Tips for Best Results

Start Small, Then Scale

• Run with results_wanted between 20 and 50 first
• Validate output fields before large production runs
• Increase limits after confirming your filters

Use Targeted Queries

• Combine keyword and location for higher relevance
• Use specific job-title phrases for cleaner datasets
• Keep category focused when narrowing industry segments

Keep Data Clean

• Job IDs are deduplicated automatically during collection
• Full job details are always collected by default
• Re-run on schedules to keep listings fresh

Improve Reliability in Cloud Runs

• Use proxyConfiguration with residential proxies
• Retry with smaller max_pages if the source is unstable
• Schedule multiple smaller runs instead of one very large run

Proxy Configuration

For reliable cloud execution, residential proxies are recommended:

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
