Tips

• Multiple titles: Add several titles (e.g. ["Data Scientist", "ML Engineer", "AI Engineer"]) to cast a wider net in one run.
• Finding low-competition jobs: Enable under_10_applicants or set max_applicants to a small number like 50.
• Speed vs. richness: Disable fetch_details to run much faster with basic card data only. Enable it to get descriptions, skills, and hiring manager info.
• Company insights: Enable fetch_company_details to enrich results with follower count and employee count. Only one request is made per unique company across all results, so the overhead is low when jobs span a small set of companies.
• Company filter: To find jobs only at specific companies, look up their LinkedIn company ID from the URL (e.g. linkedin.com/company/google/ → search for Google's numeric ID) and pass it in company_ids.
• Rate limits: The scraper includes built-in jitter delays and retry logic to avoid LinkedIn rate limits. If you hit persistent 429 errors, try adding a proxy.

Limitations

• LinkedIn's public job API returns a maximum of ~500 jobs per search query.
• Applicant counts, salary, and hiring manager info are only shown when LinkedIn includes them — not all job postings have this data.
• LinkedIn may occasionally return fewer results than requested for niche searches.
• This actor uses LinkedIn's public guest API and does not require login. It does not scrape private or authenticated content.
