Important Notes

• This actor respects LinkedIn's Terms of Service and implements appropriate rate limiting
• For large-scale scraping, consider using residential proxies to improve success rates
• The actor automatically handles pagination and deduplication
• Job descriptions are extracted using multiple fallback methods for reliability
• Failed requests are automatically retried with exponential backoff

Cost Considerations

• Each job detail page fetched counts as one request
• List pages are also counted in the total request count
• Use collectOnly: true to minimize costs if you only need job URLs
