# Unofficial MCF Jobs Python Wrapper
## Overview
This is a Python script designed for scraping job postings from the MyCareersFuture (MCF) API. It retrieves data about job listings and outputs the information to a CSV file.
## Features
- Retrieves job postings from the MCF API.
- Supports specifying the number of job postings to scrape.
- Outputs the scraped data to a CSV file for easy analysis and storage.
- Includes error handling to ensure robust scraping performance.
## Requirements
- Python 3
- `requests` library
- `tqdm` library
## Installation
Before running the script, ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system. You also need to install the required libraries. You can install these using pip:
```bash
pip install requests tqdm
```
## Usage
To use the script, navigate to the directory containing `pull_mcf_jobs.py` and run it from the command line. You need to specify the number of job postings you want to scrape using the -n argument.
```bash
python pull_mcf_jobs.py -n
```
For example, to scrape 500 job postings, use:
```bash
python pull_mcf_jobs.py -n 500
```
## Help
If you need to see usage instructions, run:
```bash
python pull_mcf_jobs.py -h
```
## Output
The script outputs the scraped data to a CSV file named mcf_jobs.csv in the current directory.
## Note
This script adds a delay between requests to the API to avoid hitting the rate limiter.
