The headline is about company job boards being accessible via public JSON APIs. Let me rewrite this concisely.

Original: Most company job boards are just a public JSON API you can GET

Short summary

Most company job boards are backed by public, unauthenticated JSON APIs from four major ATS platforms: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and SmartRecruiters. Each uses a per-company slug in a predictable URL pattern, returning full job descriptions in a single GET. The article provides exact endpoint shapes, gotchas (Greenhouse double-encodes HTML, SmartRecruiters needs N+1 requests), and normalizer code to unify all four into one record shape.

  • Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and SmartRecruiters all expose public JSON job-board APIs keyed by company slug
  • Ashby provides the richest structured data including compensation bands and remote flags
  • A thin per-provider normalizer unifies all sources into a single record shape

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
