JSearch - Google for Jobs Search API

JSearch is a fast, reliable, and comprehensive job search API for real-time job listings and salary data aggregated from Google for Jobs and the open web, including LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Monster, CareerBuilder, SimplyHired and many others. It is built for developers, HR platforms, recruiting tools, career sites, and researchers who need up-to-date job market data.

It returns live job postings with titles, descriptions, requirements, locations, employer details, apply links, and estimated or company-specific salaries.

This actor runs the same JSearch API that thousands of developers use on RapidAPI and OpenWeb Ninja, with the same endpoints, parameters and output.

What you can do with it

• Build job boards and career sites with fresh postings from every major job site
• Feed ATS and recruiting tools with live openings by title, location, seniority and remote status
• Benchmark salaries by job title, location and experience, or for a specific company
• Track hiring at target companies for sales prospecting and market research
• Analyse the job market: demand by role, skill, region and employment type

Endpoints
