Automate a job search with Indeed

Due to changes in Indeed's easily apply application process. Job Automate no longer works on Indeed and thus is no longer maintained.

Job Automate is a command line application written in Python using the Selenium and Click libraries. The application uses the Indeed Job Search API to find and automatically apply to 'easily apply' jobs published by employers on Indeed.com. Job Automate requires access to Indeed's API with an Indeed Publisher Key. To obtain a key, please visit: http://www.indeed.com/publisher.

Installation

To install the script merely run the following command in a command line prompt:

$  pip install jobautomate

If you would rather install from source, run the following commands:

$  git clone https://github.com/mandeep/Job-Automate.git
$  cd Job-Automate
$  python install setup.py

Usage

Job Automate accepts the Indeed Publisher ID as an environment variable or as a command line flag. In order to be used as an environment variable, one must export API_KEY=ID to PATH. The command line application may be invoked with the following command, flags, and arguments:

Usage: jobautomate [OPTIONS] FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME EMAIL JOB_DESCRIPTION RESUME_PATH [JOB_LOCATION]

Optional arguments:
    --help            Show a help message and quit
    --key             Use the provided publisher key to access the Indeed API
    --verbose         Print to stdout the jobs that are not easily apply applications
    --vxfb            Run the application in a virtual display (Linux only)

Example:
$  jobautomate --key 12345 "Bender" "Rodriguez" "[email protected]" "Metalworking" "girder.doc"

Once entered the script will open a Firefox WebDriver instance and search for 'easily apply' jobs in the URLs given by the Indeed API. Due to the API only allowing 25 urls at a given time, the application will prompt for continuation after 25 urls have been traversed.

Indeed.FR

Would be possible to switch from indeed.com to indeed.fr? Thank you

Publisher account

Is it necessary to be a business owner in order to register and get the key?
Do I have to pay for that?
(I guess that without the key the application won't work)

any ideas would be appreciated

ISSUE: -params = {'start': } not set to 25

Hi Mandeep,

Testing the script reveals that -params = {'start': 0} does not change to -params = {'start': 25} after user types "yes" to contunue search beyond intial 25 results.

Best,
Anton
