USAJOBS announcements feed
Federal job announcements from the official USAJOBS announcements feed, filtered by agency, department, occupational series, announcement number, job id and opening or closing dates. Each has the title, agency and department codes, open, close and expiry dates, salary range, pay scale, grades, promotion potential, appointment type, schedule, service type, telework, clearance, openings, hiring paths, series and locations. Give at least one filter; pass next_cursor back as cursor (null on the last page).
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/announcements?agency=VATA" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/announcements",
params={"agency": "VATA"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/announcements");
url.searchParams.set("agency", "VATA");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
