• Run separate searches per region for cleaner analysis.

Improve Reliability

• Keep results_wanted within reasonable limits to avoid long runtimes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many jobs can I collect in a single run?

You can collect all matching job listings. Use results_wanted to set your target count. The actor stops automatically once the limit is reached.

What is the difference between startUrl and keyword?

startUrl uses a complete Naukrigulf search URL with any filters already applied. keyword is simpler - just provide a role name and the actor builds the search for you.

Why are some fields empty or null?

Certain listings do not include salary, vacancy count, or full company details. Boolean flags default to null when the API does not provide that information for a specific job.

Which fields help identify premium listings?

is_top_employer, is_premium, is_sponsored, and is_featured_employer indicate listing prominence. Use these fields to surface high-quality opportunities.

How do I get more stable runs?

Enable Apify Proxy with residential groups (this is the default). The API requires residential proxy - datacenter proxies and direct connections may cause HTTP/2 connection errors.

Can I collect jobs from multiple regions in one run?

Each run targets a single region. Run the actor multiple times with different region values and combine the datasets for multi-region analysis.

Does the actor handle pagination automatically?

Yes, pagination is handled internally. The actor requests additional pages as needed until your results_wanted target is reached or no more jobs are found.

What do the boolean employer flags mean?

is_consultant means the job is posted through a recruitment agency. is_confidential means the company name is not publicly listed. is_easy_apply allows one-click applications.

How fresh is the job data?

The date_posted field provides an ISO timestamp. Results are collected in real-time from Naukrigulf at the moment of your run.

Is there a limit on how often I can run?

There are no hard limits. For frequent runs, use proxy configuration to avoid rate limiting and respect the website terms of service.
