Anyway I can automate applying for a job now. That would be the ultimate tool to complement this.

Actually, that would be so cool...

Like you could configure a few different resumes (Front-end heavy, Python focused, large company, small company) and apply to a buttload of jobs.

I was always under the impression job sites don’t like to be scraped. What are the risks in using a tool like this? I would suspect possibly getting your ip banned.

This is indeed's business model - certainly that's what the big uk recruitment sites thought.

This is essentially what large job sites like Indeed do themselves, but they have entire teams maintaining the scraping pipeline. I've worked for one of their competitors.

It's also largely what the DirectGov website in Britain does. They have an entire team working on maintaining the pipeline. I haven't worked for one of their competitors, though.
