The Problem
Building a job aggregator that pulls from real employer career pages requires discovery, extraction, deduplication, and ranking. Most builders stitch 3-4 vendors and spend weeks on the data layer instead of the ranking product.
The Scavio Solution
Scavio (dorked search for discovery + /extract for career pages) + LLM for structured parsing + Postgres for dedupe/ranking. The data layer ships in a weekend; product effort goes into ranking quality.
Before
Indeed Publisher API (gated) + LinkedIn scraping (TOS violation risk) + per-employer Greenhouse APIs + dedupe code = weeks of integration work before any ranking.
After
Scavio for discovery + extract + LLM for parsing = data layer in a weekend, freeing time for the ranking product (the actual differentiator).
Who It Is For
Builders shipping job-aggregator products, recruiting agencies productizing, indie hackers building HiringCafe alternatives.
Key Benefits
- Discovery + extract under one Scavio key
- Per-listing data cost ~$0.009
- TOS-safe (uses sanctioned SERP)
- LLM-flexible parsing (handles ATS variations)
- Stack cost ~$30 + LLM tokens
Python Example
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
DORKS = ['site:{d}/careers', 'site:jobs.lever.co/{d}', 'site:boards.greenhouse.io/{d}']
def pull(employer_domain):
urls = []
for tpl in DORKS:
q = tpl.format(d=employer_domain.replace('.com',''))
r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': q}).json()
urls.extend(o['link'] for o in r.get('organic_results', [])[:5])
