FAQ

How many jobs can this actor collect per run? Up to 500. Each keyword fetches up to 25 pages of about 20 results each. Multiple keywords run sequentially in the same pass.

Does it collect the full job description? No. It collects the short preview shown on the search result card (2-3 sentences). To get the full description, follow each jobUrl separately.

Can I search by specific city or state? Yes. Set location to the city or state (e.g. Austin, Texas) and locationPrecision to City or State.

What does the Sponsored field mean? Dice marks some listings as Sponsored when the employer has paid for promoted placement. Use isSponsored: false in your filter if you want only organic results.

Can I run multiple keywords at once? Yes. Add multiple items to searchKeywords and the actor runs each one in sequence, stopping when maxItems is reached.

What happens if a page returns no results? The actor stops paginating for that keyword and moves to the next one. It will not error out on an empty page.
