Frequently Asked Questions

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

You can collect as many as available for your filters, controlled by results_wanted and max_pages.

Can I scrape from a custom filtered URL?

Yes. Provide a filtered startUrl and the actor will continue from that context.

Are empty fields removed automatically?

Yes. Empty and null-like values are omitted from dataset items to keep output clean.

Can duplicate jobs appear across pages?

Runs are deduplicated by posting ID, so repeated jobs from pagination overlap are skipped.

What are Description_html and Description_text?

They are mapped description fields from available API description content.

Why might some jobs not include description fields?

Most jobs now include description fields, but a small subset can still be empty when no description text is available in source responses.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes. You can schedule runs to keep job feeds updated automatically.
