Tips for Best Results

Use Relevant Daijob URLs

• Start with working Daijob search-result URLs for focused collection.
• Use a specific detail page when you only need one job record.
• Keep the default URL for broad multilingual job discovery.

Balance Depth and Speed

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for quick verification.
• Increase max_pages when you want broader coverage from a search page.
• Match results_wanted to your real reporting need instead of collecting unnecessary volume.

Improve Stability

• Use residential proxies for larger collection runs.
• Retry with a smaller page range if you only need a narrow sample.
• Keep a stable search URL when comparing results over time.

Work With Structured Fields

• Use job_types, industry, and location_path for grouping and filtering.
• Use description_text for analysis and description_html when you need formatted description content.
• Use the remaining top-level fields directly without extra nested cleanup.

---

Proxy Configuration

For more stable larger runs, residential proxies are recommended:

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Daijob search URL?

Yes. A Daijob search-result URL is the best starting point when you want a focused dataset for a specific query or filter combination.

Can I scrape a single job page?

Yes. If startUrl points to a Daijob detail page, the actor returns the structured record for that job.

How many jobs can I collect?

You can collect as many as are available within your selected page range and result limit. Increase max_pages when your search spans many result pages.

Why are some fields missing on certain jobs?

Some Daijob listings do not publish every field. When the source page does not provide a section, that field is omitted from the dataset instead of being filled with empty values.

Are duplicate jobs removed?

Yes. Jobs are deduplicated by unique listing identity before dataset output.

Does the actor include apply links?

Yes. When available, the output includes direct Daijob apply links and save links.
