indeed-ruby

A client library for using the Indeed Jobsearch API

Via rubygems.org:

$ gem install indeed-ruby

The Indeed API needs to be called with your Indeed publisher number. You must pass this to the Indeed::Client constructor.

require 'indeed-ruby'

client = Indeed::Client.new "YOUR_PUBLISHER_NUMBER"

If you do not have a publisher number, you can receive one by heading to the Indeed Publisher Portal.

require 'indeed-ruby'

client = Indeed::Client.new "YOUR_PUBLISHER_NUMBER"

params = {
    :q => 'ruby',
    :l => 'austin',
    :userip => '1.2.3.4',
    :useragent => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2)',
}

client.search(params)

require 'indeed-ruby'

client = Indeed::Client.new "YOUR_PUBLISHER_NUMBER"

params = {
    :jobkeys => ["5898e9d8f5c0593f", "c2c41f024581eae5"],
}
