Wuzzuf IT Jobs Visualization

Data Collection and visualization for jobs offered under the IT section on Wuzzuf for educational and statistical purposes.

DISCLAIMER: Wuzzuf doesn't offer an open API to obtain the required data for the visualization and as such a web scraper with a delay between requests was used to obtain the data

Visualization

You can view the whole visualization on Tableau public

If there's a mistake in the filtering in the Visualization or any other feedback please contact me.

Snippets

Download Data

You can download previously collected data from this drive. It should be updated every month (or a couple of month) so check back from time to time.

Side Note: if you are going to combine multiple zip files keep in mind that there might be an overlap because a job offer might have lasted for longer than a month.

Installation

Don't forget to install the required modules. (unless ofcourse you are going to use docker)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To obtain the data. Run the python module as follows:

Note that because of the delay added between requests the script will take a long time to gather the data. Please be responsible and don't remove the delay.

You can also download some older data in the Download Data Section.

py -m Wuzzuf_DataCollection

There are also command args available which you can view with:

$ py -m Wuzzuf_DataCollection --help
