Adzuna vs The Muse
Adzuna
Adzuna's job-search API exposes its aggregated listings, salary histograms, and regional/company vacancy trends across dozens of countries. Access requires a free app_id/app_key pair from its developer portal, with results returned as JSON, JSONP, or XML.
The Muse
The Muse's public API returns its job listings and company profiles — culture content, photos, and open roles per employer — the same data powering its own site and widgets. Anyone can call it for light testing; registering a free app key raises the rate limit and is required for production use.
