🌱 Greenhouse Job Board API — Scrape Tech Jobs, Departments & Offices

The unofficial Greenhouse Job Board API in a single Apify Actor. Scrape every open job, full description, department, and office from any company hosted on Greenhouse — Airbnb, Stripe, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Datadog, Doctolib, Ramp, and 5,000+ more tech companies — all with one input. Pure HTTP, no login, no captcha, no API key, sub-second per board.

Greenhouse publishes a clean, public, rate-limit-free REST API for every company's job board. This Actor wraps it, normalizes the output, adds sensible filters, and ships it as a schedulable, exportable dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel) you can call from Make, n8n, Zapier, your CRM, or an AI agent.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 5,000+ companies in one Actor — pass a list of board tokens and cover every Greenhouse customer.
• 5 modes — jobs (all open jobs), jobDetail (questions and pay ranges for specific job IDs), board (company board profile), departments (department tree), offices (office tree).
• No auth, no anti-bot — Greenhouse's GET endpoints are fully public and not rate-limited.
• Full job content — complete HTML descriptions, decoded by default, with an optional plain-text version.
• Structured metadata — custom fields like employment type, full/part-time, and visa sponsorship as a key→value map.
• Departments & offices — returned as structured trees with parent/child relationships.
• Compliance fields — GDPR dataCompliance flags, plus EEOC and demographic questions in jobDetail mode.
• Pay ranges — salary data via includePayRanges when the employer publishes it.
• Client-side filters — by department, office, location, title keyword, and language.
• Parallel fetching — configurable concurrency across many boards in one run.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Greenhouse API key or login? No. The Greenhouse Job Board API GET endpoints are fully public. This Actor is read-only — you only need an Apify account.

Is it legal to use this data? The Actor consumes the public Greenhouse Job Board API, which Greenhouse documents as publicly accessible. The data is what employers chose to publish on boards.greenhouse.io. Respect each employer's terms and your local data-protection laws when redistributing. This Actor is not affiliated with Greenhouse Software, Inc.

How do I find a company's board token? Open the company's careers page. If the URL is boards.greenhouse.io/<slug>, that slug is the token. If they embed a Greenhouse iframe, view source and look for boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/<slug>/....

Can I filter the jobs? Yes — by department, office, location, title keyword, and language. Filtering is client-side because the Greenhouse public API does not accept query filters; the Actor fetches the full list and filters before saving.

How fresh is the data? Real-time. The Greenhouse Job Board API serves the current state of each board the moment you call it — there is no scraping lag.

Is there a salary field? Sometimes. Check metadata/metadataMap (some employers publish salary as a custom field), payInputRanges in jobDetail mode with includePayRanges enabled, and the free-form content HTML.

Can I detect newly posted jobs since my last run? Yes — diff against id, or use updatedAt and firstPublished to identify brand-new posts.

What output formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), HTML, and JSONLines, available through the Apify dataset and API.

Is this a Greenhouse job board API alternative?

Yes. It wraps the public Greenhouse Job Board API and normalizes the output, so you get a ready-to-use Greenhouse job board API alternative without building or maintaining your own integration.

How do I scrape Greenhouse jobs without an API key?

Just pass one or more board tokens — no API key, login, or captcha is required. Greenhouse's GET endpoints are public, so this Actor reads them directly to scrape Greenhouse jobs without any credentials.

How do I export Greenhouse jobs to CSV or JSON?

Run the Actor and download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML, or JSONLines. This makes it a simple way to export Greenhouse ATS career-page data to CSV or JSON for spreadsheets, databases, or AI agents.

⏰ Scheduling & integration

Schedule the Actor on Apify to run daily for an always-fresh tech-jobs dataset. Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, call it from the Apify API, or wire it into Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres, S3, or Slack with webhooks and no-code tools like Make, n8n, and Zapier.
