Rindeed¶ ↑

Rindeed is something like a wrapper around Indeed Web Services (XML interface).

You can find more info about Indeed Web Services at:

http://www.indeed.com/jsp/apiinfo.jsp
http://www.indeed.com/jsp/xmlsample.jsp

Rindeed depends on hpricot github.com/why/hpricot and will_paginate github.com/mislav/will_paginate

Installation¶ ↑

$ ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/vlado/rindeed.git

After install you must set your publisher id and you can also set some default options that will be used in all searches. Good place to place this could be ApplicationController

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  Rindeed.publisher_id = "yourpublisherid"
  Rindeed.default_options(:chnl => "mysite", :limit => 30)
end

Examples¶ ↑

Simple search¶ ↑

ExampleController < ActionController::Base

  def list_ruby_jobs_in_ny_area
    @jobs = Rindeed.find("ruby", "ny")
  end

  def indeed_search
    @jobs = Rindeed.find(params[:what], params[:where], :sort => "date", :limit => 20)
  end

end

Pagination¶ ↑

Pagination is implemented using mislav's will_paginate, and it should be pretty straightforward

First call pagination in your controller

ExampleController < ActionController::Base

  def indeed_search
    @jobs = Rindeed.paginate(params[:what], params[:where], :page => params[:page] || 1)
  end

end

and then you can do this in your view

<h2>My jobs from Indeed</h2>

<%= will_paginate @jobs %>

<% for job in @jobs %>
  <%= job[:jobtitle] %>
<% end %>
