How to watch job listings from indeed.com using Scraper.AI

While it's an interesting method I'm doing the same thing but by using RSS feeds and it's way more simple than using a scraping service. Go to Indeed, do a search with your preferred parameters (job title, city, pay, etc) and add the URL to a RSS Reader like Feedly or Inoreader. Done.

  RSS is indeed a great way, a lot of sites don't support RSS. This method shows how to do it without, might worth having a tutorial on how to do it with RSS

I'm always interested in these anonymous reviews that make "x seem so easy", I end up assuming there's a bias. The guide was written by "Maxim" and posted as "artif4ct". The tool "Scraper.AI" is owned by the company "Roadwork", which a google of "Roadwork scraperai" leads to the likely developer Xavier Geerinck[1]. A google of "Xavier Geerinck "Maxim"" leads then to the brother Maxim Geerinck who has a real medium page [2]. The poster "artif4ct" previously talked a lot about betanotify.com, which was written by Maxim so it's fair to assume Maxim runs "artif4ct". I have nothing against self-promotion of a neat tool, but using a sock-puppet medium account to promote the ease of a tool your brother wrote without any mention of the bias or cost is, in my opinion, unethical. On another note, there's a small spelling mistake here: "Therefor we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit." which should be "Therefore we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit.". 1. https://twitter.com/xaviergeerinck?lang=en https://twitter.com/xaviergeerinck?lang=en 2. https://medium.com/@maximgeerinck https://medium.com/@maximgeerinck 3. https://www.indiehackers.com/product/beta-notify https://www.indiehackers.com/product/beta-notify

People really will stick "AI" onto anything these days.

  This just makes me want to get the domains aiaicaptain, aiofthetiger, aight, aisee, aido and aiofthestorm. spoiler alert: they were all taken! (except for aiofthestorm if someone wants it)
