I Built a Free REST API That Aggregates 330 Remote Jobs From 5 Sources in Real-Time

说明与用途

创建了一个免费 REST API，实时聚合来自五个来源的 330+ 远程职位，统一规范数据，去重，并提供单一开放端点。

问题

Developers need to search remote jobs across multiple boards but each board has a different format and no unified API.

结果

The API delivers 330+ live remote jobs from five sources in real time, with unified schema, deduplication, and filtering, available without an API key.

工作流

• 1. Scrape each source every 30 minutes using scheduled scrapers.
• 2. Normalize job data into a common schema.
• 3. Deduplicate jobs using exact title + company + fuzzy location match.
• 4. Cache normalized jobs in memory.
• 5. Serve jobs via GET /v1/jobs with query parameters for skills, source, min_score, limit, and format.
• 6. Provide health and source listing endpoints.
• 7. Offer paid tier with per-key rate limits via Stripe.

证据

I built a production REST API that pulls live remote job listings from 5 different job boards, normalizes them into a single schema, deduplicates, and serves them through one clean endpoint.

来源

The dedup is the hard part. The same job often appears on 2-3 boards with slightly different titles. I use a combination of exact title match + company name + location fuzzy match to collapse duplicates.
