Job Posting Extraction

Job posting extraction supports pages with a single job posting on them, as found on job boards, career sections of company web-sites, or other sites. Many fields are extracted, such as job title, description, salary information and publication date.

This supports use-cases such as market, technology and competitor analysis, finding leads, and many others.

Request example

If you requested a job posting extraction, and the extraction succeeds, then the jobPosting field will be available in the query result:

}]
