Explore 10,000 US and Canadian job postings.

Where can I preview the sample?

Try the explorer to filter by country and search titles or employers. Select a posting to open its original employer link. The snapshot covers six hiring systems. The country split was chosen in advance and cannot be used to estimate hiring demand. Source records can overlap across postings.

How may I reuse the sample?

The Jobs API licenses its compilation, selection and documentation under CC BY 4.0. Attribute The Jobs API, link the dated dataset and indicate any changes. Employer marks and the pages linked from each record have separate rights.

What is a jobs dataset?

A jobs dataset is a table of job postings: one row per job, with columns like title, employer, place, pay and date. People use it for research, dashboards, machine learning and AI products.

A file goes stale fast. Jobs open and close every day. So the useful question is not only how to get the data once, but how to keep it current.

How do I load the current country feed?

1. Send GET /v1/jobs?country=CA&limit=1000 with your API key. Use country=US for the US feed.
2. Store the returned records by ID. On each subsequent request, pass next_cursor back as cursor and keep the same country filter.
3. Continue until next_cursor is null, including after a short page. Use the changes feed to maintain your copy.

How do I keep it fresh?

• New jobs: call /v1/active-ats with time_frame=1h each hour, or 24h each day. Windows end on the hour, so you never skip or repeat a job.
• Changed jobs: /v1/modified-ats returns jobs whose content changed in a time range.
• Closed jobs: /v1/expired-ats returns the ids of jobs that left the feed. Delete them from your copy.
• Or use one stream: /v1/changes lists every created, updated, expired and excluded job in order, seconds behind collection.

• Expired jobs feed
• Changes feed

How do I download job postings as CSV?

The job feeds return JSON, because jobs have lists inside them (several places, several job types). You can flatten them into CSV with jq:

curl -s "https://api.thejobsapi.com/v1/active-ats?time_frame=24h&limit=1000" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
| jq -r '(["id","title","organization","date_posted","url"]), (.[] | [.id, .title, .organization, .date_posted, .url]) | @csv' > jobs.csv

Add the columns you need. Our job fields page lists every field and what it holds.

The employer list is the one feed that comes as CSV directly: /v1/ats-organizations?format=csv. On the free trial it is a sample.

What does the live API add to the sample?

The title, employer, every location with city, province or state and country, the full description in text or HTML, the posting date, the date we first collected it, the job and apply links, the hiring system, and pay and job type when the employer states them. Add include_source_fields=true for the employer’s own extra fields, like department, with the path where each was found.

Where does the data come from?

From employer career sites and the hiring systems behind them, in the US and Canada. Not from LinkedIn or Indeed. Missing facts stay empty; we do not fill them with guesses.

What does it cost?

The US is $900 USD a month, Canada is $200 USD a month, and both are $1,100 USD a month, with no job or request limit. That covers a full backfill and every update after it. The free trial lasts 14 days and includes 100,000 jobs from the US and Canada, with no request limit. You do not need a card.
