The Problem

Job seekers want automated job search pipelines but cannot code. n8n provides visual workflow automation but has no built-in job search node. Users try to connect to job boards via HTTP nodes but struggle with authentication, pagination, and parsing different job site formats.

The Scavio Solution

Use Scavio's search API as an HTTP node in n8n to search Google for job listings. The structured JSON response maps directly to n8n's data model. Filter by location, date, and keywords. Send matches to Slack, email, or a spreadsheet. No code required beyond configuring the HTTP node.

Before

Job seeker manually searches 5 job boards daily. Spends 2 hours reviewing listings. Misses new postings. No systematic tracking.

After

n8n workflow searches Google for jobs hourly via Scavio. New matches sent to Slack. Job seeker reviews only new, relevant listings. 10 minutes/day.

Who It Is For

Job seekers and recruiters using n8n who want to automate job search monitoring without writing custom code.

Key Benefits

  • Zero custom code required in n8n
  • Scavio HTTP node replaces 5 job board integrations
  • Hourly automated searches catch new postings fast
  • Structured JSON maps directly to n8n data model
  • 250 free credits/month covers personal job search

Python Example

Python
import requests, os, json

API_KEY = os.environ["SCAVIO_API_KEY"]
H = {"x-api-key": API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json"}

def search_jobs(role: str, location: str) -> list:
    """Search Google for job listings via Scavio (same call n8n HTTP node makes)."""
    query = f"{role} jobs {location} 2026"
    resp = requests.post(
        "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
        headers=H,
        json={"query": query, "country_code": "us"},
        timeout=10,
    )
    data = resp.json()
    jobs = []
    for r in data.get("organic_results", []):
        title = r.get("title", "")
        if any(kw in title.lower() for kw in ["job", "hiring", "career", "position", "apply"]):
            jobs.append({"title": title, "url": r.get("link", ""), "snippet": r.get("snippet", "")})
    return jobs

# Same logic runs in n8n as an HTTP Request node
results = search_jobs("python developer", "remote")
for j in results[:5]:
    print(f"{j['title']}: {j['url']}")

JavaScript Example

JavaScript
const H = {'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'};

async function searchJobs(role, location) {
  const r = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {method:'POST', headers:H, body:JSON.stringify({query:role+' jobs '+location+' 2026', country_code:'us'})});
  const d = await r.json();
  const keywords = ['job','hiring','career','position','apply'];
  return (d.organic_results||[]).filter(r=>keywords.some(k=>(r.title||'').toLowerCase().includes(k))).map(r=>({title:r.title, url:r.link, snippet:r.snippet}));
}

const jobs = await searchJobs('python developer', 'remote');
for (const j of jobs.slice(0,5)) console.log(j.title+': '+j.url);
