What is the Indeed API?
This API provides access to job listings on Indeed UK across 3 endpoints, covering job search with filters, full job detail retrieval, and a dedicated student/graduate job search. The search_jobs endpoint accepts parameters for keyword, location, job type, salary threshold, and posting recency, returning job cards with titles, companies, locations, salaries, and a total result count.

}About the Indeed API
Endpoints and What They Return
The search_jobs endpoint searches Indeed UK and returns an array of job objects, each containing job_key, title, company, location, salary, and date_posted, along with a total_results count. Filter inputs include query (keywords or job title), jt (job type, e.g. fulltime, contract, apprenticeship), explvl (education level from gcse to doctoral), radius in miles, salary as a minimum threshold string (e.g. £25,000), fromage for recency in days, and sort by date or relevance. Only the first page of results is returned per call.
Job Detail Retrieval
The get_job_details endpoint accepts a jk job key from search results and returns a fuller record: title, job_type (array of strings), location, is_remote (boolean), apply_link, date_posted as a millisecond epoch timestamp, salary_info, company_name, and company_rating as a float. The apply_link field may be an empty string if no direct link is available, and company_rating may be null where no rating exists on the listing.
Student and Graduate Jobs
The search_student_jobs endpoint is a convenience wrapper targeting entry-level and early-career roles such as internships, placements, and graduate positions. It accepts a location parameter and generates a title-based query automatically, returning the same job card structure (job_key, title, company, location, salary, date_posted) and a total_results count. The generated query string is echoed back in the response so callers can see exactly what was searched.
The Indeed API is a managed, monitored endpoint for uk.indeed.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when uk.indeed.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official uk.indeed.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does Indeed have an official developer API?+
What does `get_job_details` return that `search_jobs` does not?+
get_job_details returns fields not present in search result cards: is_remote (boolean), apply_link (direct application URL), job_type (array, e.g. Full-time, Part-time), company_rating (float or null), and salary_info as a richer text field. The full job description text is also included. Use the job_key from a search_jobs result to call this endpoint.Does the API support pagination to retrieve results beyond the first page?+
search_jobs and search_student_jobs currently return only the first page of results. The total_results integer tells you how many matching jobs exist in total, but additional pages are not accessible via the current endpoints. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an offset or page parameter to retrieve subsequent pages.Can I retrieve saved jobs, user profiles, or application history from Indeed UK?+
How fresh is the job data returned?+
fromage parameter in search_jobs lets you limit results to jobs posted within 1, 3, 7, or 14 days, which gives some control over recency. The date_posted field on each result reflects the timestamp Indeed associates with the listing. There is no guarantee of real-time freshness; short-lived or quickly-filled roles may appear or disappear between calls.
