Salary Data APIs
Salary APIs focus on pay benchmarks rather than individual job listings. PayCrunch and Salary Explorer are free, keyless and built on US BLS OEWS survey data, with Salary Explorer breaking wages down by state or metro. Jobicy's paid Salary API benchmarks by job title and country with experience tiers, and Adzuna pairs salary and vacancy trends with its job search.
