All facts in this section are per JobsPipe docs.
discovered_at, last_seen_at, verified_at and closed_reason per job.ghost_score per job.JobsPipe’s field names next to ours:
| BetterJobs | JobsPipe |
|---|---|
title | job_title |
seniority | seniority |
salary | salary_usd |
posted_at | date_posted |
first_seen_at | discovered_at |
last_seen_at | last_seen_at |

What JobsPipe filled on a given job is in that job’s sources[] entry for jobspipe, under fields. In the spec’s illustrative async-search example, JobsPipe supplied title, description, apply URL, location, seniority and employment type.
Per JobsPipe docs, freshness is under 6 hours on its Builder plan and under 1 hour on its Scale plan. On each BetterJobs job, the jobspipe entry in sources[] carries first_seen_at and last_seen_at for that source. JobsPipe’s verified_at maps to our last_verified_at.
JobsPipe scores how likely a posting is a ghost. BetterJobs returns the opposite question, p_real: the probability (0 to 1) that the job is a real open req. p_real comes from corroboration across every source that saw the job, not from JobsPipe alone. Read it as roughly the inverse of ghost_score, not as a rescaled copy. See p_real and Provenance and confidence.
Per JobsPipe docs, 1 credit buys a job for the rest of the calendar month. BetterJobs bills 1 credit per unique job you have not already paid for. A job you already paid for is free on later reads and counts in metadata.jobs_already_paid. GET /v1/billing/ledger?job_id=... proves it. See Credits and billing.
JobsPipe searches with POST /v1/jobs/search. BetterJobs uses the same method and path on its own host, https://api.betterjobs.cc/v1/jobs/search, but a different body: filters go under filters with suffix operators like title_or. Unknown filter fields return 400 unknown_filter. The translation is in Migrate from JobsPipe.
JobsPipe reports salary_usd. BetterJobs keeps pay in the job’s own currency: salary.currency (ISO 4217) with min, max and period. Convert yourself if you need USD.
JobsPipe classifies with ISCO-08, ISIC and ESCO. BetterJobs returns its own job_family and seniority values. See Taxonomies.
Only when JobsPipe is enabled on your plan. Then:
max_coverage asks it on every search.cheapest_first asks it only if the BetterJobs index and earlier sources did not fill the page.waterfall.providers: ["betterjobs", "jobspipe"] pins it.Check metadata.providers.tried and metadata.providers.hit to see whether it was asked and matched.
Growth includes 2 partner providers; Pro and above include all six. GET /v1/providers shows what your plan enables. See the plan table.
