# Search jobs

Searches and continues through public LinkedIn job cards by absolute offset, with filters, stable continuation metadata, and explicit result-card limitations.

- Platform: [LinkedIn](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/platforms/linkedin)
- Capability ID: `linkedin.jobs.search`
- Cost: 1 credit per request
- Maximum runtime: 120 seconds
- Execute endpoint: `POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute`

## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://data.upscrape.com/execute \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $UPSCRAPE_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Prefer: wait=30" \
  --data '{
  "input": {
    "date_posted": "past_month",
    "keywords": "software engineer",
    "limit": 25,
    "location": "United States",
    "start": 0,
    "workplace_types": [
      "remote",
      "hybrid"
    ]
  },
  "capability": "linkedin.jobs.search"
}'
```

## Input


| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `company_id` | `string` | No | Optional numeric LinkedIn organization id to restrict the search to one company. |
| `date_posted` | `string` | No | Restrict jobs by their LinkedIn posting window. Allowed values: `any_time`, `past_24_hours`, `past_week`, `past_month`. Default: `any_time`. |
| `employment_types` | `array<string>` | No | Allowed values: `full_time`, `part_time`, `contract`, `temporary`, `internship`, `volunteer`, `other`. |
| `experience_levels` | `array<string>` | No | Allowed values: `internship`, `entry_level`, `associate`, `mid_senior`, `director`, `executive`. |
| `keywords` | `string` | No | Search terms, e.g. a job title or skill. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Maximum job results to return. Pages are walked in tens until this is met. From 1 to 400. Default: `25`. |
| `location` | `string` | No | Location filter as typed on LinkedIn, e.g. a country, region or city. |
| `max_pages` | `integer` | No | Maximum upstream page attempts in this call; no module page retries. Result limit may stop earlier. This is an upper bound: the host deadline may stop execution earlier. LinkedIn results may change between requests; pagination does not provide a consistent snapshot. From 1 to 40. Default: `40`. |
| `start` | `integer` | No | Absolute result offset for deterministic continuation with next_start. From 0 to 10000. Default: `0`. |
| `workplace_types` | `array<string>` | No | Allowed values: `on_site`, `remote`, `hybrid`. |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
