Getting started

Choose how you access the feed directory, then fetch job postings from each ATS. There are three ways:

  • Snapshot download — manual catalog download on-demand
  • API (PRO plan) — backfill the catalog into your local database with incremental sync
  • API (ULTRA plan) — live catalog queries, no need to store feeds in your local database

Step 1

Download the feeds as CSV file

A feed is an API endpoint for a company's job board on an ATS. Our catalog includes account slug, feed URL, platform, and lifecycle metadata. It is not a job posting and not a normalized job record.

Store feeds as your own copy in your database. You work from that local catalog when fetching jobs and scheduling syncs.

Download a catalog snapshot, a point-in-time CSV file, and import it into your infrastructure. Good for a one-time seed without an API subscription. Same fields as the API, without pagination or incremental sync.

Snapshot downloads are on Get the catalog.

Step 2

Fetch jobs from ATS feeds

Job data lives on each company's ATS, not in the ATS Feeds catalog. For each feed in your workflow, HTTP GET the feed_url and parse the response into your job store.

Response shape is platform-specific. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and others each expose their own JSON. Plan one fetch worker and one parser per ATS you support.

Example: fetch jobs from Greenhouse
curl "https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/example-co/jobs"

ATS Feeds does not normalize or enrich postings. You own storage, deduplication, search indexing, and refresh scheduling for the jobs you pull.

Public API patterns, cURL examples, and integration notes for each platform are on the ATS platform pages.

Step 3

Keep feeds in sync

Companys launch and retire job boards over time. Your local feed catalog needs to reflect new boards and drop retired ones on whatever cadence fits your product.

Download a fresh catalog snapshot and replace your local copy manually. This can be cheaper if you only need to refresh once a month, but there is no automation. You run the import yourself each time.
