Ashby Jobs API Scraper

Unofficial. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Ashby, Inc. It calls Ashby's own public job-board API. All trademarks belong to their owners. Removal requests: TAKEDOWN.md — honoured in 48 hours. Privacy: PRIVACY.md.

Live job postings straight from the Ashby public job-board API — api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/{name} — normalized into one flat schema with structured compensation, a real remote flag, parsed locations and a stable job id. You paste Ashby job-board names (openai) or Ashby careers URLs; you get clean job rows back. Seven filters run before anything is billed, company summaries and error rows are free, and onlyNewJobs keeps a baseline in your own key-value store so a daily monitoring run returns only what changed. No scraping, no headless browser, no proxies, no API keys.

We index nothing you buy. There is no "jobs in our database" number here, because there is no index between you and the board: every row in your run was fetched from that employer's Ashby board seconds earlier, never served from a crawl of unknown age. And because you are billed only for job rows you actually receive, a 500-company daily watch with onlyNewJobs costs a couple of cents a run.

What this is not: no keyword search without a company list; and this listing reads Ashby only — an entry for another ATS comes back as a free error row.

What this Ashby jobs API does

• Endpoint — api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/{name}?includeCompensation=true
• Job-board name — the slug in your careers URL: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai → openai
• Compensation — the cleanest structured pay data of any provider in this family: compensation.compensationTiers becomes salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency and salaryInterval with salarySource: "ats"
• Remote flag — Ashby's isRemote becomes a real remote boolean with remoteSource: "ats"
• Descriptions — the full ad body, inline in the same response, on by default at no extra cost

That endpoint is Ashby's own public job-board API: the same one a company's careers page calls to render itself, documented by Ashby and requiring no credential. That is a different product from career-page scraping — no headless browser, no residential proxy, no bot walls, nothing that breaks when a marketing site is restyled.

Rows you are not charged for: company summaries, error rows, jobs removed by your filters, companies never reached because your maxJobs cap fired, and companies that failed.

Supported endpoint and what Ashby actually gives you

Field	Ashby	Note
Structured salary	Yes — compensationTiers	The best of the six providers we support; intervals arrive as "1 YEAR" and are normalized to year
Remote flag	Yes — isRemote	Stated outright by the board, remoteSource: "ats"
Description	Yes, inline	Both HTML and plain text are available from the same response
Employment type	Yes — employmentType	Normalized to full_time / part_time / contract / temporary / internship / other, employmentTypeSource: "ats"
Department / team	Yes	department and team both populated where Ashby has them
Job URL	Yes	jobUrl, plus applyUrl where Ashby exposes one
Posted date	Yes — publishedAt	Exposed as postedAt with postedAtSource
Multi-location	Yes — secondaryLocations	Kept in a sorted locations[] array rather than duplicated into extra rows

How to use the Ashby job board API

1. Paste your board names. One per line: openai, or the full URL https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai.
2. Set your filters. Title keywords, excluded titles, location, remote-only, departments, employment types, posted-after. They all run locally on the fetched JSON, before billing.
3. Run it, or schedule it. For monitoring, turn on onlyNewJobs and give the task its own stateKey; the first run stores the baseline and later runs return only what is new.

A minimal run — ["openai"] with maxJobs: 50 — finishes in seconds and costs ten cents.

Coming from fantastic-jobs, jobo, bovi or webdata_labs

Saved input from another Ashby Actor runs here unchanged. These input keys are accepted as aliases for companies, first non-empty wins, and an explicit companies always wins over an alias:

Their key	Here
jobBoardNames, boardTokens, siteNames	companies
queries, companyUrls, startUrls	companies
subdomains, companyIdentifiers	companies

What you gain: live boards instead of an index of unknown age; postedAfter and per-company filtering that run before billing, so filtered-out jobs are free; structured compensation with currency and interval separated rather than a pay string; no contact, recruiter or candidate fields anywhere in the output; the full ad body on by default with contact redaction on by default; and a trackedSince date on every company row once onlyNewJobs is on.

What you lose, stated plainly: there is no keyword search without a company list. If "find me every Rust job anywhere" is your requirement, an aggregator fits better than this Actor. And this listing is Ashby-only by design — if you need Greenhouse, Lever, Recruitee, Rippling or Personio in the same run, use the multi-ATS Actor ats-jobs-scraper instead of running four listings.

Output

One job row per posting (charged), plus free company_summary and error rows. The dataset schema is identical to the multi-ATS Actor's, so a pipeline can read both without a branch.

Two dataset views are provided: Jobs (spreadsheet-ready postings) and Company summaries. Export either as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the Storage tab.

What null means: we could not determine it. We never guess remote status, employment type, seniority or salary. A null field is the honest answer, and far more useful than an invented one when you are filtering thousands of rows.

Filters, deduplication and normalization

• remote comes from Ashby's isRemote where present (remoteSource: "ats"); otherwise from the location text or the title, and null when nothing said. remoteOnly keeps only positively-confirmed remote jobs.
• Salary comes from compensationTiers first (salarySource: "ats"). Ashby's "1 YEAR" / "1 MONTH" interval strings are normalized to year / month. Only when there is no structured tier do we run a conservative regex over the salary text (salarySource: "parsed"), with rejection gates for equity, bonuses, funding rounds, 401(k), date ranges and phone numbers. Never an LLM.
• Employment type is normalized from Ashby's employmentType to full_time, part_time, contract, temporary, internship or other. strictEmploymentType keeps only ATS-confirmed ones.
• Dedupe by id is always on. By content additionally merges rows with the same title, company, raw location and requisition id — useful for boards that list a role once per office, but it can merge genuinely separate openings. Dropped ids are listed in dedupedFrom on the surviving row.
• Locations are parsed into city, region, country and an upper-case countryCode from a bundled table. Ashby's secondaryLocations are kept in a sorted locations[] array. No geocoding, no coordinates, no external service.

Privacy and contact redaction

• The output has no contact, recruiter or candidate fields. Ever.
• includeDescription ships on, so a default run carries the ad body. That body is the employer's own copyrighted advertisement text; publishing an ad licenses nobody to redistribute it. Set includeDescription: false if you would rather not hold ad bodies at all.
• With redactContacts on (the default), the body is stripped of email addresses, phone numbers, LinkedIn/Xing/WhatsApp/Calendly/Telegram links and handles, and a person's name where the ad labels it as a contact (Contact:, Hiring manager:, Recruiter:, Ansprechpartner:). descriptionRedacted records that something was removed.
• What redaction does not catch, stated plainly — we do not claim "no PII": a name in running prose with no contact label in front of it survives. Redaction is a contactability control, not anonymisation. Anyone named in an ad body gets it removed in 48 hours, unconditionally: TAKEDOWN.md · PRIVACY.md.
• Nothing is stored outside your own Apify account and nothing is sent to the developer. The Actor opens no outbound connection to us and embeds no credential.

Pricing

$0.002 per job row — the only event that costs real money. Everything else on the Pricing tab is platform floor:

Event	Price	What it is
job	$0.002	One job row delivered to your dataset. This is the price.
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	Apify's platform default, charged once per run.
delta-run	$0.00001	Instrumentation, recorded once per run when onlyNewJobs is on — one cent per thousand monitoring runs.

Free, always: company summary rows, error rows, jobs removed by your filters, companies never reached because your maxJobs cap fired, and companies that failed.

Run shape	Charged rows	Cost
One board, 50 jobs (an agent query)	50	$0.10
Ten boards, 1,000 jobs (a backfill)	1,000	$2.00
500 boards, onlyNewJobs, 15 new jobs (daily monitoring)	15	$0.03

That is $2 per 1,000 jobs. Set maxJobs to bound any run, or ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD to bound the spend directly — when that limit is reached the Actor stops pushing, writes budget_exhausted summaries and still finishes successfully.

Monitoring new Ashby job postings (delta mode)

Turn on onlyNewJobs and give each monitoring task its own stateKey. The first run stores the baseline and returns everything; later runs return only ids that were not there before. stateRetentionDays (default 90) forgets ids that stopped appearing, so the store cannot grow forever. The state is a key-value store in your account, named by you — we never see it.

Integrations: n8n, Make, Zapier, Clay, Google Sheets, Slack

• n8n — the Apify node, Run an Actor, then Get dataset items.
• Make — the Apify Run an Actor module plus Watch dataset items.
• Zapier — Apify's Run Actor action; map title, company, url, postedAt into your CRM.
• Clay — call the Actor as an HTTP enrichment step, keyed on the Ashby board name.
• Google Sheets — export the Jobs view as CSV, or push items from n8n/Make.
• Slack — filter on isNew in delta mode and post new rows to a channel.

For AI agents and MCP

Agent-friendly by construction: limited permissions, pay-per-event with a single paid event, no Standby mode, typed error rows instead of stack traces, and a minimal output profile returning only title, company, locationRaw, city, countryCode, remote, url, postedAt to keep token cost down.

{
  "companies": ["openai"],
  "outputProfile": "minimal",
  "maxJobs": 25,
  "titleKeywords": ["research engineer"]
}

Set maxJobs on every call and ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD on the run to cap spend. Errors come back as dataset rows with recordType: "error" and a machine-readable status, so a tool call never has to parse a traceback.

Limitations you should know before you buy

• Structured compensation is present only where the employer published it. Ashby carries it more often than any other provider we support, but "more often" is not "always" and we return null rather than a guess.
• Ashby board names are the slug in the jobs.ashbyhq.com URL. A wrong name returns a free not_found error row, not a charge.
• Some Ashby boards are configured private or embedded behind the employer's own domain; the public posting API answers only for boards the employer published.
• Seniority is not reported by Ashby, so seniority is null on every row. We never infer it.
• This listing reads Ashby only. A Greenhouse board token or a jobs.lever.co URL is refused with a free error row naming the right Actor.
• There is no keyword search without a company list.

FAQ

Is this legal? We call Ashby's own public, unauthenticated job-board API, we honour documented rate limits, we do not scrape career pages, we use no proxies and we touch no login-walled site. Copyright is a separate question and we will not pretend otherwise: the description body stays the employer's copyrighted text, and any rightholder who wants it out gets it out in 48 hours — TAKEDOWN.md.

Do I need an API key? No. The endpoint requires no credential and the Actor stores none.

How fresh is the data? Fetched live at run time. No index, no cache between you and the board.

Where do I find a board name? It is the path segment in the careers URL — https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai → openai. You can paste the whole URL instead.

Why is the salary interval year when Ashby said 1 YEAR? We normalize it, so a filter or a spreadsheet does not have to parse two formats.

Can I get salaries for every job? No. Compensation depends entirely on what the employer published.

How do I schedule it daily? Apify Schedules, with onlyNewJobs: true and a dedicated stateKey.

How do I export to CSV? Storage → the Jobs view → Export → CSV.
