What you should know before choosing Techmap
The API returns 10 postings per request
Correct - the Jobs API is metered per request of 10 postings, which works out at $1 per 1,000 job postings. For bulk volumes you don't page through the API at all: daily JSON Lines files per country arrive in your own S3 bucket via AWS Data Exchange, without request limits.
The API only covers the last 3 months
Correct - the API is built for fresh postings. Everything older lives in the historical archive: 451M+ postings since January 2020, sold per country as datasets in the same schema, so current and historical data join without mapping.
Duplicates are flagged, not removed
Correct - a posting with the same company, city, country and title within 3 days is kept and marked isDuplicate: true, with isDuplicateOf pointing to the first one. Add isDuplicate=false to an API query to exclude them. Keeping them is useful for analysis: they show on which boards, career pages and employment offices a company distributes its job ads - and how much it spends on them.
What you get with Techmap in return
- 250 countries & territories incl. Remote - including markets many providers skip.
- Archive since January 2020 - 451M+ postings for trend research and model training.
- First-party sources - 120 ATS platforms and 7 public employment offices next to job boards and aggregators.
- Bulk price per posting - $1 per 1,000 job postings via API, flat per-country prices for files.
- AWS Data Exchange delivery - buy through your AWS account, files land in your S3 bucket.
- Duplicates as a signal - see where a company distributes its job ads and estimate its job ad spend.
- Free Luxembourg feed and dataset - check the full schema before you spend anything.
- Data stored in the EU - all data lives in AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany), GDPR-compliant.
