What you give it

InputTypeDescription
boardUrlsarrayrequiredPages whose HTML contains schema.org JobPosting data - individual job pages, and server-rendered boards. Board index and search pages usually do NOT work: they build their list in the browser, so the HTML has no jobs in it. To check a page, View Source and search for 'JobPosting'. The defaults below are real pages you can run as-is.
returnModestringoptional'New and changed only' is the point of a monitor. Use 'all' for a one-off full scrape.
titleIncludesarrayoptionalCase-insensitive. Leave empty for all titles.
titleExcludesarrayoptionalFilter out seniority levels or roles you don't want.
remoteOnlybooleanoptionalKeep only postings whose location or job type says remote. Off by default.
minSalaryintegeroptionalJobs with no published salary are always kept - most listings omit it.
postedWithinDaysintegeroptionalIgnore postings older than this many days. Leave empty for no age limit.
includeRemovedbooleanoptionalReport postings that disappeared since the last run.
maxItemsintegeroptionalHard limit, strictly enforced.
maxConcurrencyintegeroptionalHow many board pages to fetch at once. Lower it if a site rate-limits you.
