Known limitations

• Salary data: Only ~60% of listings publish salary information. salaryMin may be null; Computrabajo's structured data does not include a salary range — only a single value.
• Empty keyword: Leaving keyword blank returns no results. Computrabajo's /empleos root URL is a homepage, not a job listing. Always specify a keyword.
• Sort order: Results are returned in the platform's default relevance order. Custom sort is not supported via URL parameters.
• Run timeout: For runs above 20 items, set the timeout to at least 900 seconds in the run options.
