When I first started building Arbeitnow, I had issues finding a proper Job Board API. As a software developer, I was always on the lookout for public APIs that can be used to build a side project, or to experiment with a new programming language. Today, I'm happy to open up a free Job Board API that contains some of the latest jobs in Europe.
If you are looking for a jobs aggregator, or api for job postings, you're at the right place.
Free Job Search API
You can find the Free Job Search API on the job board, requires no API key and API has been documented. This provides jobs from multiple job sources integrated in a consistent format, mostly from Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) such as
Greenhouse
SmartRecruiters
Join.com
Team Tailor
Recruitee
Comeet
Since the data is powered by these top Applicant Tracking Systems, this jobs API can provide you jobs data that is accurate and direct from the employers. Includes a field remote which indicates if the job posting is a remote job or not. This is suitable if you only want to display remote jobs.
To find jobs with visa sponsorship, you can use the parameter visa_sponsorship and set it to true or false. Example: https://www.arbeitnow.com/api/job-board-api?visa_sponsorship=true
Indeed API
One of the most sought after public job board API is from Indeed. Unfortunately, the Indeed API is no longer maintained and it requires a published account which we cannot obtain anymore. This may change in the future but currently, this is not an option.
Other Jobs Search APIs
While the Indeed API is one of the popular job board API, luckily for us, it's not the only one. Here's a great list of public job board APIs maintained on GitHub. For quick reference, I have included the list below.
