2. Set Reasonable Limits: Start with maxJobs: 50 for testing
3. Enable Full Descriptions: Set includeFullDescription: true for comprehensive data
4. Country-Specific Searches: Use appropriate country codes for regional targeting
5. URL Format: Use hyphens for multi-word search queries (e.g., recursos-humanos)

⚠️ Important Notes

• Residential proxies are strongly recommended for Computrabajo
• Extraction speed depends on includeFullDescription setting
• Some job listings may not include salary information
• Automatic deduplication prevents duplicate job entries
• Pagination is handled automatically up to maxJobs limit
