Boston job listings API

Boston's innovation hub in one stable feed. Kendall Square AI companies, Cambridge biotech, and Seaport SaaS — roles pulled directly from employer career pages. The MIT and Harvard research pipeline feeds a steady stream of lab-adjacent and research-engineering spinouts that don't show up in most other US tech markets.

The Problem

Boston's tech scene is concentrated in specific sub-markets — Cambridge, Kendall Square, and the Seaport — that most APIs merge into a generic 'Boston metro' without useful precision.

Our Solution

We provide precise location normalization for Boston's distinct tech clusters, so you can build for Kendall Square's AI scene without pulling unrelated suburban roles. Biotech and life-sciences postings, which often use different vocabulary than typical software listings, are normalized into the same consistent schema.

What you're getting

Source
Direct postings from ATS and employers career sites.
Companies
This batch includes roles from AeroVect, Flywire, StemWave, Globalhr, and Astrazeneca, and more.
Volume
Preview shows 10 roles (limit 10, with more pages available). Authenticate and paginate to explore the full Boston index.
Filters
Filter by country, state, city, title, remote setting, experience level, and salary. Full filter reference in the Jobs API docs.

At a glance

  • Strong AI and biotech representation — Cambridge and Kendall Square are among the densest AI research clusters in the country.
  • Sub-city location precision covering Cambridge, Somerville, and the Seaport District.
  • Continuously updated to reflect Boston's fast-moving life sciences and AI hiring.
  • Biotech and life-sciences roles are normalized into the same schema as software roles, useful if your board spans both.
  • Combine city_id with remote-US-ET for Boston-headquartered software companies hiring distributed engineering teams.

Example request

Same query as the playground, as cURL. Use your real key on the server only.

curl -X GET "https://api.cleanjobdata.com/jobs?city_id=112589&max_age=30d" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

How to integrate

1. Get an API key

Sign up for CleanJobData, open the dashboard, and create or copy your API key. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request (server-side only in production—never expose keys in mobile apps or public repos).

2. Query Boston listings

Start from GET /jobs?city_id=112589 for Boston, then add &title=... or &remote=true as needed — e.g. GET /jobs?city_id=112589&remote=true.

Use a modest limit while prototyping, default to sort_by=published for recency, then follow pagination.next_page for large imports. Back off with exponential retry if you hit rate limits.

3. Shape data for your product

List responses default to a lightweight field set with no description — add extra_fields=description when a view needs the full HTML body (e.g. GET /jobs?extra_fields=description), or pass fields=id,title,company,location,salary_min,salary_max to replace the default set entirely with just what a card renders. Detail requests (GET /jobs/:id) always include description, no extra param needed.

FAQ

Can I use this in production for a paid job board?

Yes—that is the intended use case. The free Trial tier (250 list + 500 detail requests/mo, no card required) is enough to prototype and verify data quality; Starter ($97/mo, 100,000 requests/mo) and Pro ($297/mo, 500,000 requests/mo) cover most production job boards. Keep your API key server-side, cache responses where it makes sense, and follow the cursor pagination contract for large imports.

How do I narrow results beyond Boston?

Combine the location filters already applied on this page with title (GET /jobs?title=React+engineer), remote=true or the finer remote_type=fully_remote|remote_country|remote_region|hybrid, experience_level=SE,EX for seniority, or salary=100000,180000 for a compensation range. Every combination is documented with validation rules on the Jobs API reference (/docs/api/jobs).

What rate limits or quotas should I expect?

Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining headers, so you can watch your usage and slow down before hitting a 429 rather than reacting to one. The per-second limit resets within a second or two if you do hit it — a short wait and retry is enough. A separate, unrelated 429 fires if you exhaust your plan's monthly request quota; that one won't clear by waiting, so check the error message text to tell the two apart.

How is this different from scraping job boards myself?

We normalize employers, locations, salary text, and remote flags into one schema, refresh listings continuously, and expose stable HTTP filters. You spend time on product and UX instead of repairing scrapers every time a site changes markup.

How fresh is the job data?

We refresh listings continuously from our sources. Use sort_by=published (the default) for newest-first ordering, and for incremental syncs use created_max_age=1d (or 6h, 7d — a rolling window on ingestion time) rather than published_after, since a listing can finish processing after its original publish date and published_after alone can miss it.

Do you return full job descriptions on list endpoints?

Not by default — list responses use a lightweight field set to keep list pages and mobile clients fast. Add extra_fields=description to a list request (e.g. GET /jobs?extra_fields=description) to include it, or use fields=id,title,description,... to request an explicit set. The single-job detail endpoint (GET /jobs/:id) always includes the full description with no extra param needed.
