Frequently Asked Questions

Is CORS Enabled?

No, we discourage calling this API from the front-end of your application.

How does deduplication work?

Our intention is to provide you with as much raw job data as possible, therefore we only do two types of deduplication on our end:

• Every job in our database is unique on their URL. There are some exceptions to this since some ATS can have jobs that are 100% duplicate between several sites. Generally speaking we will provide the jobs as is, even if the ATS posts multiple versions of the job with just a difference in location (common for Greenhouse)
• We have a parameter to remove ATS duplicates from the JB endpoint. We flag jobs in active-jb that are already present in active-ats using two checks: title + organization name, and title + LinkedIn company-profile match. Set exclude_ats_duplicate=true to drop the flagged duplicates from the response. This will not remove 100% of the duplicates so we recommend adding another layer of fuzzy deduplication on your end.

How many Job Titles / Companies / Locations can I include in my request?

All the characters in the request should be less than 10,000 characters

What is the timeout for an API request?

An API request will timeout after 60 seconds. If your requests timeout regularly we recommend using a smaller time_frame on active-ats or active-jb (e.g. 1h or 24h instead of 6m). We also recommend avoiding description searches with time_frame=6m, or being very specific if you do need them - on active-jb description search is not allowed at all when time_frame=6m and will return a 400 error.
