Code

Integrate in minutes

One host, one Bearer key for every Clair API. Each call returns JSON with the same envelope, so a second API is a new path, not a new client.

FAQ

Common questions

Anything else? Email contact@serinlabs.com.

What does the Glassdoor API return?

Scrapes Glassdoor’s public pages (browser, bot-walled); not Glassdoor’s private API. Search and Job read job listings. Company search finds an employer’s employer_id and slug; Company returns its ratings, rating distribution, CEO approval, and newest reviews; Salaries returns base and total pay percentiles by job title. Pages behind Glassdoor’s login (full review history, interviews) are not offered. Each page is one request. next_cursor is the next page number; do not send cursor.

Which endpoints does a subscription include?

All of them: Search, Job, Company search, Company, Salaries. They share this API's monthly quota.

How is a request counted?

Each call is one request, and each extra page is a new call. A malformed request (400) is not counted, and a request that fails on our side (5xx) is refunded.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Every Clair API has its own free tier: 200 requests a month, with no card. It resets monthly, and the API stops when the month's requests run out.

What happens when I use up my plan's requests?

On a paid tier, extra calls are billed at the tier's overage rate until its ceiling, then the API returns 429 until the next period. The free tier returns 429 as soon as its requests are used.

Does this subscription cover other Clair APIs?

No. Each API is its own subscription, and one key works with all of them. A call to an API the account does not subscribe to returns 403 not_subscribed.
