Arbeitsamt vs Reed
Arbeitsamt
The Bundesagentur für Arbeit's Jobsuche API is Germany's official public job-search service, covering listings, employer details, and application document references. Every request needs the fixed public clientId sent as an X-API-Key header rather than a per-user OAuth token, and returns JSON.
Reed
Reed's Jobseeker API searches the UK's reed.co.uk job listings by keyword, location, salary band, and contract type, returning employer and description data for each match. Access needs a free registered API key sent as the HTTP Basic-auth username, confirmed live by a genuine 401 challenge that also echoed a wildcard CORS header back.
