Tips for Best Results

Choose Effective Keywords

• Use specific job titles for targeted results (e.g., "software engineer" vs "tech")
• Combine keywords with locations for regional searches
• Test different keyword variations to maximize coverage

Optimize Collection Settings

• Start with smaller limits (50-100 jobs) for testing
• Enable collectDetails for comprehensive data, disable for faster scraping
• Set maxPages to prevent excessive crawling on broad searches

Use Date Filters Wisely

• Use 24h or 7d for fresh job postings
• Use 30d for broader market analysis
• Use anytime for comprehensive historical data

Monitor Performance

• Balance maxJobs and maxPages based on your needs
• Disable collectDetails if descriptions aren't required
• Use appropriate proxy configuration for reliable access

Frequently Asked Questions

How many jobs can I collect?

You can collect up to the limit specified in maxJobs. The actor will automatically handle pagination to reach your target. For unlimited collection, leave maxJobs empty.

Does the scraper work with direct URLs?

Yes, you can provide a Learn4Good search URL in the startUrl field. This will override keyword and location filters.

What happens if I disable collectDetails?

The scraper will only extract data visible on listing pages, which is faster but may result in shorter or missing descriptions. Enable it for complete job information.

Can I filter by posting date?

Yes, use the posted_date parameter to filter jobs posted within the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or anytime.

How does pagination work?

The actor automatically navigates through result pages until it reaches maxJobs or maxPages limit, whichever comes first.

What if some fields are empty?

Some jobs may not include all fields (e.g., company name or exact posting date). The scraper extracts all available information from the source.

Do I need proxies?

The actor uses Apify datacenter proxies by default, which work well for most cases. You can configure custom proxies if needed.

How long does a typical run take?

Runtime depends on the number of jobs and whether collectDetails is enabled. Expect 1-3 minutes per 100 jobs with details, faster without.
