Dataify Indeed Companies Info

Collect Indeed company information through Dataify Scraper API. Use when the user asks to gather, scrape, crawl, fetch, extract, or collect Indeed company/co...

Use this skill to create Indeed company information collection tasks through Dataify's builder endpoint.

Required Workflow

1. Identify the collection mode from the user's request.
   • Use indeed_companies-info_by-company-list-url when the user provides or asks to use an Indeed company list URL.
   • Use indeed_companies-info_by-keyword when the user provides a company keyword.
   • Use indeed_companies-info_by-industry-and-state when the user provides an Indeed industry and optional region/state.
   • Use indeed_companies-info_by-company-url when the user provides a specific Indeed company URL.
   • If the mode cannot be inferred, ask which mode to use before showing the parameter table.
2. Check the local Python runtime before calling scripts. Prefer python; use python3 if that is the available Python command. Require Python 3 or newer. Do not use version-specific commands such as py -3.10.
3. Ask whether the user wants to collect multiple parameter sets. If yes, collect multiple spider_parameters objects for the same spider ID. If the user already supplied multiple values, treat that as a multiple-set request.
4. Before every real API call, show a Markdown confirmation table with the exact parameters that will be submitted. The table must use these columns: Parameter, Current value, Default value, Required, Description.
5. When the selected mode has dropdown fields, show every available dropdown value in Markdown tables with exactly these columns: Label, Value. Use scripts/preview_params.py --dropdown industry and scripts/preview_params.py --dropdown state to generate complete tables.
6. Ask the user whether any value should be changed. Do not call the API until the user explicitly confirms the table.
7. Check for the Dataify API token only after parameter confirmation. Prefer a token explicitly provided by the user, then DATAIFY_API_TOKEN from the environment.
8. If no token is available, tell the user: Missing Dataify API token. Provide a token, or log in/register at Dataify If you already have one, open Dataify and copy the API TOKEN from the top-right area.
9. If the user provides a token and DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is not already saved locally, ask whether to save it as DATAIFY_API_TOKEN. Save it only after explicit consent and never echo the token back.
10. After the API call, report the collection task ID and status. Look for common response fields such as task_id, taskId, id, status, data.task_id, data.id, or data.status. Then remind the user to view task details in the official dashboard: Dataify

Parameter Preview

Use the preview helper whenever possible:

bash

python scripts/preview_params.py --tool keyword --keyword openai
python scripts/preview_params.py --tool company-list-url
python scripts/preview_params.py --tool industry-and-state --industry "Accounting & Tax" --state "Alabama - 60 companies"
python scripts/preview_params.py --tool company-url --company-url "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Allstate-Insurance"

For multiple parameter sets, pass the exact JSON array:

bash

python scripts/preview_params.py --tool keyword --parameters-json '[{"keyword":"openai"},{"keyword":"anthropic"}]'

API Call

Use the call helper after confirmation and token handling:

bash

python scripts/indeed_companies_info.py --tool keyword --keyword openai
python scripts/indeed_companies_info.py --tool keyword --parameters-json '[{"keyword":"openai"},{"keyword":"anthropic"}]'
python scripts/indeed_companies_info.py --tool industry-and-state --industry "Accounting & Tax" --state "Alabama - 60 companies"

If the token was provided in the conversation instead of the environment, pass it with --token and do not expose it in user-facing output:

bash

python scripts/indeed_companies_info.py --token "USER_TOKEN" --tool company-url --company-url "https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Allstate-Insurance"
