View, monitor, and analyze 1.8M+ US jobs
The Job Postings API provides programmatic access to the largest publicly available dataset of US job postings, with over 2.2 million total listings and 1.6 million currently active roles. This API is designed for developers, data analysts, and talent intelligence teams who need structured, real-time job market data. Its core value lies in offering rich company-level records—including median compensation, salary ranges, work model distributions, department breakdowns, and hiring momentum—all compiled directly from the API's own data. By delivering this depth without requiring web scraping or manual aggregation, the API saves countless hours and ensures data accuracy for downstream applications.
The primary pain point this API solves is the difficulty of obtaining clean, granular, and up-to-date job posting data at scale. Traditional approaches involve scraping dozens of career pages and Applicant Tracking Systems, each with different schemas and rate limits, resulting in incomplete or stale data. Researchers and recruiters need to know not just which jobs exist, but also how companies are hiring—by department, location, salary band, and remote policy. Without a unified API, comparing hiring trends across employers or identifying high-salary roles in specific cities requires enormous manual effort. The Job Postings API eliminates these barriers by offering a single endpoint with consistent, normalized data.
The first major feature group is the detailed company record snapshot. For any company tracked in the API, users can retrieve an all-time posting count, new postings this week, median posted compensation, salary range, and work model breakdown (on-site, hybrid, remote). This data is further segmented by roles by function (e.g., Engineering, Research, Go-to-Market) and top locations (e.g., San Francisco, New York, Seattle). Such granularity enables users to quickly assess a company's hiring structure without browsing job boards. The benefit is immediate competitive intelligence: for example, seeing that a company has shifted to 40% remote roles can inform talent strategy or market analysis.
The second major feature group is the hiring momentum tracker, which shows changes over the last 30 days per department. The API exposes real-time hiring velocity—whether a company is scaling research (+42 roles), doubling its GTM team (+28), or slowing support (−12). This feature is critical for understanding where a company is investing headcount and where layoffs or freezes are occurring. Additionally, the API tracks top technologies and SaaS tools mentioned across job descriptions, such as Python, PyTorch, Kubernetes, and Salesforce. This allows users to infer technology stacks and tooling preferences, which is valuable for competitive analysis, vendor research, and skills gap assessments.
