Create a RSS Feed From An Indeed Job Search Query using Liferea

It’s been awhile since I last looked at Indeed.com, I’m happy to report RSS feeds still exist! Though they don’t promote them.

Create a RSS Feed From the Search URL

Perform a search on their platform and copy the URL

https://www.indeed.com/q-WordPress-l-San-Dimas,-CA-jobs.html

replace www with rss and use that URL in creating a new Liferea feed

https://rss.indeed.com/rss?q=WordPress&l=San+Dimas%2C+CA

Adding a new subscription to liferea
Paste the URL into a new subscription feed. It will automatically convert characters if needed.

That’s it. note that q- is for query and l- is for location. I’m sure there are other flags that can be used. I used this trick back in 2009 and it still works today. Additional tips can be found on Reddit.
