Stop Juggling Job Boards — Search Glassdoor, GitHub Jobs, and Stack Overflow With One API Call

#webdev #api #javascript #career

If you've ever built a job board aggregator or a career-focused app, you know the pain: every platform has its own API, its own auth flow, its own response format. You end up writing three integrations just to show users a decent list of openings.

The Multi-Source Jobs Aggregator API eliminates that entirely. One endpoint. One query. Results from Glassdoor, GitHub Jobs, and Stack Overflow Jobs — normalized into a single, consistent format.

What It Does

Send a search query with an optional location filter, and the API fans out across multiple job platforms behind the scenes. You get back a unified JSON response with job titles, companies, locations, posting dates, and direct application links — no matter which source the listing came from.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Job board apps that need broad coverage without managing multiple scrapers
  • Slack/Discord bots that alert teams about new openings
  • Data projects analyzing hiring trends across platforms
  • Career tools that help developers find remote work fast

Quick Example

Here's how to search for remote React developer roles:

const response = await fetch(
  'https://jobs-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/multi-jobs-aggregator/search?query=react+developer&location=remote',
  {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY',
      'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'multi-jobs-aggregator.p.rapidapi.com'
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();

data.results.forEach(job => {
  console.log(`${job.title} at ${job.company} — ${job.location}`);
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The query parameter takes any job title or keyword. The optional location parameter lets you filter by city name or pass remote to find distributed roles.

Why Not Just Use Each API Directly?

You could. But then you're maintaining three sets of API keys, handling three different rate limits, and writing transform logic to normalize three different response schemas. This API handles all of that and gives you one clean interface.

It's the difference between plumbing and building.

Try It Out

The API is live on RapidAPI with a free tier so you can test it immediately:
