🎯 Lever Jobs Scraper — Open API Postings

Scrape Lever-hosted job boards in bulk via Lever's official open postings API. Feed in a list of company slugs (the path segment in jobs.lever.co/{slug}), get back every live posting with title, team, department, location, plain-text and HTML descriptions, and apply URL.

Built for recruiters and sourcing tools (track who's hiring senior roles), ATS competitive analysts (Lever vs. Greenhouse vs. Ashby adoption tracking), sales/BD teams (prospect into companies actively scaling teams), and job aggregators / talent platforms that need clean structured postings.

What you get per posting

• id, company_slug — Lever's posting ID + the slug you fed in
• title — job title
• team, department, commitment — categorical breakdown (e.g. Engineering, Backend, Full-Time)
• location, all_locations, country, workplace_type — onsite / remote / hybrid + geographic data
• hosted_url — canonical Lever-hosted job page
• apply_url — direct apply link
• created_at, updated_at — Unix-ms timestamps
• tags — any tags Lever exposes
• description_html, description_plain — main body in both formats
• opening_html, opening_plain — intro paragraph (often pitch / mission)
• description_body_html, description_body_plain — main responsibilities + qualifications
• lists — Lever's structured lists (Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc.)
• additional_html, additional_plain — equal-opportunity, comp band, perks
• source — "lever.co"

Use cases

1. Recruiter sourcing — pull every senior IC role at 75 Lever-hosted Series B/C companies and search descriptions for tech-stack keywords.
2. ATS market share research — count active Lever postings per company per quarter to track Lever vs. Greenhouse adoption.
3. Sales prospecting — companies that just added a "Head of Engineering" or "VP Sales" role are prime ICP for many B2B tools.
4. Job aggregator backfill — feed your remote-jobs board with structured Lever data refreshed nightly.
5. Comp-band benchmarking — many Lever postings publish salary ranges in the description; extract them downstream.
6. Investor / portfolio monitoring — track headcount growth at portfolio cos. via posting cadence.

FAQ

Q: Where do I find the Lever slug? A: Visit the company's careers page. If the URL is jobs.lever.co/{slug} (or it redirects to one), {slug} is what you want.

Q: What about Greenhouse / Ashby / Workday? A: Different ATS, different actors. See Related Actors below.

Q: Do I need a Lever API key? A: No. The public postings API at api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}?mode=json requires no auth.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Real-time. Postings show up within minutes of the company adding them in Lever.

Q: What if a company moved off Lever? A: You'll get an empty array (logged) and zero charges for that company. The actor moves on.

Q: Can I get just the metadata? A: Yes — set includeContent: false. Cuts row size by 80–95%.
