Google Jobs Listing API

To enable this engine, set the engine=google_jobs_listing parameter.

While the Google Jobs API returns a list with all the available listings on the Google Jobs platform, the Google Jobs Listing API returns data scraped from a singular job. The job you want to scrape is identified by its ID.

You can get the job_id via the Google Jobs API.

This is the base 64 encoded value of a JSON like this: {"job_title":"Sr Software Developer (R&D)","company_name":"B. Braun Medical Inc.","htidocid":"U3hnego7LaXJ9lF7AAAAAA==","q":"programmer"}
