Job categoriescategorieslist: Only jobs in these categories.One or more of: Accounting, Accounting and Finance, Account Management, Account Management/Customer Success, Administration and Office, Advertising and Marketing, Animal Care, Arts, Business Operations, Cleaning and Facilities, and 51 more.

Find locations

Turn a place name into the exact values The Muse's location filter accepts - 'seattle' becomes 'Seattle, WA'. Worth doing before filtering on a location read from a spreadsheet, an email or an earlier step: The Muse answers a place it does not recognise by quietly returning the remote-only listings rather than an error, so an unchecked value comes back looking like a successful search with the wrong jobs in it. Reads The Muse's published list and makes no API request.

Inputs

Place namequerytextRequired: A city, state or country, or part of one. Matches ignore case and accents.
Most matches to returnlimitnumber: Stop after this many matching place names.From 1 to 200. Default: 20.

Outputs

countnumber: How many matched
exact_matchtext: The published spelling when the query already named one exactly, otherwise null
locationslist: The matching values, exactly as the filter accepts them, closest first
querytext: The place searched for

Example output

  "query": "seattle",
  "remote_location": "Flexible / Remote"
}

List jobs published since a date

The roles published on or after a date - what a daily or weekly job alert is built on. The Muse's API has no date filter and no newest-first ordering, so this reads the filtered listing page by page and keeps the postings dated on or after the day given. It reports how far it read, so 'nothing new' and 'nothing new in the pages read' are told apart.

Inputs

Published on or afterpublished_sincedateRequired: The earliest posting date to keep. Dates are read in UTC, which is how The Muse stamps a posting.
Companiescompanieslist: Only jobs at these companies. The list is every company with a profile on The Muse; the first use fills it from The Muse and the refresh button re-reads it.

Location searchlocation_searchtext: Type part of a place name - 'Seattle', 'London', 'remote' - to fill the Locations list below with the values The Muse accepts for it.
Locationslocationslist: Only jobs in these places. Choose from the values The Muse accepts, narrowed by the search field above. Note that The Muse returns fully remote roles alongside whichever city is chosen - each job reports whether it is remote.
Most results to returnmax_resultsnumber: Stop once this many matches have been found.From 1 to 200. Default: 20.
Most pages to readmax_pagesnumber: How far into the listing to read before giving up. Each page is 20 results and one request against the hourly allowance, so narrow the filters before raising this.From 1 to 100. Default: 5.

Outputs

filtersobject
jobslist: The jobs published on or after the date
jobs_scannednumber: How many postings were read to find them

published_sincetext: The date filtered on, as YYYY-MM-DD

Search companies

Find an employer by name, and with it the id 'Get company' takes and the exact spelling the job filters match on. The Muse's API has no name search, so this reads the company listing and matches as it goes; the roster is around a thousand profiles, so a search that finds nothing has read all of them and the answer is trustworthy.

Inputs

Words to look forquerytextRequired: Every word must appear for a company to match. Case and word order are ignored.
Where to looksearch_intext: Names alone are the most precise; the wider option also reads the profile blurb and the industries.One of: name (Company name only), everything (Company name, description and industries). Default: name.
Industriesindustrieslist: Only companies in these industries.One or more of: Accounting, Advertising and Agencies, Architecture, Arts & Music, Biotechnology, Blockchain, Client Services, Consulting, Consumer Goods & Services, Data Science, and 32 more.
Company sizessizeslist: Only companies of these sizes. The Muse publishes three bands and no headcounts behind them.One or more of: Small Size (Small), Medium Size (Medium), Large Size (Large).
Location searchlocation_searchtext: Type part of a place name - 'Seattle', 'London', 'remote' - to fill the Locations list below with the values The Muse accepts for it.
Locationslocationslist: Only companies with an office in these places. Choose from the values The Muse accepts, narrowed by the search field above.
Most results to returnmax_resultsnumber: Stop once this many matches have been found.From 1 to 200. Default: 20.
Most pages to readmax_pagesnumber: How far into the roster to read. The default reads all of it - about fifty requests - because stopping early would report 'no such company' for one listed further down.From 1 to 100. Default: 100.

Search jobs

Find jobs whose wording contains every word given - 'staff python' or 'nurse practitioner'. The Muse's API has no keyword search of its own, so this reads the filtered listing page by page and matches as it goes: set the filters as narrowly as you can, and raise 'Most pages to read' when you want it to look further. It reports how far it read and whether it reached the end, so 'nothing found' and 'nothing in the first hundred' are told apart.

Inputs

Words to look forquerytextRequired: Every word must appear for a job to match. Case and word order are ignored.
Where to looksearch_intext: Titles alone are the fastest and the most precise; the full description finds a skill named in the body of a posting.One of: title (Job title only), title_and_company (Job title and company name), everything (Job title, company name and full description). Default: title.
Companiescompanieslist: Only jobs at these companies. The list is every company with a profile on The Muse; the first use fills it from The Muse and the refresh button re-reads it.
Job categoriescategorieslist: Only jobs in these categories.One or more of: Accounting, Accounting and Finance, Account Management, Account Management/Customer Success, Administration and Office, Advertising and Marketing, Animal Care, Arts, Business Operations, Cleaning and Facilities, and 51 more.
Experience levelslevelslist: Only jobs at these experience levels.One or more of: Internship, Entry Level, Mid Level, Senior Level, management.
Location searchlocation_searchtext: Type part of a place name - 'Seattle', 'London', 'remote' - to fill the Locations list below with the values The Muse accepts for it.
Locationslocationslist: Only jobs in these places. Choose from the values The Muse accepts, narrowed by the search field above. Note that The Muse returns fully remote roles alongside whichever city is chosen - each job reports whether it is remote.
Most results to returnmax_resultsnumber: Stop once this many matches have been found.From 1 to 200. Default: 20.
Most pages to readmax_pagesnumber: How far into the listing to read before giving up. Each page is 20 results and one request against the hourly allowance, so narrow the filters before raising this.From 1 to 100. Default: 5.
