Live Jobs HTTP API examples: company jobs in one GET request

Get the open jobs of the companies you name in one GET or POST request, from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and 18 more job boards. No run to start, no dataset to fetch: the jobs are in the response.

The API is Live Jobs HTTP API, a hosted Actor on Apify that runs as a live HTTP server. This repo holds curl and Python examples and MCP setup for 5 AI clients. There is no scraper code here. The example code is MIT licensed.

Send job board links, company websites or names, up to 500 per request. The response is one JSON object:

{
  "companies": [
    {"company": "stripe", "companyStatus": "ok", "charged": true}
  ],
  "jobs": [
    {
      "company": "stripe",
      "ats": "greenhouse",
      "title": "Backend Engineer, Payments",
      "department": "Engineering",
      "location": "Seattle, WA",
      "workplaceType": "hybrid",
      "salaryMin": 180000,
      "salaryMax": 250000,
      "salaryCurrency": "USD",
      "postedAt": "2026-09-22T16:40:00.000Z",
      "url": "https://..."
    }
  ],
  "closedJobs": [],
  "spendingLimitReached": false
}

The fragment above is shortened. Every job has the same fields on all 22 boards, the same as in ATS Jobs API. companies has one status per company, such as ok, no_matching_jobs or not_found. GET /openapi.json describes every parameter and field, for free.

You need an Apify account and its API token (Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations).

export APIFY_TOKEN=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  "https://conserving-celerytop--live-jobs-http-api.apify.actor/?companies=stripe,linear.app,https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai&department=engineering&postedSince=7%20days"

A POST to the same URL with a JSON body also works:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://conserving-celerytop--live-jobs-http-api.apify.actor/" \
  -d '{"companies": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/stripe", "https://jobs.lever.co/palantir"], "remoteOnly": true}'

This API is a plain HTTP endpoint, so the quick start uses requests.

pip install requests

import os
import requests

resp = requests.get(
    "https://conserving-celerytop--live-jobs-http-api.apify.actor/",
    params={"companies": "stripe,linear.app,https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai", "postedSince": "7 days"},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN']}"},
    timeout=300,
)
for job in resp.json()["jobs"]:
    print(job["company"], "|", job["title"], "|", job["location"], "|", job["url"])

The full script is examples/quickstart.py: it takes companies as arguments, prints each company's status and saves the jobs to jobs.csv.

pip install -r examples/requirements.txt
python examples/quickstart.py stripe figma https://jobs.lever.co/palantir

To start a normal Apify run with the official apify-client package instead, use ATS Jobs API: same data, no platform usage on top. Its Python quick start is in the repo ats-jobs-api-python.

Only companies is needed. In a URL, separate several values with commas.

Each request has 240 seconds. Companies not read by then come back as skipped_time_limit and are free, so send fewer per request.

Apify hosts the MCP server. This URL adds only this Actor as a tool:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,conserving_celerytop/live-jobs-http-api

An agent that calls it starts a normal run, which charges the events plus Apify platform usage. For agents, the same URL with conserving_celerytop/live-career-page-jobs-api in place of conserving_celerytop/live-jobs-http-api gives the same data with no platform usage on top. On first use, the client opens a browser window to sign in to Apify (OAuth).

$0.045 per company, including up to 1,000 of its open jobs ($0.0428 on Starter, $0.0405 on Scale, $0.036 on Business), so 100 companies cost $4.50 before platform usage. Every request also pays its Apify platform usage, because the Actor runs as a live server. Each further 1,000 jobs of the same company costs $0.01, a later check with onlyNewJobs $0.002 per 1,000 open jobs, and descriptions on Workday, Eightfold and 8 other boards $0.01 per 200 jobs. Invalid, unsupported, duplicate and skipped entries are free. For many companies or daily schedules, ATS Jobs API costs less. The Store page has the current price.

Step-by-step guides with full Python code, one per job board:

• Greenhouse jobs API in Python
• Lever postings API in Python
• Ashby job board API in Python
• Workday jobs API in Python

• ATS Jobs API: the same data as a normal Apify run, with schedules and new-job alerts.
• Tech Jobs Search: search the open jobs of 824 startups and tech, AI, remote-first and European companies by keyword, $1.15 per 1,000 matching jobs.
