CLI¶

pyresparser comes with a cli option which you can use right away in your terminal

usage: pyresparser [-h] [-f FILE] [-d DIRECTORY] [-r REMOTEFILE]
                   [-sf SKILLSFILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                                show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE                      resume file to be extracted
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY       directory containing all the resumes to be extracted
  -r REMOTEFILE, --remotefile REMOTEFILE    remote path for resume file to be extracted
  -sf SKILLSFILE, --skillsfile SKILLSFILE   custom skills CSV file against which skills are searched for

Parsing single resume¶

For extracting data from a single resume file, use

pyresparser -f /path/to/resume/file

Parsing mutliple resumes¶

For extracting data from several resumes, place them in a directory and then execute

pyresparser -d /path/to/resume/directory/

Parsing hosted resumes¶

For extracting data from remote resumes, execute

pyresparser -r https://www.example.com/path/to/resume/file

Specifying skills explicitly¶

Pyresparser comes with built-in skills file that defaults to many technical skills. You can find the default skills file here.

For extracting data against your specified skills, create a CSV file with no headers and execute

pyresparser -sf /path/to/resume/file.csv -f /path/to/resume/file

Specifying export format¶

For specifying the export format you can use the following option:

pyresparser -e json -f /path/to/resume/file

Note: Currently only JSON export is supported

Custom regex for parsing phone numbers¶

While pyresparser parses most of the phone numbers correctly, there is a possibility of new patterns being added in near future. Hence, we can explicitly provide the regex required to parse the desired phone numbers. This can be done using

pyresparser -re '<pattern>' -f /path/to/resume/file
