API.SH vs the official Shine API

Shine.com does not publish a public jobs API; it serves job seekers through its website and app. API.SH returns the public Shine.com job ads as JSON, leaving out recruiter names, phones and emails.

Skip building and maintaining your own Shine.com job scraper: one API.SH key returns search results and full job ads at a fixed price per call.

Shine API questions

What Shine.com data can I get?+

Job search by keyword and city with facet counts (/shine/v1/search) and one job ad with employer, locations, experience, salary in INR, industry, functional areas, skills, vacancies, applicant count, dates and full description (/shine/v1/job).

How much does the Shine API cost?+

Every Shine 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 trial?+

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

Is there an official Shine.com API?+

No. Shine.com does not offer a public jobs API for developers. API.SH reads the public job pages and returns them as JSON.

Do I need a Shine.com account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Shine.com pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account, and it does not apply to jobs.

Does it return recruiter contact details?+

No. Recruiter names, phone numbers and emails are left out of both endpoints. You get the job, the employer and the hiring-for company when the ad names one.

Which cities can I search?+

Any city Shine.com lists, for example Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore or Pune. Pass it as location along with your keywords; results come 20 to a page.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /shine/v1/search with q and location. Every parameter is in the docs 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.
