Add job listings to your website.
Want a jobs section on your site? Here is how to add real job listings from employers using a jobs API.
Updated
The short answer
You can add job listings to your website by calling a jobs API from your server, saving the jobs you want, and showing them on a page. Filter by place or job title so the jobs fit your visitors.
Why add jobs to your site?
- Give your visitors another reason to come back
- Help your community find work
- Add fresh pages that search engines can find
- Earn money through ads or sponsored jobs
How does it work?
- Your server asks the API for jobs, like “jobs in Halifax.”
- The API sends back a list of jobs.
- You save them and show them on your jobs page.
- Every hour, you check for new and closed jobs.
Keep your API key safe
Always call the API from your server, not from the visitor’s browser. If the key is in your web page, anyone can copy it and use your plan.
What should each job show?
Show the title, company, place and a short part of the description. Add a button that opens the job on the employer’s site so people can apply.
Questions people ask

Can I show only remote jobs?
Yes. Use the remote filter to get jobs the employer marked as remote.
