Job Search API: Career Site Jobs from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable & more

Search 400,000+ open jobs posted directly on 13,000+ company career sites, and filter by job title, country, remote, date and ATS platform. Results come back in one clean, consistent JSON schema with salary (where the employer publishes it), apply links and optional full descriptions. Each match is verified live against the company's career site, so closed jobs are dropped. Alert mode returns only jobs that are new since your last run.

You get first-party jobs from the employer's own applicant tracking system (ATS), so there are no reposts, no aggregator spam and no LinkedIn or Indeed scraping. The price is $2 per 1,000 jobs, and you pay only for jobs returned.

What you can do with it

• Job boards and niche job sites: fill your board with fresh, original postings, e.g. "remote Python jobs in Europe posted this week".
• Job alerts and newsletters: schedule the Actor daily with alert mode on, and send only the new jobs.
• Recruiting and sales intelligence: see which companies are hiring for a role or in a country right now.
• Labor-market research: track hiring by title, country, salary range and platform.
• AI job-matching apps and agents: feed structured job data into your pipeline through the Apify API or MCP.

Greenhouse jobs API, Lever jobs API and Ashby jobs API in one search

Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Personio and SmartRecruiters each publish a free public job-board API, but every API is per company: you need to know the company's board slug first, and each one returns a different JSON format. This Actor does the hard part for you. It keeps a daily index of 13,000+ company boards, normalizes every job into one schema, and lets you search all of them at once by job title, country, remote and posting date, like a job search engine with an API. Use it as a job postings API, a hiring-data feed, or a LinkedIn-jobs alternative built only on first-party employer postings.

Coverage

ATS / career-site platform	Career sites indexed	Open jobs (index of Oct 2026)
Greenhouse	~4,850	~180,000
Workable	~1,750	~83,000
Lever	~1,700	~72,000
Ashby	~3,000	~57,000
Recruitee	~990	~17,500
Personio	~830	~9,500
SmartRecruiters	7 large employers (Bosch, ServiceNow, AbbVie…) + any company via extraCompanyBoards	~6,800

The index is rebuilt from the official public job-board APIs of each ATS. The SEARCH_SUMMARY record of every run shows the exact index date and size. Need a company that isn't covered? Add it as greenhouse:airbnb, lever:company, smartrecruiters:Visa and so on in Extra company career sites, and it is fetched live.

How it works

1. Search the index. Your filters run against a compact index of every open job on the covered career sites. This takes a few seconds.
2. Verify live. The career sites behind the newest matches are re-fetched now through each ATS's public API. Closed jobs are removed, new ones are added, and salary and descriptions are filled in. Each row has dataSource: "live" or "index".
3. Alert mode (optional). The Actor remembers which jobs it already returned for this search, in a named key-value store in your account, and returns only new ones.

Input examples

Remote data engineering jobs posted in the last 3 days:

{ "keywords": ["data engineer", "analytics engineer"], "remoteOnly": true, "postedWithinDays": 3, "maxJobs": 500 }

Product manager jobs in Germany or the UK, with descriptions:

{ "keywords": ["product manager"], "locations": ["Germany", "United Kingdom"], "postedWithinDays": 14, "includeDescription": true }

Daily job alert (schedule it in Apify; each run returns only the new jobs):

{ "keywords": ["machine learning engineer"], "locations": ["US"], "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true, "alertId": "ml-us", "postedWithinDays": 30, "maxJobs": 1000 }

Everything a few companies have open (plus SmartRecruiters companies):

{ "keywords": [], "companies": ["stripe", "notion"], "extraCompanyBoards": ["smartrecruiters:Ubisoft2"], "postedWithinDays": 0 }

Filter rules

• keywords: a job matches if its title contains all words of any keyword, in any order. "data engineer" matches "Senior Engineer, Data Platform".
• excludeKeywords: drops titles containing any of these words, e.g. intern, senior, manager.
• locations: country names or ISO codes (Germany, DE, USA) match the detected country. Other text (Berlin, EMEA, Remote - Europe) matches the location string.
• remoteOnly, postedWithinDays, companies, ats, employmentTypes (full-time, part-time, contract, intern).

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read it from the API.

Run it from code: API, Python, JavaScript or cURL

Every Apify Actor is also a REST API. Get your token in Apify Console under Settings → API & Integrations, then:

cURL (runs the Actor and returns the matching jobs in one call):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/saadhazz~career-site-job-search/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["data engineer"], "remoteOnly": true, "postedWithinDays": 3, "maxJobs": 100}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("saadhazz/career-site-job-search").call(run_input={"keywords": ["data engineer"], "remoteOnly": true, "postedWithinDays": 3, "maxJobs": 100})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js (npm i apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('saadhazz/career-site-job-search').call({"keywords": ["data engineer"], "remoteOnly": true, "postedWithinDays": 3, "maxJobs": 100});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Use it with AI agents (MCP), Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets

• AI agents and LLM apps: connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client to https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=saadhazz/career-site-job-search and the agent can call this Actor as a tool.
• No-code: use the official Apify integrations for Make, Zapier and n8n, or export the dataset straight to Google Sheets, CSV, Excel or JSON.
• Scheduling and webhooks: create a Schedule in Apify Console (e.g. every morning) and add a webhook or Slack/email integration to get notified when new data is ready.

Pricing

$2.00 per 1,000 jobs returned ($0.002 per job). Filtered-out jobs, failed sites and runs with zero results cost nothing beyond Apify platform usage. Set Max jobs or a maximum charge per run to control spend, and the Actor stops cleanly at your limit.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads only the public job-board APIs that Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Personio and SmartRecruiters provide so that companies can publish their openings on other sites. No login, no personal data, no anti-bot workarounds. Results contain job postings only, and recruiter names or emails are never collected.

How fresh is it? The index is rebuilt regularly (the date is in SEARCH_SUMMARY), and with Verify matches live (the default) the jobs you get are checked against the career site at run time.

Why did a job I see on a company site not appear? The company may use an ATS we don't index yet, or the job title may not contain your keyword. Add the company in extraCompanyBoards or broaden your keywords.

Can I use it from code, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent? Yes. Use the Apify API, the integrations, or the Apify MCP server.

Is there a free job search API? The ATS job-board APIs are free but only work one company at a time. This Actor searches all indexed companies in one call for $2 per 1,000 jobs, and new Apify accounts get free monthly platform credit, enough for thousands of jobs.

How do I get all jobs from Greenhouse (or Lever, or Ashby)? Set Career-site platforms (ATS) to greenhouse (or lever, ashby), leave keywords empty, set postedWithinDays to 0 and raise maxJobs. For one known company, use the company filter or the sister ATS Jobs API.

How much does 10,000 jobs cost? $20 at $2 per 1,000 jobs, plus a few cents of Apify platform usage. You only pay for jobs actually returned.

Do you include LinkedIn or Indeed jobs? No. Only jobs that employers publish on their own career sites. That means no reposts and no expired aggregator copies, and no scraping of sites that forbid it.

Can I build a job board or job alert newsletter with it? Yes, that is the main use case. Schedule a daily run with alert mode on, push new jobs to your database, and link each job to its applyUrl.
