Frequently Asked Questions

How many jobs can I collect in one run?

You can collect up to your configured results_wanted value, bounded by available listings and max_pages.

Can I run without a keyword?

Yes. You can provide a startUrl directly, or run broad collection with location/date constraints.

Why do some fields vary between records?

Job listings are publisher-dependent, so available fields differ by employer and listing type.

Does the actor avoid duplicates?

Yes. Duplicate jobs are skipped using stable identifiers and URL fallback matching.

Can I schedule this actor?

Yes. Use Apify schedules for continuous market monitoring and reporting pipelines.
