Frequently Asked Questions

1. What job boards are included in your API?

Our API aggregates job listings from over 4,000 job boards worldwide, including major platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and many specialized industry job boards. We continuously monitor and add new job boards to ensure comprehensive coverage.

You can find a list of supported job boards in our job boards directory.

2. Why don't all job listings have the same properties/fields?

Job listings may have varying properties for several reasons:

  • Different job boards provide different levels of detail in their listings
  • Some information might be behind authentication or require additional processing
  • Certain fields might be temporarily unavailable due to technical limitations
  • Job boards may structure their data differently, requiring normalization

We standardize all available data into a consistent format, but some fields may be null or empty when the source doesn't provide that information. This is normal and expected in job aggregation services.

3. How do you ensure data quality and accuracy?

We maintain high data quality through several measures:

  • Regular validation of job listings against source data
  • Automated duplicate detection and removal
  • Spam and fraudulent listing filtering
  • Continuous monitoring of data freshness
  • Regular updates to our data normalization rules
  • Quality checks on salary ranges and required fields

We regularly monitor job listings. Each API response includes the original source URL so you can verify the listing details directly.

4. How often is the job data updated?

Our job database is updated continuously through multiple methods:

  • Real-time updates from job board feeds and APIs
  • 24/7 crawling of public job listings
  • Direct submissions from job boards
  • Manual verification and updates by our team

Most job listings are updated within hours of being posted on the source job board. However, update frequency may vary depending on the source and the type of listing.
