Deploy and Host jobs-scraper on Railway

jobs-scraper is a FastAPI app that scrapes LinkedIn's public job search results and returns structured job listings including title, company, location, description, salary, and seniority, as JSON. Built for daily automation workflows and LLM-based filtering pipelines.

About Hosting jobs-scraper

jobs-scraper exposes a single POST endpoint (/jobs) that accepts search keywords, location, and work type filters. On each request it scrapes LinkedIn's public guest job search API, fetches individual job detail pages for full descriptions, and returns clean structured JSON. Hosting on Railway gives you a persistent, always-on URL you can hit from automation tools like Make, Zapier, or a cron job — no local machine required.

Common Use Cases

• Daily job digest emails filtered by an LLM to match your ideal role
• Automated job tracking pipeline feeding into a spreadsheet or database

Implementation Details

POST /jobs with a JSON body:

  "searches": [
    {"location": "Chicago", "work_type": "hybrid"},
    {"location": "", "work_type": "remote"}
  ]
}

work_type accepts "onsite", "remote", "hybrid", or "". Add "debug": true to the payload to include request logs in the response.
