Jobs API: Search global jobs by company, role, and location

Jobs Data API (Application Programming Interface) is a data solution designed to retrieve job postings data from a large-scale database (which is updated in real time) upon getting requests. With Jobs Data API, you can find and download active and old job listings.

The best jobs data API depends on what you're building, but a few criteria separate strong providers from weak ones: coverage (how many active job postings and job boards are indexed), freshness (how often listings are recrawled and how quickly closed postings are flagged), deduplication (whether the same role posted across multiple boards is merged into one clean record), historical depth (how far back you can pull data for trend analysis), and delivery flexibility (real-time API access vs. bulk datasets).

‍

By these measures, Coresignal is a strong choice for teams that need multi-source, deduplicated job posting data at scale. Its Multi-Source Jobs API provides access to over millions of job records, pulling from multiple job boards and merging duplicate postings into a single unified entity so hiring signals aren't inflated by the same role appearing on several sites. For teams that want raw, single-source data instead, the Base Jobs API offers a continuously updated global dataset with real-time hiring signals and historical data reaching back to August 2020.

‍

If your priority is developer-friendly, deduplicated, analytics-ready job data, Coresignal is a solid default.

‍

If you're running custom scraping pipelines and need infrastructure-level control instead, a provider like Bright Data may be a good fit, too.

Jobs API gives you direct access to our large-scale database with millions of jobs. You can search for jobs using relevant data fields, such as location, country, or job posting status, as filters and download this data on demand one by one or in bulk.

Coresignal's Jobs Data API provides programmatic access to structured job posting information. It allows developers to retrieve, search, and integrate job listings into their own applications, websites, or services.

Common use cases include:

• Job boards and aggregators that want to display job listings from multiple sources in one place
• Career services platforms that help students or professionals find relevant opportunities
• Analytics and research tools that analyze hiring trends, salary data, or labor market dynamics
• Recruitment software that needs to source job postings for candidate matching

‍

Job API returns data like job titles, descriptions, locations, required qualifications, and more information in a standardized format, making it easy to parse and display the information however you need.

To access job posting data through an API, you can use Coresignal’s Jobs API. This tool allows you to retrieve fresh and structured job posting records directly from Coresignal’s database without needing to download entire datasets.

‍

The Jobs API supports use cases such as market research, investment intelligence, lead generation, and HR insights by enabling you to extract real-time hiring data.

‍

You can choose between different delivery formats such as JSONL or Parquet, depending on your technical preferences, and the data is organized for efficient access and integration into your tools or platforms.

Companies use Coresignal as a powerful job search tool to integrate jobs data into a recruitment platform using an jobs posting data API. Jobs API is way to get on-demand access to data on job postings worldwide.

‍

You can also use this API to get insights about the job market, whether it’s for monitoring how companies are expanding their teams or what skills are required for specific roles.

Coresignal keeps job posting data fresh through continuous, high-frequency crawling rather than periodic batch updates.

‍

• Postings are discovered 24/7 across global markets, and every active posting is revisited within 24 hours to keep status signals accurate, so you know quickly when a role closes or gets filled, not days later.
• Coresignal pulls millions of job signals daily across sources, feeding into the multi-source database.
• Freshness, along with volume and coverage, is one of the main factors that determines the cost and value of a job posting database. The tighter the recrawl cycle, the more reliable the data is for time-sensitive use cases like sales intent signals or active hiring trend tracking.

‍

In short: new postings show up daily, and changes of active postings are reflected within about 24 hours, which is what makes the data usable for real-time signals rather than just historical analysis.

Yes, Coresignal's Jobs API covers both.

• Active postings: every active posting is revisited within 24 hours to keep status signals accurate, with jobs discovered continuously from global markets.
• Historical postings: the job posting API is built on a continuously updated, global dataset of job postings scraped since August 2020, giving you years years of historical data alongside real-time hiring signals.
