}About the angel.co API
The Wellfound (formerly AngelList) API provides 4 endpoints covering startup job search, detailed job listings, company profiles, and founder or investor profiles. The search_jobs endpoint accepts role and location slugs and returns paginated job results including salary ranges, equity, and associated startup metadata. The get_startup_details endpoint surfaces funding history, team members, market categories, and social links for any company on the platform.
Job Search and Listings
The search_jobs endpoint accepts a role slug (e.g. software-engineer, product-manager) and/or a location slug (e.g. san-francisco, remote), plus an optional page integer for pagination. Each result in the jobs array includes the job title, description, salary, equity, job_type, remote flag, posted_at timestamp, and a nested startup object. The total field reflects the count of jobs on the current page, not a global count across all pages.
For granular listing data, get_job_details takes a job_id_slug string in the format returned by search_jobs (e.g. 4175436-software-engineer) and returns the full record: salary with min, max, and currency; equity with min and max percentages; a benefits text field; location as an array of strings; and a startup object containing name, slug, website, logo, and concept summary. Job listings expire over time — passing a stale ID returns a not-found error rather than partial data.
Company Profiles
get_startup_details takes a startup slug and returns a detailed company object. The funding array includes one object per round with series, amount, valuation, and closed_at date. The team array lists members with name, title, role_type, bio, and linkedin URL. markets is an array of plain-text industry strings, and social contains Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook URLs where available.
People Profiles
get_person_details resolves a person slug (e.g. naval) to a profile containing name, bio, location, social links, and an investments array — useful for mapping founder or investor activity across the platform.

Does Wellfound have an official public developer API?+
What does search_jobs return, and how is it paginated?+
jobs array of objects and a total field reflecting the count on that page. Use the page integer parameter to step through results. The total field is per-page, not a global count, so you advance pages until the returned array is empty or smaller than a full page.Does get_startup_details return employee count or headcount data?+
size field with a company-size category string (e.g. a band like '11-50'), but not a precise headcount or historical growth data. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting pages that expose more granular team metrics.Are job listings always available after being returned by search_jobs?+
job_id_slug to get_job_details returns a not-found error rather than cached data. Store listing details when first fetched if freshness matters to your use case.Can I retrieve a list of all investors or all startups in bulk?+
search_jobs, individual company lookup via get_startup_details, and individual person lookup via get_person_details. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add an endpoint for browsing investor directories or market-specific startup lists.
