LinkedIn jobs search — POST /v1/linkedin/jobs

LinkedIn's signed-out search fragment (jobs-guest/jobs/api/seeMoreJobPostings/search) over plain HTTP — no browser, no login. Each card carries the job id, title, company (+ its LinkedIn page and logo), location, the posting date from the card's own datetime plus LinkedIn's relative age verbatim ("3 weeks ago"), LinkedIn's badge verbatim in insights ("Actively Hiring", "Be an early applicant"), and the canonical /jobs/view/<id>/ link. Cards dedupe by job_id.

Paging: page maps to LinkedIn's start offset, 10 cards per page, 100 pages at most. next_page is set when the page was full; a page past the last result is an empty list and is not billed. LinkedIn answers loose matches rather than nothing (a nonsense keyword returned unrelated postings), so an empty first page is rare.

Salary is not on guest search cards — POST /v1/linkedin/job carries the poster's pay range when there is one.

Errors

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

Status	Meaning	Retry?
`401`Unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key. `{"detail":"missing or invalid API key"}`	No, fix the request
`402`Payment 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
`422`Unprocessable 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
`429`Too 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
`502`Bad 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
`503`Service 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
