Lever postings API: get all jobs from a Lever job board

Q: How do I get only remote Lever jobs?

Filter on the workplaceType field after you download the list. It cannot be used as a URL filter.

Lever publishes every company's open jobs through a public Postings API. You can read it as JSON without logging in and without an API key.

Short answer: send GET https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{company}?mode=json. {company} is the part after jobs.lever.co/ in the company's job links. For Spotify, https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/spotify?mode=json returned 82 open jobs when we checked on 2026-10-04.

Step by step

Find the slug. Click any job on the company's careers page. If the link looks like jobs.lever.co/spotify/..., the slug is spotify. Companies on Lever's EU instance use jobs.eu.lever.co/{company}; call api.eu.lever.co for those.
Call https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/{company}?mode=json. Without mode=json (or an Accept: application/json header) you get HTML.
Read the array. Each posting has id, text (the title), categories (location, commitment, team, department, allLocations), workplaceType, createdAt, hostedUrl, applyUrl and the description in descriptionPlain and lists.
salaryRange (min, max, currency, interval) appears only when the company publishes pay on the posting. Many do not.

Filters and paging

Need	Parameter
Page through results	`skip=0&limit=50`
One or more locations	`location=London&location=Stockholm`
Team or department	`team=Engineering`, `department=Product`
Full time, intern and so on	`commitment=Permanent` (the exact words come from the company)
Grouped output	`group=team` (or `location`, `commitment`)

Filter values are case sensitive when you pass several of them, and they must match the company's own labels. Download once without filters to see the labels.

Common problems

404 "Document not found": the slug is wrong, the company moved to another ATS, or it is on the EU instance.
Empty array: the board exists but has no published jobs right now, or your filter value does not match a label exactly.
Remote jobs: workplaceType cannot be used as a URL filter. Lever's docs list on-site, but the API returned onsite in our test, so match both.
Dates: createdAt is a Unix time in milliseconds, not an ISO string.
Many companies: you need a loop, error handling, a list of slugs and a way to keep only new jobs.

Free script for Lever, Greenhouse and Ashby

We made ats-jobs, an MIT-licensed Node.js 18+ script with no dependencies. It reads many boards at once and maps Lever, Greenhouse and Ashby to the same fields: node cli.mjs jobs.lever.co/spotify greenhouse:stripe --keyword engineer --csv > jobs.csv. Use lever:eu:{company} or a jobs.eu.lever.co link for EU boards.

Lever plus 12 other ATS in one dataset

We also run the ATS Jobs Scraper on Apify, a paid hosted version of the same idea. It takes Lever slugs, career page URLs or company names and returns the same fields for Lever, Greenhouse, Ashby, Workday and 9 more ATS, with keyword, location and date filters and a new-jobs-only mode for daily alerts. It costs $1.50 per 1,000 jobs.

FAQ

Does the Lever postings API need an API key?

No. Reading published postings with GET is public. Only the POST endpoint that submits applications needs a key from the company.

Why does the Lever API return 404 Document not found?

The company slug is wrong, the company left Lever, or it uses Lever's EU instance. Try api.eu.lever.co with the same slug.

How do I get only remote Lever jobs?

Filter on the workplaceType field after you download the list. It cannot be used as a URL filter.
