Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I scrape jobs without providing a company?
A: Yes! You can use the keywords field to search for jobs by title or keywords.

Q: How does the proxy fallback work?
A: The actor starts with no proxy. If LinkedIn blocks the request, it automatically falls back to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy with 3 retries. All proxy events are logged clearly.

Q: What's the maximum number of jobs I can scrape?
A: The maxJobs field accepts values from 1 to 10,000. Default is 200.

Q: Can I filter by multiple criteria?
A: Yes! You can combine location, work type, contract type, experience level, and publication date filters.

Q: How long does scraping take?
A: It depends on the number of jobs. The actor processes jobs in batches with delays to avoid rate limiting. Typically, 100 jobs take 5-10 minutes.
