Collecting Jobs for OsClass
I am planning to create a osclass classifieds website exclusively for jobs in media. For now I plan to get jobs from sites like http://www.indeed.com/, where they provide APIs & XML feeds for custom search. I would like to know how can I use that job feeds so that they appear under categories,locations and also in search?

Overall, I will be a Neophyte.
OK, let's start with some dependable PHP learning resources.

Next we might be able to help with the APIs and XML feeds. If you can show us links to the data you want to use, I can show you how to consume it. But I am not an expert in OsClass so your experience would need to fill in that part.

Here you can find details about Osclass: https://osclass.org/
Its like a content management system for classifieds, the file and folder structure is similar to wordpress.
You can find details of Indeed API(I want to integrate API services of other possible classifieds sites too)

Meanwhile I am patching my web programming skills.

Do you have a budget for this project? At E-E we are pretty good at answering questions, but this is not really a question with an answer; it's a requirement for application development. When you want someone to research an API, that is a professional activity that requires considerable dedicated work. It would be appropriate to hire a professional developer to do the work.
OTOH, when you are working on the application and you come to a "stuck" point, we can usually help very quickly because in those cases, a succinct question about "how do I do this" emerges. The best way to get help with those stuck points is to use the SSCCE.

What are all the logical steps required in doing the project in detail?
My guesses in brief:
-Using API, collect job data through XML
-Input those into Osclass mysql database.

Agree, those are the two most important high-level tasks that come to mind.

How can I split these tasks into smaller meaningful steps? Also can you refer me a guide or primer to get started on APIs and XMLs?
