🧠 What This Script Does:

  • Iterates through 5 categories: Mechanical, Electrical, Core, IT, ITES

  • Searches each category on Indeed India

  • Pulls:

    • Job Title

    • Company

    • Skills / Job Description Snippet


🛠 Setup:

Install required libraries:

bash
pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Then run the script using:

bash
python indeed_multi_category_scraper.py

📦 Optional Upgrades:

  • Export to Excel: Use pandas.DataFrame and .to_excel()

  • Create bar charts or word clouds of skills

  • Filter by date posted, experience level, or remote/in-office


Would you like me to:

  • Add CSV/Excel export?

  • Extract specific tools/software (e.g., AutoCAD, SAP, Python)?

  • Visualize results (charts/word clouds)?

 Here's the upgraded version of the script with Excel export using pandas. For each job category (Mechanical, Electrical, Core, IT, ITES), the extracted jobs will be saved to separate sheets in a single Excel file.

Powerful end-to-end job market monitoring app. Here's how we'll break it down and I'll provide everything you need:


✅ Part 1: GUI Version for Non-Technical Users

We'll use Tkinter to create a simple interface:

  • Select job categories

  • Set number of pages

  • Click “Run” to generate Excel + Word Clouds

🪟 GUI Python Script (Tkinter)


import tkinter as tk from tkinter import messagebox from tkinter import ttk import threading from job_scraper_core import run_scraper # <-- we’ll modularize the scraper into this def start_scraping(): selected = [k for k, v in categories.items() if v.get()] if not selected: messagebox.showwarning("Select a category", "Please select at least one job category.") return pages = int(pages_var.get()) threading.Thread(target=run_scraper, args=(selected, pages), daemon=True).start() messagebox.showinfo("Running", f"Scraping started for: {', '.join(selected)}") root = tk.Tk() root.title("India Job Scraper Tool") root.geometry("400x300") categories = { "Mechanical": tk.BooleanVar(), "Electrical": tk.BooleanVar(), "Core": tk.BooleanVar(), "IT": tk.BooleanVar(), "ITES": tk.BooleanVar() } tk.Label(root, text="Select Job Categories").pack(pady=10) for cat, var in categories.items(): tk.Checkbutton(root, text=cat, variable=var).pack(anchor="w", padx=30) tk.Label(root, text="Pages per Category").pack(pady=5) pages_var = tk.StringVar(value="2") ttk.Combobox(root, textvariable=pages_var, values=[str(i) for i in range(1, 6)]).pack() tk.Button(root, text="Run Scraper", command=start_scraping, bg="green", fg="white").pack(pady=20) root.mainloop()

📦 Split the scraper logic into a file like job_scraper_core.py, and expose a function like:


def run_scraper(selected_categories, pages): # call the existing scrape+excel+wordcloud logic here

✅ Part 2: Scheduling – Weekly Automation

🕑 Option A: Linux/macOS – cron

  1. Edit your crontab:

crontab -e
  1. Add a line to run the script every Monday at 9am:

0 9 * * 1 /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/job_scraper.py

📌 Make sure paths to Python and the script are correct.


🕑 Option B: Windows – Task Scheduler

  1. Open Task Scheduler

  2. Create a new task:

    • Trigger: Weekly (e.g., Monday 9:00 AM)

    • Action: Start a program

      • Program: python

      • Arguments: C:\path\to\job_scraper.py

📌 Add logging to a file to track results.


✅ Part 3: Email Report Automation

Use smtplib to send the Excel file and Word Clouds to your inbox.

📤 Email Script (Gmail example)

import smtplib
import ssl from email.message import EmailMessage from pathlib import Path def send_email_report(recipient, subject, body, attachments): sender_email = "your-email@gmail.com" app_password = "your-app-password" # Use App Password, not your main password! msg = EmailMessage() msg["From"] = sender_email msg["To"] = recipient msg["Subject"] = subject msg.set_content(body) for file_path in attachments: file = Path(file_path) msg.add_attachment(file.read_bytes(), maintype="application", subtype="octet-stream", filename=file.name) context = ssl.create_default_context() with smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465, context=context) as server: server.login(sender_email, app_password) server.send_message(msg) print("📧 Email sent successfully.") # Example usage: send_email_report( recipient="you@example.com", subject="Weekly Job Scraper Report", body="Please find attached the weekly job data and skill clouds.", attachments=[ "job_scraper_output/job_roles_skills_20250517.xlsx", "job_scraper_output/IT_wordcloud.png" ] )

Package this full job market scraping and analytics tool into a ready-to-run folder, even for non-programmers.


✅ 📁 Folder Structure – JobMarketScraper

🔧 1. job_scraper_core.py – Core Scraper Logic

This contains the logic we discussed: scraping, Excel export, word cloud generation, and trend tracking.

You’ve already seen this – I’ll prepare it to be modular and callable from GUI or CLI.


🪟 2. gui_launcher.py – Tkinter GUI

Runs a window where users select categories, pages, and click "Run Scraper".


📤 3. email_report.py – Email Automation

Sends the Excel file + word clouds to a specified email address using SMTP (e.g., Gmail App Password).


⚙️ 4. config.py – Configuration File

A simple Python config file to edit:

# config.py
job_categories = { "Mechanical": "mechanical engineer", "Electrical": "electrical engineer", "Core": "production engineer", "IT": "software engineer", "ITES": "bpo" } EMAIL = { "sender": "your_email@gmail.com", "password": "your_app_password", "receiver": "receiver@example.com" }

✅ 6. README.md – Instructions

Sample:

yaml

# JobMarketScraper – India Job Trends Tool ### 🔧 Setup 1. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt 2. Run the GUI: python gui_launcher.py 3. Outputs will be saved in `job_scraper_output/` 4. To email reports, run: python email_report.py Edit `config.py` to change job categories or email settings.

📦 Packaging Options

Option A: Run as Folder

Just zip the folder and share. User must have Python installed:

  • Windows: install Python, double-click gui_launcher.py

  • Linux/Mac: python3 gui_launcher.py

Option B: One-click .exe for GUI

With PyInstaller:

bash

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed gui_launcher.py

This creates dist/gui_launcher.exe – no terminal shown, just the GUI.


Complete ready-to-run folder structure and all code files you need to set up the entire system — scraper, GUI, email, configs — ready to launch on any machine with Python installed.

🧠 What This Script Does:

  • Iterates through 5 categories: Mechanical, Electrical, Core, IT, ITES

  • Searches each category on Indeed India

  • Pulls:

    • Job Title

    • Company

    • Skills / Job Description Snippet


🛠 Setup:

Install required libraries:

bash
pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Then run the script using:

bash
python indeed_multi_category_scraper.py

📦 Optional Upgrades:

  • Export to Excel: Use pandas.DataFrame and .to_excel()

  • Create bar charts or word clouds of skills

  • Filter by date posted, experience level, or remote/in-office


Here's the upgraded version of the script with Excel export using pandas. For each job category (Mechanical, Electrical, Core, IT, ITES), the extracted jobs will be saved to separate sheets in a single Excel file.


✅ Python Script – Multi-Category Job Scraper with Excel Export

python

Would you like:

  • A GUI version for non-technical users?

  • Scheduling (e.g. weekly auto-run with cron or Task Scheduler)?

  • Email report automation?

Let me know and I’ll help you set that up too.

You said:
can you add A GUI version for non-technical users? Scheduling (e.g. weekly auto-run with cron or Task Scheduler)? Email report automation
ChatGPT said:

Absolutely — you’re moving toward a powerful end-to-end job market monitoring app. Here's how we'll break it down and I'll provide everything you need:


✅ Part 1: GUI Version for Non-Technical Users

We'll use Tkinter to create a simple interface:

  • Select job categories

  • Set number of pages

  • Click “Run” to generate Excel + Word Clouds

🪟 GUI Python Script (Tkinter)

python
import tkinter as tk from tkinter import messagebox from tkinter import ttk import threading from job_scraper_core import run_scraper # <-- we’ll modularize the scraper into this def start_scraping(): selected = [k for k, v in categories.items() if v.get()] if not selected: messagebox.showwarning("Select a category", "Please select at least one job category.") return pages = int(pages_var.get()) threading.Thread(target=run_scraper, args=(selected, pages), daemon=True).start() messagebox.showinfo("Running", f"Scraping started for: {', '.join(selected)}") root = tk.Tk() root.title("India Job Scraper Tool") root.geometry("400x300") categories = { "Mechanical": tk.BooleanVar(), "Electrical": tk.BooleanVar(), "Core": tk.BooleanVar(), "IT": tk.BooleanVar(), "ITES": tk.BooleanVar() } tk.Label(root, text="Select Job Categories").pack(pady=10) for cat, var in categories.items(): tk.Checkbutton(root, text=cat, variable=var).pack(anchor="w", padx=30) tk.Label(root, text="Pages per Category").pack(pady=5) pages_var = tk.StringVar(value="2") ttk.Combobox(root, textvariable=pages_var, values=[str(i) for i in range(1, 6)]).pack() tk.Button(root, text="Run Scraper", command=start_scraping, bg="green", fg="white").pack(pady=20) root.mainloop()

📦 Split the scraper logic into a file like job_scraper_core.py, and expose a function like:

python

def run_scraper(selected_categories, pages): # call the existing scrape+excel+wordcloud logic here

✅ Part 2: Scheduling – Weekly Automation

🕑 Option A: Linux/macOS – cron

  1. Edit your crontab:

bash

crontab -e
  1. Add a line to run the script every Monday at 9am:

bash

0 9 * * 1 /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/job_scraper.py

📌 Make sure paths to Python and the script are correct.


🕑 Option B: Windows – Task Scheduler

  1. Open Task Scheduler

  2. Create a new task:

    • Trigger: Weekly (e.g., Monday 9:00 AM)

    • Action: Start a program

      • Program: python

      • Arguments: C:\path\to\job_scraper.py

📌 Add logging to a file to track results.


✅ Part 3: Email Report Automation

Use smtplib to send the Excel file and Word Clouds to your inbox.

📤 Email Script (Gmail example)

python

import smtplib import ssl from email.message import EmailMessage from pathlib import Path def send_email_report(recipient, subject, body, attachments): sender_email = "your-email@gmail.com" app_password = "your-app-password" # Use App Password, not your main password! msg = EmailMessage() msg["From"] = sender_email msg["To"] = recipient msg["Subject"] = subject msg.set_content(body) for file_path in attachments: file = Path(file_path) msg.add_attachment(file.read_bytes(), maintype="application", subtype="octet-stream", filename=file.name) context = ssl.create_default_context() with smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465, context=context) as server: server.login(sender_email, app_password) server.send_message(msg) print("📧 Email sent successfully.") # Example usage: send_email_report( recipient="you@example.com", subject="Weekly Job Scraper Report", body="Please find attached the weekly job data and skill clouds.", attachments=[ "job_scraper_output/job_roles_skills_20250517.xlsx", "job_scraper_output/IT_wordcloud.png" ] )

✅ Next Steps

Would you like me to:

  • Package this whole system as a ready-to-run folder?

  • Generate a .exe for the GUI version (using pyinstaller)?

  • Automate the email + scraping + scheduling as one CLI tool?

Let me know how much you'd like to automate or if you'd like the full packaged version zipped up.

You said:
can you Package this whole system as a ready-to-run folder
ChatGPT said:

Yes! Here's exactly how you can package this full job market scraping and analytics tool into a ready-to-run folder, even for non-programmers.


✅ 📁 Folder Structure – JobMarketScraper


JobMarketScraper/ │ ├── gui_launcher.py # GUI for non-technical users (Tkinter) ├── job_scraper_core.py # Core logic (scraping, Excel, wordcloud) ├── email_report.py # Email automation script ├── requirements.txt # All required packages ├── config.py # Config for categories, email, etc. ├── job_scraper_output/ # Auto-generated: Excel, word clouds, trends │ └── README.md # Instructions to run

🔧 1. job_scraper_core.py – Core Scraper Logic

This contains the logic we discussed: scraping, Excel export, word cloud generation, and trend tracking.

You’ve already seen this – I’ll prepare it to be modular and callable from GUI or CLI.


🪟 2. gui_launcher.py – Tkinter GUI

Runs a window where users select categories, pages, and click "Run Scraper".


📤 3. email_report.py – Email Automation

Sends the Excel file + word clouds to a specified email address using SMTP (e.g., Gmail App Password).


⚙️ 4. config.py – Configuration File

A simple Python config file to edit:

# config.py
job_categories = { "Mechanical": "mechanical engineer", "Electrical": "electrical engineer", "Core": "production engineer", "IT": "software engineer", "ITES": "bpo" } EMAIL = { "sender": "your_email@gmail.com", "password": "your_app_password", "receiver": "receiver@example.com" }

📦 5. requirements.txt



requests beautifulsoup4 pandas xlsxwriter wordcloud matplotlib

✅ 6. README.md – Instructions

Sample:

yaml

# JobMarketScraper – India Job Trends Tool ### 🔧 Setup 1. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt 2. Run the GUI: python gui_launcher.py 3. Outputs will be saved in `job_scraper_output/` 4. To email reports, run: python email_report.py Edit `config.py` to change job categories or email settings.

📦 Packaging Options

Option A: Run as Folder

Just zip the folder and share. User must have Python installed:

  • Windows: install Python, double-click gui_launcher.py

  • Linux/Mac: python3 gui_launcher.py

Option B: One-click .exe for GUI

With PyInstaller:

bash

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed gui_launcher.py

This creates dist/gui_launcher.exe – no terminal shown, just the GUI.


🧩 

Got it! Here’s the complete ready-to-run folder structure and all code files you need to set up the entire system — scraper, GUI, email, configs — ready to launch on any machine with Python installed.
