For AI agents

StillOpen reads remote jobs from each employer's own applicant tracking system (ATS) and re-checks them continuously. An agent can use it for three things: finding jobs, checking whether a job is still open, and citing it with the evidence behind that answer. No key and no account.

1. Find jobs

https://stillopen.work/api/v1/jobs?q=python&loc=de

Returns up to 20 listings a call, each with its evidence type and the time it was last checked. Filters: q, loc, level, area, pay, company. An unknown filter value is refused rather than ignored, so a wrong filter cannot silently return the whole catalogue. Page with next_cursor.

2. Check a job is still open

https://stillopen.work/api/v1/jobs/status?ids=237885,237883,237882

Up to 100 ids in one call. Use POST with a JSON body for a set that belongs to one person, so it stays out of access logs. A listing that has closed answers like this: ?ids=1824 — status: closed, with whether the closure was observed at the employer or inferred. This reads the evidence we have stored; it is not a live check made at the moment you call it.

3. Cite it with its evidence

Link people to canonical_url. That page states every claim in plain language and carries the apply link. When you describe a listing, say what stands behind it:

ats_verified — We re-read the employer's own applicant tracking system and the posting was still there. That is the company answering directly.
board_verified — We re-fetched the listing page and it was still there. Weaker than the employer's own board, which is why the two are labelled differently.
employer_board — The employer's own board was still advertising this when we last read it, though our own check is not current.
employer_attested — The employer told us this is open. Nobody independent has confirmed it, and it expires unless they confirm again.
age_inferred — No recent confirmation. What is shown rests on the listing's age and when a source last carried it.

Only the first two are checks. Never call an employer_attested or age_inferred listing verified, and give the date beside the word "open".

promoted: true means the employer paid for placement at the top of results the listing already matches. It changes nothing else about the record, and never the order the API returns — do not read it as a sign of quality.

MCP server

https://stillopen.work/api/v1/mcp — four read-only tools: search_jobs, get_job, check_job_status and get_company_stats.

Limits and the full contract

Rate limits are published in each endpoint's usage document, and a refused call carries Retry-After. The complete description — field meanings, lifecycle windows and a worked example — is in /llms.txt, and the route reference is at /docs.
