Dataify Builder Skill

Use this skill to prepare Dataify builder requests for the scraper family rooted at glassdoor_company_by-url on glassdoor.com.

Workflow

1. Check whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN exists in the environment.
2. If the token is missing, stop and tell the user to sign in at Dataify Dashboard](https://dataify.com/dashboard) to obtain it.
3. Ask the user to choose exactly one tool from the following Chinese list:

• 通过URL采集 (glassdoor_company_by-url)
• 通过过滤器采集 (glassdoor_company_by-inputfilter)
• 通过关键词采集 (glassdoor_company_by-keywords)
• 通过搜索网址采集 (glassdoor_company_by-listurl)
• 通过URL采集 (glassdoor_joblistings_by-url)
• 通过关键词采集 (glassdoor_joblistings_by-keywords)
• 通过搜索网址采集 (glassdoor_joblistings_by-listurl)

4. Read references/tool-params.json and find the chosen tool by tool_sign or Chinese tool name.
5. For each parameter in the chosen tool:
   • If input_mode is user_input, ask the user for the value.
   • If input_mode is select, present the saved options to the user.
6. Use scripts/build-dataify-request.py as the default cross-platform helper.
7. Use scripts/build-dataify-request.ps1 as the Windows PowerShell helper when needed.
8. When a selectable parameter has a human-readable Chinese label, keep that label in spider_parameters. Do not replace it with a code such as HK unless the user explicitly asks for the coded value.
9. Build spider_parameters as a JSON array.
10. If every parameter has only one final value, build one object such as [{"searchurl":"...","country":"Hong Kong"}].
11. If one or more parameters have multiple aligned values, zip them by index and build one object per row. Example: [{"search_url":"url1","page_turning":"1","max_num":"15"},{"search_url":"url2","page_turning":"1","max_num":"15"}].
12. If a parameter has one value while another parameter has multiple values, reuse the single value across every generated row.
13. Set spider_name to glassdoor.com.
14. Set spider_id to the selected tool's tool_sign.
15. Always include spider_errors=true and file_name={{TasksID}}.
16. Return a curl command for https://scraperapi.dataify.com/builder.

Set DATAIFY_API_TOKEN

Prefer a permanent environment-variable setup instead of setting the token only for the current terminal session.

Windows PowerShell, permanent for the current user:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "your_token_here", "User")

Then reopen PowerShell. If the current session also needs the token immediately, run:

$env:DATAIFY_API_TOKEN = "your_token_here"

macOS or Linux, permanent for bash:

echo 'export DATAIFY_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

macOS or Linux, permanent for zsh:

echo 'export DATAIFY_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Script usage

Python:

python scripts/build-dataify-request.py --tool-sign \x3Cselected_tool_sign> --values-file values.json

PowerShell:

& ".\scripts\build-dataify-request.ps1" -ToolSign "\x3Cselected_tool_sign>" -ValuesFile ".\values.json"

The values.json file should contain either one object or an array of objects. Example:

[{"searchurl":"https://www.airbnb.com/s/Greece/homes?...","country":"Hong Kong"}]

Required output shape

Generate a curl command in this form:

curl -X POST 'https://scraperapi.dataify.com/builder' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAIFY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'spider_name=glassdoor.com' \
  -d 'spider_id=\x3Cselected_tool_sign>' \
  -d 'spider_parameters=[{"param":"value"}]' \
  -d 'spider_errors=true' \
  -d 'file_name={{TasksID}}'

Reference usage

• references/tool-params.json stores the full saved parameter catalog for every available tool in this scraper family.
• scripts/build-dataify-request.py is the portable implementation and should be preferred.
• scripts/build-dataify-request.ps1 mirrors the same behavior for Windows users.
• If a parameter has no options, the user must provide the value.
• If a parameter has options, present those options back to the user before building the final request.
• Do not assume spider_parameters always contains exactly one object. Multi-value tools may require multiple objects zipped by index.
• Use the saved url_example only as a reference example. Do not assume the user wants the example values unless they explicitly confirm them.
