Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "jobs",
"endpoint": "/v1/jobs/linkedin/search",
"data": {
"items": [],
"count": 0,
"cursor": null
},
"credits_used": 3,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
items | array | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].id | string | null | Exact source identifier; preserve it as a string. |
items[].title | string | null | title |
items[].location | string | null | location |
items[].country | string | null | country |
items[].country_code | string | null | country code |
items[].description | string | null | description |
items[].description_html | string | null | description html |
items[].date_posted | string | null | date posted |
items[].employment_type | string | null | employment type |
items[].apply_url | string | null | apply url |
items[].url | string | null | url |
items[].company | object | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].company.name | string | null | name |
items[].company.image | string | null | image |
items[].salary | object | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].salary.min | number | null | Lower salary amount. |
items[].salary.max | number | null | Upper salary amount. |
items[].salary.currency | string | null | Source currency code. |
count | number | null | Returned rows, not the total population. |
cursor | string | null | Opaque continuation; pass unchanged. |
has_more | boolean | null | Source continuation indicator. |
total | number | null | Source-reported total; null means unknown. |
Location filtering can shorten a page. Search descriptions are optional; linkedin/job returns the full description where available.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
