}About the builtin.com API
The Built In API provides access to tech job listings across three endpoints, covering search, job details, and title autocomplete. Use search_jobs to query positions by keyword, city, and work arrangement, or call get_job_details with a job URL to retrieve full posting data including salary range, benefits, education requirements, geographic coordinates, and a direct application link.
Endpoints and Data Coverage
The API exposes three endpoints. search_jobs accepts optional query, location, work_type (remote, hybrid, or office), and page parameters, returning up to 25 jobs per page. Each result in the jobs array includes the job id, title, url, company, company_url, company_logo, work_type, location, salary, and experience_level. Pagination is handled through page, total_pages, and results_on_page fields in the response.
Job Details and Company Data
get_job_details accepts either a relative path (e.g., /job/software-engineer/3985663) or a full Built In URL. The response includes structured salary data (currency, min, max, unit), a benefits array, industry tags, a full location object with latitude and longitude, the date_posted in ISO format, required education level, a company_url pointing to the company's Built In profile, and a how_to_apply URL for direct applications.
Title Autocomplete
suggest_job_titles takes a partial string via the query parameter and returns up to 10 matching title strings in a suggestions array. This is useful for building search interfaces or validating job title inputs before passing them to search_jobs.

Does Built In have an official developer API?+
What does the `search_jobs` endpoint return for salary data?+
jobs array includes a salary field. Full structured salary details — currency, min, max, and unit — are returned by get_job_details when you fetch a specific posting. Not every listing on Built In includes salary information, so those fields may be null or absent for some results.Can I filter search results by company or industry?+
search_jobs endpoint filters by query, location, and work_type. Company-specific or industry filtering is not currently supported as a direct parameter. get_job_details does return industry tags for individual postings. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a company or industry filter endpoint.Does the API return the full job description text?+
get_job_details response covers structured fields: salary, benefits, location, education, industry, company profile, and application link. A free-text job description body is not currently included in the returned fields. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add full description text extraction.How does pagination work in `search_jobs`?+
page (current page), total_pages, and results_on_page. Pass an integer to the page parameter to retrieve subsequent pages. Each page returns up to 25 job objects.
