Global Lightcast Smart Dataset Client - usage

The goal of this project is to propose a Python Client, easy to use, ready for everyone to access and use in few seconds the Global Lightcast Smart Dataset

The client covers different needs and question:

  • UK Occupation Insights (contents, trends and projection by occupation and area in UK)

  • Global Occupation Insights (contents, trends and projection by occupation and area, globallu)

Install

To install or install/upgrade the package it’s best to use pip: pip install -U lightcast-smart-dataset

How it works

You can use the client in two ways: - Command line - Python code

This module is using [docopt](http://docopt.org/) to parse command line arguments.

It proposes different methods:

  1. Get the occupation insights for an occupation in a area of UK

  • lightcast-smart-dataset uk occupation-insight soc –username=**** –password=**** –occupation=”Programmers and software development professionals” –area=”Camden and City of London”

  • lightcast-smart-dataset uk occupation-insight occupation –username=***** –password=**** –occupation=”Programmers and software development professionals” –area=”Camden and City of London”

  1. Get the occupation insights for software developers in Milan, Italy

  • lightcast-smart-dataset global occupation-insight occupation –username=***** –password=**** –occupation=”Business Development / Sales Manager” –area=”Milan (ITA)” –occupation-level=3 –area-level=2

  1. Get a taxonomy

    • lightcast-smart-dataset taxonomy soc4 –username=**** –password=****

Results

The command line interface will create different Excel file with different sheets:

  • the current 12 months of unique job postings vs the last 12 months of unique job postings

  • the top 10 common skills, top 10 specialized skills in the area refered to the last 12 months for the requested occupation

  • the top 10 job tiles in the area refered to the last 12 months for the requested occupation

  • the top 10 employers in the area refered to the last 12 months for the requested occupation (only employers, no staffic company)
