## What it is

Original site: [eluta.ca](https://www.eluta.ca)

The extractor lives in `extractors/eluta/manifest.ts`. It requests one or more public RSS URLs of the form `https://www.eluta.ca/rss?location=...`, parses items (title, employer, location, link, description), filters by pipeline search terms, and merges feeds while de-duplicating by `guid` / URL.

## Why it exists

Eluta surfaces Canadian roles indexed directly from employer career sites, often with less aggregator noise than generic job search. RSS provides a stable, low-auth integration compared to scraping HTML.

## How to use it

1. Choose **location strings** Eluta accepts in the RSS `location` query parameter (for example `Toronto, ON`, `Vancouver, BC`). Very broad values such as a whole country may return empty feeds; prefer metros or provinces.
2. In **Settings**, set **Eluta RSS locations** (`elutaRssLocations`) as a JSON array or comma/newline-separated list, or set `ELUTA_RSS_LOCATIONS` in the environment (for example `Toronto, ON|Montreal, QC`).
3. Optionally set **Eluta max jobs per term** (`elutaMaxJobsPerTerm`, default `100`).
4. Set your search geography to **Canada** — Eluta is **Canada-only** and is skipped automatically when the resolved pipeline country is not Canada.
5. Enable **Eluta** in pipeline sources and run the pipeline.

## Common problems

### Eluta is skipped for my run

- Search geography is not Canada (city/country/Indeed country resolution). Align geography to Canada or disable Eluta for non-Canada profiles.

### Empty feeds

- The `location` string may be too broad or spelled differently than Eluta expects. Try a major city plus province (e.g. `Calgary, AB`).
- Eluta's RSS is a small recent slice of *all* jobs for that location (often retail/hospitality-heavy). Pipeline search terms like `software engineer` can legitimately match zero items even when the feed itself is healthy. Broaden terms or add more metro locations.

### RSS HTTP errors / "Too Many Requests"

- Eluta rate-limits aggressive or browser-like clients. The extractor uses a dedicated `JobOps/... Eluta RSS consumer` User-Agent; retry later or reduce the number of location feeds per run.
