Researching Job Board APIs

Issue #60 - Research Additional Job APIs

We may be able to use some additional APIs to scrape. Some potential sources might be LinkedIn, Github, Dice. These services may not, however, allow us to use them or be feasible to use.

Acceptance Criteria:

Evaluate above services for their viability.

If any are...
Write up an issue with acceptance criteria

If any aren't...
Document why in the Basecamp for the project

Concerns:

Many APIs rate limit usage. What are the rate limits on the service
Terms of Service may not allow our use case

1. GitHub Jobs API - Appears to be a feasible option.

2. Indeed API - Appears to be a feasible option if free, but have yet to determine if it is in fact free.

3. Dice API - Appears to have little or no documentation. Not even sure if the API is still available. Not feasible.

4. Authentic Jobs API - Appears to be a feasible option. Very thorough documentation.

5. Elance API - Appears to be a feasible option. Very thorough documentation.

6. Upwork API - Appears to be a very feasible option, and has possibly the best documentation out of all options.
