# Running a manual job

In addition to scheduled runs, you can trigger a job manually using one of the following options:

1. While setting up a project, you are prompted to choose the scraping frequency. Find the "Just scrape once" option from the dropdown menu. Choosing this option and clicking on "save project" ensures the job will be triggered right away and will run **only once**.

2. You can manually start a job, by clicking on the "Run job now" button inside the project details page. This option is available for all projects, so it does not matter if the status is "Scheduled" or "Not scheduled".

A new job can only be started if there are no other running jobs. All jobs have to be finished (project-specific), in order to start a new one.&#x20;
