NAME

WebService::Careerjet - Perl interface to Careerjet's public job search API

VERSION

Version 4.2

SYNOPSIS

This module provides a Perl interface to the public search API of Careerjet, a vertical search engine for job offers that features job offers in over 60 countries. (https://www.careerjet.com/sites)

An API key will be required which you can get when by opening a partner account with Careerjet ((https://www.careerjet.com/partners/).

Code example:

use WebService::Careerjet;

# Create Perl interface to API
my $careerjet = WebService::Careerjet->new('en_GB', "<API_KEY>");

# Perform a search
my $result = $careerjet->query({
                                 'keywords'   => 'perl developer',
                                 'location'   => 'london',
                                 'user_ip'    => '11.22.33.44',
                                 'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0',
                                 'referrer'   => 'https://www.example.com/jobs/search?s=perl+developer&l=london',
                               });

# Go through results
if ($result->{'type'} eq 'JOBS') {
    print "Found ". $result->{'hits'}. " jobs\n";
    my $jobs = $result->{'jobs'};

    foreach my $j(@$jobs) {
      print "URL         :".$j->{'url'}."\n";
      print "TITLE       :".$j->{'title'}."\n";
      print "COMPANY     :".$j->{'company'}."\n";
      print "SALARY      :".$j->{'salary'}."\n";
      print "DATE        :".$j->{'date'}."\n";
      print "DESCRIPTION :".$j->{'description'}."\n";
      print "LOCATIONS   :".$j->{'locations'}."\n";
      print "\n";
    }
}

FUNCTIONS

new

Creates a Webservice::Careerjet API client object for a given UNIX locale and API key.

The API key is mandatory and is provided by Careerjet when you open a partner account (https://www.careerjet.com/partners/).

Each locale corresponds to an existing Careerjet site and determines which language job-related information is returned as well as which default location filter is used. For example, if your users are primarily Dutch-speaking Belgians use "nl_BE".

First two letters : ISO 639-1 alpha-2 language code

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Last two letters : ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

Usage: my $careerjet = WebService::Careerjet->new($locale, $api_key);

                             'location'   => 'london',
                             'user_ip'    => '11.22.33.44',
                             'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0',
                             'referrer'   => 'https://www.example.com/jobs/search?s=perl+developer&l=london',
                          });

# The result is a job list if the location is not ambiguous
if ($result->{'type'} eq 'JOBS') {
    print "Found ". $result->{'hits'}. " jobs\n";
    print "Total number of result pages: ". $result->{'pages'}. "\n";
    my $jobs = $result->{'jobs'};
    foreach my $j (@$jobs) {
        print "URL         :".$j->{'url'}."\n";
        print "TITLE       :".$j->{'title'}."\n";
        print "COMPANY     :".$j->{'company'}."\n";
        print "SALARY      :".$j->{'salary'}."\n";
        print "DATE        :".$j->{'date'}."\n";
        print "DESCRIPTION :".$j->{'description'}."\n";
        print "SITE        :".$j->{'site'}."\n";
        print "\n" ;
    }

}

# If the location is ambiguous, a list of suggested locations
# is returned
if ($result->{'type'} eq 'LOCATIONS') {
    print "Suggested locations:\n" ;
    my $locations = $result->{'solveLocations'};
    foreach my $l (@$locations) {
        print $l->{'name'}."\n" ; ## For end-user display
        ## Use $l->{'location_id'} when making next search call
        ## as 'location_id' parameter (see parameters below)
    }
}

Mandatory parameters:

    user_ip      :   IP address of the end-user to whom the search results will be displayed.

    user_agent   :   User agent of the end-user's browser.

    referrer     :   Web page that the user is currently viewing and that triggered this job search.

Options:

All options have default values and are not mandatory

    keywords     :   Keywords to match either title, content or company name of job offer
                     Examples: 'perl developer', 'ibm', 'software architect'
                     Default : none

    location     :   Location of requested job postings.
                     Examples: 'London' , 'Yorkshire', 'France' 
                     Default: country specified by country code

    sort         :   Type of sort. This can be:
                      'relevance'  - sorted by decreasing relevancy (default)
                      'date'       - sorted by decreasing date
                      'salary'     - sorted by decreasing salary

    start_num    :   Position of returned job postings within the entire result space.
                     This should be a least 1 but not more than the total number of job offers.
                     Default : 1

    pagesize     :   Number of returned results
                     Default : 20

    page         :   Page number of returned job postings within the entire result space.
                     This can be used instead of start_num. The minimum page number is 1.
                     The maximum number of pages is given by $result->{'pages'}
                     If this value is set, it overrides start_num.

    contract_type :  Selected contract type. The following codes can be used: 
                      'p'    - permanent

                      't'    - temporary
                      'i'    - training
                      'v'    - voluntary
                     Default: none (all contract types)
    
    work_hours :     Selected work hours. The following codes can be used:
