This article is a part of a series of articles covering the Greenhouse API in depth, and covers the specific use case of using the Greenhouse API to Get all open jobs from Greenhouse API.
You can find all the other use cases we have covered for the Greenhouse API along with a comprehensive deep dive on its various aspects like authentication, rate limits etc here.

Get all open jobs from Greenhouse API

Overview

To retrieve all open jobs from the Greenhouse API, you need to utilize two endpoints: one to list all jobs and another to get the openings for each job. Below is a step-by-step guide with Python code snippets to achieve this.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. List All Jobs

First, use the GET /v1/jobs endpoint to list all jobs in the organization.

import requests
import base64

# Replace with your Greenhouse API key
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
auth = base64.b64encode(f'{api_key}:'.encode()).decode()

url = 'https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/jobs'
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Basic {auth}'
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
jobs = response.json()

2. Filter Open Jobs

Filter the jobs to include only those with the status ‘open’.

open_jobs = [job for job in jobs if job['status'] == 'open']

3. Get Openings for Each Job

For each open job, use the GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}/openings endpoint to retrieve the openings.

openings_url_template = 'https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/jobs/{job_id}/openings'
open_jobs_with_openings = []

for job in open_jobs:
job_id = job['id']
openings_url = openings_url_template.format(job_id=job_id)
response = requests.get(openings_url, headers=headers)
openings = response.json()
open_jobs_with_openings.append({
'job': job,
'openings': [opening for opening in openings if opening['status'] == 'open']
})

4. Result

The open_jobs_with_openings list now contains all open jobs along with their open openings.
