📈 Performance & limits

Metric	Value
Speed	~50 jobs per second
Max results	Up to 10,000 listings per search
Memory	128–256 MB
Data freshness	Real-time — listings are current at scrape time
Total catalog	500,000–800,000 active listings at any given time

💡 Tips for best results

1. No keyword needed — leave keywords empty to browse all jobs in a location
2. Use startUrls for advanced filters — set up your search on arbeitsagentur.de, copy the URL, and paste it into startUrls to apply any filter (work schedule, contract type, recency, etc.)
3. Use postal codes — a PLZ like 10115 targets a more precise area than a city name
4. Set maxItems generously — the catalog is large; start with a higher limit to avoid missing results
5. Combine keyword + location — both together give the most relevant and precise results

❓ FAQ
