A free API for daily open-role counts at software companies, with one day of history
Описание и применение
API предоставляет ежедневные данные о количестве открытых вакансий в нескольких сотнях софтверных компаний, используя публичные доски объявлений. Доступно одно число за день, без хранения текста объявлений. API бесплатен, но имеет ограниченную историю и возможные погрешности из‑за ограничений досок.
Задача
Need a lightweight, free way to track daily open role counts for software companies without storing sensitive data.
Результат
The API delivers daily open role counts for a limited set of companies, with one day of history available. Accuracy is high (12/13 boards matched), but some boards cap displayed counts, leading to discrepancies.
Рабочий процесс
- 1. Request a free API key by POSTing email to /v1/key.
- 2. Receive a one-time key via email.
- 3. Use the key in the x-api-key header to query company data at /v1/company/{company}.
- 4. Optionally query changes for a specific day at /v1/changes?day=YYYY-MM-DD.
- 5. Remove a company from the dataset by POSTing to /v1/removal.
Доказательства
Every day a scheduled job reads the public Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job boards of a few hundred software companies and stores one number per company: how many roles are open.
I checked 13 boards by hand against the live pages: 12 matched, and one showed 50 roles on its embedded page against 72 from the API because the page caps its list.
Ask for a free key with your email address. A link comes back that shows the key once. Send it as an x-api-key header.
