Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Jobo Enterprise Account

Sign up for free if you don’t have one yet.

API Key

Navigate to Settings → API Keys in the dashboard to generate your key.
Store your API key in an environment variable for easy use: bash export JOBO_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" # macOS/Linux set JOBO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Windows CMD $env:JOBO_API_KEY="your_api_key_here" # PowerShell

Get Started in 3 Steps

1

Install an SDK (optional)

Pick your language — or skip this step and use raw HTTP with cURL.
SDKs handle authentication, pagination, retries, and type safety for you. See the Client Libraries page for full details.
2

Make Your First Request

Search for software engineer jobs and retrieve five results:

Parse the Response

The API returns a JSON object with a jobs array and pagination metadata:

For the complete job schema including all available fields, see the Job Schema reference.

Common First Steps

Once your first request is working, try these common patterns:
Use the q parameter to do full-text search across job titles, company names, skills, and summaries. Wrap the value in double quotes (q="data scientist") for an exact, title-only phrase match.
Pass a location parameter to narrow results to a specific city, state, or country.
Set is_remote=true to return only remote-friendly positions.
Use page and page_size to iterate through large result sets. SDKs handle this automatically.
