Job Board APIs: get jobs from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday & more (free, no API key)

Most companies host their careers page on an applicant tracking system (ATS). Seven of the most common ones expose public, keyless JSON endpoints that power those careers pages, so you can pull every open job straight from the employer, live, without scraping HTML.

This guide documents each endpoint with copy-paste examples, pagination rules, and the gotchas we hit while running them against thousands of real companies.

ATS	Find the slug in	Endpoint	Pagination	Salary
Greenhouse	`boards.greenhouse.io/{slug}`	`GET boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{slug}/jobs`	none (all jobs)	rarely
Lever	`jobs.lever.co/{slug}`	`GET api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}?mode=json`	none	sometimes
Ashby	`jobs.ashbyhq.com/{slug}`	`GET api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/{slug}`	none	often
Workday	`{tenant}.wd{N}.myworkdayjobs.com/{site}`	`POST …/wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs`	20/page, max 2,000	no
SmartRecruiters	`jobs.smartrecruiters.com/{slug}`	`GET api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/{slug}/postings`	100/page	no
Recruitee	`{slug}.recruitee.com`	`GET {slug}.recruitee.com/api/offers/`	none	sometimes
Workable	`apply.workable.com/{slug}`	`POST apply.workable.com/api/v3/accounts/{slug}/jobs`	token	no

Be a good citizen: these endpoints exist so careers pages and job boards can display postings. Cache results, keep request rates modest, link back to the original posting, and don’t collect personal data.

Greenhouse

curl "https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/airbnb/jobs?content=true"

import html, httpx
jobs = httpx.get("https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/airbnb/jobs", params={"content": "true"}).json()["jobs"]
for j in jobs:
    print(j["title"], "|", j["location"]["name"], "|", j["absolute_url"])
    description_html = html.unescape(j["content"])  # content is entity-escaped HTML

Gotchas

content=true includes full descriptions but makes large boards several MB (Airbnb is ~2.7 MB). Omit it to list titles cheaply, then fetch one job with …/jobs/{id}.
content is double-encoded (<p>): html.unescape it before parsing.
absolute_url often points at the company’s own careers site, which may block bots; the Greenhouse job URL redirects there too.

Lever

curl "https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/palantir?mode=json"

Gotchas

EU customers live on api.eu.lever.co. Try it when the US host returns 404.
createdAt is a millisecond timestamp. salaryRange (min, max, currency, interval) is present when the company publishes pay.
The description is split across descriptionPlain, lists[] (requirements and so on, as HTML) and additionalPlain.

Ashby

curl "https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/ramp?includeCompensation=true"

Gotchas

isRemote is true for hybrid roles too. Use workplaceType (Remote / Hybrid / OnSite) instead. In our tests ~45% of “isRemote” jobs were actually hybrid.
With includeCompensation=true, compensation.compensationTiers[].components[] holds salary components. A posting can have several tiers (by level or location): take the min of minValue and max of maxValue across Salary components, or you’ll report the wrong range.
Filter out isListed: false.

Workday

curl -X POST "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/nvidia/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/jobs" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"appliedFacets":{},"limit":20,"offset":0,"searchText":""}'

Gotchas

You need the full careers URL: tenant (nvidia), shard (wd5) and site (NVIDIAExternalCareerSite). Names aren’t unique, so slugs alone don’t work.
limit maxes at 20; total is only returned on the first page; results stop at 2,000.
List items have only relative dates ("Posted 3 Days Ago") and "6 Locations". Fetch GET …/{site}{externalPath} for the real startDate, all locations and the description.
Bursts from cloud IPs get rate-limited with HTML error pages: limit concurrency (~4) and retry with backoff.

SmartRecruiters

curl "https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/BoschGroup/postings?limit=100&offset=0"

Gotchas

Unknown companies return 200 with totalFound: 0, not 404.
Descriptions need a second call to each posting’s ref URL (jobAd.sections).
Big employers have thousands of postings (Bosch: 5,000+). Fetch pages in parallel once you know totalFound.

Recruitee

curl "https://bunq.recruitee.com/api/offers/"

Gotcha: dates look like 2026-10-27 12:11:34 UTC, which isn’t ISO 8601. Most date parsers reject them unless you normalize first.

Workable

curl -X POST "https://apply.workable.com/api/v3/accounts/huggingface/jobs" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{"query":"","location":[],"department":[],"worktype":[],"remote":[]}'

Gotchas

Paginate by sending nextPage back as token.
Descriptions: GET apply.workable.com/api/v2/accounts/{slug}/jobs/{shortcode}. Company name: GET …/api/v1/accounts/{slug}.
Prefer workplace (remote/hybrid/on_site) over the boolean remote.

Finding which ATS a company uses

Open the company’s careers page and click a job. The URL usually reveals the ATS and slug (job-boards.greenhouse.io/stripe/…, jobs.lever.co/palantir/…). With only a name, try the slug against each endpoint above and keep the board with the most open jobs: the same slug can exist on several platforms as a stale or test board.

Don’t want to build and maintain this?

Every gotcha above is handled in ready-made tools (disclosure: built by the author of this guide):

ATS Jobs Scraper: all 7 platforms, auto-detect, one normalized format. $1 per 1,000 jobs.
Tech & Startup Job Search: keyword search across 4,400+ company career pages, no company list needed.
Hiring Companies Finder: which companies are hiring for a role, ranked by matching openings.
Salary Data from Job Postings: published pay ranges only.
Jobs API on RapidAPI: GET /company and GET /detect over HTTP.
