Greenhouse Jobs API: how to get every job from any Greenhouse job board as JSON

Greenhouse exposes a public, unauthenticated Job Board API for every company that uses it for its careers page. No API key, no login. This repository documents the endpoints, the fields you get back, pagination and limits, and ships a dependency-free Python example.

The endpoint

GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/jobs
GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/jobs?content=true
GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/jobs/{job_id}
GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/departments
GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/offices

board_token is the slug in the careers URL: https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe → stripe; https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb → airbnb. Companies that embed the board on their own domain still have a token; view the page source and look for boards.greenhouse.io/embed/job_board?for=<token>.

What you get back

/jobs returns {"jobs": [...], "meta": {"total": N}}. Each job:

Pagination and limits

There is no pagination: /jobs returns the whole board in one response (boards with 1,000+ jobs return several MB). There is no documented rate limit, but the API is served through a CDN; a few requests per second per client is fine, and you should cache. Responses are Cache-Control: max-age friendly.

Python example (stdlib only)

import json, urllib.request

def greenhouse_jobs(board):
    url = f"https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board}/jobs"
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers={"User-Agent": "your-app/1.0 (contact@example.com)"})
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as r:
        data = json.load(r)
    for j in data["jobs"]:
        yield {
            "id": str(j["id"]),
            "title": j["title"],
            "location": (j.get("location") or {}).get("name"),
            "url": j["absolute_url"],
            "updated_at": j.get("updated_at"),
            "posted_at": j.get("first_published"),
        }

if __name__ == "__main__":
    rows = list(greenhouse_jobs("stripe"))
    print(len(rows), "jobs"); print(rows[0])

Finding Greenhouse boards

Search engines: site:boards.greenhouse.io or site:job-boards.greenhouse.io. Many company careers pages are iframes of the board; the token is in the iframe URL.

Common questions

Is there an official Greenhouse Job Board API doc? Yes, Greenhouse publishes it for board embedding; the list above is what it returns in practice as of late 2026.

Can I apply through the API? POST applications need a Job Board API key issued to the company; this repository covers read-only listing.

Does content=true slow things down? Yes, it adds the full HTML description per job; fetch the list without it and /jobs/{id} for the roles you care about.

Hosted version, pay per result

If you would rather not run and maintain this yourself, the same logic runs as a pay-per-result Apify Actor by CleanFeeds: https://apify.com/cleanfeedsapi/greenhouse-jobs-api ($1.50 per 1,000 rows, no subscription, JSON/CSV/Excel export, API, scheduling, n8n/Make/Zapier and MCP integrations). A multi-ATS variant that mixes Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee boards in one run: https://apify.com/cleanfeedsapi/ats-jobs-feed
