The Google Jobs API returns Google's aggregated job listings for a title and location — company, location, posting age, schedule type, salary chip, description and, critically, the via field naming which job board the listing came from.
Google for Jobs is not a job board. It is an aggregator that ingests structured job postings from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, company career pages and hundreds of smaller boards, and presents them in one list. That makes it the single broadest job surface available — one query reaches boards you would otherwise integrate individually — and the via field tells you where each listing actually lives.
$0.001 per delivered listing, up to 50 listings per run. Nothing delivered means nothing charged.
A job title, optionally a location, and the collector reads Google's jobs list from an exit in your chosen country and returns structured rows.
via is the field that changes how you use this. Because Google aggregates, the same role frequently appears from three different boards, and via is what lets you deduplicate deliberately — keep the canonical source, or keep the one that links to the company's own career page rather than to a board.
extensions carries the chips Google renders around a listing: posting age, employment type, salary hints, sometimes benefits. They are inconsistent across sources by nature, since Google is surfacing whatever each board published, and they arrive as-is rather than being forced into a schema they do not fit.
query is the job title and is required. location narrows geographically and is worth setting — an unlocated job query returns a national mixture. country and lang set the exit and locale together. max_results caps delivery; the cap here is lower than on the board-specific collectors because Google's jobs list is itself shallow.
One row per listing. via names the source board and is the most useful field for dedupe and for deciding which link to follow. schedule_type is full-time, part-time, contract and so on, where the source published it. salary is a display chip rather than a parsed range — Google surfaces whatever the origin board provided, so for structured pay data the Indeed collector is the better source. link goes to the listing at its origin.
$0.001 per delivered listing ($1 per 1,000). Nothing delivered means nothing charged, and the $2 monthly free credit covers roughly 2,000 listings here. Volume tiers take up to 30% off.
$0.001 per delivered listing, $1 per 1,000. Because coverage per query is shallow — up to 50 listings — the cost of a broad market scan is dominated by the number of title-and-location combinations rather than by depth. Fifty combinations daily at 30 listings each is 1,500 rows, $1.50 a day.
Blocked pages and empty queries are never billed, and the free $2 monthly allowance covers about 2,000 listings.
There is no Google API that returns Google for Jobs listings. This is the point that sends people in circles, because Google has two adjacent products with confusingly similar names. Cloud Talent Solution — formerly the Cloud Jobs API — is a hosted job search engine you populate with your own listings; it does not read Google's aggregated results. And Google's guidance for appearing in Google for Jobs is about publishing JobPosting structured data on your own site so Google can ingest you.
Both are about supply. Neither reads the demand side. Google for Jobs is a search surface, and like Google's other verticals it has no public read API — which is why every option for collecting it, including this one, works by reading the public results.
Google's jobs surface is one of the more awkward verticals to collect:
One query reaches listings from many boards at once — the fastest way to size demand for a role without integrating each source.
Aggregate via to see which boards actually carry hiring in your sector and market, then invest integration effort where it pays.
Company-level listing volume over time, drawn from a broader base than any single board provides.
Use this for discovery breadth, then the board-specific collectors for depth and structured salary on the roles that matter.
Up to 50 listings per run — genuinely shallower than the board-specific collectors, because Google's own jobs list is shallow. Design for breadth: more title-and-location combinations rather than deeper paging. Runs parallelise up to your plan's rate limit, 60 requests/minute on pay-as-you-go up to 1,200 on the top tier. Google for Jobs is not available in every country; an empty result there is a fact about the market.
Legally: listings are public and aggregated by Google from public sources, and collecting public data is generally lawful in most jurisdictions, but Google's terms restrict automated access. Descriptions are the origin employer's copyrighted text. Not legal advice.
No. Cloud Talent Solution is a hosted search engine for your own listings, and Google's structured-data guidance is about getting your postings ingested. Neither reads Google for Jobs results. There is no public read API for the vertical.
There is a free allowance of $2 a month with no card, about 2,000 delivered listings at $0.001 each. No Google Cloud project or billing account is involved.
$0.001 per delivered listing — $1 per 1,000 — with no subscription. Volume tiers take up to 30% off, and blocked pages and empty queries are never billed.
The job board the listing actually came from — LinkedIn, Indeed, a company career page, or a smaller board. Google aggregates, so the same role often appears from several sources; via is what lets you deduplicate deliberately and choose which link to follow.
Up to 50, which is shallower than the board-specific collectors because Google's own jobs list is shallow. The right pattern is breadth — more title-and-location combinations — rather than deeper paging.
It returns Google's salary chip as displayed, which is whatever the origin board published. For parsed minimum, maximum and period, the Indeed collector is the better source — it structures pay properly.
