1. Start with supported sources
Open Playground. Choose a keyword, country, compatible platforms and optional filters. Maximum records applies to each platform; the quote shows the total ceiling. Neither value guarantees matches.
2. Review a quote
Set a credit budget. Check the current source coverage, price version and estimated reservation. Job Search charges one credit per verified delivered record; failed and empty tasks have no collection charge.
3. Submit once
The command coordinator creates a canonical key before submission. If its response is lost, keep the original key and check its receipt. Uncertainty is not a failed task and does not authorize a fresh submission.
4. Follow the task
The independently addressable task detail shows its input summary, initiating credential metadata, frozen quote, billing, source outcomes and collection notices. It distinguishes command uncertainty from task outcome.
5. Keep useful configurations
Unsubmitted Playground inputs remain in memory. To retain them across refreshes or devices, explicitly use Save as. Update original checks the Saved configuration's expected version and refuses stale edits.
6. Download during retention
Preview records and download JSONL or CSV before the task's actual seven-day expiry. A saved configuration is separate from a completed task or its result files.
