Jooble API vs The Muse API for AI agents
Jooble API is a REST API that lets site owners take Jooble job search results and show them on their own website. The Muse API is a public JSON API for job and company listings posted on The Muse.
The short answer
- Jooble API: Embedding Jooble search results in your own site design for a single country.
- The Muse API: A free, no-key way to pull The Muse's curated job listings with company context.
Side by side
| Jooble API | The Muse API | |
|---|---|---|
| Searches | Jooble's aggregated job search, one country per key (a jooble.org key covers US listings; other countries use their regional domain). | Jobs listed on The Muse, filterable by company, category, level and location (including flexible/remote). |
| Returns | JSON with totalCount and jobs, each with id, title, location, snippet, salary, source, type, link, company and updated. | JSON pages of 20 results; each job has name, contents (description), publication_date, locations, levels, categories, company and refs.landing_page. |
| Before the first call | Fill in a form (name, position, email, website, phone) to get a key; each country domain needs its own key, sent in the URL path of a POST. | Nothing for testing; an api_key from registration is required for any use beyond testing. |
| Free | The free plan has a lifetime limit of 500 requests per key (not monthly). | 500 requests per hour without a key; 3,600 per hour with a registered key. No price is stated. |
| Acting on a result | link is the job posting on Jooble. | refs.landing_page points to the job page on themuse.com. |
| Limits on keeping or showing results | Not stated on its pages | Content shown via the API must link back to The Muse; on termination you must destroy stored Muse Content (terms last modified 7/25/2015). |
| Coverage | Per-country keys via Jooble's regional domains (e.g. jooble.org for the US, uk.jooble.org, de.jooble.org). | The location filter lists cities worldwide; no stated country coverage. |
| MCP server | No official server listed | No official server listed |
