✨ What it does

• Pulls live job postings straight from The Muse's public jobs API.
• Filter by category (e.g. Software Engineering), location (e.g. New York, NY) and company (e.g. SpaceX).
• Returns clean, deduplicated, ready-to-use JSON — every field nullable so downstream code never breaks.
• Strips HTML from job descriptions into readable plain text (capped at 5,000 chars).
• Handles pagination automatically up to your maxItems limit.

🚀 Use cases

• Recruiting & sourcing — build a live feed of open roles at target companies.
• Job boards & aggregators — enrich or seed your own listings with fresh data.
• Company research — track which companies are hiring, where, and for what.
• Lead generation — find hiring companies as sales signals for HR/dev-tool products.
• Market & salary research — analyze demand by category, level and location.
