Tips for Best Results

Refine Your Keywords

• Use clearance-specific terms like "TS/SCI", "Polygraph", or "Secret" to filter by clearance level
• Combine role and skill: "software engineer python" or "cybersecurity analyst CISSP"
• Start with results_wanted: 20 to verify your search returns what you expect before scaling up

Use Location for Precision

• Enter a city and state ("Arlington, VA") for tighter geographic targeting
• Leave location blank to collect results nationwide
• Use a ZIP code when targeting a very specific area around a base or facility

Proxy Configuration

For large-scale or repeated runs, residential proxies significantly reduce the chance of access interruptions. Configure them like this:

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account on ClearedJobs.net to use this?

No. This scraper collects publicly available job listings without requiring any login or account credentials.

How recent is the data I'll collect?

Results are collected in real time each time the actor runs. You'll always get the most current listings available on the site at the moment of your run.

Can I collect full job descriptions?

Yes. Each listing is enriched with the complete job description in both HTML and plain text formats, pulled from the individual job detail page.

What clearance levels does ClearedJobs.net list?

The site covers the full spectrum of cleared positions including Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, TS/SCI with Polygraph, and other specialized government contractor roles.

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

There's no hard limit built into the actor. You control the volume with results_wanted and max_pages. The practical ceiling is the number of results the site returns for your search.

What proxies should I use for large runs?

Residential proxies via Apify Proxy are recommended for runs above a few hundred results. They provide the most reliable access without interruptions.

What if some fields like salary or education are empty?

Those fields are optional on ClearedJobs.net. When a listing doesn't include that information, the field is omitted from the output rather than returning an empty value.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run the actor daily, weekly, or at any interval you choose - ideal for continuous job market monitoring.
