Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby jobs APIs compared
Short answer: Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby each publish a free, public job-board API (boards-api.greenhouse.io, api.lever.co/v0/postings, api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api), so for a handful of companies you can call them directly. For many companies across several ATSes in one schema, use a hosted actor: on the Apify Store these cost between $0.0015 and $0.005 per job. Ours, tidewell/ats-jobs-api, covers 8 ATSes at $0.003 per job with no start fee.
Calling the public APIs yourself
| ATS | Endpoint | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse | https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{{slug}}/jobs | Add ?content=true for descriptions and &pay_transparency=true for pay ranges |
| Lever | https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{{slug}}?mode=json | EU boards use api.eu.lever.co |
| Ashby | https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/{{slug}} | Add ?includeCompensation=true for pay |
| Workable | https://apply.workable.com/api/v1/widget/accounts/{{slug}} | Widget feed; no salary |
| SmartRecruiters | https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/{{id}}/postings | Paged; returns 200 with 0 results for unknown companies |
| Recruitee | https://{{slug}}.recruitee.com/api/offers/ | |
| Personio | https://{{slug}}.jobs.personio.de/xml | XML; some boards are on .com |
The hard parts are finding each company's slug, normalising eight different schemas, and parsing salary. Our free Which ATS does this company use? tool probes these endpoints from your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Greenhouse jobs API?
Yes. The Greenhouse Job Board API at boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{slug}/jobs is public and needs no key for reading published jobs.
Is there a free Lever postings API?
Yes. api.lever.co/v0/postings/{slug}?mode=json returns a company's published postings without a key (api.eu.lever.co for EU-hosted boards).
How do I find which ATS a company uses?
Look at where its careers page links (boards.greenhouse.io, jobs.lever.co, jobs.ashbyhq.com, apply.workable.com and so on), or probe the public endpoints with likely slugs. Our free tool does the probing in your browser.
