This console sends a real request and shows you the real response. Five live fetches per session, and the sample targets run as often as you like.
What one call returns
| Target | Fields you get back |
|---|---|
| Company page | name, industry, size band, headquarters, founded, website, description, follower count |
| Job posting | title, company, location, work model, seniority, employment type, posted date, description text |
| Job search | the list of postings for a query and a location, with position and posting identifier |
Anything behind authentication is out of scope. The API forwards no credentials, holds no accounts and does not attempt to view what a signed in visitor would see, and that limit is deliberate rather than technical.
What the data is worth
Job postings are the fastest public signal a company emits about its own plans. Collected hourly across an industry, they show which teams are growing, in which cities, with which technologies and at what salary band. That is the product of every hiring analytics vendor, and the collection layer is the part they buy rather than build, as described on the web crawling tools page.
- Hourly schedules, because a posting that disappears is itself the signal.
- Deduplication across boards, so the same role posted three times counts once.
- Company career pages crawled with the website scraper alongside the public listings.
Read this before you store it
People data is personal data, and public availability does not remove the obligations that come with it. Under GDPR and its equivalents you need a lawful basis to keep it, a retention period, a way to answer an access request and a plan for deletion. Individual profile data raises those obligations sharply, which is why this endpoint is aimed at company pages and job postings rather than at people.
The platform terms you accepted, if you have an account and accepted them, can bind you by contract regardless of what the law allows. The discussion with the case law is in is web scraping legal. None of it is legal advice, and the decision about what you collect stays yours.
