Does Indeed have an API?

Indeed no longer offers a public job search API. The Publisher API and the XML feed that let developers query Indeed's listings were retired, and what remains is for approved partners: Indeed Apply for receiving applications, Disposition Sync for reporting outcomes, and GraphQL partner APIs for managing jobs and campaigns. Reading Indeed's job index is not among them.

Every surviving Indeed API points toward Indeed rather than out of it. Indeed Apply lets an applicant tracking system receive candidates who applied on Indeed. Disposition Sync sends hiring outcomes back so Indeed can measure its own funnel. The partner GraphQL APIs let a job board or ATS push jobs, manage sponsored campaigns and read its own account data. Access comes through a partner application and a review that weighs what traffic you would send Indeed, and tutorials that still show a publisher id and a jobs query describe a program that no longer accepts anyone.

Developers who want postings rather than an apply flow use an aggregator that reads Indeed's public pages. JobsPipe collects Indeed's public job index, records each posting's first and last sighting, and returns it through the jobs search endpoint with source_or set to indeed. Records carry the same fields as every other collected board: job_title, company, date_posted, discovered_at, last_seen_at, status with closed_at once a listing comes down, ghost_score and technology_slugs parsed from the description. Indeed mixes direct employer postings with staffing-agency listings and reposts, so max_ghost_score and posted_at_max_age_days earn their keep on Indeed rows.

The chart below shows the share of each collected board's active postings flagged as remote. Indeed sits near the bottom, alongside LinkedIn and SmartRecruiters, while the startup-heavy boards read from Lever, Y Combinator and Ashby carry far higher remote shares. That is a difference in who posts where, not in how the boards are collected, and it is worth knowing before filtering Indeed with remote set to true. The free tier returns 1,000 jobs a month and the sandbox needs no key.

The full treatment is on Job board and ATS APIs.
