Read-only JSON over HTTPS. No key, no sign-up. Same data and the same search as the website.

Example

curl -s "https://sixfigurework.com/v1/jobs?q=engineer&min_salary=150000&sort=highest_min&limit=5"

Search parameters: q, min_salary (100000 to 5000000), employer, employer_id, sort (relevance, newest, highest_min, lowest_min, recently_verified, closing_soon), limit (1 to 50), cursor, audience (public or all), and these filters, each taking comma-separated values: category, state, metro, seniority, workplace, open_to. An invalid value returns a 422 error naming the field.

Limits

60 requests per minute per IP address. Over the limit you get 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds).
At most 2 searches at once per address. Extra ones get 429.
When the service is busy it answers 503 with Retry-After. Wait and retry; do not retry in a tight loop.
Write methods return 405. Use of the API is covered by the terms. Need more volume or a bulk file? Ask us.

Reading a response

Every response has request_id and generated_at (UTC). Errors have error.code, error.message and error.status. Pay is annual, in USD (currency, period).

salary_min, salary_max: The employer's advertised annual base salary range, in dollars. salary_max can be null when the employer states only a floor. base_range is the same range as text.
scope_label, scope_phrase: The place or level the pay applies to, for example a state. Pay can differ elsewhere.
scope_partial: true when the pay shown applies only to the scope shown and the posting also lists other locations that may pay differently or not be covered by this figure. false means the figure covers the whole posting as far as we can tell.
open_to_public: false for federal postings that are not open to all applicants. They are hidden unless you pass audience=all. applicant_audience lists who may apply, and open_to says it in words. Non-federal postings are true.
last_checked_at: When we last confirmed the posting with its source. first_observed_at is when we first saw it; it is not the employer's posting date (employer_published_at, often null).
apply_url, source_url: Where to apply and the employer's public posting. Applications are made there, never through us.
other_variants: How many other location variants this one opportunity has. Search returns one entry per opportunity.
extraction_method: How the pay was read: from a structured field, or by fixed rules over the posting text. See the methodology.

Unknown values are null, never "no" or zero.
