Best JobDataAPI Alternative:
More Coverage, More Jobs

JobDataAPI offers a simple API for job data, but many teams need broader global coverage, richer historical records, and enterprise-grade bulk delivery.

Techmap’s job posting API and data feeds were built for exactly that.

Who is JobDataAPI optimal for?

JobDataAPI is aimed at developers who want quick access to job postings through a basic API. It is best suited for small-scale projects where speed of integration matters more than scale, coverage, or advanced delivery formats.

Use it if:

  • You’re building a prototype, proof of concept, or hobby project.
  • You don’t require global coverage, extensive historical datasets, or daily bulk exports.
  • You need small-scale, real-time job search results for a specific region.
  • You work on API-only implementations where bulk data delivery isn't required.
  • You don’t require historical archives beyond early 2023.

When companies outgrow JobDataAPI

As your data needs scale - especially for analytics, global expansion, or bulk ingestion - you’ll hit several limitations. Teams expanding into new markets, pursuing advanced analytics, or developing AI models often encounter limitations in data depth, delivery options, and accuracy.

Typical challenges are:

  • Limited coverage beyond a small set of regions or markets.
  • No support for hourly or daily bulk exports via AWS S3, AWS Data Exchange, or similar.
  • Lack of sufficient historical job data for large-scale analytics, ML, or LLM training.
