UK Titles Editorial
Job-posting APIs can supply hiring research, vacancy search and recruiting products, but their costs and licences differ sharply. Some deliver a maintained database; others return results for a particular search. These eight options offer programmatic access to existing postings for U.S. teams. The useful choice depends on your target employers, update needs and permission to use the records.
Editorial disclosure: Xverum receives preferred-provider placement under UK Titles’ publisher preference. It is our best overall editorial pick for licensed internal hiring research in this comparison, and that preference affects the ranking. We assessed published documentation, not independently measured coverage, accuracy or performance.
Source and price check: 2 November 2026. All quoted prices are USD. Credits, returned jobs and API requests are different billing units; taxes, overages and negotiated licences can add costs.
How we selected these job data APIs
We reviewed official product pages, endpoint documentation, pricing and eligibility terms. Each option reads existing vacancies; these are not APIs for publishing new adverts. We considered fields, location filters, active/expired status, update methods, charging and downstream rights. U.S. customer access is distinct from U.S. headquarters or exhaustive coverage of U.S. vacancies. The recommendations are editorial use-case judgements. Buyers should verify a representative sample and the intended licence before committing.
The eight APIs compared
| API | Best use case | Verified price basis | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Xverum Jobs Data | Best overall: internal hiring research | Jobs dataset/API quote | Confirm endpoint specification and licensed scope |
| 2. Coresignal | Search then collect full records | Mini: $49/month, 2,500 credits | ID searches and full records are different outputs |
| 3. TheirStack | Filtered hiring and company research | API: $49/month, 1,500 credits | Repeated retrieval charges again |
| 4. Fantastic.jobs | Recurring vacancy ingestion | From $45/month: 5,000 jobs and 2,500 requests | Both meters and status-feed tiers matter |
| 5. JobsPikr | Search plus dataset maintenance | Growth: from $480/month, billed monthly | 25,000 monthly credits; Starter excludes API |
| 6. PredictLeads | Company-by-company hiring signals | Entry tier $0.04/credit; $40 monthly minimum | Company and discovery endpoints charge differently |
| 7. JSearch | Query-driven vacancy search | Pro: $25/month, 10,000 requests | A request allowance is not a unique-jobs allowance |
| 8. Adzuna | Evaluating a listings-search experience | Free commercial evaluation for 14 days; then licence quote | Snippets and attribution requirements |
1. Xverum Jobs Data — best overall for internal hiring research
Xverum’s jobs dataset combines daily vacancy updates with segmentation by role, location, seniority and company details. API access and JSON, CSV or Parquet delivery suit teams bringing hiring information into an internal research workflow. Its connected company datasets can add context to changes in advertised roles.
Pricing and limitations: Request a jobs-specific dataset/API quote; no numerical public jobs tariff was verified. The public page does not provide a complete jobs endpoint specification, so confirm the schema, target U.S. coverage and update/closure behaviour using a sample. Its current terms permit qualifying adult/business customers, with restricted-party conditions, and specify internal business use. Redistribution and broader data use require appropriate written permission. This makes the licensed use case and retention agreement as important as the daily refresh.
2. Coresignal — best for searching then collecting full records
Coresignal Jobs API provides normalised, deduplicated postings with documented U.S. coverage and filters for location, company, role and status. It suits teams separating discovery of matching identifiers from collection of complete job records.
Pricing and limitations: Mini costs $49/month for 2,500 credits. Current endpoint documentation makes ID searches free and full-record collection one credit per job. Paid Search Preview is a separate feature and is not included in Mini. Mini credits do not roll over, so size a recurring workload rather than assume unused capacity accumulates. Purchased-data rights are governed by a separate agreement; confirm public-display rights for your application.
3. TheirStack — best for tightly filtered hiring research
TheirStack supports U.S. searches and filters spanning job titles, companies, dates and open or closed status. It is useful when vacancy information needs to connect with a company-focused research workflow.
Pricing and limitations: The API subscription starts at $49/month for 1,500 API credits. Each returned job costs one credit, and fetching it again costs again; paid credits remain valid for twelve months. The search contract requires a date or qualifying identifier filter, with the balance covering the requested result limit before execution. Its terms allow specified display uses, without an unrestricted right to resell a competing feed.
4. Fantastic.jobs — best for recurring vacancy ingestion
Fantastic.jobs combines career-site and job-board feeds with location filters and separate change/status endpoints. Its country documentation explicitly includes U.S. data. The recommended pattern is regular ingestion into your own database, rather than repeatedly downloading overlapping results.
Pricing and limitations: Current plans start at $45/month for 5,000 new jobs and 2,500 requests, excluding tax. Request limits are hard caps, and expiry/modified-feed access varies by tier. Its terms permit ordinary internal and end-user-product uses, but prohibit standalone raw-data resale. AI-enriched fields can be inaccurate, and original-source rights still matter. Avoid treating inferred salary or seniority as verified employer statements.
5. JobsPikr — best for search and consumed-record maintenance
JobsPikr offers job searches, aggregation and an Expired Jobs API, with explicit U.S. coverage. It suits teams combining filtered downloads with maintenance of vacancies already brought into their system.
Pricing and limitations: The published comparison places API access on Growth and Enterprise; Starter is marked unavailable. Growth starts at $480/month billed monthly, with 25,000 monthly job-download credits. Extra credits and custom sources are add-ons. The expiry endpoint covers previously consumed postings, so it is not a universal archive of every closed vacancy. Check the agreement for your proposed downstream product and any resale permission.
6. PredictLeads — best for company-by-company hiring signals
PredictLeads provides job descriptions, first/last-seen dates, seniority and occupation classifications. Its company-job endpoint supports U.S. filtering and can return up to 1,000 records per response.
Pricing and limitations: The entry paid tier is $0.04 per credit with a $40 monthly minimum; 100 free monthly credits are also advertised. Company-job retrieval costs one credit per response, whereas cross-company discovery costs one credit per returned job and covers openings found within the last year. The stated refresh cycle is 36 hours, not an employer-side availability check at query time. Unused credits expire; confirm redistribution rights for your contract.
7. OpenWeb Ninja JSearch — best for query-driven job search
JSearch returns structured vacancy results, including descriptions and application links, from Google for Jobs and public sources. Documented U.S. country filtering and cursor pagination make it useful for a search interface or targeted discovery.
Pricing and limitations: Direct Pro pricing is $25/month for 10,000 requests, then $0.003 per additional request; a capped 200-request monthly free tier is available. Pagination consumes requests, and indexed search results are not a complete historical hiring database. Missing employer salary information can remain null. The commercial licence permits use within broader products, while restricting standalone substitute data/API products and preserving original-source rights.
8. Adzuna — best for evaluating listings search
Adzuna’s REST API supports U.S. vacancy queries through its documented country-based search. Employer, location, salary and redirect fields can support a listings experience, but the description is a snippet, not an assured full advert.
Pricing and limitations: Its terms give commercial organisations a 14-day evaluation; ongoing commercial research, revenue-generating or lead-generating use requires a licence agreement. No numeric USD commercial licence price was verified. Displayed listings need linked Adzuna attribution, and website data must be removed on termination. Assess the permitted use and agreed quota before treating a free evaluation key as production access.
How to choose the right API
Start with a representative set of U.S. employers, locations and role types. Check descriptions, posting dates, source links, duplicates and closure handling. Then model a month of searches, pagination, returned records and repeat downloads using each provider’s actual charging unit. Put update cadence, history, retention, exports and public-display rights into the written scope. A larger advertised database does not automatically provide the best coverage for your particular niche.
Does API access include permission to publish the data?
Only where the relevant licence permits it. Internal analysis, an end-user job board and reselling a raw feed are different uses; establish the intended use before integrating.
Does a returned vacancy prove the employer is still hiring?
No. Discovery time, last-seen time and closure checks differ. For time-sensitive decisions, follow the source link and verify the employer’s current listing.
