IpsoJobs

We’ve just launched a new API for all the developers/geocoders around de world.

As you may know Ipsojobs.com is a global job bank, fast easy and free for everybody !

The new API allows you to locate job offers near you, you only need to give us your latitude and longitude and we will return you a nice XML containing the nearest Ipsojobs cities and the last job postings in that city (if any).

You can see a couple of examples:
Jobs near Barcelona
Jobs near Madrid

As you may see in the examples the XML structure is quite simple:

<cities>
<city>
<home>URL of the Ipsojobs city home</home>
<rss> URL of the RSS of that city</rss>
<title>Title of the city, for example “Badalona, Spain”</title>
<current_posts>Number of posts active in that city</current_posts>
<lat>Latitude of the city</lat>
<lng>Longitud of the city</lng>
<posts>
<post>
<title>Title of the job posting</title>
<urlnice>URL of the job posting</urlnice>
</post>
…
</posts>
</city>
…
</cities>

You can use the API, just pointing to the URL http://www.ipsojobs.com/api/nearby.php with two parameters, lat and lng, as in this example.

http://www.ipsojobs.com/api/nearby.php?lat=40.416706&lng=-3.703270

If you think this API is nonsense, we’ve already our FIRST IMPLEMENTATION, check this site:

This is an organization of “Language Schools” all around Spain, if you search in the top box, look for “Barcelona” for example, you will see all the “Official Language Schools in that area”, then if you click on one of them, you will see three tabs, the first are the basic info of the School, but the second contains a Panoramio’s picture integration and the Jobs near that location with the help of the API we’ve just launched, see the picture.

Nice, uh ?

Thanks to Raúl for the idea and the first integration !
