Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Adzuna API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Adzuna API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Adzuna aggregates job listings from across the web and exposes them through a country-scoped REST API covering search, category breakdowns, salary histograms, top-company rankings, and geo-distributed listings. Each endpoint takes a country code (e.g. gb, us, de) and returns structured job data drawn from thousands of sources, making it suitable for job boards, salary research, and labour-market analytics. Authentication uses an app_id and app_key pair appended as query parameters.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Adzuna API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Job Board and Aggregator Backend

Power a niche job board with Adzuna's aggregated listings instead of scraping individual employer sites. The /jobs/{country}/search/{page} endpoint returns paginated, structured job records — title, company, location, salary, description, and source URL — across all supported countries. Pair with the categories endpoint to filter by domain (IT, healthcare, finance) without maintaining your own taxonomy.

Call GET /jobs/gb/search/1 with what=python developer and salary_min=70000 and return the top 20 listings with title, company, and salary range

Salary Benchmarking and Compensation Research

Generate compensation benchmarks for a role and location using Adzuna's salary histogram endpoint, which returns the distribution of advertised salaries across live listings. Compensation, talent, and HR teams can answer 'what does a senior data engineer earn in Manchester?' from real market data instead of survey lag, then refresh whenever needed.

Call GET /jobs/us/histogram with what=senior data engineer and location0=California and return the salary distribution as a list of bands with counts

Labour-Market Analytics and Reporting

Build labour-market dashboards that track job volume, top employers, and category mix over time. Adzuna's history endpoint returns time-series data for any keyword and country, while the top_companies endpoint surfaces the active hirers. Useful for economists, recruiters, and policy teams who need a low-cost view of national or regional hiring trends.

Call GET /jobs/de/history with what=software engineer and produce a 12-month job-count series plus the top 5 hiring companies from /jobs/de/top_companies

AI Agent Job Search Assistant

Give an AI agent the ability to answer job-search questions and produce shortlists in chat. Through Jentic, an agent searches by intent for the right Adzuna operation, loads the schema, and executes the search with the user's filters — country, keyword, salary minimum, location — without ever seeing the raw app_id and app_key.

Search Jentic for 'find jobs by keyword and location', load the /jobs/{country}/search/{page} schema, and execute with country=gb and what=react developer

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Adzuna app_id and app_key are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected as query parameters at execution time. The agent never sees the raw credentials.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'find jobs by keyword and salary') and Jentic returns the matching Adzuna operation with its input schema, including the country path parameter.

Time to first call

Direct Adzuna integration: 1-2 hours for auth, country routing, and pagination handling. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Adzuna API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Adzuna API?

Adzuna does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Adzuna API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Adzuna API use?

Adzuna uses an app_id and app_key pair passed as query parameters on every request, obtained from the Adzuna developer portal. Through Jentic both values are stored in the vault and injected at execution time so they never appear in the agent's context.

Which countries does the Adzuna API cover?

Every endpoint is scoped by a country path parameter — gb, us, de, fr, nl, ca, au, in, br, pl, za, ru, sg, mx, it, and at — covering 16 markets with the same request shape and response schema.

Can I get salary distributions with the Adzuna API?

Yes. Call GET /jobs/{country}/histogram with a what query and optional location filters and Adzuna returns the count of live listings in each salary band, suitable for compensation benchmarking dashboards.

What are the rate limits for the Adzuna API?

Adzuna applies free-tier and commercial-tier limits per app_id; specific limits are not declared in the spec. Check the Adzuna developer portal for your tier and watch for HTTP 429 responses, which Jentic surfaces verbatim so agents can back off.

How do I search jobs by salary minimum through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search Jentic with 'find jobs by keyword and location', load the /jobs/{country}/search/{page} schema, and execute with country, what, salary_min, and page parameters. Jentic returns the parsed listings without exposing your app_id or app_key.
