## Base Jobs API endpoints

{% hint style="info" %}
Our API is a data retrieval tool. The endpoints do not support analytic features.
{% endhint %}

Base Jobs API features **two search** and **one collect** endpoint.\
Use the endpoints with any API-compatible application to retrieve job posting data.

| Request type | Endpoint                               | Function                                                              |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/filter*          | Search for relevant job postings using search filters                 |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/filter/preview*  | Retrieves a small set of partial data using Search Filter queries     |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/es\_dsl*         | Search for relevant job postings using Elasticsearch DSL schema       |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/es\_dsl/preview* | Retrieves a small set of partial data using Elasticsearch DSL queries |

### Bulk Collect

Bulk Collect (Bulk API) expands Base Jobs API's functionality and features **two POST** and **two GET** endpoints.

| Request type | Endpoint URL and function                                   |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| POST         | */v2/data\_requests/job\_base/id\_file*                     |
| POST         | */v2/data\_requests/job\_base/filter*                       |
| GET          | */v2/data\_requests/{data\_request\_id}/files*              |
| GET          | */v2/data\_requests/{data\_request\_id}/files/{file\_name}* |

## Request types

{% hint style="warning" %}
All Jobs data API requests must be made over HTTPS. Requests made over HTTP will fail or be redirected to HTTPS.
{% endhint %}

Jobs data API supports two types of requests:

* **Search** endpoints support POST requests only.
* **Collect** endpoints support the GET requests only.

| Request type | Endpoint                               |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/filter*          |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/filter/preview*  |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/es\_dsl*         |
| POST         | */v2/job\_base/search/es\_dsl/preview* |
| GET          | */v2/job\_base/collect/{job\_id}*      |
