Google Jobs

Jobs search

One rendered page of Google Jobs cards.

POST/v1/jobs/search
3 credits

Google serves a JavaScript shell to plain HTTP, so this renders the jobs panel in a real browser — seconds per call. Each card carries the title, company, location, the upstream publisher (via), the relative posting age (Google publishes no absolute dates here), the employment type, and the apply links with their sources.

Request

Authenticate with your API key in the x-api-key header (see Authentication).

Errors

Errors return a JSON body with a detail field. Failed requests are not charged. See Errors for the full list and retry advice.

StatusMeaningRetry?
401Unauthorized

Missing or invalid API key.

{"detail":"missing or invalid API key"}
No, fix the request
402Payment Required

Not enough credits for this request. Only returned once credit enforcement is switched on; during the beta metering runs in shadow mode and never blocks.

{"detail":"insufficient credits: this request costs 5, 0 available. Credits renew 2026-11-01."}
No, fix the request
422Unprocessable Content

Request validation failed. detail is a list of problems for schema errors, or a string for semantic checks performed by the endpoint.

{"detail":[{"loc":["body","name"],"msg":"Field required","type":"missing"}]}
No, fix the request
429Too Many Requests

Too many requests: the key's requests-per-minute limit was exceeded, or (once credit enforcement is on) the plan's concurrent-request limit. No rate-limit or Retry-After headers are sent; back off and retry.

{"detail":"rate limit 60/min exceeded"}
Yes, with backoff
502Bad Gateway

The upstream source failed, blocked the request or returned an unusable answer. Safe to retry later; failed requests are not charged.

{"detail":"RuntimeError"}
Yes, with backoff
503Service Unavailable

Temporarily unavailable: a dependency of this endpoint is down, or the upstream source changed its contract. Retry later.

{"detail":"database unavailable: OperationalError"}
Yes, with backoff
