Indeed Job Search data API

Indeed Jobs · Identity

Indeed Job Search exposes a graph-style job API — illustrated below as /v1/jobs/recommendations and /v1/jobs/cards — plus REST-style calls for application status (/v1/applications/status), interviews (/v1/interviews/list), unread counts, session-to-token exchange (/v1/auth/token) and keyword typeahead (/v1/suggest/keywords).

Indeed Job Search (package com.indeed.android.jobsearch, version 296.1.0) is Indeed's Android client for job search, applications, interviews and employer messaging. Behind the home feed, My Jobs, sign-in and inbox screens the app calls a graph-style job API (recommended jobs, job-card hydration, session init, account profile, employer conversations, recent searches, resume tags) plus REST-style endpoints for application status, interview lists, unread message counts, session-to-token exchange, keyword autocomplete and new-job counts. Anonymous calls send an app API-key header with country and locale headers; signed-in calls add an OAuth Bearer access token.

Where teams use this data

Talent-pipeline reconciliation
An ATS nightly-syncs My Jobs applicationStatus, encryptedIaAppId and interview formatType/status so recruiters see the same pipeline a candidate sees in Indeed.
Job-market pulse from public cards
A labour-market dashboard hydrates getJobsData cards (title, compensation.formattedText, overallRating, location.formatted) without storing candidate PII.
Inbox SLA for employer replies
A jobseeker CRM watches FindConversations unreadCount plus messaging/jobseekers/v2/summary totals to page when an employer thread goes stale.
Identity match at apply time
A background-check vendor binds Passport firstName/lastName/emailAddress/accountId from initGraph to the resume id returned by GetResumeTags before submitting Indeed Apply.

Frequently asked questions

Where do Indeed job cards come from?

The app posts to a graph-style job API — illustrated as /v1/jobs/recommendations for the home widget and /v1/jobs/cards for result cards — returning title, employer name, compensation text and overall rating.

How does Indeed Job Search authenticate?

Calls send an app API-key header with country and locale headers. After sign-in the app exchanges its session at /v1/auth/token for an OAuth access token sent as Bearer auth.

What identity fields does the signed-in account expose?

The account profile call returns first name, last name, email address, verification state and account id, plus inbox unread counters.

Which calls power My Jobs?

GET /v1/applications/status lists applied jobs with each application's pipeline status; GET /v1/interviews/list lists interview invitations with format, time slots and job details.
