How it works

This workflow automates the job curation process by retrieving pending job search inputs from a spreadsheet, querying the JSearch API for relevant job listings, and writing the curated results back to another sheet. It is designed to streamline job discovery and reduce manual data entry.

Step-by-step

1. Trigger & Input

  • The workflow starts on a defined schedule (e.g., once per day).

  • It reads a row from the Job Scraper sheet where the status is marked as "Pending".

  • The selected row includes fields like Position and Location, which are used to build the search query.

2. Job Search & Processing

  • Sends a search request to the JSearch API using the Position and Location from the spreadsheet.

  • Parses the API response and extracts individual job listings.

  • Filters out empty, irrelevant, or invalid entries to ensure clean and relevant job data.

3. Output & Status Update

  • Writes valid job listings to the Job Listing output sheet with fields such as job title, company name, location, and more.

  • Updates the original row in the source sheet to mark it as Scraped, ensuring it will not be processed again in future runs.

Benefits

  • Reduces manual effort in job research and listing.

  • Ensures only valid, structured data is stored and used.

  • Prevents duplicate processing with automatic status updates.

  • Simple to expand by adding more job sources or filters.

n8n Workflow: Automate Job Search Curation with jSearch API and Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates the process of searching for jobs using the jSearch API, extracting relevant information, and curating the results into a Google Sheet. It's designed to streamline your job application process by regularly fetching new job postings and organizing them for review.

What it does

This workflow simplifies and automates the following steps:

  1. Scheduled Trigger: Initiates the job search process at regular intervals (e.g., daily, hourly).
  2. JSearch API Request: Makes an HTTP request to the jSearch API to fetch job postings based on predefined criteria.
  3. Code for Data Processing: Processes the raw data received from the jSearch API. This step likely extracts key job details, standardizes formats, or performs other transformations.
  4. Filter for New Jobs: Filters the processed job postings to identify only new or relevant entries, preventing duplicate additions to your spreadsheet.
  5. Google Sheets Integration: Appends the curated job details to a specified Google Sheet, creating a centralized database of potential job opportunities.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • jSearch API Key: An API key for the jSearch API to fetch job postings.
  • Google Account: A Google account with access to Google Sheets.
  • Google Sheets Credential: An n8n credential configured for Google Sheets.
  • HTTP Request Credential (Optional): If the jSearch API requires authentication beyond a simple API key in the URL, an HTTP Request credential might be needed.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your Google Sheets credential.
    • Configure the HTTP Request node with your jSearch API Key and any necessary authentication details.
  3. Customize Nodes:
    • Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule to your preferred frequency for checking new jobs.
    • HTTP Request: Modify the jSearch API request to include your desired search parameters (e.g., keywords, location, job type).
    • Code: Review and adjust the JavaScript code if you need different data transformations or extractions from the API response.
    • Filter: Customize the filter conditions to match your criteria for identifying new or relevant job postings.
    • Google Sheets: Specify the Google Sheet ID and sheet name where you want the job data to be appended. Ensure the column headers in your sheet match the data being sent from the workflow.
  4. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start automating your job search curation.

It: Fetches the latest tender publications from the TenderNed API Retrieves detailed information in both XML and JSON formats for each tender Parses and extracts key information like organization names, titles, descriptions, and reference numbers Filters results based on your custom criteria Stores the data in a database for easy querying and analysis Setup Instructions This template comes with sticky notes providing step-by-step instructions in Dutch and various query options you can customize. Prerequisites TenderNed API Access - Register at TenderNed for API credentials Configuration Steps Set up TenderNed credentials: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials with your TenderNed API username and password Apply these credentials to the three HTTP Request nodes: "Tenderned Publicaties" "Haal XML Details" "Haal JSON Details" Customize filters: Modify the "Filter op ..." node to match your specific requirements Examples: specific organizations, contract values, regions, etc. How It Works Step 1: Trigger The workflow can be triggered either manually for testing or automatically on a daily schedule. Step 2: Fetch Publications Makes an API call to TenderNed to retrieve a list of recent publications (up to 100 per request). Step 3: Process & Split Extracts the tender array from the response and splits it into individual items for processing. Step 4: Fetch Details For each tender, the workflow makes two parallel API calls: XML endpoint - Retrieves the complete tender documentation in XML format JSON endpoint - Fetches metadata including reference numbers and keywords Step 5: Parse & Merge Parses the XML data and merges it with the JSON metadata and batch information into a single data structure. Step 6: Extract Fields Maps the raw API data to clean, structured fields including: Publication ID and date Organization name Tender title and description Reference numbers (kenmerk, TED number) Step 7: Filter Applies your custom filter criteria to focus on relevant tenders only. Step 8: Store Inserts the processed data into your database for storage and future analysis. Customization Tips Modify API Parameters In the "Tenderned Publicaties" node, you can adjust: offset: Starting position for pagination size: Number of results per request (max 100) Add query parameters for date ranges, status filters, etc. Add More Fields Extend the "Splits Alle Velden" node to extract additional fields from the XML/JSON data, such as: Contract value estimates Deadline dates CPV codes (procurement classification) Contact information Integrate Notifications Add a Slack, Email, or Discord node after the filter to get notified about new matching tenders. Incremental Updates Modify the workflow to only fetch new tenders by: Storing the last execution timestamp Adding date filters to the API query Only processing publications newer than the last run Troubleshooting No data returned? Verify your TenderNed API credentials are correct Check that you have setup youre filter proper Need help setting this up or interested in a complete tender analysis solution?
