# france-travail

Search France Travail job postings to detect hiring signals.

## Triggers

- `/emploi DevSecOps Toulouse`
- `/emploi RGPD 31`
- "qui recrute en cybersecurite dans le 31?"
- "offres DevSecOps a Toulouse"
- "signaux de recrutement IT Occitanie"

## How it works

Queries the France Travail Partner API (Offres d'emploi v2). Requires OAuth2 authentication with client credentials.

1. Obtains an access token from `https://entreprise.francetravail.fr/connexion/oauth2/access_token?realm=/partenaire`
2. Searches job postings via `https://api.francetravail.io/partenaire/offresdemploi/v2/offres/search`

**Graceful degradation:** If credentials are not set, the script outputs a clear error message with setup instructions instead of crashing.

## Usage

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ft.py --query "DevSecOps" --department 31 --format json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ft.py --query "RGPD DPO" --format text
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/ft.py --query "cybersecurite" --department 75 --per-page 25 --format json
```
