google-jobs-research

Searches Google's public careers site (careers.google.com) via the Crawlora API and pulls single job postings by id, returning clean JSON. Use when the user wants to search Google Jobs, see what roles Google is hiring for in a location, or pull the full detail of a specific Google Jobs posting.

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.
• 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 — /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).

Calling the API

sh

# 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 '.'

Raw curl fallback:

sh

curl -fsS -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/google-jobs/search?q=product+manager&location=Remote" | jq '.'

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.
