The short answer
If you need job postings for Canada and the US, The Jobs API is an alternative to Adzuna API. It collects jobs only from employer career sites and hiring systems, and gives you search, full job details and new, modified and expired feeds. It is built for publishers who show search results on their site, not for building a job data product.
What is Adzuna API?
The API of the Adzuna job search engine, with salary and vacancy statistics. Where its jobs come from: adzuna’s own aggregated job index.
Why look for a Adzuna API alternative?
- You are building a product, data feed or analysis that needs commercial use rights without extra licensing.
- You need full job descriptions and links to the employer’s own posting.
- You need change feeds to keep a copy in sync.
