Troubleshooting
The Actor returns fewer results than expected.
Check the 'Maximum job listings' input. If it is set to a low number, the Actor stops early. Also, We Work Remotely only shows a finite number of listings per category.
I got an error or timeout.
The site might be temporarily slow. Try increasing the run's timeout in the advanced settings, or retry the run after a few minutes.
The output is missing the job description.
Some listings may have very short or empty descriptions. Verify a few known listings on the live site to confirm the data is present there.
How do I scrape all categories in one go?
The Actor is designed for one category per run. To collect all jobs, run the Actor once with the '(All categories)' option selected.
