Search USAJOBS federal jobs
Current US federal government job announcements on USAJOBS for keywords and places, with the site's filters: agency, department, occupational series, GS grade, work schedule, appointment type, hiring path, travel, security clearance, remote, telework, relocation, salary range and radius, and its sort orders. Each result has the title, agency and sub-agency, locations, salary range and pay plan, grades, schedule, series, hiring paths and open and close dates. facet_counts gives counts per series and option. 25 per page; pass next_page back as page (null on the last page).
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/search?q=nurse" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/search",
params={"q": "nurse"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/usajobs/v1/search");
url.searchParams.set("q", "nurse");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${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).
