## Base Jobs API endpoints
{% hint style="info" %}

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

| POST | */v2/job\_base/search/filter* | Search for relevant job postings using search filters |

## 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.
