⚡ Best Practices & Pro Tips

1. Segment Broad Queries: LinkedIn displays up to 400-500 posts per search query. To extract thousands of posts, divide broad queries into smaller specific sub-queries (e.g. "Hiring Python", "Hiring React", "Hiring DevOps").
2. Target Specific Timeframes: Set postedLimit: "24h" or "week" for real-time outreach and finding fresh active job openings where recruiters are currently reviewing applicants.
3. Use Apify Residential Proxies: When running high-volume extractions (over 500 posts per run), always enable Apify Residential Proxies (RESIDENTIAL group) to avoid rate limiting and ensure maximum reliability.
