Reddit-Job-Search

Junter is a simple to use, free and open source web application to find job opportunities on Reddit.
I built this when I was looking for a job as a python developer, Reddit is a great place to find jobs, but there are a lot of subreddits to check for
and itโ€™s hard to search all these subs, and filter jobs by keywords.
Junter uses Reddit API through PRAW and Flask on the backend, standard Jinja 2 is used for rendering (moving to VueJS/React/Angular) would make it faster
So I decided to build Junter to make this easier for everyone, enjoy ๐Ÿ˜€

Setting Up:

First, create a Reddit app and get the client ID and secret key, clone this project (or fork to add other features).
Install the requirements : pip install -r requirements.txt , main dependencies are Flask and PRAW .

Authentication:

Grab the client ID and secret key, and put it in the search.py file, you will find two strings : client and secret (should be on the 20th and 21st line), paste your keys there

Launching:

You should be ready, just fire up the terminal and run python server.py and the web app should work .

Some Suggestion:

  • Add craiglist scraping
  • Search jobs on Twitter
  • Search jobs on facebook groups
  • Make it automated and store jobs in a database to make search faster, scraper should run every hour to get up-to date results
