These examples include the start event and per-vacancy event only. Platform usage, proxy usage, and your Apify plan terms may also apply.

The Apify Free plan includes monthly platform credits.

Start with maxItems between 25 and 100, check the run's charged events, then increase the limit after confirming your search terms.

The Apify run console shows charged events and usage after each run.
