💡 Smart Usage Tips - Don't Pay Twice!

Live Job Monitoring (Near Real-Time)

⚠️ Use 10-30 minute overlap ONLY when scraping up to the present moment

Jobs can take up to 30 minutes to sync to our database. If you're monitoring live jobs (toDate = now), use overlap to catch delayed jobs:

// First run at 9:00 AM (scraping up to NOW)
{
    "limit": 50,
    "fromDate": "2025-01-14T07:00:00Z",
    "toDate": "2025-01-14T09:00:00Z"  // NOW
}

// Next run at 11:00 AM (scraping up to NOW)
{
    "limit": 50,
    "fromDate": "2025-01-14T08:30:00Z",  // 30-min overlap
    "toDate": "2025-01-14T11:00:00Z"     // NOW
}

// Next run at 1:00 PM (scraping up to NOW)
{
    "limit": 50,
    "fromDate": "2025-01-14T10:30:00Z",  // 30-min overlap
    "toDate": "2025-01-14T13:00:00Z"     // NOW
}

When to use overlap: Only when your toDate is the current time (live monitoring) Overlap duration: 10-30 minutes maximum (30 min for maximum safety)

Historical Data Collection (Past Jobs)

✅ NO overlap needed when scraping historical data

When collecting past jobs (not up to the present moment), use exact date boundaries:

// Day 1: Get January jobs
{
    "limit": 1000,
    "fromDate": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "toDate": "2025-01-31T23:59:59Z"  // Past date - NO overlap needed
}

// Day 2: Get February jobs
{
    "limit": 1000,
    "fromDate": "2025-02-01T00:00:00Z",  // Exact boundary - no overlap
    "toDate": "2025-02-28T23:59:59Z"     // Past date - NO overlap needed
}

Daily Batch Collection (Previous Day's Jobs)

✅ NO overlap needed for daily historical pulls

// Monday: Get Sunday's jobs
{
    "fromDate": "2025-01-13T00:00:00Z",  // Sunday start
    "toDate": "2025-01-13T23:59:59Z"     // Sunday end - NO overlap
}

// Tuesday: Get Monday's jobs
{
    "fromDate": "2025-01-14T00:00:00Z",  // Monday start - exact boundary
    "toDate": "2025-01-14T23:59:59Z"     // Monday end - NO overlap
}

Key Rule: Overlap is ONLY for live monitoring when toDate = current time

Cost-Effective Filtering

Start with strict filters to minimize costs:

• Use "client.paymentMethodVerified": true to filter serious clients
• Set "budget.minClientHireRate": 50 to avoid job collectors
• Add "client.totalSpent.min": "1000" for proven clients

📍 Location Reference Guide

How to Use Locations

Locations in client.includeLocations, client.excludeLocations, and vendor.includeLocations use this format:

{"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "US"}  // For countries
{"type": "REGION", "value": "europe"} // For regions

Common Country Codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)

Country	Code	Country	Code
United States	US	United Kingdom	GB
Canada	CA	Australia	AU
Germany	DE	France	FR
Netherlands	NL	Switzerland	CH
Sweden	SE	Denmark	DK
Norway	NO	Finland	FI
Spain	ES	Italy	IT
Poland	PL	Ukraine	UA
India	IN	Pakistan	PK
Bangladesh	BD	Philippines	PH
Singapore	SG	Japan	JP
Brazil	BR	Mexico	MX
Argentina	AR	Israel	IL
United Arab Emirates	AE	South Africa	ZA

Available Regions

Region	Value	Includes
North America	north_america	US, CA, MX
Europe	europe	All EU countries + UK, CH, NO
Asia	asia	All Asian countries
South America	south_america	All South American countries
Africa	africa	All African countries
Oceania	oceania	AU, NZ, Pacific Islands

Example Usage

// Include only US and European clients
"client.includeLocations": [
    {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "US"},
    {"type": "REGION", "value": "europe"}
]

// Exclude specific countries
"client.excludeLocations": [
    {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "PK"},
    {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "BD"},
    {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "IN"}
]

// Vendor location preferences
"vendor.includeLocations": [

    {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "PH"}
]

Note: For the complete list of ISO country codes, see ISO 3166-1 alpha-2

🔍 Troubleshooting

Getting 0 Results?

1. Check your date range - Ensure dates aren't in the future
2. Verify category names - Must match exactly from the enum list (e.g., "Web Development" not "Web Dev")
3. Remove filters progressively - Start broad, then add filters one by one
4. Check parameter structure - Use dot notation format (e.g., "budget.hourlyRate.min": "50")

Validation Errors?

1. Use dot notation - Not nested objects: "includeKeywords.active": true ✅ vs {"includeKeywords": {"active": true}} ❌
2. Exact category names - "Mobile Development (Web/Mobile)" not "Mobile Development"
3. Location format - Must have both fields: {"type": "COUNTRY", "value": "US"}
4. Quote string values - Budget amounts must be strings: "50" not 50

Performance Issues?

1. Start small - Test with limit: 100 before scaling up
2. Simplify filters - Complex keyword combinations slow processing
3. Segment large requests - Use date ranges to break up big searches
4. Avoid overlapping filters - Don't use contradictory include/exclude rules

Unexpected Costs?

1. Always set limit - Without it, you might pull thousands of jobs
2. Test first - Start with limit: 10 to verify your filters work
3. Check itemCount - Monitor response counts before scaling up
4. Remember billing - You pay $0.003 per job returned, not per API call
