ZipRecruiter postings without the Partner API gating - one endpoint, normalized, no inbound feed contract.
Why people are confused about the ZipRecruiter API
ZipRecruiter has two API surfaces and neither fits an aggregator workflow. The Partner API is closed - you need a formal partnership agreement to get credentials, and that pathway is reserved for ATS vendors, HRIS platforms, and large staffing firms. The Publisher Feed is an outbound XML syndication feed that ZipRecruiter pushes to approved job aggregators, not a pull API you can hit on demand.
If you want ZipRecruiter postings as JSON in your own pipeline, your options have been scraping the search results (against ToS) or onboarding as a Publisher Feed recipient (months of paperwork and a content review). JobsPipe consolidates ZipRecruiter content with 30+ other sources and exposes it through one normalized endpoint.
Reserved for ATS vendors, HRIS platforms, and large staffing firms. Indie aggregators are not in scope.
ZipRecruiter pushes XML to you on their schedule. Months of paperwork, content review, and you have no control over which postings you receive.

ZipRecruiter Partner API
The ZipRecruiter Partner API is a closed program for ATS vendors, HRIS platforms, and large staffing organizations. You apply through ZipRecruiter's partnerships team, complete a business review, sign a partner agreement, and receive scoped credentials. The model fits 'we are a Workday-style platform and want to syndicate our customers' jobs onto ZipRecruiter' - not 'we are building a jobs aggregator and want to read ZipRecruiter content'. JobsPipe handles the latter case for you.
ZipRecruiter Publisher Feed
The Publisher Feed is an outbound XML feed that ZipRecruiter pushes to approved aggregator publishers on a schedule. To become a Publisher Feed recipient you fill out an application, agree to ZipRecruiter's content-display and click-tracking requirements, complete a review, and configure an inbound ingestion pipeline on your side. JobsPipe wraps that workflow and exposes the result as on-demand JSON in our normalized schema, alongside content from 30+ other sources.
