Amazon Jobs API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Amazon Jobs search API to extract supported public Amazon Jobs data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/amazon-jobs/searchSearches Amazon's public careers site (amazon.jobs) via its credential-free search JSON. Each result includes the full description and qualifications inline. `sort` accepts `relevant` (default, upstream relevance ranking) or `recent` (newest posted first). Either `q` or `category` (or both) must be given -- `category` filters by Amazon's own job-category taxonomy and works with no text query at all. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- A valid query with no matches returns `total: 0` and an empty `jobs` array (not an error). This includes `category=fulfillment-center-warehouse-associate`, which returns zero results live — Amazon's hourly fulfillment-center hiring appears to run through a separate system, not this search API. - `jobs[].description`, `basic_qualifications`, and `preferred_qualifications` are HTML-stripped plain text. - `jobs[].posted_at` is best-effort parsed to RFC3339 from Amazon's free-text posted date; it is omitted if the upstream format ever drifts. - Invalid `category`, `limit` (over 100), or `sort` values return an invalid-parameter error before upstream IO. - State/city-level location filtering is not exposed — Amazon's `search.json` did not honor it reliably during research; only the country filter was confirmed working. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "query": "software engineer", "country": "USA", "page": 1, "limit": 20, "total": 2027, "jobs": [ { "id": "10386857", "title": "Software Engineer", "company": "Amazon Web Services Australia Pty Ltd", "location": "Sydney, New South Wales, AUS", "city": "Sydney", "state": "NSW", "country": "AUS", "category": "Software Development", "schedule_type": "full-time", "posted_at": "2026-04-09T00:00:00Z", "description": "AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure...", "basic_qualifications": "Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or other technical degree or related experience...", "preferred_qualifications": "Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers...", "url": "https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10386857/software-engineer", "apply_url": "https://account.amazon.com/jobs/10386857/apply" } ], "source_url": "https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search.json?base_query=software+engineer&limit=20&offset=0&result_limit=20" } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
