkedin-jobs-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
