Why engineering teams switch from Coresignal.
No Two-Step Search + Collect Double Billing
Coresignal's multi-step API charges you once to search job IDs and again to fetch each job object. JobPostings API returns up to 100 complete job records (including full description_html, description_text, salary, and skills) in a single GET /v1/jobs/search call.
Clean Redistributable License Metadata
Every record includes explicit redistribution_allowed, attribution, and license fields so your compliance team knows which jobs can be publicly syndicated.
Replace Two-Step Search + Collect with One Call
Fetch complete job objects with descriptions and skills in a single request:
# Step 1: Search IDs (charged)
ids = requests.post("https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/job_base/search/filter", json={"title": "Data Engineer"}).json()
# Step 2: Fetch each job detail individually (charged again)
jobs = [requests.get(f"https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/job_base/collect/{jid}").json() for jid in ids[:20]]import requests
# Single request returns up to 100 full job records with descriptions & salary
res = requests.get(
"https://api.jobpostingsapi.com/v1/jobs/search",
headers={"x-api-key": "jp_live_your_api_key"},
params={"q": "Data Engineer", "country": "US", "limit": 20},
)
jobs = res.json()["data"]Interactive Engineering Workbench · Benchmark vs Coresignal
