Retrieve job postings for a specific company using LinkedIn's API

Question

I have access to a company\'s unique linked in ID and would like to be able to do a search for its job postings; however, the only company-related input for the job-search

Answer 1

Linkedin does not expose most of its apis publicly anymore starting from May, 2015. Please go through this link (https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/posts/2015/developer-program-changes) for more info. You cannot achieve this anymore unless you are a part of their partnership program. More info here https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs

Answer 2

You can do this a couple of different ways. In neither case do you need to

Using job-search as you noted, you can do this:

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/job-search:(jobs:(id,company:(id,name),position:(title,location,job-functions))&company-name=LinkedIn

Note that job-search is a fuzzy match in this case so if you're close, it's probably good enough. You don't want to include "Inc" if you're looking for a company, though. The documentation for the job-search API is here: https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/job-search-api

Check the Hacker Summary at the top of the page to see all the different fields you can retrieve with a single call (there's no need to make subsequent calls to get more details).

However, if you've gotten the company ID you can get jobs directly from the job lookup API: https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/job-lookup-api-and-fields

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/jobs/1337:(id,company:(id,name),position:(title,location,job-functions)

Again, the same field selectors apply here. You can request the details for the job in the same query you use to find the jobs in the first place.

Answer 3

LinkedIn API for jobs of particular company based on company Id http://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/(LinkediUniqueCompanyID)/updates?event-type=job-posting

Answer 4

LinkedIn may someday improve their API to handle requests such as the one needed here. But for now, it looks like the only way to get all job postings for a company based on the company ID is to make 2 separate preliminary calls (one to acquire the company name using the company ID, then a second to acquire all jobs based on the company name). Then another call to the API must be made for each job ID returned by the second call.

Answer 5

I know this isn't the API but you might find this plugin that they provide to be useful:

https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/jobs-you-may-be-interested?button-type-yours=true

Just put in your company name and it gives a nice widget with your company's jobs. Again, not really the API but I thought it might accomplish what you wanted anyways.
