=VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "page")

Job Search is a jobs API that searches the open positions at thousands of companies at once. Search by job title keywords, location, country, remote work, employment type, posting date or company, and get the newest matching jobs first, each with its title, company, location, country, workplace type, posting date and apply link. Paid plans add salary ranges, a minimum salary filter, larger pages and each job's full description.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 20 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "page") down a column and Job Search returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Job Search beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the job search values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "page")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "page")

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

  • location

    Return only jobs with a location containing this text, for example London, New York or Bavaria.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "location", "New York")
  • country

    Return only jobs in this country: an ISO 3166 code or a name, for example US, GB or Germany.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "country", "US")
  • remote

    true returns only jobs open to remote work; false only jobs that are not.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "remote", "true")
  • employmentType

    Return only jobs of this employment type. Jobs that give no employment type are kept, since many companies leave it blank; only jobs of another type are left out.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "employmentType", "full-time")
  • postedSince

    Return only jobs first published at or after this date or date-time (ISO 8601, for example 2026-10-01), or within this age: a number followed by h, d or w, for example 12h, 7d or 2w.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "postedSince", "7d")
  • company

    Return only jobs at this company, by its career board name, usually the company name in lowercase, for example airbnb.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "company", "airbnb")
  • minSalaryPremium

    Return only jobs whose salary range reaches at least this amount, in the job's own currency and pay period. Jobs that publish no salary are left out when this is set.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "minSalary", "100000")
  • page

    Page of results: 10 jobs per page up to page 5 on the free plan, 50 per page up to page 10 on paid plans.

    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "page", "1")

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

  • Count
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "count")
  • Has More
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "hasMore")
  • Jobs
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs")
  • Jobs › Id
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.id")
  • Jobs › Title
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.title")
  • Jobs › Company
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.company")
  • Jobs › Location
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.location")
  • Jobs › Locations
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.locations")
  • Jobs › Country
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.country")
  • Jobs › Remote
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.remote")
  • Jobs › Workplace Type
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.workplaceType")
  • Jobs › Employment Type
    =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "jobs.0.employmentType")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Job Search, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Job Search into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "field", "count") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.
What data can I pull from Job Search?
Job Search returns count, hasMore, jobs, jobs.0.id and jobs.0.title, plus 7 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.
Can I narrow what Job Search returns?
Yes — Job Search takes "location", "country", "remote" and "employmentType", plus 4 more as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("jobsearch", "software engineer", "location", "New York") shapes the result without changing anything else.
Can I fill a whole column of Job Search at once?
Yes. Put your keyword values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.
How many credits does each Job Search cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 20 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.
Does Job Search work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.

Put Job Search in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
