README
The perfect API for job boards and other platforms requiring high-quality open job listings.
Candidates are taken directly to the employer’s career site or ATS, providing the best user experience.
This database contains active jobs from over 10,000 organizations and is updated 4 times per day.
Do you wish to retrieve jobs beyond the limits of this API? Please reach out to remco@fantastic.jobs for any custom requests, including: large job feeds (XML/JSON), complex queries, firehose, LinkedIn jobs, and more.

-
New jobs are added to the API 4 times per day at 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC
-
Expired jobs are removed once per day and should no longer appear in the 6:00 refresh. Please note that some jobs might slip trough our expiration checks. Let us know if there’s a source where you see this regularly!
-
We will add new sources regularly, please check every once in a while if you apply additional filters on source.
-
All jobs in the database are unique based on their URL. However, organizations occasionally create duplicates themselves. More commonly, organizations sometimes create the same job listing for multiple cities or states. If you wish to create a rich and unique dataset, we recommend further deduplication on title + organization, or title + organization + locations
Search
Our database can be searched with the following syntax:
For all searches, include wfts. (with the dot (.) included)
Job searches are limited to 100 jobs per API call. You can easily extend your search by using the ‘offset’ parameter.
Title
| Query | Result |
|---|---|
| wfts.Software | All jobs including software in the job title |
| wfts.Software Engineer | All jobs including ‘software’ AND ‘engineer’ in the job title |
| wfts.“Software Engineer” | All jobs including ‘software’ AND ‘engineer’ in order in the job title |
| wfts.Software OR Engineer | All jobs including ‘software’ OR ‘engineer’ in the job title |
Location
You can use the same syntax as Title for searches on Location. Please make sure to search on the full name of the location, abbreviations are not supported.
- For US, please search on United States
- For UK, please search on United Kingdom
- For states in the United States, please search on their full name, like “New York”
Organization
You can use the same syntax as Title for searches on Organization. Please note that all searches are fuzzy, this might result in inclusion of organizations with similar names.
Depending on the ATS, the organization can include other details like location/office. Especially Workday!
Output
The API’s output is a json array. We’re currently working on CSV output, stay tuned!
Jobs are ordered on ‘dateposted’ ascending. Resulting in the most recent jobs being first in the array. Please note that our scrapers don’t necessarily find jobs in order of dateposted.
