How we build, what we learn, what we ship.
Posts about indexing public job postings at scale, salary parsing, and the systems that keep one universal JSON schema feeling small even as the source list keeps growing.
Google for Jobs API: indexing in, and how to get data out
Google for Jobs is a search feature, not an API - and the phrase means two opposite things. Here is how to get your postings indexed with JobPosting structured data, and what to use when you want job data out.
Jobs API in Python: pip install to live postings in 5 minutes
The official jobspipe package on PyPI, a working search in eight lines, and the filters that matter - salary, remote, recency, country - plus free previews for sizing queries before you spend credits.
TheirStack alternatives: 5 job data APIs compared (2026)
We signed up for TheirStack and measured how it actually meters, previews, and rate-limits. Here is how it compares to JobsPipe, Techmap, Coresignal, and Fantastic.jobs - with live numbers, not brochure claims.
Techmap (jobdatafeeds) vs JobsPipe: bulk feeds or a live API?
Techmap sells job postings at $1 per 1,000 with a 405M-posting archive. JobsPipe is $1.16 per 1,000 with dedup, webhooks, and an MCP server. Which one fits depends on whether you are building a warehouse or a product.
LoopCV's developer API vs JobsPipe: same pitch, different product
LoopCV describes its jobs API almost exactly the way we describe ours: 30+ sources, deduplicated, one schema. The difference is what sits behind the endpoint - an auto-apply platform versus a data pipeline.
JobDataLake vs JobsPipe: two MCP-era jobs APIs compared
JobDataLake serves 1M+ AI-enriched listings from 20,000 companies with MCP access. JobsPipe holds 1.55M deduplicated active postings from 30+ sources. Here is where each one actually fits.
Fantastic.jobs vs JobsPipe: ATS job feeds compared
Fantastic.jobs ranks for nearly every ATS jobs API query and sells per-source feeds from $1 per 1,000. JobsPipe unifies the same ATSs behind one deduplicated schema. The comparison comes down to feeds versus an API.
SEEK API: what it does, what it cannot do, and how to get Australian jobs data
SEEK has a real, well-documented GraphQL API - and one sentence in its own docs ends most developers' search: it does not offer programmatic job search. The API is built for hirers posting ads and pulling applications back, not for reading the marketplace. What the four use cases actually cover, how partner access works, why the unofficial routes cost more than they look, and the numbers on 42,589 live Australian postings collected from sources that publish openly.
Salary datasets: 8 real sources beyond the Kaggle CSVs (2026)
Most of what ranks for salary dataset is a 30-row CSV built for teaching linear regression. If you need real numbers, the useful sources are public and current: BLS OEWS, H-1B disclosure files, ONS ASHE, the Stack Overflow survey - and the newest one, live job postings, where pay transparency laws now put a stated range on a third of everything posted. Every source compared on granularity, freshness and cost, plus how to build your own salary dataset from 300,000+ postings with structured pay.
