SmartRecruiters jobs API

Broad mid-market coverage with clean dates, and a pagination rule that will silently truncate your results if you trust the parameter you passed.

The endpoint

GET https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/{company}/postings?limit=100&offset=0

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

curl -s 'https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/acme/postings?limit=100&offset=0'

What it returns, measured

Measured across every live SmartRecruiters board in our registry — 86,464 postings from 4,334 boards, not a sample. yes means 99.5% or more; no means the field does not exist on this endpoint.

FieldSmartRecruiters
Posting dateyes
Descriptionno
Payno
Marked remote7.7%

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

What it is good at

Second-largest board count here after BambooHR, every posting dated, and employment type present on 95.5% of rows.

Where it falls short

No descriptions on the listing endpoint at all, no pay, and department is present on only 41.8% of rows — the lowest of any platform that has the field.

Mistakes that cost us time

limit caps at 100 whatever you pass.
Ask for 500 and you get 100. Page with offset.
Count from totalFound, not from rows.
Counting returned rows and stopping when a page is short will cut boards off early.
Location is structured but sparse.
City and country come as separate fields, and remote is a flag that only 7.7% of employers set.

So should you use it

Yes, for wide employer coverage where you only need title, location and a link.

No, for full-text search. You would need a second request per posting.

How SmartRecruiters 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 SmartRecruiters 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

SmartRecruiters boards are a path segment on jobs.smartrecruiters.com, which makes them straightforward to harvest from URL indexes — 4,334 live boards, second only to BambooHR here. The awkward part is not finding them but reading them: the 100-row response cap means a large board is many round trips, and totalFound rather than the row count is what tells you when to stop.
