If you're using the API interface to use Scrapers and want to add a custom identifier to jobs so that you can identify a job for a particular entity or data.

This can be done by passing a string to the property external_id in the body of the job creation request.

This external_id value will then be present in the job object when listing jobs, querying results and receiving the data by webhook.
