JobSpy Node (Independent TS Port)

Independent Node.js/TypeScript Jobspy ported from the original Python version. Provides a simple API to scrape job listings from various platforms. Available on npm as jobspy-node

⚠️ AI-Built Disclaimer ⚠️

This project was built practically as a one-shot by Codex 5.3 on xhigh (with human review and testing).

• Expect rough edges.
• Please validate outputs before relying on them in production.
• Scraper breakage can happen anytime when sites change.

Attribution

Special thanks to the JobSpy maintainers. This package is a Node.js/TypeScript port of the JobSpy project.

Install

npm install jobspy-node

Quick Start

import { scrapeJobs, toCsv } from "jobspy-node";

const result = await scrapeJobs({
  siteName: ["indeed", "linkedin", "glassdoor"],
  searchTerm: "software engineer",
  location: "San Francisco, CA",
  resultsWanted: 10,
  hoursOld: 72,
});

console.log("jobs:", result.jobs.length);
console.log("errors:", result.errors);
console.log(toCsv(result.jobs));

Output

scrapeJobs() returns:

• jobs: normalized JobPost[]
• errors: structured per-site failures (429, parser changes, network issues)
• meta: timings, per-site status, warnings, and partial-success metadata

Supported Sites

Currently supported websites (implemented in this package):

• linkedin.com (LinkedIn)
• indeed.com and regional Indeed domains (Indeed)
• glassdoor.com (Glassdoor)
• naukri.com (Naukri)

Not currently supported in this package:

• ZipRecruiter
• Google Jobs
• Bayt
• BDJobs

Notes

• Multi-site scrapes return partial success by default (strict: false).
• Sites change frequently; parser regressions can happen without warning.
• Use proxies for better reliability on restrictive providers.
• Run npm run test:smoke for an opt-in live smoke test.

Responsible Use

Use this library responsibly and in compliance with site terms, robots policies, and local laws.
