Frequently Asked Questions

How many jobs can I collect?

Set results_wanted to your target. Start with 20 for testing and increase for production use.

Can I scrape from a specific company page?

Yes. Add company Workable URLs to the startUrls array, or use company search on Workable to find their listings.

What if a search returns nothing?

The scraper auto-generates relaxed query variants by removing date, location, or keyword filters to recover data.

Does it support remote and hybrid filtering?

Yes. Use location: "remote" or pair with keywords for precise workplace type matching.

Can I schedule recurring runs?

Yes. Use Apify schedules to run daily or weekly for an up-to-date dataset.

What if some fields are empty?

Some employers do not publish every field. Empty values are expected for optional fields.

How are duplicates handled?

The scraper uses job ID, URL, slug, and title-company-date fallbacks to detect and skip duplicates.

Can I use my own proxy?

Yes. Configure custom proxy URLs through the proxyConfiguration parameter. Both Apify proxy and custom lists are supported.
