    Dataset order fulfilment and scraper freshness controls

    • Scraper discovery window is now configurable, with an alert if a whole cycle returns empty.

    LinkedIn Jobs Dataset — $199 snapshot, $49/mo live access

    • Every public LinkedIn job posting indexed since April 2026 — 8M+ rows across 218 regions — as a one-time PostgreSQL dump, CSV and JSONL.
    • Live read-only Postgres access at $49/mo for teams that would rather query than download.
    • job_applicant_history: a timestamped applicant-count series per posting, captured by a database trigger.
    • Free 1,000-row sample with the full schema and descriptions at /linkedin-jobs-sample-1000.json — no signup.
