Ashby Jobs Scraper: Any Board, No API Key

Every open role from any Ashby job board, by company domain or board token, including the compensation range and the remote flag where the company publishes them. Clean JSON, no API key, no proxy, no board token to look up.

Features

• Any ashby board, from the URL or token you already have. No API key, no login, no cookies, no proxy: this reads the public feed ashby publishes so that job boards can index it.
• Every posting, not the first page. Paging is handled, including the places where ashby reports a total it does not honour.
• One row per job, as clean JSON, with the same field names on every run.
• Filters that cost you nothing. Rows dropped by titleKeywords, locationKeywords or remoteOnly are never charged for.
• Errors are per company. One bad id does not end the run, and error rows are not charged.
• Run it on a schedule and the rows become a record of who started hiring and when.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free, or add this Actor to a task.
2. Put one or more companies or board ids in the input. The example below is a real one.
3. Optionally narrow it with titleKeywords, locationKeywords or remoteOnly. Filtered rows are not billed.
4. Run it. Results appear in the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel or fetched from the API.

Output

One row per job. This is the shape, with the fields ashby actually publishes:

{
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "location": "Berlin, Germany",
  "url": "https://boards.example.com/jobs/8130725",
  "jobId": "8130725",
  "postedAt": "2026-08-20T09:14:02Z",
  "departments": ["Engineering"],
  "offices": ["Berlin"],
  "description": "We are looking for...",
  "employmentType": "full-time",
  "compensation": "EUR 70000 - 90000 per year",
  "isRemote": true,
  "workplaceType": "Hybrid",
  "company": "openai",
  "atsPlatform": "ashby",
  "boardToken": "openai",
  "boardUrl": "https://boards.example.com/openai",
  "seniority": "senior"
}

Field
title	the role as the company wrote it
location	as published, not normalised
url	the public posting, ready to open
jobId	the ATS's own id, stable across runs
postedAt	ISO 8601 UTC
departments	list
offices	list
description	opt in, off by default because it is expensive at the source
employmentType	full time, contract, intern, as the source says
compensation	the published range, as text
isRemote	true only for genuinely remote roles
workplaceType	Remote, Hybrid or OnSite
company	what you asked for, echoed back
atsPlatform	which system it came from
boardToken	the board id used
boardUrl	the public board this came from
city	where the location names one
country	derived from the location, and from the job URL where the location is a phrase like "2 Locations"
region	state or province, where the location names one
seniority	derived from the title: intern, junior, senior, staff, lead, principal, director or executive. Empty where the title does not say, which is most of them
workArrangement	remote, hybrid or onsite

What people use this for

Hiring data is not really about jobs. It is the earliest public signal a company gives that something changed, and it is why three different kinds of buyer end up on the same dataset:

• Sales and go-to-market. A company that opens six engineering roles this month is a company with new budget. Job postings say which team is growing and in which city, weeks before anything shows up in a funding announcement.
• Investors and market research. Headcount by function, tracked over time, across a whole portfolio or a whole sector. Every row carries the company, the team and the date, so a weekly run is a time series.
• Recruiting and talent. Where a competitor is hiring, which roles they have been trying to fill for months, and what they are paying, since Ashby is one of the two systems here that publishes a pay range.

Run it once for a snapshot. Run it on a schedule and the same rows become a record of who started growing and when.

You do not need the board token

{ "companies": ["openai.com"] }

Every other ashby Actor asks you for a board token, and there is no directory mapping a company to its token. This one derives candidates from the domain and verifies each against the live API, which is sound because ashby answers 404 for a board that does not exist and 200 for one that exists with nothing open. A 200 is proof, not a maybe.

Measured across 30 companies, deriving and verifying resolved 90% against 50% for reading the careers page for a link. Stripe's careers page is a JavaScript app that names no board at all, and it still resolves.

What makes ashby different

• Measured: openai 753 open roles, ramp 126, notion 109, linear 23.

• Ashby is the only one of the seven that publishes a salary band at all, and it hides it behind a parameter: the plain board response has no compensation key, ?includeCompensation=true returns $211.4K - $290.6K. This Actor always sends it, because it costs nothing and salary is among the most valuable fields in a job row. Measured: every Ramp and OpenAI posting carries a real band; Notion and Linear return the field full of nulls, which is a company choosing not to publish rather than a missing feature, and the two are reported differently.

• It also carries a real workplace type, and its own isRemote boolean is not it. Measured on Ramp 2026-08-01: isRemote is true on 117 of 126 postings, while workplaceType says Hybrid 101, Remote 16, OnSite 9. Ashby's boolean means "not fully on-site", so filtering on it answers a request for remote work with a hundred hybrid roles at a New York office. This Actor reports workplaceType as the three values it really has, and sets isRemote only for Remote. Hybrid is a real third state and a boolean cannot hold it.

• Ashby is where the newer AI companies are, which is why a board like openai is larger here than most Greenhouse boards.

Filters that cost you nothing

Filtered rows are not charged. Keywords match as plain text, so c++ and node.js mean exactly that rather than being read as regular expressions.

Integrations and API

Every run writes to a dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read from the Apify API. The Actor can be scheduled, called from another Actor, or wired into Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets and the rest of Apify's integrations. It is also callable by an AI agent through the Apify MCP server, and the output schema means the agent gets field descriptions rather than raw JSON.

Looking for an Indeed or Glassdoor API? There isn't one, and this is why you don't need it

Indeed has no public jobs API. Neither does Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter or LinkedIn Jobs, and all four block you at the edge. Measured from an ordinary residential address on 2026-08-01, with normal browser headers:

indeed.com/jobs          403      0 bytes
glassdoor.com/Job/...    403      0 bytes
ziprecruiter.com         403      0 bytes
upwork.com/nx/search     403      0 bytes

Zero bytes. Cloudflare rejects the request before it reaches an application, so there is nothing to parse and no proxy budget that fixes it.

But none of those four originate job data. They aggregate it from company career pages, and those pages run on systems like ashby that publish a free, keyless, public API, because companies want their openings indexed. That API answered with real jobs from the same connection, in the same minute.

Going to the source is also fresher. An aggregator shows you its last crawl. This shows you the board.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or an account with ashby? No. This reads the public feed ashby publishes for indexing. Nothing here is behind a login, a paywall or a bot wall.

What am I charged for? Rows returned. Rows removed by your filters are not charged, and neither are error rows.

Can I get only what changed since my last run? Run it on a schedule and compare jobId, which is stable across runs. For change tracking with the work already done, see the sibling Actors below.

A board came back empty. Is the company not hiring? An empty board is a real answer here and is reported as one.

Notes

• The source is a public API that companies publish deliberately. Nothing here is behind a login, a paywall or a bot wall.
• An empty board is a real answer and is reported as one.
• Errors are per company. One bad token does not end the run, and error rows are not charged.
