# JSearch alternative: a unified jobs API with better coverage

JSearch (on RapidAPI) covers 4-5 sources. JobsPipe covers 30+ ATSs, dedupes across them, and ships webhook delivery - without the RapidAPI markup.

JSearch (on RapidAPI) is the most-installed jobs API on RapidAPI’s jobs category. It covers Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and Bayt through a single endpoint. If you’ve ever “just used JSearch” for a prototype and then hit its limits in production - here’s the comparison.

## What JSearch is great at

-   Fast to integrate. One endpoint, RapidAPI key, done in 10 minutes.
-   Covers the major US boards in a single call.
-   RapidAPI pricing is predictable per-request.

## What it doesn’t do

-   **No ATS coverage** - Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, BambooHR are not in JSearch. If your product needs jobs from company-direct career pages (not just aggregators), you need a second vendor.
-   **No cross-source dedup** - the same job appears in every source it’s posted on. You handle the merge yourself.
-   **No webhooks** - JSearch is poll-only. For real-time, you build the polling layer yourself.
-   **RapidAPI markup** - the per-request rate stacks on top of RapidAPI’s platform fees.
-   **Sparse salary parsing** - JSearch returns whatever the upstream returns, which usually means salary as free text.

## Side by side

-   Sources: JSearch ~5, JobsPipe 30+ (Workday + every modern ATS + boards)
-   Dedup: JSearch none, JobsPipe cross-source canonicalization
-   Webhooks: JSearch no, JobsPipe yes (GA in v1.2)
-   Parsed salary: JSearch no, JobsPipe AI-parsed structured ranges
-   Pricing: JSearch RapidAPI metered, JobsPipe flat $49/mo for 100k req

JSearch is a fine prototype tool. When you’re ready to ship in production with normalized, deduped, real-time job data, JobsPipe is the next step.

Migrate from JSearch in an afternoon - same query shape.
