Important Notes

⚠️ Rate Limiting: LinkedIn enforces rate limiting. For large-scale scraping, use Apify's proxy service.

⚠️ Data Accuracy: Some fields like posterFullName, posterProfileUrl, sector, and benefits may show "Not specified" if LinkedIn blocks the content. This is LinkedIn's anti-scraping measure.

⚠️ Terms of Service: Ensure you comply with LinkedIn's Terms of Service when using this actor.

Troubleshooting

No results returned?

• Check your search parameters - job title and location are recommended
• Increase maxJobs value
• Try broader search terms

Masked content (asterisks)?

• This is LinkedIn's anti-scraping protection
• The actor filters these entries automatically
• Consider using Apify's proxy service for better results

Slow execution?

• LinkedIn has rate limiting - the actor adds strategic delays
• Use maxConcurrency of 1 (default) to avoid blocking
• Consider running during off-peak hours
