Building a Python ETL Pipeline for LinkedIn Job Data
For this project, I built a Python-based ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline that fetches data from a web API, processes it, and loads it into a local SQLite database.
Using the Bright Data scraper API, I extracted LinkedIn job postings based on targeted keywords—such as Data Analyst and Business Analyst—across specific locations. I then leveraged Pandas to clean and transform the raw data before injecting it into the database.
Working with APIs proved to be an invaluable skill, unlocking rapid access to third-party data that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Building this pipeline significantly deepened my Python proficiency. The requests library served as the backbone for data extraction, while the development process taught me core software engineering principles like separation of concerns and robust error handling.
Finally, this project expanded my ability to interact with databases Pythonically; by mastering database cursors, I learned to execute SQL queries and insert statements seamlessly from my code.
