• url is the first apply link (falls back to the Google Jobs link); applyLinks lists every job board offering the posting.
• date is Google's relative posting age (e.g. "3 days ago").

How it works

The Actor sends browser-like requests through Apify Proxy (GOOGLE_SERP group, US exit IPs) and parses the server-rendered Google Jobs page. Google serves one page of 10 jobs per query (more jobs are only loaded by in-page JavaScript), so to go beyond 10 results the Actor runs refinements of the same query (full time, remote, senior, entry level, ...) and de-duplicates jobs by Google job id. Google sometimes answers with an empty Jobs page or blocks a request; the Actor then retries with a new proxy session.

Limitations

• Google returns 10 jobs per search. Beyond that the Actor refines the query, so a large maxItems may return fewer jobs than requested (and later jobs match refined queries such as "remote" or "senior").
• Without a location, results lean to the proxy's region (US).
• date is relative and salary is only present when Google shows it.
• A run that finds no jobs ends as FAILED.
