Notes

• Proxy usage: Apify Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Indeed actively blocks datacenter IPs.
• Rate of requests: The actor uses maxConcurrency: 5 to avoid triggering anti-bot measures.
• Indeed's structure: Indeed frequently updates its HTML structure. If results are empty, the selectors may need updating.
• Legal: Always check Indeed's Terms of Service before using this actor commercially. This actor is intended for research and personal use.
