The GitHub Jobs API allows you to search, view, and create jobs with JSON over HTTP.
To get the JSON representation of any search result or
job listing, append .json to the URL you'd use
on the HTML GitHub Jobs site.
For example, when searching for Python jobs near New York on the site I am taken to this url:
http://jobs.github.com/positions?description=python&location=new+york
To get the JSON representation of those jobs I just use positions.json:
http://jobs.github.com/positions.json?description=python&location=new+york
The GitHub Jobs API supports JSONP.
Appending ?callback=myFunction to any API request will wrap the
response in a function call to myFunction. This is useful when
making requests to the GitHub Jobs API using JavaScript.
If you're using jQuery, this means you should use
jQuery.getJSON
or set dataType to 'jsonp' when using jQuery.ajax.
The API also supports pagination. /positions.json, for
example, will only return 50 positions at a time. You can paginate results
by adding a page parameter to your queries.
Pagination starts by default at 0.
