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.
How to build a tech job board in 2026
Developers, data and design roles reward a board that filters hard on stack and seniority. Where tech jobs live (YC, Lever, Ashby, Greenhouse, and the Hacker News Who Is Hiring thread nobody parses well), how to enrich listings with the tech stack behind each company, and the filtering that makes a tech board worth returning to.
How to build a startup job board in 2026
Startup roles move fast and close faster, so a startup job board is a freshness problem before it's anything else. Where early-stage jobs come from (Y Combinator, Wellfound-style companies, funding-round hires), how to catch new postings within minutes, and how to turn a hiring signal into a board that VCs, operators and candidates all check.
Adzuna API: the free jobs API developers find first - a field guide
Adzuna's genuinely free jobs API - 1,000 calls/month, 16+ countries - reviewed honestly next to JobsPipe's own free tier and no-key sandbox. The endpoints nobody reads about, the salary analytics, and the 14-day commercial-trial trap in the terms.
Google Jobs API: why it doesn't exist, and what to use instead
Developers search for a Google Jobs API every day, but Google for Jobs is a search feature, not an API. What Cloud Talent Solution actually does (and why it isn't what you want), how SERP APIs read the jobs box, and how to get the same postings from the layer Google itself crawls.
USAJOBS API: the free federal jobs API, explained for developers
USAJOBS runs one of the best truly free jobs APIs anywhere - documented, keyed in minutes, no billing page. How auth works (the User-Agent trick), what the search endpoint returns, the federal-only boundary most tutorials skip, and how to combine it with private-sector sources.
The best jobs APIs in 2026: 15 options compared
The best jobs API depends on what you're building. A complete, honest 2026 comparison - JobsPipe, JSearch, Coresignal, Adzuna, SerpApi, the free Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby endpoints, USAJOBS, scraping APIs and more - on coverage, freshness, pricing, and the one thing pricing tables skip: deduplication.
Which ATS APIs are actually public? The 2026 job-data reference
Almost every ATS has an API - the question is whether you can read a company's public postings without being its customer. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and SmartRecruiters are open; Workday, iCIMS, BambooHR and most others are gated. Where all 30+ land, and what it means for aggregating job data.
Taleo API: pulling job postings from Oracle's legacy ATS
Taleo's own API is customer-scoped, and its public postings live across three different career-site URL patterns and HTML schemas with their own bot detection. Why Taleo is high-maintenance to read, and how to pull every Taleo career site through one jobs API.
Jobvite API: what you can pull, and the feed most customers never enable
Jobvite has a REST API and a job feed - but the API is per-customer and the feed is off by default, and most customers never turn it on. Why there's no reliable public Jobvite surface, and how to pull Jobvite postings across every career site through one jobs API.
