    Shameless Self-promotion

    Not quite S-tier, and definitely better than F-tier, cut out the middleman and search/download job posting data directly with my pipeline: Trace Jobs. Trace ingests ~50k new unique job postings per day and are queryable via REST api at https://kaleh.net/trace. There are currently exactly 2,366,671 job postings on the disk.

      Hey, I was really interested in checking this out, until I realized that I needed to enter payment even for your free plan. Why is that required?

        Yeah, great question. This was something I deliberated about a lot. In the end, the decision to require a $0 payment to access the free plan came down to two things: 1) mitigating exposure to Sybil attacks and 2) minimizing operational burden on me. I think it could be revisited in the future and with my current budget, this is what I came up with.

        Regardless, thank you for taking a look and providing feedback. I really appreciate the comment and it’ll help me navigate the path forward for that project.
