Arbeitsamt vs USAJOBS
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.
USAJOBS is the official job board for the U.S. federal government, and its Search API returns current vacancy announcements plus dozens of reference code lists (agencies, pay plans, hiring paths). Every request needs a free registered email/API-key pair sent as custom headers, confirmed live by a genuine 401 challenge that also carried a wildcard CORS header.
