Maximum limit
Closed
I've encountered some unexpected behaviour with the maximum results setting:
- Default Value Issue: When I run the actor without specifying a maximum results value, it automatically defaults to 200 results. Could this default be removed or increased? I'd prefer it to run without a limit unless I explicitly set one.
- Minimum Value Constraint: When I attempted to set maximum results to 10,000 (my target is approximately 7,000 results), the system wouldn't accept any value below 550. Is there a minimum constraint of 550 results? This seems counterintuitive as it prevents setting lower limits when needed.
Could you clarify:
Why the 550 minimum exists? If the default 200 behaviour can be changed? What the recommended approach is for getting ~7,000 results?
Thanks!
Thanks for reaching out!
- Seek's platform itself limits standard search results to around 550. You’ll see this if you try to navigate past page 25, no additional results load beyond that point. It’s a platform cap, not something imposed by the actor.
- The actor defaults to 200 results to help avoid unexpected charges for users who might forget to set a limit.
To get around Seek's cap and gather ~7,000 results, the best method is to break down your search by location (state, city, or postcode) and run separate queries for each. This essentially paginates the data across multiple, non-overlapping runs.
If you’d prefer not to do this manually, I’m happy to help automate the breakdown and schedule the runs for you. Just shoot me an email at jacob@websift.com.au and we can sort it out.

Is there a exclusion setting that we can put for 10 websites.. like actor should not import these websites only?
I’m not sure I understand your question, this actor only scrapes jobs from seek so I’m not sure why you’d need exclusion websites.

Hi Jacob, thanks for the response!
No problems, understood. I can just run separate queries, it will only be a one-off.
