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.
