Use Cases

Why Developers Switch

LinkedIn’s official API is the obvious first choice for job data — until you hit the wall. Access is restricted to approved partners, the approval process takes weeks (and often ends in rejection), and pricing starts in the thousands per month. Most developers never get in, and the ones who do are locked into rigid terms that limit what they can build.

The Jobs Search API takes a different path. Google Jobs indexes listings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, company career pages, and thousands of other sources — and this API gives you structured access to that entire index. Same job data, no approval required, and a free tier to start building today.
