Web Scraping Project Description

**Objective:**
The aim of this project is to scrape job postings from the Wuzzuf website to gather
insights about job trends, skills in demand, and company activity. The extracted
data can be used for analysis, visualization, or machine learning purposes.

**Key Features:**
1. **Job Details Extraction:**
- Job titles
- Company names
- Job locations (city/region)
- Post dates (e.g., "posted X days ago")
- Employment type (e.g., full-time, part-time)
- Job categories/industries
- Required skills

2. **Company Insights:**
- Number of job postings per company
- Top hiring companies in a specific period or sector

3. **Skill Analysis:**
- Most requested skills by industry
- Trending technologies or certifications

4. **Job Market Trends:**


- Distribution of jobs by location
- Job roles in high demand
- Comparison of full-time vs. part-time roles

**Project Requirements:**

**1. Tools and Libraries:**


- **Programming Language:** Python
- **Libraries:**
- `BeautifulSoup` or `Scrapy` for scraping
- `Selenium` (if JavaScript rendering is needed)
- `Pandas` for data manipulation
- `Matplotlib`/`Seaborn` for data visualization (optional)

#### **2. Technical Requirements:**


- Respect the website's **robots.txt** policy to ensure ethical scraping.
- Handle pagination to extract jobs from multiple pages.
- Extract data efficiently using proper selectors or XPath queries.
- Avoid IP bans by implementing delay mechanisms or using proxies.

#### **3. Output Requirements:**


- **Raw Data:** Store data in CSV or JSON format with structured columns.
- Example columns: `Job Title`, `Company`, `Location`, `Skills`, `Date Posted`,
etc.
- **Data Cleaning:** Handle duplicates, missing values, or inconsistent data
formats.
- **Insights Dashboard (Optional):**
- Visualize hiring trends and skill distributions using Python libraries or tools
like Tableau.

**Steps to Execute the Project:**

1. **Understand the Website Structure:**


- Analyze the HTML structure of Wuzzuf job listing pages.
- Identify relevant tags or classes for job data extraction.

2. **Set Up the Scraper:**


- Write scripts using `requests` or `Selenium` to fetch page content.
- Parse the content using `BeautifulSoup` or another parsing library.

3. **Implement Data Extraction Logic:**


- Extract relevant fields (e.g., title, skills) using CSS selectors or XPath.
- Handle multiple pages by automating navigation.

4. **Store and Process Data:**


- Save raw data to CSV or JSON.
- Clean and preprocess the data for analysis.

5. **Analyze and Visualize Insights (Optional):**


- Use Python or BI tools to derive insights from the scraped data.
- Focus on trends in hiring, skills, and industries.
