# Search Jobs

Searches public LinkedIn job postings by keyword and location. The only public discovery surface LinkedIn exposes.

- Platform: [LinkedIn](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/platforms/linkedin)
- Capability ID: `linkedin.jobs.search`
- Cost: 1 credit per request
- Maximum runtime: 120 seconds
- Execute endpoint: `POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute`

## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash
curl -X POST https://data.upscrape.com/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"keywords":"software engineer","limit":25,"location":"United States"},"capability":"linkedin.jobs.search"}'
```

## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `company_id` | `string` | No | Optional numeric LinkedIn organization id to restrict the search to one company. |
| `keywords` | `string` | No | Search terms, e.g. a job title or skill. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Maximum job results to return. Pages are walked in tens until this is met. |
| `location` | `string` | No | Location filter as typed on LinkedIn, e.g. a country, region or city. |

### Example input

```json
{
  "keywords": "software engineer",
  "limit": 25,
  "location": "United States"
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

No committed sample output is available for this capability.


## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
