FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do agencies and recruiters use this Actor for lead generation?

By scraping Craigslist Jobs (jjj), Gigs (ggg), and Local Services (bbb) with contact extraction enabled, teams capture direct phone numbers, emails, compensation details, and hiring managers.

Q: Can I scan an entire state or multi-city corridor in one run?

Yes. Select a regional preset like texas, florida, socal, norcal_bayarea, or tri_state_ny to aggregate job and service leads across every metro in that region.

Q: Does it extract compensation, employment type, and remote work flags?

Yes. Every record includes parsed compensation strings, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract, internship), telecommute/remote flags, and GPS coordinates.

Q: Can I paste a browser search URL directly?

Yes. Paste any Craigslist jobs, gigs, or services URL into searchUrl or startUrls and the Actor handles pagination and detail extraction automatically.
