Job listings and career data
This directory lists 17 jobs APIs. 3 of them require no API key and support CORS, so you can call them directly from browser JavaScript with no backend and no sign-up. Every entry shows whether it needs authentication, serves over HTTPS and allows cross-origin requests, so you can pick one that fits your stack before you read a single doc page.
Best Jobs and Career APIs for Developers
A jobs API allows developers to search job listings, retrieve salary benchmarks, access skills databases, and integrate recruitment features into their applications. These APIs power job boards, HR tools, and career development platforms.
CodeHelper's curated jobs API collection includes APIs covering job search, salary data, company information, skills taxonomies, and recruitment services.
What to look for in a jobs API
- Listing freshness: Job postings have short shelf lives; APIs that update multiple times daily provide more accurate availability data.
- Search filters: Location, salary range, experience level, and remote work filters are essential for a useful job search experience.
- Skills taxonomy: APIs that map job titles to required skills enable competency-based career recommendation features.
