 "title": "Count matching postings before pulling them",
 "page_title": "How to count matching postings before pulling them with Pinloop CLI",
 "summary": "Check how many postings match a search before spending your daily pull allowance.",
 "who": "A person researching demand for a role, sector, or location who wants a quick count before collecting any data.",
 "problem": "Pulling postings uses a limited allowance, so it is wasteful to pull results without knowing how many match.",
 "outcome": "A count of matching postings for your search terms and filters, with nothing pulled yet.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm install -g pinloop` (Node 22 or newer is required).",
  "Run `pinloop login` and finish sign-in in the browser.",
  "Ask your coding agent to search Pinloop with your words and filters and report the number of matches.",
  "Adjust the words or filters and repeat the count until the number fits your goal.",
  "Pull only the postings you need, keeping within your plan limits."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the pinloop-cli repo, search Pinloop for <keywords and filters> and report only the number of matching postings, without pulling any. Expected output: one count per search tried. Verify that no postings were pulled by checking the plan usage before and after.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "codex",
  "cursor"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes this count feature but does not show the exact command, so the agent should check `pinloop guide` for the search syntax.",
 "category": "Work and operations",
 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node 22 or newer",
  "A coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor",
  "A Pinloop account, created with `pinloop login` through a browser (no password)",
  "Your resume and any preference files, if you want postings judged against them"
