The current data scraper function is very basic. It works but is not fast, efficient or "smart" in any way.

I want to re-write the function such that it does the following:

Checks if index file exists in /data folder and only tries to scrape data that does not exist yet (only new jobs).
Still allows to re-scrape all data if desired.
Automatically increments job-id from existing index and tries to scrape until no new job page is found.
Stores the raw data and an index file with the last working job-id for future reference.

Bonus: Github Action that will re-run it every other week/month.
