US Nursing Jobs API - JobsIndex by Aspen Tech Labs

Access US nursing jobs through the JobsIndex API, built by Aspen Tech Labs. JobsIndex aggregates 6M+ active US job listings daily from over 175K employer source sites, sourced directly from company career pages and ATS platforms, not scraped from job boards. The nursing job category alone covers over 650,000 active US job postings from 18,500+ unique employer domains, updated every day.

Approximately 60% of nursing jobs come directly from employers such as health systems and hospital networks such as Trinity Health, DaVita, and Addus, with the remaining 40% sourced from recruitment agencies and staffing firms. This gives you full market coverage across both direct-hire and agency-sourced nursing roles.

This Actor covers the full breadth of US nurse and nursing roles, from registered nurse (RN) and licensed practical nurse (LPN) to nurse practitioner, LVN, nurse anesthetist, and travel nurse positions. Within each role type, data is organized into granular subcategories by specialty: cardiology, critical care, behavioral health, dialysis, bone marrow, brain injury, correctional, and many more. Travel nurse variants are also included across role types.

This Actor serves two primary use cases: teams that want to publish nursing job listings on their platform, and teams that need structured nursing workforce data for matching algorithms, AI model training, or healthcare workforce intelligence.

What You Can Use It For

• Power a niche healthcare job board, nurse recruiting platform, or niche travel nurse jobs site with fresh jobs across all major US nursing roles and specialties
• Feed a matching platform with structured nursing data, filterable by role, subcategory, location, salary, or posting age
• Monitor nursing hiring demand across US states, cities, and metro areas, useful for healthcare workforce planning, market research, or sales intelligence
• Analyze advertised salary and seniority signals across RN, LPN, NP, and travel nurse roles by location and specialty
• Collect structured US nursing jobs for training datasets, research, or product development

Built-In Search Preset

This Actor is fixed internally to country=United States and category=Nursing. Both fields are shown in the input example, and the runtime always enforces those values even if different values are submitted. Users can narrow the search by nursing role, location, salary, company, posting age, employment type, or seniority.

Limits and Pagination

This Actor uses the JobsIndex jobs API. Results are paginated with page and size.

Parameter	Default	Min	Max
page	0	0	Depends on size and the item cap
size	5	1	100

Invalid page or size values can return 400 Invalid page or size parameters.

Item Caps

The maximum number of retrievable jobs depends on the query shape:

Query shape	Max items	Effective max size	Over-size behavior
No company filter	1000	100	Validation error; not silently capped
Company filter with the Actor preset or another filter	20	20	Silent cap with capping metadata

A company filter means company_name or company_domain. Another filter means a value in fields such as title, category, sub_category, industry, posted, salary, employment_type, or seniority where available on this Actor.

Because this Actor always applies the built-in country=United States and category=Nursing preset, company-filtered requests are treated as company plus an additional filter and use the 20-item effective cap.

When a company-filtered request asks for size greater than the effective cap, the API returns up to the capped number of results instead of erroring. The response metadata includes:

• size_requested - the original requested size
• size_capped_by - "company|keywords" for the 20-item cap

On uncapped responses, size_requested and size_capped_by are not present.

No-company-filter requests are not silently capped. If the request exceeds the 1000-item retrieval window, the API can return 400 Item limit reached. Maximum of 1000 items can be retrieved.

Field Validation

Invalid filter values can return 400 Invalid value for parameter: <name>. Common validation examples include malformed company domains, invalid dates or relative posted values, invalid salary format, invalid job IDs, unsupported location formats, or overly long field values.

Output

Each run stores job records in the default Apify dataset. The dataset schema includes an Overview table for the most useful fields and a Raw data (all fields) table for the complete JobsIndex record.
