How to get every job from Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby career pages (Python)

Most tech companies don't host their own job listings. They use an applicant tracking system (ATS), and the big ones (Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby) each expose a public job-board feed that powers the company's careers page. If you want job data for a list of companies, these feeds beat scraping LinkedIn or Indeed: they're the source of truth, they're structured, and they don't block you.

The catch: every ATS is different

Greenhouse boards live at boards.greenhouse.io/<board>; pay ranges only appear if you ask for them and the company publishes them.
Lever boards live at jobs.lever.co/<company>, with "commitment" and "workplaceType" fields and a different salary shape.
Ashby boards live at jobs.ashbyhq.com/<company> and often include compensation, in yet another format.

And you first need to know which ATS a company uses. "Stripe" doesn't tell you that.

Option 1: do it yourself

For a single ATS, it's a few lines of requests against the public board endpoint plus a mapping function. Multiply that by eight platforms, add platform detection, salary parsing from free text, seniority inference and de-duplication for "new jobs only", and it becomes a small project to maintain.

Option 2: one normalised API

Disclosure: I built this. I wrapped all of that into a hosted API on Apify that takes company names, careers URLs or platform:board pairs and returns one schema for all eight platforms:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("cape-data-labs/company-career-jobs-api").call(
    run_input={"companies": ["https://boards.greenhouse.io/airbnb", "lever:palantir", "ashby:ramp"]}
)
for job in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(job["company"], job["title"], job["workplaceType"], job["salary"])

Each job comes back with title, department, location, remote/hybrid/on-site, seniority, employment type, salary (min/max/currency/period), posted date and apply URL. Turn on onlyNewJobs and schedule it daily for alerts; you only pay for postings you haven't seen ($1.50 per 1,000 jobs).

What I learned building it

Platform detection by name is a guessing game; careers-page URLs are always faster and more reliable.
Pay ranges are more common than you'd think: in one test run, 145 of Ramp's 171 open roles had one. But every ATS stores them differently.
Job ads are a surprisingly good technographic source: companies name their CRM, warehouse and cloud in them. That became a second API, Hiring Signals.
