Chicago job listings API

The Midwest's tech capital in one stable API. Chicago jobs pulled directly from employer career pages — fintech, trading, and SaaS all well represented.

The Problem

Chicago's fintech and trading roles are specialized and high-value, but they disappear into generic software engineering categories in most job feeds.

Our Solution

We normalize Chicago's distinct tech roles with precise title parsing — fintech, quant, and trading roles surface correctly rather than getting buried under generic engineering titles.

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 Chicago listings

Start from city_id 113931 (Chicago), then add title or remote filters as needed.

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

Choose which fields you render in job cards versus what you index for search. On list endpoints, trim payloads with fields, include_fields, or exclude_fields, and only request description when you truly need full text on list views.

FAQ

Can I use this in production for a paid job board?
Yes—that is the intended use case. Pick a plan that matches your query volume, keep keys on your server, cache responses where it makes sense, and follow the pagination contract for large imports. Contact support if you need higher limits or contract terms.
How do I narrow results beyond Chicago?
Add state_id, city_id, or location, combine with a keyword in title, or filter remote-only roles. Each option is spelled out in the Jobs API reference (/docs/api/jobs) with validation rules you can copy into code.
What rate limits or quotas should I expect?
Limits depend on the plan you choose. Higher tiers support more queries per second so job boards with heavy traffic or large sync jobs stay smooth. Paginate with the API's cursors and retry politely if you occasionally receive a 429 response.
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, so you are not stuck with a stale export. Use sort_by=published when you want the newest posts first, and run incremental syncs on a schedule that matches how often your job board should update.
Do you return full job descriptions on list endpoints?
Descriptions are available but not included in lightweight list responses by default. Request them explicitly when building detail views so list pages and mobile clients stay fast and cheap to render.
