About this skill

Google Jobs search

Search Google's public careers site and pull one posting's full detail — description, responsibilities, and qualifications — as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no scraping careers.google.com by hand.

When to use this skill

  • "Search for jobs at Google in ."
  • "What is Google currently hiring for in <team/location>?"
  • "Pull the full detail (description, responsibilities, qualifications) for Google job id ."
  • "Track new Google Jobs postings for over time."

Setup (one-time)

  • Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
  • Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY in the environment before running the helper.
  • The helper reads CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment and sends requests to https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key → 401.

How it works

  1. Search — /google-jobs/search takes a required q (search query), plus optional location (free text) and page (1-based). It parses careers.google.com's server-rendered search page's embedded job data, so each result already includes the description, responsibilities, and qualifications inline — no second call needed just to read a listing. Page size is fixed by Google at 20 results; pass page to walk further pages.
  2. Job detail — /google-jobs/job takes the required id (the numeric Google job id returned by search) and re-fetches that single posting's full server-rendered detail page. Use it to refresh one posting or to fetch a job by id when you already have it from elsewhere (e.g. a saved link).

Full endpoint list, methods, and params: reference/endpoints.md.

Calling the API

# Search:
scripts/crawlora.sh /google-jobs/search q="software engineer" location="Mountain View" | jq '.'

# Job detail by id:
scripts/crawlora.sh /google-jobs/job id=123456789012345 | jq '.'

Use scripts/crawlora.sh for all requests; it keeps the API key out of command-line arguments.

Endpoint reference

See reference/endpoints.md for both Google Jobs endpoints this skill uses.

Examples

  • Role search in a location: /google-jobs/search with q="data scientist" and location="New York", paging with page=2, page=3 to collect more than 20 results.
  • Track a specific posting: save the id from a search result, then poll /google-jobs/job for that id on a schedule to detect edits or removal (a 404/empty response signals the posting closed).

Notes & limits

  • Credits / pay-on-success: billed only on 2xx; free tier 2,000 credits/mo. Key at https://crawlora.net.
  • Public data only — public careers.google.com postings; respect Google's terms.
  • Security: key lives in CRAWLORA_API_KEY only — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it.
  • Page size is fixed at 20 by Google — there's no limit/per_page param, only page to move through results.
  • id must be the numeric Google job id from a search result's id field, not a slug or URL.
