Skip LinkedIn/Indeed: most companies' job boards have a public JSON API

If you've ever tried to pull job listings by scraping LinkedIn or Indeed, you know the pain: anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, rotating proxies, and scripts that silently break every few weeks. Here's the thing — you usually don't need any of that. Companies don't post jobs on LinkedIn first. They post them in their ATS (Applicant Tracking System) — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, etc. — and most ATS platforms expose the company's board as a public JSON endpoint . No key, no login, no browser. It's the company's own source of truth, so it's cleaner and fresher than any aggregator. The endpoints A few that work with a plain GET ( {company} = the company's slug): Greenhouse — https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{company}/jobs?content=true Lever — https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{company}?mode=json Recruitee — https://{company}.recruitee.com/api/offers/ Breezy HR — https://{company}.breezy.hr/json SmartRecruiters, Ashby, BambooHR and Personio have their own equivalents. Workday is the one annoying exception — it's a POST and needs the full board URL (tenant + datacenter + site), so you can't guess it from a bare company name. Example: pulling Stripe's open roles (Python) Stripe uses Greenhouse: import requests company = " stripe " url = f " https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/ { company } /jobs?content=true " jobs = requests . get ( url ). json ()[ " jobs " ] for j in jobs [: 5 ]: print ( j [ " title " ], " — " , j [ " location " ][ " name " ]) That's it. No Selenium, no proxy, no CAPTCHA solver. Runs in ~200ms and won't break next Tuesday because Cloudflare changed something. Auto-detecting the ATS If you don't know which ATS a company uses, just try them in order and take the first one that returns jobs. A bare 404 means "not this ATS, try the next." Greenhouse → Lever → Ashby → SmartRecruiters → Recruitee → Breezy covers a huge chunk of tech companies. Gotchas Rate limits are lenient but real — be polite, set a User-Agent .
