apple-jobs-research

Researches Apple job postings via the Crawlora API — searches jobs.apple.com and pulls full posting detail (description, qualifications, location, team) — returning clean JSON. Use when the user wants to search Apple careers listings, check what a specific Apple team/location is hiring for, or pull the full detail of a specific Apple requisition or pipeline role.

Apple Jobs search

Search Apple's public careers site and pull full posting detail — all as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no scraping jobs.apple.com by hand.

When to use this skill

• "Search for jobs at Apple in ."
• "What is Apple currently hiring for on the team?"
• "Pull the full description and qualifications for Apple job ."
• "Is Apple hiring for retail / evergreen roles in ?"

Setup (one-time)

• Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
• export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
• All requests: x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY against https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key → 401.

How it works

1. Search — /apple-jobs/search (q required, location and page optional) searches jobs.apple.com's server-rendered search page. Page size is fixed by Apple at 20 results per page; results carry identity/location/ team metadata only, not the full description.
2. Job detail — /apple-jobs/job (id required) fetches one posting's full description and qualifications by the id field returned from search (a specific requisition like 200674676-0836, or an evergreen/ pipeline retail role like PIPE-200314122).

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

Calling the API

sh

# Search:
scripts/crawlora.sh /apple-jobs/search q="software engineer" location="united-states-USA" | jq '.'

# Job detail:
scripts/crawlora.sh /apple-jobs/job id="200674676-0836" | jq '.'

Raw curl fallback:

sh

curl -fsS -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/apple-jobs/search?q=machine%20learning&location=singapore-SGP" | jq '.'

Endpoint reference

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

Examples

• "What is Apple hiring for in Cupertino?" — /apple-jobs/search q="engineer" location="united-states-USA", page through with page, then /apple-jobs/job on the ids you care about for full qualifications.
• "Pull the full posting for req 200674676-0836." — /apple-jobs/job id=200674676-0836 directly, no search needed if you already have the id.

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 postings; respect jobs.apple.com's terms.
• Security: key lives in CRAWLORA_API_KEY only — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it.
• Search page size is fixed at 20 by Apple — walk multiple pages via page to cover more results.
• location uses Apple's own slug format (e.g. united-states-USA, singapore-SGP), not a free-text city/country string.
• Search results are metadata-only — call /apple-jobs/job for the full description and qualifications of a specific posting.
