jobs.search

beta Advanced needs a pack

Search job listings from many boards, with salary when published.

GET /v1/jobs/search

What you get#

A list of Jobs results in Onekey's unified shape, in data (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free 404 not_found instead.

Pagination: 10 results per page. The response carries a pagination block; send its next_cursor back as the cursor parameter to get the next page. Every page is one call at the price below. See Pagination.

What it costs#

Advanced · 5 credits for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).
Free if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`job_id`	`content.id`	-
`job_title`	`content.title`	-
`employer_name`	`listing.company`	-
`job_google_link`	`content.url`	`safeUrl`
`job_apply_link`	`listing.applyUrl`	`safeUrl`
`job_description`	`content.text`	-
`job_posted_at_datetime_utc`	`content.createdAt`	`toIsoDate`
`job_city`	`place.city`	-
`job_country`	`entity.country`	-
`job_is_remote`	`listing.remote`	`toBoolean`
`job_employment_type`	`listing.jobType`	-
`job_min_salary`	`listing.salary.min`	`toNumber`
`job_max_salary`	`listing.salary.max`	`toNumber`
`job_salary_currency`	`listing.salary.currency`	-
`job_salary_period`	`listing.salary.period`	-
`job_publisher`	`ext.publisher`	-

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 10 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 10 minutes and 1 hour the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 6 hours more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 2 minutes and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	Unknown endpoint path.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.
