# Jobs Search

**Jobs Search** is an independently documented x402 Atlas bridge at https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com.
This document describes only this bridge; it does not aggregate routes, schemas,
or content from any other bridge.

## How payment works

Paid operations use the [x402 payment protocol](https://x402.org) and settle in
USDC. Atlas supports deployments on Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum, plus configured
Solana networks. This bridge currently advertises Arbitrum One (`eip155:42161`), Base (`eip155:8453`), Polygon (`eip155:137`), Solana mainnet (`solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp`).

1. Send the HTTP request without a payment signature.
2. Read the `402 Payment Required` response. Its `accepts` entries are the
   authoritative network, asset, amount, and recipient options for that call.
3. Select an option, sign it with an x402-compatible wallet or SDK, and repeat
   the request with the `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. The successful response is
   returned after verification and settlement.

TypeScript clients can automate the challenge, signing, and retry flow with
[`x402-fetch`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/x402-fetch) or
[`x402-axios`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/x402-axios). Fund a dedicated
wallet only with the working USDC balance it needs and keep that key separate
from treasury accounts.

## Pricing

Atlas route prices start at $0.005 per successful call. This bridge's fallback
price is $0.005; operations below state their exact configured price in
`x-x402` and `x-payment-info`. The live `402` challenge remains authoritative.

## Worked payment example

Request one documented operation without a signature to inspect its live terms:

```bash
curl -i 'https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/search?country=us&language=en&location=New+York%2C+NY&query=software+engineer'
# HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
# Read accepts[].network, asset, amount, and payTo from this response.
```

Sign one accepted option and repeat the identical request with the
`PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. Do not invent or cache payment terms; read them from
the current challenge.

## Use this API

- Interactive reference: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/docs
- OpenAPI 3.1 specification: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/openapi.json
- Agent-readable route corpus: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/llms.txt
- Endpoint index: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/index.json

Use the operation schemas and examples below to construct requests. Copy the
server URL, path, method, parameters, and request body from the operation you
want to call. Path and query examples are concrete and can be used directly.

## Atlas response metadata

Successful JSON responses include an additive top-level `_atlas` block, kept
separate from the bridge's data fields. `_atlas.docs` links this bridge's
`/llms.txt` corpus. `_atlas.related` suggests adjacent APIs, each with a callable
`url`, its own `docs` link, and a short `summary`. Suppress this block by sending
`X-Atlas-Meta: none` or by adding `?_atlas=0` to the request.

## Errors and compatibility

Validation failures use HTTP `400`. Paid operations may return `402` before
dispatch. Upstream and internal failures use the documented `5xx` responses.
Clients should rely on documented fields and tolerate additive response fields,
including `_atlas` unless they explicitly opt out.

## Jobs Search

Docs: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/docs · OpenAPI: https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/openapi.json

### GET /search

Job search — find current openings by role, skill or company with location, salary, schedule, qualifications and direct application links.

Search current job openings with a free-text `query`, optionally narrowed by `location`, two-letter `country`, and two-letter `language`. The response contains normalized role, company, location, full description, compensation, schedule, qualifications, highlights and direct employer or job-board application links. Pass `next_page_token` from a prior response to continue. No matches return 200 with an empty `jobs` array. An omitted `query` returns the declared sample with a note and does not call the upstream.

**Price:** $0.05 per call.

Parameters:
- `country` (optional, string) — Two-letter country code; pattern: `"^[A-Za-z]{2}$"`; example: `"us"`
- `language` (optional, string) — Two-letter result language; pattern: `"^[A-Za-z]{2}$"`; example: `"en"`
- `location` (optional, string) — City, region or country used to localize results; maxLength: `120`; example: `"New York, NY"`
- `next_page_token` (optional, string) — Opaque next_page_token returned by a previous search; maxLength: `16384`
- `query` (required, string) — Role, skill, company or other free-text job search; minLength: `1`, maxLength: `200`; example: `"software engineer"`

Example:

```sh
curl 'https://jobs.use.x402atlas.com/search?country=us&language=en&location=New+York%2C+NY&query=software+engineer'
```
