← All twelve ATS APIs compared

Ashby jobs API

The most remote-heavy source of the twelve, by a wide margin — and that is a fact about who uses Ashby, not about the job market.

The endpoint

GET https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/{company}?includeCompensation=true

No key, no login. The slug is the path segment in jobs.ashbyhq.com/{company}.

curl -s 'https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/acme?includeCompensation=true'

What it returns, measured

Measured across every live Ashby board in our registry — 32,407 postings from 3,000 boards, not a sample. yes means 99.5% or more; no means the field does not exist on this endpoint.

FieldAshby
Posting dateyes
Descriptionyes
Pay38.9%
Marked remote54.2%

Title, company, location and an apply URL come back on every row.

What it is good at

54.2% of postings are marked remote by the employer, against 15.7% on Breezy and 9.9% on Recruitee. Work arrangement is stated on 85.1% of rows, dates and descriptions on effectively all of them.

Where it falls short

Compensation arrives as a human-written summary, not numbers: "$211.4K – $290.6K • Offers Equity". Present on 38.9% of rows, but parsing it into a range means guessing at currency, period and whether equity is folded in.

Mistakes that cost us time

includeCompensation=true is opt-in.
Omit it and every row comes back with no pay data, which reads as "Ashby has no salary field".
Two compensation shapes.
A tier summary and a scrapeable summary exist side by side; the tier summary is the human-readable one and the scrapeable one drops the equity note.
The board name is not always the company name.
Ashby slugs skew to product names for companies that rebranded.

So should you use it

Yes, for building anything remote-first. Over half your rows qualify before you filter.

No, for pay as numbers. Use Pinpoint or Recruitee if you need to compute on it.

How Ashby compares with the other eleven on the same four fields is on the comparison page. If you would rather not write and maintain a client, this Actor reads Ashby and emits the same row shape as the other eleven, and ATS Database is a free lookup for finding which platform a given company is on.

Finding the boards

Ashby was under-collected for a long time. A later Wayback sweep of jobs.ashbyhq.com produced 2,599 candidates we did not have, and 54% of them were live — an unusually high yield that took the registry from 1,596 to 3,000 boards. Compare that with Greenhouse's 4% on the same kind of sweep: whether a platform is "fully covered" has to be measured per platform, not assumed.
