Project Scope: Indeed Job Scraper and Integration
Project Overview
This project involves developing a job scraping tool to collect marketing operations job listings from Indeed, storing them in a Supabase database, and collaborating with the Marketing Ops Pros developer to integrate this data into their job board backend.
Objectives
- Create a reliable scraper to extract marketing operations job listings from Indeed.
- Develop a system to store and manage the scraped job data in Supabase.
- Provide secure access to the Supabase database for the Marketing Ops Pros developer.
- Ensure smooth integration of the scraped data into the existing job board backend.
Deliverables
- Job scraping tool capable of extracting 300+ job listings from Indeed.
- Supabase database populated with scraped job data.
- Documentation for database schema and API access.
- Integration support and documentation for the Marketing Ops Pros developer.
Phase 1: Job Scraper Development
- Design and implement the Indeed job scraper.
- Ensure compliance with Indeed's terms of service and robots.txt.
- Implement error handling and logging.
- Test the scraper with a small sample set.
Phase 2: Supabase Database Setup and Data Ingestion
- Design the database schema for storing job listings.
- Set up the Supabase project and configure necessary tables.
- Develop the data ingestion process to populate the Supabase database.
- Implement data validation and deduplication mechanisms.
Phase 3: API Access and Documentation
- Configure Supabase API access for the Marketing Ops Pros developer.
- Create comprehensive API documentation, including endpoints and data formats.
- Implement necessary security measures for API access.
Phase 4: Integration Support
- Collaborate with the Marketing Ops Pros developer to plan the integration approach.
- Provide technical support during the integration process.
- Assist in troubleshooting any issues that arise during integration.
- Conduct joint testing to ensure data flows correctly from Supabase to the job board backend.
Key Considerations
- Ensure compliance with Indeed's terms of service and data usage policies.
- Implement robust error handling and monitoring for the scraper.
- Maintain data integrity and freshness in the Supabase database.
- Prioritize clear communication and collaboration with the Marketing Ops Pros developer.
Out of Scope
- Front-end development for the job board.
- Maintenance of the job board backend beyond the initial integration.
This project scope is subject to review and may be adjusted based on feedback from stakeholders or as new requirements emerge during the project.
