• Full catalogue scrape completes in approximately 15–20 minutes
• $0.99 per 1,000 results — no proxy costs, no external API fees

Notes

• Company names are not publicly visible on Jobsplus without a registered account. The company field is always null. It is retained for cross-actor schema consistency so pipelines combining multiple scrapers do not break.
• Vacancy publication dates are not exposed by the platform. The publishDate field is always null. Retained for cross-actor schema consistency.
• isRepost is always false because Jobsplus does not currently expose repost metadata. The field is retained for cross-actor schema consistency; if Jobsplus adds repost information in future, the field will reflect it automatically.
• All salary amounts are in EUR — Malta uses the Euro.
• Vacancies are typically active for one month from publication.
