Careerjet

Verified Jul 2026

Careerjet's original affiliate search API is closed to new integrations: the HTTP-only legacy endpoint answers a well-formed query from an ordinary domain with HTTP 401 "The legacy Job Search API is only accessible for authenticated legacy users", pointing callers at the v4 partner API instead — reproduced live this run, 6 of 6, on calls that differed only in their Referer header. Build against v4 (search.api.careerjet.net/v4/query), which needs a registered API key as the HTTP Basic username with an empty password; confirmed live to 401 both with no key and with an invalid one. Watch for a narrow placeholder-development allowance on the legacy endpoint: a Referer of example.com or localhost still returns genuine current listings, while every real domain tried got the 401 — so a local prototype can look like it works and then fail on its first request from a production host. The affid is not what gates it; a fabricated one, a valid-looking one and none at all all behave identically.
