What was Proxycurl?
Proxycurl was a LinkedIn-derived data API operated by Nubela. The service shut down in July 2025 (see Nubela's announcement, retrieved September 2026). Teams that relied on it for hiring signals and job data need another source.
Proxycurl served multiple use cases:
- People profile enrichment - retrieving contact and career data from LinkedIn member profiles.
- Company data - firmographic data from LinkedIn company pages.
- Job posting data - LinkedIn job listings used as hiring signals for sales intelligence and recruitment automation. This is the use case Techmap directly addresses.
Techmap replaces the job posting layer only. For people profile enrichment and contact data, a dedicated contact enrichment provider is needed alongside Techmap.
Why Techmap covers the job data use case
If your Proxycurl integration used job postings as a hiring signal - to identify companies that are actively recruiting in specific roles, locations, or tech stacks - Techmap provides that data from 185 sources with an archive since January 2020.
What Techmap replaces in the Proxycurl stack:
- LinkedIn job postings - as one of Techmap's 185 sources.
- Hiring signals - company name, job title, location, skills, and posting date for identifying actively recruiting companies.
- Broader job market context - 8M new postings per month from 250 countries & territories, including ATS career pages, job boards and employment offices.
- Historical hiring data - 451M+ postings from January 2020 for trend analysis across time.
What Techmap does not replace:
- LinkedIn member profile data (name, email, work history, skills, connections).
- Company firmographic data from LinkedIn company pages.
- Contact enrichment (email addresses, phone numbers).

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.
