How Can We Help?
Configure SourceStack API
SourceStack is a premium data-as-a-Service API, that provides access to thousands of jobs from all over the world. Go Fetch Jobs customers get a 1.000 jobs free credit on SourceStack. All jobs are provided with rich metadata, including full HTML job descriptions.
Before reading this article please make sure you’ve read the support article for manually Importing jobs in advanced mode.
Makes sure you also check SourceStack’s Go Fetch Jobs integration page.
Setup general API settings for SourceStack
To start using SourceStack’s API, you’ll first need to get an API key.
Go to Settings > API Providers > SourceStack, and add your API key on the respective field. Hit Save and you’re ready to start backfilling your job board.
From the Settings page you can optionally configure default values, that are applied to every import, like Country, City, Categories, etc.
Any change that you do on these settings will be applied for ALL jobs imported for the provider.
Most of the settings are also available during the import but they will only apply to each single import, and not to ALL imported jobs.
Import Jobs from API
After setting SourceStack’s default settings, you are ready to start importing jobs from that source.
Head over to the Import Jobs page and select SourceStack from the list of pre-set providers. Pick it from the list of API’s, or type in the provider name.
At this point you’ll be presented with all the available filters for the API, on a friendly format.
Use the filters to target specific countries, job types, etc. The filters available will be similar to the query builder available on SourceStack’s website.
When you’re happy with your settings, you just need to click Preview Results. Go Fetch Jobs will connect to the provider, pull a list of jobs that match all your criteria, and display a sample job.
At this point you can also map each of the fields provided by the API to any custom fields you use. You can leave the defaults mappings if you don’t know what each custom field means.
Import Jobs
After you get a list of the jobs that match your criteria, you’re ready to add them to your job board. To do this, just scroll down to the Save group, where you’ll find the Go Fetch Jobs! button.
If you just want to do an one-off import of jobs, you just need to hit Import!. If you want to keep this import as a template, you can specify a template name and save it. You can then use the template on an automated schedule, or just load it later to do new manually import.
If you decide to save the import as a schedule, you’ll be given the option to automatically create the schedule, right from the import page. The schedule will be available for further editing, on the Schedules page.
That’s it. This is all you need to start pulling jobs from SourceStack!
