US Education (Including K-12) Jobs API - JobsIndex by Aspen Tech Labs

This Actor provides direct access to education job postings across the United States, including K-12. It currently covers 250,000+ active US education jobs, sourced directly from employer career sites and applicant tracking systems and updated daily.

The dataset covers the full US education employment landscape, from pre-K and childcare through K-12 schools to colleges and universities. It includes roles such as teachers, paraprofessionals, school counselors, school nurses, principals, professors, deans, academic advisors, and athletic directors. Because the underlying Education category is intentionally broad, results include both K-12 and higher-education jobs.

Use title, sub-category, employer, and structured location filters to narrow the dataset toward pre-K, primary, or secondary education use cases. K-12 role coverage includes teachers, teaching assistants, early-childhood teachers, special-education teachers, counselors, school nurses, paraprofessionals, custodians, school directors, and principals. Records include location, posting age, and salary information where disclosed by the employer.

Use the broad dataset for sector-wide labor market research, or narrow it for school-focused job backfill, staffing workflows, EdTech recruiting tools, and teacher supply-and-demand analysis. It is also suited to academic and policy research by universities, labor economists, and think tanks studying US education employment trends, teacher shortages, and regional pay gaps, and can serve as a live, structured complement to slower government sources such as BLS or state education reports.

Location Filtering

The country is fixed to the United States. Narrow results with region, city, postal_code, and metro_area.

Salary Filter Format

Use NUMBER[UNIT] or NUMBER[UNIT]-NUMBER[UNIT]. Supported units are h, d, w, m, and y.

Examples: 25h-40h, 50000y-90000y.

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 plus another keyword or filter	20	20	Silent cap with capping metadata
Company filter only	5	5	Silent cap with capping metadata

A company filter means company_name, company_domain, or a company field referenced inside what. Another keyword or filter means anything in what other than company_*, or a value in fields such as title, category, sub_category, industry, posted, salary, employment_type, remote, or seniority.

This Actor always applies the Education preset, so company-filtered requests normally use the 20-item company|keywords cap.

When capping applies, response metadata includes size_requested and size_capped_by: "company" for the 5-item cap or "company|keywords" for the 20-item cap. These fields are absent from uncapped responses.

No-company-filter requests are not silently capped. Requests beyond the 1000-item retrieval window 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, unsupported location formats, or overly long field values.
