Tips for Best Results

1. Use Residential Proxies: Behance may block datacenter IPs. The default configuration uses Apify's residential proxies for best results.

2. Start Small: Begin with a smaller maxItems value (e.g., 50) to test your filters before running larger scrapes.

3. Be Specific: Use search keywords and location filters to get more relevant results and reduce scraping time.

4. Schedule Runs: Set up scheduled runs to get fresh job listings daily or weekly.

Cost Estimation

The actor uses Apify platform resources. Typical costs:

Run Size	Estimated Cost
Small (50 items)	~$0.10 - $0.20
Medium (200 items)	~$0.30 - $0.50
Large (1,000 items)	~$1.00 - $2.00

Actual costs depend on:

• Number of job detail pages visited
• Proxy usage (residential proxies cost more)
• Page load times and retries
