Actually telling whether you're hitting an empty job board versus a borked token means running validation multiple times since both spit back HTTP 200. And if you're taking snapshots to track changes, you gotta version them by query params so you don't accidentally flag jobs as closed just because someone tweaked the filters. You've already got the defense stuff handled like try/continue blocks, validating titles and URLs and honestly the framing that 40 lines of code works for one platform is refreshingly real about what's actually feasible. Though the rate-limiting situation shifts by platform like smartrecruiters is always strict, lever's usually chill but kinda unpredictable, so definitely test that against the live endpoints before you scale this up. If you're just plugging into one board, this article is basically the instruction manual but if you're trying to aggregate multiple boards, layer on snapshot versioning and actual rate-limit tracking and you're good
