FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How does this scraper bypass bot protections?

JobKarov does not utilize active client-side challenge walls like Radware or PerimeterX. However, it enforces a strict geographic fence that blocks all non-Israeli connections. Our scraper handles this by automatically routing requests through Israel-based premium residential proxies.

Do I need a login or API Key?

No. All JobKarov vacancy listings are fully public and require no authentication or cookies to read.

Why is the company name confidential on some jobs?

To protect client databases from competitor poachers, some agencies and employers choose to list vacancies anonymously. In those instances, the companyName field is populated with the standard Hebrew confidentiality label "חברה חסויה".
