This is a terrific project. Write a scraper to do this!

I suggest this having read another comment of yours (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31763001) Scrapers are fun projects and there are tons of resources online to assist.

A project like this is a great thing to discuss in an interview as well.

Yeah, I am thinking about doing this.

Some projects that gave me inspiration: - https://pypi.org/project/linkedin-jobs-scraper/ - https://github.com/nicolomantini/LinkedIn-Easy-Apply-Bot

I was thinking to contribute to existing ones to add a database/dashboard option through Google Sheets or something else.

I support this strongly. Given that a Software engineer should be able to understand code / write code.. it's a nobrainer to go the scrapping way. Even me, with absolutely no CS background (never studied, but it's my digital life) started to learn python out of fun and also did some scrapping because I'm to lazy in some terms.. Scrap your info.
