Hi all,

Is it possible to make a web page that will go search jobs sites and display the results on my webpage ? Would the Jobsite have to have an API in order for me to do this ?

No, but it helps. The alternative would to write a script to scrape the content.

If you are using an API you'll need to read the API documentation. If you are going to scrape the site basically you just need to download the page (ie file_get_contents('some url'); ) and then parse out the data you want. Look into the DOM class for parsing.
