A job posting data API returns structured, refreshed job listings from employer career sites, ATS platforms, or job boards. This guide compares the field's published coverage, cadence, and pricing—including ours.
Provider figures are quoted from public pages; each provider section shows its own check date.
Every figure is the provider's own published claim. "Best" depends on what you are building—the per-provider notes below the table say which shape each one fits.

Provider details checked on the dates listed in each provider's section below, from their public pricing and product pages. Jobo figures come from the same data that renders our pricing page.
One neutral paragraph per provider, in their own published numbers. 'Best' depends on the shape of your product.
Fantastic.Jobs blends hourly-refreshed ATS career-site data with aggregated postings from LinkedIn, Wellfound, and Y Combinator, enriched by 20+ AI fields and matched company data. A six-month backfill API helps new job boards start populated. Plans run $95 to $750 per month with caps on both jobs and API requests, sold directly and through RapidAPI and Apify.
TheirStack pairs a job postings API with technographics and buying-intent data under one credit system, aimed at go-to-market teams that treat hiring as a sales signal. Its published archive reaches back to 2021 across 352k sources, and self-serve credit plans start at $49 per month with unused credits rolling over for 12 months.
Coresignal sells multi-source public-web data—468M+ job postings alongside 70M+ company records and 895M+ employee profiles—so jobs can be joined to firmographic and people data from one vendor. Bulk datasets ship in Parquet or JSONL with history since 2020. Credit plans start at $49 per month with a job posting costing one credit.
JobsPikr, from the makers of PromptCloud, positions itself as labor-market intelligence: deduplicated job feeds with ML enrichment—standardized titles, inferred salary, skills, seniority—plus dashboards and a job search API. History runs from 2019 and the platform carries ISO-27001 and GDPR compliance. Plan tiers are published in credits, but prices are quoted through sales.
JSearch, by OpenWeb Ninja, is a search API rather than a dataset: each request returns live postings and salary data drawn from Google for Jobs and the major boards. There is no bulk export or history, and plans meter requests—a free 200-request month, then $25 to $150 per month with per-request rates beyond—sold directly and on RapidAPI.
LinkUp indexes jobs exclusively and directly from employer websites—no boards, no aggregators—which is why it can claim precise counts, live source URLs, and accurate removal dates back to 2007. Data ships as datasets and feeds into Snowflake, the major clouds, or FTP, with jobs mapped to SOC/O*NET and companies to tickers. Pricing is custom, sold by demo.
Adzuna's developer API exposes the job search engine's aggregated ads together with analytical endpoints most providers lack: salary estimates, historical salary trends, regional vacancy data, and top-companies lists, returned as JSON, JSONP, or XML. Commercial terms are not published—access starts with a registered API key. A separate Labour Market Intelligence service covers historical and standardized data.
Bright Data sells pre-collected LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor postings as datasets, per-site scrapers, and a Jobs Data API, with the most flexible delivery machinery in this field: JSON, NDJSON, CSV, or Parquet into S3, Snowflake, Azure, Google Cloud, or SFTP on a schedule. Per-record economics start at $0.0025 with a $250 minimum order.
Four questions separate the field faster than any feature list.
Career-site-direct providers trace every listing to the employer that posted it; aggregator-inclusive providers add job-board volume from LinkedIn-class sources. Provenance matters for deduplication, compliance posture, and apply-link quality—volume matters for breadth. Decide which your product sells before comparing counts.
A job search product needs hourly refresh and expired-job tracking, or users apply to closed roles. Analytics and lead-generation products tolerate daily updates and care more about historical depth. Match the cadence to the use, not to the biggest number on a pricing page.
Most providers sell a pull API: you poll, paginate, and reconcile state. If the data's destination is your own PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, or search index, a provider that pushes on a sync cadence removes that entire layer of code. Jobo and the bulk-delivery tiers of other providers differ mainly here.
Compare per-job economics, not sticker prices: plans meter jobs, API requests, or both, and beyond-plan rates differ by provider. A quick test—divide the monthly price by the included jobs, then check what a retry or re-query costs. A rate like $3.00 per 1,000 jobs with requests left unbilled and a request-capped plan can price identical usage very differently.
