FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The JobTech JobSearch API is public. Swedish only? Ads are mostly in Swedish; keywords can be Swedish or English. Is this official? Data comes from Arbetsförmedlingen's public JobTech API.

Limitations

• Municipality filters are applied as free-text in the search query (JobTech concept IDs are not required).
• Not every ad publishes a structured salary.
• Respect fair use; the Actor already rate-limits requests.
