Reed vs USAJOBS
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.
USAJOBS
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.
