The jobs data API

Live job postings, straight from the source

The SimpleCareerjobs API is a REST API over job postings collected from company career boards. Every posting comes from the employer’s own applicant tracking system, refreshes hourly, and links to the real application page. You query it with a key and a cursor.

What you get

Jobs data you can trust in production

Four things stale job dumps never give you: freshness, expiry, provenance, and a way to stay in sync.

Live, verified jobs

Postings are fetched from each company's own career board and rechecked hourly. When a posting disappears from the board, we mark it expired instead of leaving it to rot in your index.

A change feed

Poll /v1/changes with a cursor to pick up new and expired postings since your last call. No re-crawling and no diffing on your side.

Direct apply URLs

Every posting links to the application page on the employer's own site. No aggregator redirects and no tracking hops between your users and the job.

A companies directory

Browse the companies behind the postings with /v1/companies, then filter /v1/jobs by company id to follow the employers you care about.

Coverage

What is in the data, stated plainly

We track the public career boards of 9,500+ companies across 30 applicant tracking systems. That is the whole dataset. If a company hires somewhere we do not track, you will not find it here, and we would rather say that up front.

Quickstart

Three steps to your first response

1
Create an account
Sign up with your email. One account per organization.
2
Mint an API key
Create a key in the portal. Treat it like a password: we store only a hash and show it to you once.
3
Call the API
Plain REST with JSON responses and cursor pagination. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page.
