Extracting Dates from Job Descriptions on Indeed: A Guide
hi team, How to extract a date from a description? (to scrape the start date from a job posting on Indeed) ? thx
You can use our website scraping functionality with custom regex patterns to extract dates from Indeed job postings. Here's how:1. Use the Scrape Website feature and input the Indeed job posting URL. 2. In the "Extract Custom Regex" field, you can input a regex pattern designed to match date formats commonly used in Indeed job postings. 3. If the page doesn't load immediately, you can set a "Scrape Delay in Seconds" (up to 10 seconds) to ensure all content is loaded before scraping.For best results, you may want to first map the specific fields using our Chrome Extension, then use the Find Data from Page enrichment to extract the structured data.

did not work for this one : \b(\d{1,2} (?:January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) \d{4}|\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{2,4}|(?:January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December) \d{1,2},? \d{4})\b
Can you provide more details about the specific job posting you're trying to scrape and the date format it uses?
Mark L.··Hi Alexandre .I'd be curious about the phrases you're attempting to match, and the specific table you're working in. I pasted your regex example into https://regexr.com/, and it highlighted a couple of unescaped / forward slashes. As a start, would you be able to update those, and see if you get better results afterward?
