🐛 Troubleshooting

Q: Some jobs have salary.hidden: true
A: Employers often hide salary ranges on Hirist. This is expected behavior.

Q: No jobs returned
A: Check category name spelling. Use codes from the table above.

Q: Missing company ratings
A: Not all companies have AmbitionBox profiles. Fields will be null.

Q: Want to filter by skills/location?
A: API doesn't support direct filtering yet. Scrape broader category and filter results locally.
