All facts in this section are per Techmap (jobdatafeeds.com).
/count endpoint to estimate cost first.Techmap’s field names next to ours, where there is a confident equivalent:
| BetterJobs | Techmap |
|---|---|
employment_type | contractType |
What Techmap filled on a given job is in that job’s sources[] entry for techmap, under fields. In the spec’s illustrative example, Techmap supplied job_family to a job the BetterJobs index found first.
Per Techmap, its bulk product is daily country feeds via AWS Data Exchange. On each BetterJobs job, the techmap entry in sources[] carries first_seen_at and last_seen_at for that source.
Per Techmap, it claims 250 countries but about 125 have more than 100 jobs per month. In the rest, expect few or no Techmap hits. That is not an error. A search there returns what the other sources found, and an empty search is free.
Check what Techmap added on each search: metadata.providers.hit says whether it matched, and metadata.providers.contributions.techmap counts unique jobs it contributed first. We do not publish per-country coverage numbers yet; they are published at GA.
Per Techmap’s field reference, records carry an isDuplicate flag. BetterJobs merges every record for the same opening, from Techmap and from the other providers, into one canonical job. Merged copies are free and counted in metadata.duplicates_merged.
Techmap’s /count endpoint estimates cost before you fetch. The BetterJobs equivalent is dry_run: true on Search jobs. It is free and returns expected_unique_jobs_range, providers_planned and credits_range.
Per Techmap’s field reference, records include dateActive, jsonLD (schema.org JobPosting) and workPlace. BetterJobs does not return them as-is. Every job uses the same BetterJobs timestamps instead (posted_at, first_seen_at, last_seen_at, last_verified_at), whichever source saw it. contractType maps to employment_type. See the field dictionary.

Only when Techmap 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", "techmap"] 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.
