Best Practices

1. Start Small - Test with 20-50 jobs before large scrapes
2. Use Proxies - Enable Apify Proxy for best results
3. Specific Searches - Narrow keywords yield better matches
4. Schedule Runs - Set up daily/weekly scrapes for fresh data
5. Export Wisely - Use CSV for spreadsheets, JSON for APIs

Troubleshooting

No results found

• Verify search terms match actual JobsDB listings
• Try broader keywords or different locations
• Check if JobsDB has jobs for your query

Timeout errors

• Reduce results_wanted or max_pages
• Actor has safety limits to complete within time bounds

Missing descriptions

• Some employers don't provide detailed descriptions
• Enable collectDetails: true for full information

Pricing

Costs depend on:

• Number of jobs scraped
