FAQ

## Questions

**How much does the Google Jobs API cost?**

Each successful call costs one credit. New accounts get free credits every month, and credit packs bring the price down as you scale.

**What format are responses in?**

Every endpoint returns JSON, with no HTML parsing on your side.

**Do I need a separate key for Google Jobs?**

No. One key works for every API in the catalogue.

**Should I build a Google Jobs scraper instead?**

You can, but a Google Jobs scraper is code you maintain: page changes break it, requests get blocked, and Google Jobs's terms govern how you collect data. The Google Jobs API gives you 1 endpoint of named JSON fields for 1 credit per successful call, and failed calls cost nothing. A scraper makes sense only for data these endpoints don't return, so check the response in the playground on this page first.
