Which of the three job boards to read. Physicians is the largest at 32,528 postings, advanced practitioners adds 8,376, and the newer healthcare board adds 546.
[ "physician", "advanced-practitioner", "healthcare"]Hard limit. Each job is one request, and the site asks for 5 seconds between requests, so this is roughly maxJobs x 6 seconds of runtime. The default of 12 is a quick sample; raise it for a real extract and give the run enough time.
Optional. Specific PracticeMatch job-details URLs to scrape. Overrides the board selection.
PracticeMatch publishes Crawl-Delay: 5 in its robots.txt and this actor honours it by default. Lowering it departs from what the site asks for and raises your risk of being blocked. At 5s you collect roughly 720 jobs per hour.
Walk the board from the most recently created postings backwards. Leave this on: the sitemap is written oldest-first, so turning it off starts you on listings dated as far back as 2007.
Keep only jobs whose title contains this text, e.g. "cardiology" or "locum".
Keep only jobs whose specialty contains this text, e.g. "Family Medicine", "Nurse Practitioners", "Surgeons".
Keep only jobs in this US state. Accepts either the two-letter code ("TX") or the full name ("Texas").
Keep only jobs of this type, e.g. FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, CONTRACTOR. Postings often carry more than one, and this matches any of them.
Roughly half of postings publish a real pay range. Turn this on to keep only those.
Keep only postings published in the last N days. Worth using: the sitemap still lists jobs dated as far back as 2007.
Remember job ids between runs and emit only postings not seen before. Turns a scheduled watch into a cheap delta instead of re-billing the whole board.
Namespace for incremental state. Use a different key per saved search so separate schedules do not share history.
