What is the Ashby Job Board API?

Ashby's posting API returns a company's public job board as JSON with no key. Each role gives its title, department, team, employment type and primary location, plus a structured list of secondary locations with proper postal address components.

Ashby is the newer entrant among applicant tracking systems, and it shows in the data model. Where older boards hand you a single free-text location string, Ashby returns `secondaryLocations` as an array of objects, each with a `postalAddress` containing separate country, region and locality fields — actual structured geography rather than a string you have to guess at.

That matters most for the increasingly common role advertised as "Remote - European Union" with a specific list of countries the company can actually employ in. The primary `location` gives you the headline, and `secondaryLocations` gives you the real answer, which is exactly the distinction a job seeker cares about. Departments and teams also arrive as separate fields rather than one concatenated string, so faceting works without parsing. Some address components come back as empty strings rather than null, so test for emptiness rather than existence.

Common errors and how to fix them

404

The board name is wrong or the board is not published.

Fix: Take it from the company's Ashby careers URL. Unpublished boards are not exposed.

Empty strings in address fields

Ashby serialises unset components as `""` rather than null.

Fix: Test for empty strings as well as null before rendering an address line.

No compensation data

Ranges are opt-in per employer and off by default.

Fix: Add `includeCompensation=true`, and accept that many employers publish nothing.

Location contradicts secondaryLocations

The primary location is a marketing label; the secondary list is the operational reality.

Fix: Show the primary string as the headline but use `secondaryLocations` for any eligibility filtering.

Ashby Job Board API — frequently asked questions

Is the Ashby job board API free?

Yes, public with no key. Ashby's full hiring API, which covers candidates and interviews, requires an API key and is a separate product.

How do I find a company's Ashby board name?

It is the segment after `jobs.ashbyhq.com/` in their careers URL, and that segment is what this endpoint takes.

What are secondaryLocations for?

They list every additional place a role can be filled, each with structured country, region and locality fields. For remote roles scoped to particular countries, this is the field that actually answers the question.

Can I get salary ranges?

Sometimes. Pass `includeCompensation=true` and you will get ranges for employers who publish them, which many do not.
