Orthogonal - The Unified API for AI Agents

If you're building anything that touches job data, you know the pain. Career sites are scattered across dozens of ATS platforms, each with its own format. Job boards update on their own schedule. By the time you scrape, normalize, and deduplicate everything, half the listings are already stale.

Today we're excited to announce our partnership with Fantastic.jobs, a job posting API that aggregates 14M+ listings per month from 200,000+ career sites and major job boards, with hourly refresh and AI enrichment baked in. Every posting comes normalized with structured fields, matched company data, and 20+ AI-generated attributes, so your agents can work with clean data without additional processing.

What is Fantastic.jobs?

Fantastic.jobs is a multi-source job aggregation API built by Remco Strijdonk in Amsterdam. Instead of scraping individual career pages yourself, Fantastic.jobs polls 200,000+ ATS-hosted career sites and job boards every hour, normalizes the data, and serves it through a clean REST API.

Their core capabilities:

ATS Jobs API: 3M+ jobs per month from 200,000+ career sites across 54 ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle Recruiting
Job Board API: 11M+ jobs per month from LinkedIn, Wellfound, and Y Combinator
Hourly Refresh: 99% of indexed career sites polled every hour, with 95% of new jobs discovered within 3 hours of posting
AI Enrichment: 20+ structured fields generated per job, including normalized titles, employment types, remote/hybrid classification, salary parsing, and seniority levels
Organization Enrichment: Matched company profiles with LinkedIn data, industry taxonomies, Crunchbase funding, Glassdoor ratings, headcount timeseries, and news articles
Expired Jobs API: Dedicated endpoint to track which listings have been taken down, keeping your database in sync
Modified Jobs API: Catch re-posted and updated listings so your dataset mirrors the latest version of every job
6-Month Backfill API: Seed a new application instantly with historical ATS and job board data going back six months

Using x402 Protocol

Fantastic.jobs on Orthogonal also supports x402, an open protocol that enables native payments in HTTP. Your agents can pay for API calls directly using USDC stablecoins, no API keys required.

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(
  process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`
);
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);

const response = await fetchWithPayment(
  "https://x402.orth.sh/fantastic-jobs/v1/active-jb?time_frame=24h&title=Data%20Scientist&location=United%20States&limit=10"
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
