In 2024 Indeed.com is ranked number 1 as the most popular website worldwide in the Jobs and Employment category. Until recently Indeed.com was also offering an API (Application Programming Interface) that allowed developers to access and integrate job listing data from Indeed's extensive database into their own applications or websites. This API provided access to job search functionality, allowing developers to retrieve job listings, filter results based on various criteria such as location or keyword, and display them to users.
The Indeed.com API was the most used job search API integrated in our Jobs Portal web software product, allowing to create advanced job board sites and thanks to Indeed.com, at the moment when launching the job website, our users were able to have hundreds of thousands of jobs already on it in many different categories and for most of the countries in the world.
So after Indeed.com discontinued their API, we had to work on integrating alternative job search APIs and provide them on request to our customers as external modules and extensions. We present below some of the main APIs that can be used with our products and we keep working on adding more or also integrating new APIs on request.
1. CareerJet

However, CareerBuilder does offer a solution called "CareerBuilder Widget" or "Job Widget," which allows embedding job listings on your website. This widget is essentially an iframe that you can customize and include on your site. Users can search for jobs within the widget, and the results are displayed within the iframe.
