The APEC is an official French job board for middle management/executive jobs:
This project is an experiment on data collection, geocoding, indexing, analysis and visualization, based on APEC job offers. The result is interesting because:
- It provides real data to play with, with all its flaws (typo, mismatched fields, unsanitized inputs, etc.)
- It highlights trends, in recruiting cycles, in popular technologies, etc.
- It has to run on a Raspberry Pi 2 which brings amusing technical constraints.
Live demo:
OpenCage geocoder is used to locate the job offers, you can get an API key from http://geocoder.opencagedata.com/. Then put it in $APEC_GEOCODING_KEY so apec command can use it automatically.
# Crawl job offers in Finistère (west of Brittany)
$ apec crawl --location=29
# Index and geocode them
$ APEC_GEOCODING_KEY=YOUR_OPENCAGE_API_KEY apec index
# Start the web server on :8081
$ apec web
All commands can be listed with:
$ apec
