API.SH vs the official Job Bank API

Job Bank does not publish a self-serve search API for developers; it shares jobs posted on Job Bank with partner job boards through its network program, and some job data sets are on the Open Government Portal. API.SH returns live public Job Bank search results and postings as JSON with one key.

Instead of building a Job Bank scraper or using a single-purpose Apify actor, API.SH gives you search and full postings at a fixed price per call, in the same shape as its other sites.

Job Bank API questions

What Job Bank data can I get?+

Job search with every site filter and facet counts (/jobbank/v1/search) and one full posting with employer, salary, hours, vacancies, dates, requirements and apply link (/jobbank/v1/job).

How much does the Job Bank API cost?+

Every Job Bank endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free Job Bank API?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /jobbank/v1/job at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Job Bank API?+

Not a public one for developers. Job Bank shares its postings with partner job boards through its network, and the Open Government Portal hosts related data sets. API.SH reads the public Job Bank site instead, so you get the same postings job seekers see.

Do I need a Job Bank account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Job Bank pages only. No endpoint uses a login, an employer account or a job seeker account.

Can I filter by salary, province and NOC occupation?+

Yes. /jobbank/v1/search takes province, posted (last 2 or 30 days), job_type, term, language, annual or hourly salary band, source and occupation (NOC), sorted by relevance or date. The facets field lists every filter value with counts.

How does pagination work?+

Search returns 25 postings per page and a next_page value. Pass it back as page to get the next page.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /jobbank/v1/search with q=cook and province=ON. Docs and request examples are at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
