Google Jobs API: Job listings, salaries and every apply link Google Jobs shows.

This Google Jobs API returns the job listings Google shows for a search, with the title, company, location, the job board it came from, when it was posted, employment type, the salary text and parsed range, the description highlights and every application link, as clean JSON rows. Search by role and place in any country Google Jobs covers.

Google Jobs API: questions

Is there an official Google Jobs API?

No. Google's Cloud Talent Solution lets employers and job boards search their own listings, but there is no public API for the Google Jobs results people see in search. This one reads those public results and returns them as data.

How many jobs does one search return?

Up to ten jobs from Google's first response for each query, and up to 20 queries a run. Run one query per city or role to cover more.

Which countries work?

Set the two-letter country code (us, gb, za, de and so on) and write the query the way a local job seeker would. Results come back in English or German.

Does it include the full job description?

It includes the description and highlights Google shows, plus every application link so you can open the original posting.
