Most job-board data products are built on scraping HTML. That is the hard way. Nearly every applicant tracking system that powers a company careers page also exposes a public JSON or XML feed, because the career page itself is just a client of that feed. If you know where the feeds live, you can read most of the world's job postings without parsing a single div.
I have spent the last year building integrations against these feeds for JobsPipe, and this post is the field guide I wish had existed when I started: the actual endpoints, the quirks of each, and the parts that stay hard even after you know the URLs.
The endpoints
All of these are public and unauthenticated. They exist so that companies can embed job widgets on their own sites, which means they are stable, documented (sometimes), and legal to read.
