Looking for a Proxycurl alternative?
A Proxycurl alternative for job postings in Canada and the US: jobs straight from employer career sites, with search, change feeds and a free trial.
Updated
The short answer
Proxycurl is not an option for most developers today. The Jobs API is a self-serve alternative for job postings in Canada and the US, collected from employer career sites, with a free trial.
What is Proxycurl?
A LinkedIn-based people, company and jobs API that shut down in July 2025. Where its jobs come from: linkedIn data.
Proxycurl announced its shutdown on July 4, 2025, after LinkedIn sued it in January 2025. Its founder’s post says the team now runs a narrower company data API.
Why look for a Proxycurl alternative?
- You need a jobs API that does not depend on LinkedIn data.
- You want jobs from employer career sites, with links to the original posting.
