Add actual date posted?
Closed
Is it possible for you to calculate the date the job is posted? It shows "Posted 3 days" ago, for example, but it would be great to use that to generate the actual date in a separate field called whatever you think makes sense. I can send you what I've used for another custom actor if you need some code to do this.

Hi. Yeah, would be cool. Send it and I'll take a look

Sure, here is the code from another actor I use. You will need to modify the lines where I have made comments.
const result = {}; const currentDateTime = new Date(); const text = $('h6[itemprop="datePosted"],h6.date-posted').text().trim(); // CHANGE to however you are pulling in the posted x days ago
const daysMatch = text.match(/Posted (\d+) days ago/); const hoursMatch = text.match(/Posted (\d+) hours ago/);
if (daysMatch) { const daysAgo = parseInt(daysMatch[1], 10); currentDateTime.setDate(currentDateTime.getDate() - daysAgo); } else if (hoursMatch) { // If it's less than 24 hours ago, we can just use the current date }
// Format date to "mm/dd/yyyy" const formattedDate = (currentDateTime.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0') + '/' + currentDateTime.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0') + '/' + currentDateTime.getFullYear();
result.posted = formattedDate; // CHANGE to whatever variable you like, but formattedDate has the value as 05/02/2022 for example

Hi again. Added this under postingDateParsed. It uses chrono-node lib. I've also noticed that in some cases the original postedAt might be missing in the results, but it seems to be a platform bug, so might be fixed later
