Project description

ResumeMiner

A lightweight Python library for extracting structured information from PDF resumes.

Features

  • PDF text extraction via pypdf
  • Email and phone number extraction
  • LinkedIn, GitHub, and portfolio URL extraction
  • Configurable skill matching against a bundled default list
  • Simple API and command-line interface
  • Structured dictionary output with raw extracted text

Installation

pip install resumeminer

Requires Python 3.9 or newer.

Development

git clone https://github.com/alixaprodev/resumeminer.git
cd resumeminer
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

from resumeminer import ResumeParser

parser = ResumeParser("resume.pdf")
result = parser.parse()

print(result["email"])
print(result["skills"])
from resumeminer import parse_resume

result = parse_resume("resume.pdf")
print(result)

Optional custom skills list:

parser = ResumeParser("resume.pdf", skills=["Python", "Rust", "Go"])
result = parser.parse()

CLI Usage

Parse a resume:

resumeminer parse resume.pdf

Human-readable output (default):

Email:     jane.developer@example.com
Phone:     +1 (555) 123-4567
LinkedIn:  https://linkedin.com/in/jane-developer
GitHub:    https://github.com/janedev
Portfolio: https://janedeveloper.dev
Skills:    Python, Django, React, Docker, AWS

Full JSON output (includes raw_text):

resumeminer parse resume.pdf --json

Print version:

resumeminer --version

Output Example

{
    "email": "jane.developer@example.com",
    "phone": "+1 (555) 123-4567",
    "links": {
        "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/in/jane-developer",
        "github": "https://github.com/janedev",
        "portfolio": "https://janedeveloper.dev"
    },
    "skills": ["Python", "Django", "React", "Docker", "AWS"],
    "raw_text": "..."
}

Supported Files

  • PDF resumes with extractable text

Scanned or image-only PDFs are not supported in v0.1.0.

Limitations

  • Extraction quality depends on PDF structure and formatting
  • Regex-based parsing may miss or misread fields on unusual layouts
  • Skill detection uses a fixed default list unless a custom list is provided
  • Phone and portfolio URL extraction may return imperfect matches on some resumes

Roadmap

  • OCR support for scanned resumes
  • DOCX and TXT file support
  • Name, education, and experience extraction
  • Section-based parsing
  • Custom skill dictionary file path
  • JSON schema output
  • Batch parsing CLI
