Input

Field	Type	Presence	Description and constraints
$	object	Root	Additional keys: not allowed
body	object	Required within parent	Additional keys: not allowed
body.job_url	string	Required within parent	Format: uri
body.proxy_location	JSON	Optional	Geographic Proxy location to route the browser traffic through. This is only available in Skyvern Cloud. Available geotargeting options: - RESIDENTIAL: the default value. Skyvern Cloud uses a random US residential proxy. - RESIDENTIAL_ES: Spain - RESIDENTIAL_IE: Ireland - RESIDENTIAL_GB: United Kingdom - RESIDENTIAL_IN: India - RESIDENTIAL_JP: Japan - RESIDENTIAL_FR: France - RESIDENTIAL_DE: Germany - RESIDENTIAL_NZ: New Zealand - RESIDENTIAL_PH: Philippines - RESIDENTIAL_KR: South Korea - RESIDENTIAL_SA: Saudi Arabia - RESIDENTIAL_ZA: South Africa - RESIDENTIAL_AR: Argentina - RESIDENTIAL_AU: Australia - RESIDENTIAL_BR: Brazil - RESIDENTIAL_TR: Turkey - RESIDENTIAL_CA: Canada - RESIDENTIAL_MX: Mexico - RESIDENTIAL_IT: Italy - RESIDENTIAL_NL: Netherlands - RESIDENTIAL_ISP: ISP proxy - US-CA: California (deprecated, routes through RESIDENTIAL_ISP) - US-NY: New York (deprecated, routes through RESIDENTIAL_ISP) - US-TX: Texas (deprecated, routes through RESIDENTIAL_ISP) - US-FL: Florida (deprecated, routes through RESIDENTIAL_ISP) - US-WA: Washington (deprecated, routes through RESIDENTIAL_ISP) - NONE: No proxy For self-hosted deployments, you can pass a custom proxy URL as a dict: {“url”: “http://user:password@proxy.example:8080”}. This routes the browser through your own proxy server and takes precedence over any globally configured proxy pool. Can also be a GeoTarget object for granular city/state targeting: {“country”: “US”, “subdivision”: “CA”, “city”: “San Francisco”}. Omit it or send null to use the default; Skyvern Cloud then uses RESIDENTIAL.

Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: skyvern.extract_job_application_v1_recipes_jobs_extract_post. Catalog operation: extract_job_application_v1_recipes_jobs_extract_post. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.
