“Best **jobs API**” pulls up a dozen vendors with very different coverage, pricing, and target customers. This is an honest side-by-side of the five most common picks in 2026, with the caveats that vendor comparison posts usually leave out.

## How we picked the five

We pulled the five vendors that come up most often when developers ask “jobs API” on r/dataengineering, on RapidAPI’s jobs category, and in HN comment threads from the last 12 months. That’s JSearch, Coresignal, Adzuna, ScrapingDog, and JobsPipe.

## Side-by-side

Headline numbers, not exhaustive. Always check the vendor’s current docs before committing.

-   **JSearch (RapidAPI)** - covers ~5 sources (LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, Bayt). RapidAPI pricing applies (~$0.001/req on Basic). No webhooks, no dedup. Good for prototypes.
-   **Coresignal** - enterprise-grade, claims 600M+ job records historical. Pricing starts at ~$1k/mo + per-credit charges after that. Sales-led; expect a 2-week procurement cycle. Organic traffic _down 38% YoY_, which is worth knowing.
-   **Adzuna** - UK-origin job-board aggregator with a public API. Free tier (1,000 calls/mo). Strong UK/Europe coverage, thinner US. Returns aggregated counts well; weaker on full per-job detail.
-   **ScrapingDog** - a generic web-scraping API; their Indeed/LinkedIn endpoints are wrappers around scraping. $30/mo entry tier. You own data normalization yourself.
-   **JobsPipe** - 30+ ATS + job-board sources, normalized schema, cross-source dedup, real-time webhooks, AI-parsed salaries. Free tier with monthly credits, paid from $49/mo. Self-serve, no sales call required.

## Choosing

-   Need it tonight, fine with rough data → JSearch.
-   Six-figure budget, want historical bulk data → Coresignal.
-   UK/EU focus, low volume → Adzuna.
-   Just need one site scraped, willing to build normalization → ScrapingDog.
-   Building a production product, want a normalized schema and cross-source dedup without paying enterprise pricing → JobsPipe.

For most teams shipping in 2026, the cost of _not_ having cross-source dedup is the hidden one. Three sources × the same job = three calls to your downstream LLM, three rows in your customer’s ATS, three notification emails. The dedup is what makes the API actually usable.
