👋Hi all, This might benefit those of you who are starting or running your own job boards: having a central reliable source for jobs data/backfill to get your site off the ground and populate it with real jobs that jobseekers are actually looking for. The goal for this project is to make building scrapers or consuming crappy and outdated job feeds from large job sites, only to send visitors back to them, obsolete. Maybe give it a go and save some time when launching your next job board! 🚀

@avinash_2369cc80f9 just get everything (when u subscribe u can go crazy, hehe) - just kidding...yeah there's filters like: title={part of or full job title string} location={part of or full location string} type={full time | part time | freelance | contract | intern | temp} and my favourite: has_remote={ true | false } All GET parameters, and can occur all together. Pretty straight-forward. A documentation w/ overview will follow the next days, haven't created it yet- sales first, docs later xD

Is there a 7 day or may be 1 day trial? If not then some other way for me to see the total listings available from India for Internships. This information will help me take the call to subscribe or not.

@pranav_pai_vernekar Check this: https://jobdata.foorilla.com/api... Note: location filter is not exhaustive as it's is free text basically. Recommend also searching for e.g. location= etc. to get the full picture. We're actually getting everything on our sites and then filter/structure locally atm. (w/ global job boards not so big an issue) BUT: if you subscribe I'll add a way to filter for structured location data like countries - just haven't implemented yet :D

very cool idea. I wonder how you can keep this running if you do not get enough paid members.

@staticmaker1 Good question! The secret is, this thing is already running for over 3yrs internally and powers two of the somewhat most popular job boards in their respective niches (not difficult to find out which ones, lol). So it's more like making (hopefully a lot) use of leftovers (and maybe improving it with more subs on board). No worries at all about keeping it running in the near future :)

@patfoo What is the secret of running a successful job board? Also if you do not mind me asking, why not launch more job boards if they are working?

@staticmaker1 Usually it's having some domain knowledge and ideally already an audience in that domain/industry. In the end there's not really much new under the sun when it comes to job boards tbh...it's 95% marketing game (tech is simple, although not always easy when u get into detail) in the end and you have to appeal to two different kind of customers (jobseekers + recruiters). That's tough! When you're already running two niche boards that's probably all u can get, tried lots more, only two stuck. And if u do that for half a decade doing something else could be fun ;)

@budb Thx! Yes, I'm also quite curious - There are dozens of examples in the bottom of the front-page, but I'm sure the variations can go into the hundreds :)

Just curious 🤔 Do you scrape the data or you manually reach out to all these companies.

@devarsh_mavani no scraping at all. It's all directly "from the source", meaning company's ATS / hr tools (think greenhouse, workable, etc.). That's why all the apply links in the listings go there. Nice and clean, without any detours to 3rd party job sites or other such crap...

@devarsh_mavani Sure, it's all public basically. See e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=... - Google also seems happily indexing it all...
