Google Cloud Talent Solution (CTS) is often mistaken for a Google jobs data API. It isn't one. CTS is a RESTful service that brings machine learning to job search over your own job content: you create tenants, companies and jobs through the v4 API at jobs.googleapis.com, then call search, searchForAlert or completeQuery against them. Google's docs say that once it's integrated with your job content, it infers attributes such as related titles, seniority and industry. It supplies no listings of its own. Pricing (as of January 5, 2021, per Google's pricing page) requires billing to be enabled; the first 10,000 search calls and 10,000 stored jobs and companies each month are free, then search costs $1.50 per 1,000 calls and storage about $0.25 per 1,000 jobs or companies a month, with expired jobs billed until deleted or purged after 90 days. CleanJobData is the other half: a job data API that supplies listings from employer ATS platforms and company career sites. It's also distinct from Google for Jobs, the search feature, which has no API for reading its listings.
How the Google Cloud Talent Solution API worksIs There a Google Jobs API? Talent Solution, Indexing and SERP| Feature | CleanJobData | Google Cloud Talent Solution |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A job data API: we supply the listings | A search and matching service over job content you upload; supplies no listings |
| Search quality | Keyword and structured filters, sort by relevance or date | Machine-learning search that infers related titles, seniority and industry — more advanced relevance than ours |
| API | REST JSON, GET /jobs with cursor pagination | v4 REST and RPC at jobs.googleapis.com: tenants, companies, jobs (create, batchCreate, search, searchForAlert), completeQuery |
| Setup | Sign up and query | Google Cloud project with billing enabled; you create companies and jobs before you can search |
| Search pricing | Included in the monthly plan | First 10,000 search calls a month free, then $1.50 per 1,000 (lower with savings plans) |
| Storage pricing | None | First 10,000 jobs and companies a month free, then about $0.25 per 1,000 a month, prorated hourly; open and expired jobs both billed |
| Free trial | 14 days, 300 req/day — no card | Free tier above, with billing enabled |
| Plan | CleanJobData | Google Cloud Talent Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 300 req/day — no card | 10,000 searches and 10,000 stored jobs/companies a month; billing account required |
| Starter | $39/mo — 50,000 requests | Pay as you go: $1.50 per 1,000 searches beyond the free tier |
| Pro | $99/mo — 100,000 requests | Pay as you go, plus storage beyond 10,000 objects |
This isn't an either-or. If you already have jobs, from your own employers or a data provider you're licensed to use, and want stronger search relevance, CTS is a search layer to consider. If you don't have jobs yet, CTS can't help, because it supplies none, and CleanJobData provides the listings. A job board can use CleanJobData's own filters for search, or send the jobs into a search layer like CTS for machine-learning relevance.
300 requests a day during the trial, no card required.
No. It searches job content you create through its API. Google's docs describe it as a service that brings machine learning to the job search experience once it's integrated with your job content.
Google's pricing page (pricing as of January 5, 2021) says billing must be enabled, but you're only charged beyond 10,000 search or searchForAlert calls, or 10,000 stored jobs and companies, a month. Search then costs $1.50 per 1,000 calls; storage is billed hourly at about $0.25 per 1,000 jobs or companies a month. Only searches that return HTTP 200 are billed, and expired jobs are billed until you delete them or they're purged after 90 days.
No. Google for Jobs is the job search feature in Google Search, which finds jobs through JobPosting structured data on employer and job board pages. It has no API for reading its listings. Cloud Talent Solution is a paid Google Cloud API for searching your own job content.
Technically yes: CTS can index any jobs you create in it, so CleanJobData could supply the listings and CTS the search. Check that your CleanJobData plan's licence covers your use case first; Starter and Pro allow syncing into your own database to power your own product.
GET https://api.cleanjobdata.com/jobs?title=engineer&remote=true with an Authorization: Bearer header. Responses are JSON with structured location, salary, experience level and company data. Pro and above see new jobs as soon as we index them; Starter lists them 24 hours later.
