GitHub BR Tech Jobs Scraper

Scrapes Brazilian developer job boards from GitHub Issues across multiple community-curated repos (frontendbr/vagas, backend-br/vagas, react-brasil/vagas, python-brasil/vagas, and others). Parses free-text issue bodies into structured job records with location, tech stack, seniority, and employment type.

What it collects

Each record contains:

Field Description
issue_number GitHub issue number
title Raw issue title
state open or closed
poster_login GitHub username of the poster
poster_avatar_url Avatar URL
body_markdown Full job post body (markdown)
parsed_role_title Role title extracted from the title
parsed_company Company name if detectable
parsed_location Location string (e.g. remoto, sao-paulo)
parsed_is_remote true if the role is remote
parsed_employment_type clt, pj, freelance, or estagio
parsed_seniority junior, pleno, senior, or especialista
parsed_tech_stack Comma-separated tech keywords from title + body
labels Comma-separated GitHub labels
comment_count Number of comments
reactions_total Total reactions
created_at ISO 8601 creation timestamp
updated_at ISO 8601 last update timestamp
closed_at ISO 8601 close timestamp (if applicable)
source_url GitHub issue URL
source_repo Source repository (e.g. frontendbr/vagas)

Input

Parameter Type Default Description
repos array ["frontendbr/vagas","backend-br/vagas","react-brasil/vagas","python-brasil/vagas"] GitHub owner/repo repos to scrape
state string open Issue state: open, closed, or all
githubToken string — Optional GitHub Personal Access Token for 5,000 req/hr rate (vs 60/hr unauthenticated)
maxItems integer — Maximum total records across all repos (0 = unlimited)

Getting a GitHub token

No special scopes are needed for public repos. Create a classic token at github.com/settings/tokens with no permissions selected.

Supported repos

Any public GitHub repo that uses GitHub Issues as a job board works. Community repos known to follow this pattern:

  • frontendbr/vagas — Brazilian front-end jobs (~8k open issues)
  • backend-br/vagas — Brazilian back-end jobs
  • react-brasil/vagas — React/React Native jobs
  • python-brasil/vagas — Python jobs
  • cybersecurity-br/vagas — Cybersecurity jobs

Rate limits

Mode Limit
Unauthenticated 60 requests/hr per IP
Authenticated (GitHub PAT) 5,000 requests/hr

For a default run of a few hundred records, unauthenticated access is sufficient. For full historical scrapes across many repos, provide a GitHub PAT.

Notes

  • Pull requests are automatically filtered out (they appear in the GitHub Issues API response).
  • The body parser follows community title conventions: [CLT][Remoto] Role na Company.
  • Tech stack keywords are matched against a curated list of ~60 common BR dev technologies.
