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

If you've ever built a job board, career tool, or recruitment dashboard, you know the pain: every platform has its own API, its own response format, and its own quirks. You end up writing three separate integrations just to show listings from Glassdoor, GitHub Jobs, and Stack Overflow side by side.

The Multi-Source Jobs Aggregator API eliminates that overhead. It pulls listings from all three sources through a single endpoint and returns them in a standardized format — same fields, same structure, regardless of origin.

How It Works

Hit one GET endpoint with your search terms, and the API fans out across Glassdoor, GitHub Jobs, and Stack Overflow simultaneously. You get back a unified JSON response with consistent fields like title, company, location, url, and source so you know where each listing came from.

You can filter by source if you only want certain platforms, set a location, and control the number of results per source.

Quick Example

const response = await fetch(
  'https://jobs-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/search?query=react+developer&location=remote&sources=glassdoor,github,stackoverflow&limit=5',
  {
    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.source})`);
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That single request returns React developer roles from three platforms, all normalized so you can render them in one list without transformation logic.

What You Can Build

  • Job aggregator apps that rival Indeed or LinkedIn without the licensing fees
  • Slack bots that post new listings matching team criteria every morning
  • Career dashboards for bootcamp graduates tracking openings across platforms
  • Recruitment pipelines that feed candidate-matching algorithms from multiple sources
