Overview

fedtechjobber is a simple command line Ruby program that queries the USAJobs API for open tech federal job postings and generates/emails an HTML report displaying available job data along with any available agency GitHub profiles (via USA.gov's Social Media API - http://registry.usa.gov/accounts?service_id=github). The following (optional) search criteria from USAJobs can be used (https://data.usajobs.gov/Rest):
