Lever Jobs API: every open job from any Lever job board

Lever powers the careers pages of thousands of companies, and exposes a free, public, keyless JSON endpoint behind them. Here’s how to use it, with the pitfalls we hit running it against real companies.

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.
