Overview

Researched from the vendor's own pages; every fact links to its source and the day we checked it.

USAJOBS, the US federal government's job site, offers REST APIs on data.usajobs.gov (Search, Historic JOAs, Announcement Text) plus code list endpoints. Search returns open federal job opportunity announcements filtered by keyword, title, salary, grade, category and location. Requests send Host, User-Agent (registered email) and Authorization-Key headers; code lists need no auth.
