This website is create to scrape the data from different websites and display them all in a single place. This website was created to make job search easier for students like me. The end goal is to scrape the data from any local website such that students can apply for jobs easily.
To run this project, you need to have Django and React installed.
Please refer to these websites for instructions on how to download:
- Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/install/
- React: https://react.dev/learn/installation
In addition, please download Axios using
npm install axios@latest
and Django REST Framework, Virtual Environment(Optional), BeautifulSoup
pip install "Your dependency"
The name for the dependencies listed above is djangorestframework, venv, bs4, respectively.
If you want to run it on a virtual environment, then in your local cmd first navigate to backend and type
venv\Scripts\activate
Then you can run the django server by simply typing
python manage.py runserver in your command prompt.
This will kickstart the backend API from where the frontend gets the data
Then navigate to web-app/my-app and run
npm start
Then you can visit your website on "localhost:300"
Open the website
Search for the jobs you are looking for
Click search and you will see a loading screen for a fraction of a second before the items load
If you want to apply to a job, just click on the card
Then it will take you to the job link
Next step is to scrape data from other websites like Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.
